Hi guys
I have searched hi and low for online help and I'm turning here. I just got the PS3 a week ago and I am having trouble getting the optical connection to my Arcam AVR200 to work.
My basic setup is HDMI cable from PS3 direct to HDTV set. Picture and sound work like a charm.
The Arcam does not accept HDMI so I plugged in the Optical. I have set the PS3 to Optical Audio and checked all the 5.1 settings, but no sound...not even 2 channel sound. This is regardless of format...ie not specific to games or movies. My fear is that the receiver is too old, but I am not aware of optical connections having changed over the years. This is also the first time I have tried an optical (Toslink) cable so perhaps I am unaware. Is there a setting in the Arcam setup? I do believe these sort of things are usually automatic.
Please Help
