Surround Sound with PS3?

PS3 and Panasonic SA-BT230 surround sound help needed?

• I have been using this duo for about a year now and all of a sudden **** went crazy. They do not seem compatible anymore, I can get sound through my TV via HDMI when using my PS3 and I can play Blu-rays through the Panasonic and get the surround sound but I cannot get surround sound through My PS3. I have tried unhooking and even replacing my Optic cable. Can someone please help? I know its not that big of a deal if I can still get sound through my TV but I would prefer playing my blu-rays through my PS3 (internet) and I would love playing my games through Surround sound. Any ideas will help, Like I said I have been using that duo for about a year so you can be specific if you know a problem. And because I know this will be brought up, Yes, I tried changing my PS3's audio to Optic and messed with the settings a bit and yes I have tried switching the cable from digital output 1 and 2.

• Answer:

  if your optical cable/av from your ps3 is connected directly to the home theatre then each time you use the ps3 you must enter the panasonic home menu and change the outut to digital audio in rather than ARC.
