Sorry if this is the wrong forum, and excuse my lack of knowledge.

I have a PS3 coming on Nov. 17th, and would like to connect this to a surroundsound receiver and Sony 60A2000 1080p HDTV using HDMI connections only.

My assumption is that I need to have a receiver with HDMI and 1080p capability in order to do this. I could connect the PS3 directly to the Sony 60A2000 with HDMI but then I'd have a problem of not having audio through the surroundsound speakers?

Or could I connect PS3 directly to the HDTV using HDMI, and then connect a seperate fiberoptic audio to the surroundsound receiver from the PS3?

Going for highest quality AV, I'd think that having an HDMI 1080p receiver...and then connecting PS3 to receiver, then receiver to HDTV using ALL HDMI would be the best option.

Thoughts?

I've got the 60A2000 too. It will only output two channel digital audio that comes in from the HDMI inputs. So if you run the audio from t.v. to reciever you will only have what is basically PCM audio going to the reciever and not the full spectrum of digital audio. What I've done is run the HDMI to the t.v., and the digital optical audio from the player to the reciever, which is where I want it to go anyway. Of course with the t.v. speakers off the HDMI audio out is a moot point. If you've got HDMI switching on your reciever you should check if the reciever decodes the audio from two channel digital (HDMI).

i would go with the hdmi directly into the tv and run the fiber optic in you're receiver.don't know about you're living arrangement but its nice late at night sometimes to have just the sound coming from the tv.
