Hi All
Happy New Year!!
As a treat I updated my Arcam AVR 200 to a Sony STR-2400ES as I don't have the money to go any higher at the moment and this amp seemed to be the best for the price. I used my AVR200 as a home cinema amp as well as playing my music through it and it did a cracking job with my Kef eggs but is now limited to what it can do and I suppose you have to move with the times - connectivity issues mainly...
I have connected everything up to my new amp - PS3, XBOX360, Plasma etc. and whilst I am trying to understand the mind boggling manual, I am having an issue with the PS3. I use my PS3 for virtually everything now - DVD, music, video, CDs, MP3, web etc. It's connected via an HDMI cable and I can get a picture but cannot get the usual sounds from the PS3 like the keytone or sounds whilst previewing a game in the menu - in fact there are no sounds whatsoever from the PS3 when in the menu system. If I start a game or a DVD then I get sound.
Also, if I play a CD or an MP3 via the PS3 I have to switch to "music" mode which sounds awful because you only seem to be able to get the horrible "set" sounds like Stadium, Hall and Jazz etc. - I don't want them! I just want to play music normally.
Can anyone give me a heads up on why this doesn't work? Am I being a complete idiot and missing something??
Any help is much appreciated!!
