I hooked up the speakers went through the motions on the remote and nothing. I know im missing something here. I have the PS3 optical going into the bottom optical/digital input. Don't know what else to do.
It's not wrong, but sometimes the receiver assumes you're coming in as HDMI, so you have to go in and tell it you're using a different input. Although on other receivers there's just a button (remote and/or receiver) that says 'Optical' (sometimes it's a button that says 'Input' and rotates through the ports).
