You also will need to set up the HDMI audio options manually. To include the audio supported depending on the PS3 model you have.
FAT PS3 can't bit stream DTS-MA or Dolby True HD audio. So there's no point allowing the PS3 to even attempt that so turning them both off will force the PS3 to decode both and feed PCM 7.1 to the amp over HDMI.

The SLIM PS3 can bitstream all bitstream audio over HDMI. But it's still better not to rely on automatic and turn on all audio codecs and frequencies your amp supports manually.
You also have to set the BD/DVD options you have to select PCM OR bitstream.
I have done manual codec select but it still doesn't work, i'll check the BD/DVD is on bit stream but i'm sure it already is.
