Jk* 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Im after purchasing a surround sound set up for my LCD TV and PS3. Now ive seen a lot of packages with DOOVDE players and therefore i pressume that i wouldnt be able to connect my PS3 to it. Does anyone have any good, reasonable priced set ups they could recommend?

craggsy 91 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I think that the PS3 has a digital sound output so any decent soorund system should be good to use Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I know thats how it works with 360 anyway Link to post Share on other sites
twin twotone turbos 0 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Get yourself a MISSION set up, my neighbour got everything running through his. Its incredable. They have stopped producing Mission over here as they closed the factory but i am sure you can still get hold of the gear. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have a SPHEREX setup which was specifically designed for gaming and uses sound reflected off of your walls, you can here bullets coming at you and passing your ear!check out richer sounds website Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I got a Marantz AV receiver with Mission speakers etc. . . Can't beat it, but it's very costly !As has been said the PS3 has an Optical output so anything with an Optical input will do what you ask ;-)MArk. Link to post Share on other sites
xyber 1 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 with the hdmi port you could also have 7.1 surround Link to post Share on other sites

Would not ahve given very good sound though. . . .Do you already have speakers you could use ? Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have some spare pioneer speakers i can use... Link to post Share on other sites
Earwig 89 Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Do you need the DVD player built in ? You are using the PS3 so I don't think it's needed ?Just let's you go for a better quality system, especially if you are going to start using BluRay ;-)Mark. Link to post Share on other sites
Jk* 0 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 No i dont need the DVD player, just the AV receiver. Has to be Sony ideally though. Have been looking on the bay recently, plus i popped into my local Richer Sounds to see what they have. Link to post Share on other sites
madspark01 0 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 if you are going to use ps3 or x box better using a kit with a seperate amp i have 2 kits linked both pioneer 10 speakers and a 12" active sub both kits have 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs so skyhd ps3 and hd dvd can stay connected a bit mad but sounds awsome luckily both neighbours eldely and partialy deaf as the name sudgests madspark Link to post Share on other sites
