The speakers are irrelevant actually. But unfortunately, the PS3 will not bitstream anything other than DD or DTS-core. If you select the Dolby TrueHD or DTS-MA HD track, the PS3 will do the decoding and will send the soundtrack as PCM to your 605. The DD or DTS lights will NOT light up as you showed.
You should still get multi-channel audio with this setup through your 5.1 speakers though.
