~~HI guys, this is my first post. I am awaiting a subwoofer to be delivered today to add to my modest (but growing) home theatre setup - a receiver with two front speakers and a center channel. While waiting for FedEx to deliver the sub I figured I would search online to make sure I know how to set it up when it gets here. While doing this I somehow stumbled onto the fact that because my blu -ray player (which happens to be a ps3) is not hooked up to my receiver via hdmi I will not get the best audio, which is DTS - MA. My receiver only decodes Dolby Pro Logic, so if I understand correctly I should set my receiver to Auto A.F.D., connect the Ps3 to the receiver via hdmi, and select lpcm as the audio output from the ps3. I feel like an ass cause I assumed for the past year or so that I was getting the best audio from just the optical output. Now my question is this: without rear speakers, will DTS-MA give me the best sound for the speakers I have or should I be doing something else such as using the Pro-Logic decoders on the receiver?
