But my tv is HD, currently my ps3 is conected to my tv throu a HDMI to DVI cable and its at 1080i but i dont have any sound is there any way i can get 5.1 or 7.1 surrond sound with out have wires going from my ps3 to my AV?

cant any body help me, is there such thing as a wireless optical audio Transmitter and receiver ?

In order to have 5.1 or 7.1 you will need a digital connection, and therefore you will need to connect via SPDif Optical.

You can buy a long optical cable and give that a try.

If you tried wirelessly sending audio you would need a video transimitter that excepts phono near your ps3 and the reciever near your amp. But this will only give you stereo or dolby prologic and not proper 5.1 or 7.1


but......

There is a possible work around to get wireless 5.1 / 7.1

If you got an spdif optical to coaxial coovertor you could change optical to a phono connector, then use the wireless receiver to transmit this signal and then connect the reciever to amp and then to the coaxial input rather than phono and this 'may' work and give you proper 5.1 / 7.1 to your amp.

its horrible having a long cable running across your room.

True, but sometimes its a necessary evil.

won't the wireless signal degrade the quality of the sound? My friend has a pair of wireless speakers for some stereo he has and they sound like tin cans...

i guess its the price to pay for 1080p and 7.1 surround sound do you have a ps3 if yes hows your setup?

yes is the simple answer

Mine is hooked up by spdif optical to a 5.1 Dolby Digital / DTS amp and to HDTV via HDMI, and when I want to use my projector via component HD, but mostly via hdmi. It's a pain that the ps3 wont output sound via both AV & Spdif at the same time.
