PS3 Set Up - PLEASE HELP

[admin_exported]

I want to buy a new amplifier and speakers for my PS3 and have come across the Onkyo TX-SR606 as being one of the cheapest amps. Just asking as the Onkyo has HDMI inputs for audio and is able output Dolby TrueHD would this be a good buy for the PS3? Also would this mean that I'd need to connect the PS3 to the Onyko using another HDMI cable, meaning I'd have 2 HDMI wires connected to the PS3 (1 for TV & 1 for Onkyo).

Also as I'm on a tight budget for speakers (under £300) would the Jamo A102HCS5 speaker system be a good buy and work well with the Onkyo and PS3?

Sorry I'm a novice at all this stuff, so thanks for the help!!

You feed the PS3 into the 606 and then feed the tv from the 606 (Hdmi s on both). If you had all the right sources they would all go into the Onkyo and only 1 hdmi would go into the tv from the 606. Unfortunately I also have a scart from my Virgin sd box into my tv but not an issue really.

The Onkyo and PS3 are the bargain set up and I don't even play games.

We're all novices...don't worry about it. That's why we're all here.

If you click on the new "How To" link at the top of the screen there's a great introduction to AV Receivers and how to connect up all your equipment etc (How TO... Hook up your home cinema receiver)

Have a look through these videos as I found them useful.

I also have the PS3/Onkyo 606. You'll only need the HDMI.
