I've connected the optical cable from my DVD player to the PS3. My HDMI Cable is going from the PS3 to the TV.

How do I insert the component cables from the DVD PLayer and at what tv setting? HDMI which the PS3 uses or the one I use to watch DVD's on? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to take out the HDMI cable and use the component cables only?

Thanks, I hope I'm making sense.

Beats me but I'm sure you can find tutorials written on google and visual on youtube or any other video site.

conponent cables dont support surround sound (why 360 had crap sound befor hdmi) unless its 2.1 channel with 5 speakers hook the optical cable from you ps3 to HDTV if you dont have an HDTV, thats your problem, becuase thats WAYY mo impostant then sound

optical cable from ps3 to HDTV (it should have one) then go to ps3 settings set sound as optical 5.1 channel,it will ask other questions that i dont know, but you should be able to figure it out

really, i dont have surrond sound, i WANT surround sound, but im not sure if its worth it with ps3, please tell me if it is!!!! (i heard it rocks!!!)

Thanks....this really helped. Works now. Thanks a lot. Seems worth it to me. Especially since I can watch Blu Rays in 5.1 now. Thanks again. Although I did connect the PS3 to the DVD PLayer instead of the TV.
