This will work for consoles. Several people I game with on XBL use it.

Blah blah blah, I just looked for the cheapest HTIB i could find that could output LPCM Audio, and this was it. You can quit your crying or you can simply point out a better speaker/receiver combination for the money.

"Blah blah blah"? "Crying"? Nice.

IMO the returns on HD audio with such cheap speakers are so minimal anyway that personally, I think it's pointless to even worry about lossless audio in a bare-bones budget system where there's so much coloration and distortion by cheap speakers anyway. My initial point was only to point out a fundamental flaw in the logic that your processor, whether it's in the electronics of a HTiB, an AVR, or a part of true separates, need not decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA - just accept the PCM - to be fully optimized for lossless audio. This may or may not open up more options. I don't care to go do the research for anybody, frankly. But in terms of anyone reading a post on this forum looking for information, it is more correct.

Onkyo HT-S6100

It decodes TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio.

Don't sell yourself short of what your PS3 is capable of.

In that case wouldn't you just get an HDMI receiver that can handle LPCM instead of one that can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA?

(the PS3 decodes both codecs)

sure but he wanted speakers too. not just a receiver.

OK, but my point was that using TrueHD and DTS-HD MA decoding in a receiver as a selling point for taking full advantage of the PS3 isn't fully accurate or appropriate when instead all that is necessary is ability to handle the decoded PCM from the PS3, which may allow more leeway in choosing another product that is otherwise comparable.

Furthermore, in the strictest sense, if you don't want to sell the capabilities of the PS3 short, then you'd want it to do the decoding anyway (although in a more practical sense it doesn't matter what does the decoding as lossless audio is... lossless).

If your sticking point was only that I used the word 'receiver', well, then substitute 'HTiB'. The electronic part of the HTiB is still just an integrated audio/video receiver (although probably not as good as one you could buy separately). It just comes bundled with speakers, probably cables, and maybe has some non-standard connectors so you can't swap in other brands of gear.

You have your TV connected to the receiver with component cables. I'm guessing it doesn't have HDMI or you'd be using it.

Your problem is that the receiver is getting a digital signal from the PS3 and it needs to send out an analog one to the TV. Some receivers can do this and some can't. I don't know if yours can. Go into the setup menu and look under "video" and/or "HDMI" to see if it says anything about digital to analog conversion of video signals. If your receiver isn't able to do it, you may need to connect your PS3 differently.

Sorry, no help here but I'm in the same boat. I have a Bose 3 2 1 Advanced that is starting to go out on me. I want one that will be running a 360, PS3 and DLP TV. The Bose lifestyle is out of price range right now, so anyone know of one similar to the 3 2 1? On your's I'd for with the Pioneer. btaylor2404

Read that. It doesn't take much to beat or equal a Bose system.

Yes, unless you're running a long cable of 50+ feet. Then buy a 22AWG (it's a thicker gauge) to make sure it's adequate.

Yes, it will handle the LPCM for you according to the product info page you linked to.

Yes, you're paying for the Monster name... and their litigation department. See http://www.bluejeanscable.com/legal/mcp/index.htm to learn more.

Unless you're doing a 50-foot run or more, you don't need an expensive cable. You don't even need to pay as much as that Philips cable.

Check monoprice.com or bluejeanscable.com - they are reputable so don't be concerned about ordering from either.
