The audio will occasionally just vanish for 10 - 20 seconds on Dolby Digital DVDs - usually at a chapter break. DTS has not problem. If I switch the receiver on and off, the sound returns immediately. That is leading me to thing there is some sort of compatibility issues with the receiver.

Well, I had no sound coming from my speakers when the game loaded.

Is this normal?

When I first turn on the PS3 the Intro/boot music/sound comes out in 5.1(confirmed by ear and display on pre/pro). When I play a Blueray disk the only audio that I get is 2 channel, not 5.1. I have the selected 5.1 in the DVD setup menu. I have LPCM selected in the setup, in the sound section I've selected DTS, DD, ACC and the two 2 channel choices are automatically checked. I've tried only DTS, only DD and any other combination. Any help would be appreciated.

Is this normal? I am connected to my Onkyo SR674 receiver using HDMI from the PS3 and LPCM enabled.


After a few minutes, I quit out of the game, and then started it up again...and this time the sound was working perfectly. Is this an HDMI issue, a PS3 issue, or an Onkyo receiver issue?

Weird...

That's a mistake on the packaging. NBA2K7 is 720p max. I think COD3 also mistakenly lists 1080p on the back.

I was able to get pictures/music/videos from my USB drive.

First with the usb drive plugged into the computer, I created a file named PS3. Within the PS3 folder I created separete folders named PICTURE, MUSIC, and VIDEO. (within the video folder I created another folder named 100MNV01 only because that's the way it was set up on my PSP) I don't know if this is ALL necessary but it worked for me.

Next I copied the respective files that I wanted off my computer into their respective folders. I chose some photos and copied them into the PICTURES folder, songs into the MUSIC folder and so on. I had a home video that I copied into the 100MNV01 folder that worked.

Next I plugged the usb drive into the PS3.

I went to PHOTO, scrolled to USB drive, hit the triangle button, selected "display all", chose the PS3 folder, inside the PS3 folder I chose the PICTURE folder, hit the triangle button, and then chose copy. I did that with the MUSIC and VIDEO folders too.

It worked great. Maybe there's other ways to do it, but for now it got me where I wanted to be.

But if you're saying the PS3 doesn't output 1080p via component, then that might be true.
