This is what my ps3 does when hooked up to my tv that accepts 1080p. Now it doesnt do it when i run hdmi from the ps3 to the surround sound then to the tv. what are some good cable. bought phillips gold plated 1.3a cables at walmart. but check this link out. Mine does the same thing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b4Er5X6Ybw

I think the theater system has to be hooked up to the TV, and the PS3 has to be hooked to the HDMI cable. I did this and the sound was in pure 1080p.

Hi,

The easiest way will be to connect your PS3 and cable box to the TV by HDMI and then run an optical cable from your TV to the surround sound system.

You will need the optical cable. My receiver only passes video through the hdmi. So I hooked up the HDMI cable to the tv, and the optical cable to the receiver. Once that is done you have to go to the audio settings for the PS3 and chose audio through the optical.

dude im sure its ur TV cant be bith 1080i and 1080p not sure that works like that, sorry just stick to what the TV is

you need a HDMI connection for your stereo. HDMI is an all in one cable so if you don't get your sound in/out you need to hook up to just the RCA's, if you get a reciver that has an HDMI input you will solve this. then you go HDMI to Reciver then HDMI to TV

Set the sound out put on ps3 to the optical out put then set sound on ps3 to give you dolby digital,dts,aac etc.

PS, do not set the hrtz range above 100 as this can damage your speakers.

hope this helps.

CABLE GUY.

I just finished setting up my system last night and was facing similar problems with sound/video from my PS3. The only option I could get working was to have the HDMI cable connected from the PS3 to the TV and then connect the Optical cable to the receiver for sound. I was under the impression that HDMI handles sound and video but for whatever reason the PS3 does not agree.

I have DTS sound and fantastic picture now through my PS3, hope this helps.

Cheers

It sucks to see ALLLLLLL these solutions, when I have the solution. Turn off DEEP COLOR in the video settings. It will immediately stop. If it doesn't, then you don't have the typical snow/flickering problem.

Go to Settings/SoundSettings/AudioOutputSettings/AudioInputConnector or DigitalOut depending on type of input you are using for surround.

Connect the PS3 to your TV with the hdmi cable and to the surround sound system with a digital optical cable, then set your PS3 to output sound through the optical port (through the sound options menu) and you're good to go!
