Re: PS3 integration
Thanks very much for all the input! I was hoping I wasn't missing anything. I assumed there would have to be some set-up menu for the audio... and from I hear here that's the case. Looks like I'll proceed as planned. Shame on me... the client bough the PS3 about two weeks ago, so I had to do a change order on the integration. I should have brought it home and played it and investigated it more closely!
Thanks,

Darren, FYI the PS3 may need an firmware update. I did one when they first came out and it took at least 30 minutes to download and install.

Well, it took the units 'software' from 1.10 to 1.3x (can't remember exactly), and got HDMI and Toslink to work correctly. Unit was NOT hooked to the internet at all. You tell me....

Just consider the lag time between latest firmware copied to a game disc, then sits on selves for ???. It's not a reliable way to get the latest firmware. The firmware on gamming disc are most likely required to play the game and that's why they produce the disc with the firmware.

0Re: PS3 integration
I have used the ir4ps3. It is the guts of a PS3 remote with a IR sensor on it. It is cheap, about $70, and easy to come by, just e-mail ir4ps3 at hotmail dot com , and he will send you one after getting your paypal money. The control is very quick and consistent. I have one in my house and have been amazed at its performance. I know I sound like a commercial but it works, and because it uses the PS3 remote as its blue-tooth interface Sony will never be able to firmware it away, like it has with other IR to blue-tooth solutions.

There are a number of IR to bluetooth devices out there sepcifically made for the PS3, but most of them don't support the power button. Do a search for PS3 IR to BT and you'll find a lot of them, just do your homework or you'll be explaining to the customer that, "Yes Mr. Customer, you push this button and everything will turn on, er, but then you have to get up and physically turn on the PS3." I know it won't sound like that oer se, but you get my drift. I hate telling customers it works like this but... Just get confusing. Also, the latest firmware for the PS3 is 2.7. Everytime they upgrade the firmware, there is almost always some sort of BlueRay update included so you want to ensure that the customer knows this and stays on top of the updates. And one more thing, as for the audio out, like already stated, when you set up for HDMI the PS3 usually will change your audio settings to HDMI. All you have to do is go into your audio settings and change that to Digital Optical. Its that simple. If you have anymore questions, fell free to let me know, I love the PS3!!!!
