PS3 wont connect to my home cinema system!!!!!

[generallevi]

Wondering if anyone can help me. I have my LG Scarlet 6100 tele connected via HDMI TO MY PS3. I have my sky box connected by Scart to my tele, my wii conected by component cable to my tele and my LG home cinema connected by scart to my tele.

My problem is that I have no surround sound when using the ps3.

I have it for the Wii, and for the sky but not for the ps3.

Its driving me mad, especially as the DVD player i got rid off for the ps3 worked with the surround sound via the same HDMI cable that I am now using on the ps3

So sorry for this monster post but I hope someone can help.

P.s I have no optical out on my Lg home cinema or HDMI but it did please remember it did work on my old dvd player.

All the best,

Lee

What inputs do you have on the back of your home cinema system, I think you need a connection for sound between the PS3 and the surround sound system. You've said it doesn't allow HDMI or optical - has it got red and white sockets for audio inputs? if you post the model of the surround sound system then you may get better advice?

Yes it did! I will go and get it. But are you saying I should hook the ps3 up using HDMI and the audio cable but just use the red and white bits and leave the other color hanging?

Yes - the yellow is for the video signal if you have an old TV, so ignore it. You might need to fiddle with the audio settings in the PS3 settings menu to get the sound from these cables.
