How to Break Out the PS3 for Surround Sound

If you want to break out the surround sound capabilities of your PlayStation 3, you'll have to do more than just hook up a few wires. You will have to enter the PlayStation 3's settings menu and make a few adjustments to the way the console both processes and puts out sound. Only then can you create an immersing multimedia experience in your living room.

      Connect your audio cable between your PlayStation 3 and surround sound receiver. The PlayStation 3 accepts the included audio/video cable (2.0 channels of sound), a digital optical audio cable (5.1 channels) or an HDMI cable (7.1 channels). Plug the cable into the output port on the rear of the PS3 console and the input port of your stereo receiver.
