PS3 to Receiver Audio Connection

[stimpson]

I have my PS3 connected to my Onkyo 705 via HDMI. I have the audio out on the PS3 set to Linear PCM. (Per the 705 forum at The Official Onkyo TX-SR705 Thread (FAQ in 1st Post) - AVS Forum) Just curious how you other PS3 owners have yours connected and configured.

Same as you.

I have been doing a lot of reading tonight on the two settings. Seems like for the time being, PCM is the way to go. I just need to remember to select the uncompressed track on the Blue Ray disk. It's just like when you told me a while back to select the True HD track on my HD movies. Both will always defaut to the DD track on start up.

I have my ps3 which I just got hooked up to my reciever via optical but setting to pcm via the xmb yields 2 chan whereas bitstream gets 5.1 but with a notice about some loss of sound?

I've got my system hooked up via HDMI to my TV and optical to my reciever. Setting on the PS3 is PCM and I seem to be getting proper DD5.1 surround (unlike above)...weird.
