So yeah the topic says it all. I have a Element FLX-2210 HD LCD TV with composite,1 HDMI input. and your other basic stuff. My receiver is a Samsung HT-X50 Home Theatre system. It too has a HDMI output and a Optical output which everyone is gonna say use but i don't have the cable at the moment and i cant get one til Friday so I'm looking to still do surround sound with the best video quality for now if I can. Right now I have the HDMI cable from the PS3 too the TV and the composite red and white cables from the ps3 too the Receiver. What are my other options too get surround sound or at-least more then 3 speakers working without the optical cable?

Thanks guys,

Mike

Friday's not that far away, really. I doubt that you're going to get full surround sound the way you have it hooked up.

Hey Mike,

I know you need assistance with your Media connection but this topic will be well recieved in the Audio/Video Hardware Discussion Forums.

Thank you,

Your gonna have to wait for the cable:| You won't be able to get surround sound with the RCA cables since its a digital signal. It'll only work with an optical, coaxial, or HDMI cable.

Wait for the cable. The HDMI(PS3) --> Reciever ---(1)---> HDMI(TV) ---(2)----> Optical / Speaker Wires (Your sweet surround sound) will have you crooning for even more speakers and proper sound baffling. And eventually, your friends won't be able to get you to leave the room - your ps3 will wind up becoming your main media center!
