I just set up a home theatre system to give my gaming better sound. I have a my 27in hdmi computer monitor a ps3 and my denon. i need to hook up my
ps3 to my denon to get audio it seems like but there is no hdmi on my denon? how would i hook up the to to get audio? ps3 to monitor by hdmi. would i be able to run a cable like, left and right audio to line in on the monitor?

Im pretty sure ps3's have optical audio out which I'm sure the denon would have. I remember my ps2 had it.

You might want to be more specific than just "my Denon"

Denon has been maing receivers since long, long than before HDMI became a standard. ...even before digital multi-channel sound for that matter. Hell, they've been making receivers since long before anyone even dreamed of home theatre.

i know but im just assuming its a surround sound receiver. my reciever is 7 years old and it has optical audio so im assuming his is probably somewhat more recent that mine

Assume nothing here.

You do know that "assume" is really three words, right? You would be surprised at what pops up here

The PS3 offers user selectable audio output utilizing one of three different connection methods.

1. HDMI - Just use an HDMI receiver... You don't have this, so you can't do this! If you are connected to the display via HDMI, then it will default to HDMI audio and you will manually need to switch to a different audio connection type.

2. Toslink digital optical audio... This isn't HDMI, but it's a solid audio connection. You will need to go buy this cable.

3. Analog (red/white) RCA audio connection... If you only have this on your receiver... maybe time to upgrade. The RCA connectors are on the proprietary PS3 cable which shipped with your PS3 unit. Plug that into your PS3 and go into the audio setup and select the RCA connections. They have a pretty picture and everything!

Only one audio output may be active at a time, but it definitely works when you set it up for your type of connection.

What he said. Look in your "set-up" screen on the PS3 to change the audio source. Good luck.
