Hi,
I've currently got the following set up
Panasonic 37LZD85 TV
Panasonic SC-PT860 Cinema Kit
SKY HD
I've got them all connected via HDMI but the the sound is connected via an optical from SKY HD box to the cinema kit. Everything fine until my wife bought me a PS3.
So I connected the PS3 to TV via HDMI and sound to cinema kit via Optical....... but problem as CK only has 1 input. So I bought a Optical switch from Maplins which appeared to work okish (Odd crackling from PS3) for a few days then nothing. Sound is fine if you plug PS3 directly into CK but not via the switch.
Anyway swapped cables etc etc and it turns out to be the switch, I presume the PS3 link has to be 100% spot on as the TV sound works fine through switch. So today I thought, its not ideal, but I'll buy a splitter, anyway tried that and turn the PS3 on nothing!!! Switch SKY on and there is sound. So both a splitter and switch don't work for the PS3 but reading the reviews I see of both they work for other people. Anyone got any idea's as I don't want to have to keep pulling Optical cables out when I want to play the PS3..... Is my PS3 faulty?? I've changed sound settings on PS3 but still the same outcome. TIA
