Update: Tried my Hd-a2 and transformers and the receiver picked up mutli channel pcm 5.1 and worked just fine it seemed. So, maybe my PS3 is defective sending the audio formats. However, the problem still exists where I get very very low audio from all the analog inputs. So the receiver still...

Well, knowing that Casin Royale provides both English: PCM 5.1 (48kHz, 16bit) or English: Dolby Digital 5.1, forcing it to pcm should be ok. Not that I can anyway. With PCM selected on the PS3 it detects dobly digital most of the time. Shouldn't it only detect Dolby digital when the PS3 is set...

I tried to find a way to force it pcm but no luck. It just automatically picks up the format. Sometimes it will say pcm. Sometimes it will show the DD symbol. I tried just an analog source over the cable/tv input (RCA's) and found that I could barely hear the signal over the speakers on max...

How i have things set up. On the Onkyo I assigned Game/TV to Hdmi input2. I have the Ps3's hdmi therefore attached to the Game/TV input(hdmi input 2). I have the Ps3 outputting PCM over hdmi (no video since that has to be over component). When i play the movie (Casino Royal), it shows on the...

Jeff you were right. It was just a matter of putting the two speakers on the (side surruonds). It Auto setup just fine after that. Tim

I am trying the auto speaker setup and getting a "retry" message every time it tests the (Right back) surround speaker. No explanation i can find as to what could be the problem in the book. I don't know if it would be an issue but i don't have any left or right surround speakers. If I only have...

So what is the current version supposed to be before 2.0? Since i just picked up the 40gb ps3 and would like to know where i should be. Tim

Ok thanks Lyle. Guess i should have read more then the thread title. My bad. That is good news. Cheers, Tim A2 PS3

Chris, I saw the question regarding "Composite" and Hdmi video sources at the same time. My question is different. I want "component" video and hdmi "audio" at the same time. Tim

I ordered a ps3 for blu-ray. I have to use the component adapter to get the video to my 1080i projector. I was wondering to get surround sound, is it possible to use hdmi if i run it to my receiver while using component for my video? It is something that I over looked when ordering the PS3. That...

Thanks for the reply Jeff. Having a just old enough projector without hdmi kind of complicates things. Glad to know that I can do this though. Time to pin down a reciever then. Tim

Even though i'm not using the a2's hdmi for the video signal, can I use the a2's hdmi on a compatable surround receiver for the audio while using the a2's components for my projector? If not, then my only option for digital surround would have to be the optical out on the hd-a2 I assume. Can...

I decided to separate fact from fiction and ordered an A2 which arrived today. I fired it up and played King Kong. It was outstanding. The sharper detailed image in 1080i is a substantial improvement over my projector's ability to upres standard DVDs from my old Toshiba sd-1600 dvd player on a...

If that is the case then i'd at least get some sort of seperation of channels by my reciever via dolby pro logic based on what you're saying here. That would tide me over until I upgrade my reciever. If that is the case then there is no sense in buying a x-a2. An A2 which is cheaper could do the...

Well here is one article that says so. There are a number of other sites repeating the same thing. http://hddvd.highdefdigest.com/news/show/Toshiba/High-Def_Disc_Marketing/Hardware/Toshiba_Sets_New_Low_with_$400_HD_DVD_Player_Prici ng/534
