I placed it on BD, But I really dont think it matters.. And no i didnt find any issue hooking my ps3 to this system. I actually enjoy it very much and the sound is great. just remember to set your sound setting on the ps3 to HDMI-LCPM and your ss360 to AFD STD..

I think that you should use the settings on the PS3 for HDMI and it states to switch it to PCM Linear in the SS360 manual. Am I correct here? I also set the surround mode to PLII MV or the DCS setting.Is there a better way to set this for surround? Not sure?

I found this thread that tells you a way to optimize your PS3 settings for Blu Ray movies if it might help anyone.http://gear.ign.com/articles/938/938051p1.html

How do you connect a iPod to the SS360? How does a DMport work? Does it power the ipod? Many thanks.

Thanks for your help, I just replaced the Monster Cable that didn't work with this unit (it was working ok when i had my ps3 connected to the tv),I don't know whats the problem with the cable but after replacing it with the cable provided by Directv, the system is working perfect

I would like to know as well what the best setting on my PS3 for blu ray and gaming so that i don't have to change it every time/ever? but will still output the best quality possible.

When you are getting TrueHD or DTS-HD audio, are any lights supposed to come on the receiver to signify that the stream is being picked up, or should you just assume its working if it is set to Linear PCM?

This goes for both J. Reed, and Marc, for this particular model, the HT-SS360, yes, you will have to go into your PS3's BD/DVD options, and switch it to LCPM, and back to Bitstream I believe if you're going to watch a Blu-Ray, or DVD. (At least from my own experience I had to switch back to Bitstream) As in for audio output options, auto should work fine, considering that the HT-SS360 automatically chooses the best output signal, but I found it best to check mark everything up until the 2.1 options, and through that, I was able to get the PS3 to output audio through DTS.

when setting the PS3 to LCPM, do you change it manually, then uncheck every sound option except LCPM 5.1? Or is it okay to select "auto", which checkmarks everything, including LCPM? I don't know anything about this. If I only checkmark LCPM 5.1 will I be missing out on the best auido options for some Blu-rays, or is this a "end-all" option that will always give me the best sound regardless of what disc i am playing?SIDE NOTE: What levels do you guys use? My setup is in a normal-sized bedroom, and i must say the sub kind of drowns out everything except the dialog coming from the center speaker. What levels per speaker/sub do you guys prefer? when setting the PS3 to LCPM, do you change it manually, then uncheck every sound option except LCPM 5.1?

I have not noticed any issues while using the PS3. Since the 71 and the PS3 have HDMI 1.3a, take advantage of monoprice's HDMI 1.3a prices. The bluray picture pops and even has a 3D effect.

HI Missy, sorry it took so long to get back to you. The PS3 Has an HDMI output so you should be able to connect to your display via HDMI.Hope that Helps, and enjoy your home theater system!

no, just don't use the bitstream output from the ps3, use linear pcm and you'll get dts-hd and dolby truehd from the receiver, the ps3 will decode the audio just fine.

If you really want to get the most out of your PS3 (which by the way is an incredible machine), I'd recommend getting both an HDMI Home Theatre System and a 1080p TV. Regardless of what some people say, HDMI is the best way to get true HD image AND sound. Even so, if the Panasonic system has a good sound and an optical input, you could use the HDMI cable to send the video from the PS3 to the TV and an optical cable to send the audio from the PS3 to the speaker system, just remember to change the PS3 "Audio output" settings.

I never realy used this cable on my PS3. This cable is good for audio I bought it to use on equipment I have in my home studio. For PS3 I would sujest you the HDMI cable but if you have Rock smith you should use Component cable with RCA to avoid delays.

Probably ONE of the STUPIDEST questions I've ever heard! Out of HUNDREDS of receivers on the market what could possibly make you think that ONE of them is the best via the PS3? This is a very nice receiver and works quite well with the PS3.

I haven't hooked up my PC or laptop to it, but I have my PS3 connected to it. Without knowing all the technical jargon, in my opinion, I think it works great and the picture quality is great! I usually use my PS3 for Madden and Black Ops 2, and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

Yeah, I ended up buying component cables for my consoles. The only problem is the game cube is now B&W; since I plugged it's video cable in the first component input. Not an issue, I can use the Wii to play them if needed...Thanks for the reply!

Hey man, I purchased the Sony HT SS2300 and it sounds really good. I have the blue TOC version of the 850. The system doesn't have a DVD or blu ray player but it is made to match up with your current movie player. I have a PS3 so it worked out well. Good system at a good price.

I bought this so long ago so take my advice with a grain of salt. My TV has a toslink out and my PS3 is connected via HDMI to my HDTV. My tv is connected from toslink to this device then to my phillips home theater system. Hope that helps.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

Yeah you can hook your game up.I have my Ps3 hook up but the only downside is that I had to use componet in stead of hdmi.Its sounds real good.

To answer my own question - I purchased a media bridge HDMI Cable off Amazon & it worked just fine. Now with that being said, I actually never needed to buy this cable. The H FS100 is a flash drive - I purchased a Transcend card w/ a USB Reader & if you have a DVD or Blu Ray Player w/ USB slots - your good to go. FYI - I was going to purchase a Blu Ray player, but it was better to go w/ a Sony PS3. Not only is it a Blu Ray Player, but it has 2 USB Slots, plays video games & you can surf the Web with it. Hopes this help someone else!

Thank you for posting, of course. But I don't put a whole lot of stock in that transcript. Since the PS3 has Netflix Streaming using the BD-Live technology provided also on the S560, I tried using the PS3 Instant Streaming disc. It *almost* worked. Apparently, the S560 does not have a date/time setting, which is required by the Netflix DRM algorithm. After much testing, I believe that is the only stumbling block to getting Netflix Streaming to work on the S560.So, yes, the S560 as is does not support Netflix Streaming, but those of you who think it can't, may not realize how easy it would be to make it so.

You'll need to use the PS3 AV Cable. Plug that into the back of the PS3 and then plug the red and white cables (audio) into the red and white cables for the headset. That's how I have mine connected and seems to work fine. By the way, don't forget to change your audio input/output settings on your PS3 once this is done. If you don't, you'll still get all audio going out via the HDMI.
