I just ordered an HDTV (Toshiba Regza, if that matters), which is the first I've ever purchased. Our current TV is just a Panasonic CRT of some sort. It was great 12 years ago (when we bought it), but not as much now. Anyway, I've also purchased a PS3 (and own a 360), but our receiver (Yamaha RX V800) only supports Component (the Red/Green/Blue, etc cables) and Optical Audio, but not HDMI. The TV obviously supports HDMI, as well as the PS3, if I purchase the aftermarket cable. Now, the question is just this:

If I want to take advantage of the HDMI abilities of the TV/PS3, how would I go about connecting it. Just patch the HDMI cable from the PS3 to the TV, and just have audio re-routed through the receiver? Is there a specific way to go about this, or will component be perfectly fine?

connect ps3 directly to TV with HDMI, and then connect the optical on the ps3 to your receiver.

Awesome. I guess it would have been more helpful if everything was here and I could look at the back panels, but I figured I'd ask in advance.

Thank you.
