Re: HD Surround Sound

I just got a PS3 and I will probably just use the optical connection to play Blu-Ray movies, though it will not be HD sound.

Really no amps can play HD at the moment as the 1.3 HDMI cable has only ust come out, unless it cost £1000 and has a built in decoder.

Sky HD is not high definition sound but 5.1 dolby digital. Though the PS3 sound will be down-mixed to dolby digital 5.1 too through the optical connection.

So I am in the same boat as you.

You can use a digital coaxial cable for HD sound but due to the bandwidth it will only be able to carry the left and right speakers.
