I just have my Xbox 360 Elite, PS3 and Sky HD all plugged into my amp via HDMI. Sorted. :) I have no idea why people don't spend £300 on a little Onkyo 606 -- it'd make their life so much easier. | |

If your amp has optical in Tiger that's exactly what you want to use, optical cable from ps3 to amp and you'll get your 5.1 surround, that's how mine is hooked up. | |

quote: sorry john, could be worth quickly popping to avforums.com and doing a search on your amp seeing as you have the model number, im sure others there would have been in the same boat as you | |

I've got a 505e, think it's old hat now, not sure if the new ones do audio over hdmi or not, excellent amp with my tannoy efx 5.1's, which will be 7.1 in the next couple of days I think. | |

ok maybe a weak point was abit harsh, but some players can decode hd audio to anologue which would of been a nice touch on the ps3 but im guessing this would of made the ps3 far too expensive. | |

It's not a weak point at all, no other blu-ray player will pass the uncompressed 7.1 etc over optical, you can still get some forms of 7.1 through the optical though. | |

following my post about a week ago i have since found out that this is abit of a weak point on the ps3 unless you have an amp that has hdmi input, check to see if it does and just plug the hdmi cable from the ps3 straight to the amp | |

On my home cinema set up (37" Samsung LCD, Sony 5.1 Digital Surround, Sky+ and PS3) I have no idea how to get audio from my PS3 through my 5.1 system. |
