Hooking my PS3 up to my sound system

A tech question for everyone:

I've got a 5.1 surround sound system, a receiver for the sound system, and an hdtv. Planning to get the 40GB PStriple when it comes out.

If I use an HDMI cable to connect the PS3 to my TV, what do I use to connect my TV to my receiver?

I am using an optical cable. You can also hook up coax cables directly into your sound system. Just when you do go to your audio settings and choose what type of cable you are using for soundKhimarhi

man when i went downstairs to hook this up with the plasma and the surround sound system....omg, playing games have never felt oh so much better than this!

I'm assuming your receiver doesn't have a HDMI slot on it, so optical is your best bet from your ps3 to your receiver.

I see a "coaxial out" plug-in slot but no "optical in" or "coaxial in" slot. Is that a problem?

My 360 is outputting sound right now through the red and white "audio in" slots.

just put the yellow cable into the TV and the red and white into your amp/dvd player from your surround sound its that simpleLaszkiewicz
