Problem with DTS or Dolby Digital ouput - Need Help

[Doc Brown]

I have a PS3 attached via HDMI to an Onkyo 606. For some reason I cannot get any DTS or Dolby Dig output, only linear 5.1 PCM.

The PS3 is set up so that it outputs DTS and DD. I have selected DTS on the DVD menu.

When I force the 606 to output DTS, it says that there is no DTS input an no sound is generated.

Anybody got any ideas? They would be very appreciated!

Have you got the PS3 output set to Bitstream (under BD / DVD Settings > BD / DVD Audio Output Format (HDMI)? This needs to be set to Bitstream to output normal Dolby Digital / DTS 5.1 for decoding by the amp. If you're watching a Blu-Ray and want one of the hi-def audio formats, then this should be set to Linear PCM so the formats are decoded internally and sent as LPCM to the amp - you have to manually change it between each one unfortunately.
