Re: PS3 audio setup HELP

I know, but you will have to choose each time. The PS3 cannot output audio over HDMI and optical at the same time

As you reciever will pass through the video, you might as well just use that

hI, THANKS FOR THE REPLY.
THE SYSTEM IS ABOUT 12 YEARS OLD. ITS A PANASONIC SA HT900 HOME THEATRE SYSTEM.
HOPE YOU CAN HELP OTHERWISE I CAN SEE MY HAVING TO BUY ANOTHER SURROUND SYSTEM.
JUST TRIED MY YAMAHA 800 WIRELESS SPEAKER WITH THE OPTICAL LEAD AND IT IS PERFECT. CANT USE THIS THOUGH AS WE USE THIS IN OUR MAIN LOUNGE AND MY PS3 IS I ANOTHER ROOM.

Re: PS3 audio setup HELP

Sorry, been away for a bit. After a bit of digging it does seem quite an old system how ever it should still work in theory. Try the following connection to start:

For Video (if possible) PS3 -> HDMI/Component -> TV

Audio: PS3 -> Optical -> DVDrec


Once done, go to your PS3 menu bar and find sound settings. Select the output to optical and then manual. It should ask you to select the codecs and freq to use. Select them all. That should be you done. If its not working then it will an issue with the dvdrec, try looking through the manual on setting up sound. I tried looking on the net for a manual to check but i couldn't see it. Hope this helps
