How to Hook Up Surround Sound on the PS3 to a Yahama HTR6130

The Yamaha HTR6130 is a home theater receiver positioned at the value end of the company's selection. High definition multimedia interface (HDMI) enabled, the HTR6130 is ideal for the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3's support for high definition audio and video means that HDMI connectivity is near-mandatory. The combination of the Yamaha HTR6130 and the Sony PlayStation 3 is therefore a compatible match, maximizing audio and passing HD video to a compatible display.
