DAVDZ230 home cinema Help/PS3

[matw79]

Hi I own a DAVDZ230 Sony home cinema i need to connect my PS3 so i can enjoy blu-ray movies in 5.1 sound how can i do this?
There are no optical ports on the back of the hone cinema system just HDMI Ports?
Any help would be brilliant

You can't using that Sony. There is only one HDMI connection which is used for output to the TV and there are no optical inputs.

Thanks for the reply
Thats a real bummer
Oh well you dont know of any other way?

You need an AVR with HDMI inputs to use the new HD sound formats. An AVR with optical inputs would allow you to use the old DD or DTS audio. Time for an upgrade.

I have now resolved the problem
I can listen to my PS3 through my home cinema kit no problem
All you do is hook a scart from the home cinema to my Bravio Sony HD TV (AV2)
Then hook a scart from the PS3 through to the TV (AV1)
Set the PS3 Sound option from HDMI TO AV
Set the TV option to output on AV1
Thats it!! surround sound from my home cinema
I have even tried a standard DVD with 5.1 and DTS through my PS3 via my home cinema and i can get 5.1 and DTS output from the speakers
Thanks once again
If anybody needs to ask any more questions please feel free to ask.

Congrats. I hadn't thought of passing the audio through the TV.
