I just purchased a PS3 last night. Hooked it up with only two problems. I bought the Sopranos Blu-Ray and played the first episode. First and foremost, the 5.1 sound does not work, only in 2-channel. Also, half an hour into the episode, the movie froze and I couldn't do anything to unfreeze it except restart the PS3. Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
My 5.1 workes perfectly, thats something on your end. As far as the freezing, I had that happen to me 1 time, dont know what was the cause but hasnt done it again
First off, let me agree with the earlier post that the 5.1 issue is all on your end. There are various reasons that this could not be working. Check the playback settings for the movie first.
I have had one Blu-Ray freeze but I couldn't tell you which disc it was. I can tell you that i have had no issues since.
If I remember correctly, one thing to look for in the movie audio settings is if you're using the "uncompressed" PCM audio or just dolby digital 5.1. I realized last week that if you don't have the proper stereo receiver that you won't get full surround with the uncompressed. Stick with the Dolby or the DTS.

This guy is right. Unless you are using a HDMI receiver that accepts HDMI switching, you will not be able to use PCM. If you are using optical, change the ps3 audio settings to bitstream and select dolby 5.1 on the disc. If you select PCM when using optical, I believe it reverts to 2 channel audio because thats all the bandwidth optical can handle on PCM.
