You don't need the optical cable. Simply run an HDMI cable from your PS3 to your Onkyo receiver and another from the receiver to your Sony. The HDMI cables carry both sound and vision.

Thanks for that one , but why does the amp show multichannel 7.1 engauged when I don't want it to ???????

Not sure really, it could be your optical cable confusing the issue, does it still do it once the cable is removed

Have you set up the receiver correctly. also go into your PS3 sytem menu go to BD settings and check to see if it set to linier 5.1 PCm, if not and it's set to bitstream change it to 5.1 PCM

Also

From the main PS3 desktop, go to the "Settings" menu, then down to the "Sound Settings" option and select it, then choose "Audio Output Settings".

It will then ask you to "Select the connector on the TV or AV amplifier (receiver).". At this point select HDMI, then select Automatic. It will then give you a list of the settings it has selected and ask you to press X to save them. The list should be:
Dolby Digital 5.1 Ch.
DTS 5.1 Ch.
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 44.1 kHz
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 88.2 kHz
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 176.4 kHz
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 48 kHz
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 96 kHz
Linear PCM 2 Ch, 192 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 44.1 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 88.2 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 176.4 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 48 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 96 kHz
Linear PCM 5.1 Ch. 192 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 44.1 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 88.2 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 176.4 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 48 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 96 kHz
Linear PCM 7.1 Ch. 192 kHz

Hopefully this makes a bit more sense, and fixes the problem.

Remember setting the PS3 to 5.1 PCM will mean that your receiver will show 7.1 multichannel as it is giving you the best sound possible.
