What Amp/Receiver are you using?

EDIT -Sorry I see you have that in the Title!

EDIT 2 - Wow that looks like a nice piece of kit and obviously does HD, Are there any PS3 setup options that need changing?

If I understand it correctly, your PS3 is decoding the HD audio and simply passing it to your amp as PCM, so your amp doesnt need to decode it. You are hearing trueHD, but as you receiver isnt decoding it, no light will be lit.

someone will correct me if Im wrong!

The PS3 can't send True HD over the HDMI.
You need to select PCM (on the PS3) - it will then decode the track and send it to your amp as multichannel PCM.

Hope this helps (don't worry you will still get the full sound quality just the PS3 will do the decoding not the amp).

hi denalt i have changed all settings to linear pcm on ps3 but on the amp display i am still not getting dolby true hd on the display in writing im just getting pcm in writing and it doesnt sound any differant so im sure its not true hd being played any help greatly appreciated thanks
 
Are you using the optical out on the PS3? or are you just using HDMI?

afaik, you cannot send trueHD over optical. Just an idea.

and just to reiterate, as your PS3 is decoding the track, you probably WONT get a trueHD light on your amp, just a PCM light.

It won't say it on the amp's display. If you press the Display button on the PS3 remote, it will tell you what audio output you are hearing but rest assured if you've selected the Dolby True HD soundtrack in the menu and you have the PS3 setup as per the sticky in the Onkyo forum (HDMI and LPCM), you are hearing HD audio.

PS. Watch the movie and forget about the amp's display! :D

or if you dont use a PS3 remote......press "select" on PS3 controller.
top right hand corner of your telly screen should tell you what you are sending to receiver.
 
where is this onkyo thread you are oon about so i can check my settings cause the sound to me is [EDIT: Removed by Moderator, due to Forum Rule 2 infringement] , it sounds better in just normal digital mode for sound which surrely shouldnt be right even in dolby dts hd sounds crap
