Home audio & video: Help connecting PS3 to Receiver/DVD player w/ no HDMI input
Help connecting PS3 to Receiver/DVD player w/ no HDMI input
by taxhelp_2000 - 1/14/07 2:39 PMI have a HDTV, PS3, and a Sony DreamSystem (combo home theatre/DVD player).
To take advantage of the 1080 and Blueray coming from the PS3, I need to use HDMI (correct?), however I want the PS3 sound to go through the Sony DreamSystem (especially for Blueray movies). Any ideas on how to achieve this, the Sony Dreamsystem does not have an HDMI input.
DIGITAL OUT (OPTICAL)?

yes it does. TV has just one HDMI, so if I get a HDMI

Thanks for your help.
