Hello there,

I will soon be acquiring a PS3 (the wife finally gave in) and I have been looking into setting it up with my current HD ready tv and home theatre system.

Here's what I've got to work with -

LG HD ready tv: One HDMI socket, no digital optical socket.

Philips DVD Home Theatre System: One HDMI socket, again no digital optical socket.

Both of the above have the different coloured audio sockets. (Sorry I'm not sure what they're officially called!!)

I currently have an HDMI lead connecting the TV to the DVD player thus I get an upscaled picture and 5.1 surround sound when we watch movies, etc.

Looking at the above can anyone out there advise me on the best way to get the most out of the PS3 both with the picture and the sound? I know it's limited but any advise would be really appreciated.

So far Currys, Comet and Bennetts have been baffled by this which is worrying.

I'm looking forward to any suggestions any one may have.

Cheers all.
