Help setting up stereo for PS3 w/ HDMI

Hey guys. So at the end of the month I'm buying a PS3 w/ my birthday money. I was looking at my HDTV and it has an HDMI Port in the back of it and next to it it has either input or output for red and white cables. What I'm asking is if those cables are inputs, can i use the HDMI Cable in my PS3, and then plug in the standard cables into the other input and then into the Red and White input/output.

If it turns out it is not an output, can I do the double cables in the ps3?

If it turns out it is not an output, can I do the double cables in the ps3?

Just one note - you have to go in under audio settings in the PS3 and tell it that you are doing video through HDMI, but sound through optical / composite. Then you MAY also have to test different sound options depending on what your receiver can receive.

It is not complicated and it works fine- I am running an optical to the receiver, but had to change some small setting to get the sound working right frequenzy or something
