How do I hook up my surround sound system to TV to PS3?

How do i hook up a sony theater system for surround sound to a dish hd box an hd tv and a ps3 to have surround?

  • the home theater only has one hdmi jack

  • Answer:

    HDMI is convenient (you only need one cable for audio and video), but unless you have the more demanding audio formats only available on Blu-ray (e.g. DTS-HD Master) there is no benefit over optical or coaxial digital (orange RCA connector). So simply use optical or coax from the source device to the home theater system and select the source you want using the input control. It won't matter if you have one source on HDMI and another on optical, etc.

buy an optical cable, running from the back of your ps3, to the back of your surround unit. just change it in the sound setting on your ps3 and ayway you go. you can get some cheap ones off ebay.

hook up all your sources to the HDTV (dish, ps3) to the television using HDMI if possible. use one optical cable from the HDTV back to the home theater receiver. that way you switch your sound with the HDTV and do not have to use the receiver remote too. use optical (toslink) for the audio connection if possible
