audio problem with receiver

My dad bought a Denon AVR-2310CI receiver so that he could use my ps3 to watch bluray movies via hdmi and get the full sound he wants while eliminating the use for an optical cable. The ps3 is connected to the reciever by a hdmi cable, and the reciever is connected to a fairly old sony lcd tv using a hdmi cable and hdmi adaptor ( the tv didn't have hdmi inputs, only dvi, so it has a dvi hdmi adaptor).

Our problem is that when we go to the ps3's audio settings, we choose hdmi, then manual, then we get a message saying "This hdmi device cannot be used for audio output." The receiver seems to be set up right, as it gets sound when watching normal channels on tv. Can anybody help with this problem?

Your receiver's HDMI video inputs only support HDMI 1.1. It's only a guess, but you may want to try a different audio format. Enable stereo sound only and work your way up from there. It could be a setting on the receiver as well.

its possible when u convert an hdmi signal to dvi it only works for video because dvi input is only good for video and not audio

u prob have to connect an optical cable from ps3 to receiver to get sound

You may want to talk to the guys in the audio/video forum. They may know more about this particular receiver and your problem in general.

What happens when you try "automatic" rather than "manual?"

Once in a while when I set things up for other people, I run into a problem where the receiver is set up incorrectly and programmed to do a audio passthrough to the TV. The PS3 then is basing its signal of TV rather than the recevier.
