I connected the PS3 to the TV using the HDMI cable and the receiver using the optical cable. When I play a standard definition DVD I have no problem getting the 5.1 Dolby surround sound on my receiver. For those that know the receiver the multi-channel "blue" light comes on. When I watch a BD I get the 5.1 dolby digital "blue" light but the sound drop out and then comes back only to do it again and again making it impossible to watch the movie. I have the PS3 set for the optical out and on Bitstream with the Dolby digital 5.1 and DTS selected. On the receiver I have it set on auto detect. When the sound drops out it the receiver indicates "unlock" which I believe means no signal. This is very annoying and I have been playing with this for about a week now without success. Please help.

Can your receiver handle DD5.1 at 640K (known issue on old SONY receivers - If you have STR-DE995 2003 model, that is not that old). Old receivers were only tested to 448K because that was the maximum rate DVD allows. Over the air ATSC HD shows are only 348K DD5.1.
You might try a different cable. The 640K rate is going to show a cable issue that a slower 448K rate from a dvd wouldn't show. Is your issue with a DD 640K or DTS 1.5Mbps Bluray discs? All receivers with the DTS logo should handle DTS 1.5Mbps. You can try a DVD with a 1.5Mbps audio track. Here is a list of DTS DVDs you can search for 1509
