how do you connect the ps3 to a dvd surround system?
Just bought a ps3, we want to connect it to our JVC dvd surround player, we have it connected via the hdmi connector, this works fine, there is another cable which came with the ps3, connectors are: 1 red connector, 1 white connector & 1 yellow connector which i know i don't need to use, i thought i just need to connect just the red & white connector to the back of the surround system :AUX:, tryed all that but no sound, do i need a special lead?, many thx

when you say that you have it connected with the hdmi cable, i presume this is to you tv.
I have mine linked with an HDMI cable to the tv, but the audio is via optical cable to my sony surround system.
the red white and yellow connectors are usually for connecting to your tv if you don't have the option of a scart lead or hdmi cable.
you need to go into settings on the ps3 and into the sound output, change this to what you are using to connect to your surround sound system and then you should be in business.
If you connected to the system using aux cable (red & white) you would only get stereo sound and not surround sound. you have to use an HDMI, Optical or Coaxial cable to get 5.1 surround sound.
Good luck
