PS3 Surround help

[oska]

Ok, a bit of a confusing one. I bought a surround sound system last week and am having trouble with connecting everything up so it all runs through it.

Firstly I have a Virgin cable box with 2 x Scart. 1 running into the Surround/DVD amp thing, the other going to 1 input on the TV. My PS3 is connected by HDMI to the 1 HDMI input I have on the telly. I want to connect the PS3 so it runs through the surround but the lack of optical on the surround system buggers the easy route. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

hmmm, not sure you can do it tbh.

i got this one for use with my ps3, you should have got one without the dvd part really as it doesn't have all the sound inputs as they presume you play the dvd's through the system and thus wouldn't need them.

Yeah I guess I didn't look too far into it but I got it for £60 so couldn't hang around. I'm going to fiddle about with settings, aparently it can be done a long winded way so that may have to do. Just have to swap connections when I want to change which is no big deal tbh.

Ok, I just had another thought on this. Would it be possible to set up the PS3 so it outputs sound using the AV connection to my Home Theatre system and picture through HDMI to my TV?

Yes you can set the sound output independently of the picture.

Why the f**k didn't I think of this before?

You'll have surround sound but it won't be digital (i.e. 5.1) so you'll have stereo fronts mono rears

That's 10x better than an LCD TV speaker!
