I don't get it. The ps3 will also support 5.1 sound (as well as 7.1 - but you will not find 7.1 on many DVD).

Explain your setup and what you want to accomplish a little better andwe may be able to help you.

Since he says his DVD player has 5.1 surround, it sounds like he has a integrated DVD/receiver home theater system. If that is the case you would connect the optical output on the PS3 to the optical input on the DVD/receiver. Hopefully it has an optical input. I would imagine that many of them don't as they are not true A/V receivers.

if you don't have a reciever that can output 5.1 then u cant... if the dvd player is stand-alone it would be optical out meaning it would need a reciever.. same as the ps3 the optical input is for out only
