PS3 + STR-DE885/985 + Blu-ray = audio dropout with dolby digital
No your not going crazy
when using the optical connection from the PS3 to the STR-DE885/985 while watching blu-ray movies, DO NOT USE DOLBY DIGITAL! The reciever can not process a 640kbps feed.

The audio drops out when playing a Blu-ray Disc® movie using a digital (optical or coaxial) connection for sound.
Solution:
This Audio/Video (A/V) receiver was manufactured prior to the introduction of Blu-ray Disc® (BD) technology. The digital (optical and coaxial) connection does not support the Dolby® Digital signal from a BD movie; this symptom is not a malfunction. Alternatively, an analog connection should be used to connect your BD player to the A/V receiver in order to hear the sound.
NOTE: There are no plans at this time to update the A/V receiver to support the Dolby Digital signal from BD movies.

My personal solution:
From PS3 Settings menu
Sound settings -> Audio Output Settings ->
Digital Out (Optical) ->
no check for Dolby Digital 5.1
check for DTS 5.1
The STR-DE885/985 CAN NOT process optical bit-stream:
Dolby Digital @640 Kbps (AKA: Blu-Ray Out put)
The STR-DE885/985 CAN process optical bit-streams:
Dolby Digital @480 Kbps
DTS @1.5 Mbps
Rather strange that the Reciever can handle 1500Kbps of information but can't handle 640Kbps.
DC
But otherwise, fine.
). How much do they charge for PSP movie downloads anyway?
