How to Make Your PS3 Connect to a Kinetic KA-4260 Back Panel

The Kinetic KA-4260 5.1 surround sound home theater system comes with four satellite speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer. If you want to use this speaker system with your PlayStation 3 game console you must first connect it to a receiver and then connect the receiver to the PS3 system. Once connected, however, you must also select the correct audio device setting and the correct audio output format to make the PS3 system recognize the home theater system.
