PS3 & Sony MDR-DS4000

hi there,

would highly appreciate any advice for my following issue

my system is set up from a SHARP LC37X20 + PS3 + silver starlight HDMI + sky
I already ordered 5.1 Sony MDR-DS4000 (i know i supposed to get the pioneers, but dont like the design..) wireless heaphones and would like to hook it up but have the following questions:

1- what is the best way to connect? ps3 optical into headphone base station + RCA from tv for sky or straight optical from tv

2-the headpone base station has its own decoding....set the ps3's audio to LPCM or bitstream? i understand that ps3 decodes it itself and sends to output, would it better to bitstream and do the coding with the headphones base station....

3-is there a need to buy another high-end optical cable?? or is optical same as other optical



Thx a lot..

Re: PS3 & Sony MDR-DS4000

hi,

what makes me a bit confused as well and would need some light is, in case ps3 is connected through optical to headphone base station, 2x phono RCA from TV to base station and hdmi ps3 tv....
After finihing with the ps3 and start watching TV, will the output on base station automaticly switch to TV or am i completely wrong? is there a best way to set these system with an easy switching?? thanks for every single reply....

i feel a bit of company replying to mine messages myself but yeah...whatever....
If i connect only optical from tv to base station would that sort the previous message or am i going to lose some quality from the source ps3?
thx
