    in need of help...

    i have tried in vain to connect my ps3 to my surround system but everything i try i cannot get any sound coming through the system from the PS3.

    i have 40" LG TV with 2 HDMI ports, optical cable, scart etc
    PS3 (optical cable) (configured ps3 to go thru optical for sound output)
    1x optical cable
    scart cable
    composite cables (red yellow white)
    technika 5.1 DVD Home Theatre system with HDMI, Digital Optical Cable
    Technika 5.1 DVD Home Theatre System with HDMI HTKSS10 - Tesco.Direct

    I can get the sound coming through the 5.1 with sky & DVD but not the PS3.

    I have the ps3 connected to tv via HDMI
    PS3 connected to 5.1 surround via optical
    sky connected via hdmi to tv
    sky connected to surround with composite cables


    please... what the hell am i doing wrong?

    is it not just a case of putting the optical cable from your tv to your surround, then by rights it should play whatevers on the tv, thats how mine works anyway!

    when i switch the output on the tv from sky (HDMI1)to the PS3 (HDMI2) i still get the sound from the sky coming through and not the PS3 sound.

    Re: in need of help...

    Don't you need to select the source on your home theatre ?

    I would think that you have two optical inputs (or more) and you will need to select them or you will still here what is playing?

    If you have selected the source correctly and its still not playing and you hear nothing I would suggest you have a faulty optical cable, they are easily fooked to be honest probably the weakest audio cable you should go for better quality if you can.

    I bought 1 meter 9 pound ones and they have been great!

    But on your home theatre can you not try and plug the HDMI from the ps3 into it directly ? and then output the PS3 sound from HDMI and not optical ?

    Give us some more info.

    Could do with model of amp, it sound like you have not selected optical input on your amp.

    Re: in need of help...

    there is lots to consider here. Ideally it would be like this



    however as sky only outputs stereo over hdmi (assuming you have 2 optical inputs on the technica) you would be better off with this



    Now, your ps3 settings are also important. It must be set to allow dolby digital out of the HDMI and not lossless. (PCM option will work fine too).
