Hints

 When connecting a digital audio device to the system, go to

(Settings)

(Sound Settings) [Audio Output Settings], and then adjust the settings as

necessary for the audio device.

 For simultaneous audio output from multiple connectors, go to

(Settings)

(Sound Settings) [Audio Multi-Output], and set the option to [On].

 The system can output both audio and video through an HDMI cable. If both

the TV and the audio device have HDMI connectors, you can output the TV

picture to the TV through a connected audio device.

 If a device is connected to the PS3™ system via an HDMI cable, do not turn off

the device while the system is turned on (power indicator is lit solid green), as

doing so may cause sound distortion or produce abnormal sounds.
