I have a PS3 connected to my DENON AVR-1803 receiver via component for video and optical for audio. Video seems to be fine. With Audio though I can hear some sounds such as menus clicks and audio cds. I loose the audio when I go into games or try to play dvds or Blu Ray dvds. I believe the optical connction must be working if I can get some sound but just not 5.1.
I have updated the PS3 to the most recent version 1.94. I have the optical output, Dolby Digital and DTS selected under Audio Output Settings and Bitstream under BD/DVD settings. I have tried different optical cables and this is the second PS3 I have had the same problem on.
I have a 4802 and was having playback issues with ps3 audio would go out during movie playback both blue ray an dvd erradically it would loose the input signal. Under audio set up in ps3 i turned off the dts output and that fixed the problem. i am using an fiber optic audio cable.
It seems the Denon and PS3 don't play nice together on DTS. If you take off the DTS setting, then the PS3 will use DD and you'll get surround for games and movies.

I can't get any sound from my PS3's optical output. I've tried changing settings and different cables like yourself but no joy. I might take it back to the shop. My equipment works fine connected to other components. I've e-mailed Sony but got no reply as yet!
I found that I could reboot the PS3 by holding down the Power On key for a few seconds until the system beeps twice. That seemed to fix the problem (I have been able to use Optical Audio out) and I have had no trouble since
