Hi All,
I wondered If I could pick your brains
I have very recently brought a Phillips HTL3120/12 sound bar, but can't get sound from the optical cable.
My set up is
Sound bar to tv via HDMI
Sky HD to sound bar via HDMI
Playstation 3 to sound bar via HDMI and Optical.
I have gone into the sound settings on the playstation and changed it to optical rather than HDMI but when I play anything, I get pictures but no sound!..
The my TV is a old samsung with one HDMI slot!..
Thanks
Matt

Looking at your manual, it seems you have to manually switch through different outputs using the remote so you cant have both optical and HDMI outputting at the same time. You would either have no sound, or no picture
Try
HDMI IN 1 - Sky
HDMI IN 2 - PS3
HDMI Out - TV
And switch back to HDMI sound on the PS3
TV in HDMI Out
PS3 in HDMI 1
SKY in HDMI 2
Will I still be able to get surround sound via HDMI??.. Also now when I turn the playstation on while I am on the home screen the tv keeps flicking off and on!!
Strange!!
Might be worth recalibrating both the video and sound settings again on the PS3
Unfortunately it does not say weather it is 2.1 or 5.1..
On the remote there is a surround sound button in which I have chose this and put it into surr mode!.. Assume this is 5.1 surround sound!..
Will have to double check the ps3.. It's never happened before!!
