How to Hook Up a Surround System to Your PS3

Surround sound speaker systems are one of the best ways to get optimal sound in a room, and immerse yourself in the environment experienced on a TV. When connected to a video gaming console such as a PlayStation 3, the resulting experience is phenomenal when playing video games or watching movies on its blue-ray DVD system. The PS3 is well configured to handle any surround sound system.
