Below are my input diagrams ...
I have tried everything I could think of thus far ...
I
cannot get sound from the center channel
FROM the PS3 blu ray movies or games.
I
CAN get sound from the center channel with the HT DVD and DVR/Cable box.
I have connected the digi opti from the PS3 into the HT as per Samsung instructions -
NO sound at all from HT system.
I connected the PS3 digi opti
INTO the LCD TV - sound from surround speakers -
NO sound from center channel.
I tried 2 different digi opti cables - same result.
I changed audio output setting within the PS3 - same result.
I also went OUT of the TV and INTO the HT digi opti input.
DVR is connected to TV via HDMI 1
PS3 is connected to TV via HDMI 2
HT is connected to TV via HDMI 3
Since HDMI carries audio AND video signals ....
Why wont the PS3 audio come thru the center channel? (with or without digi opti cable)
(I had a cheap old KOSS HT system with 2 coax dig out and 1 digi opti - PS3 worked GREAT with it.)
Where am I missing something?
Is there an optimal setup for this NEW equipment that is eluding me?
Sony PS3 has only 1 HDMI out and 1 digi opti out.
