3D Blu-Ray on PS3 giving no signal - Receiver Issues

I just bought a new Samsung PN50C8000, and I get a no signal error anytime I try to play a 3d Blu-Ray on my PS3, which is HDMI'd through my receiver (Pioneer VSX-9040TXH).

My google-fu tells me that the receiver doesn't seem to handle a 3D signal (something to do with HDMI 1.4). Bummer.

What I want to ask is if there is an alternate setup or something I can do about this? Buying another receiver is out of the question for budgetary reasons. Maybe the answer is as easy as switching out the HDMI cables or updating the Pioneeer firmware somehow?

I've tried the following with decent results, but I worry about the quality of sound that I get when I'm not going directly from the source and I'm not a fan of switching TV inputs (I'd rather do it all on the receiver):
1)From PS3 HDMI to TV
2)TV Optical audio out to Receiver

Any help would be totally appreciated.
