I have a playstation 3 blue ray player attached to my bs3 using HDMI to HDMI only - excellent picture and sound quality
Will beo 4 control it though??
The Playstation 3 does not use IR, so you'll have to get a converter for it - then get the BS3 to control it. With regard to connecting it up, you'll need the SP/DIF connector connected if you want 5.1/&.2 sound also.
*need the SP/DIF connector*
With HDMI ????
I am using a Playstation 3 with mine. I have my beo4 controlling it in a limited fashion as the ir control on the playstation is not very elaborate.
Very happy with the sound and picture, just use the HDMI of course and watch in uncompressed format where possible.
I think the Beosystem 3 does not support Dolby TrueHD und DTS-HD at this moment. So you don't get out what's in the Blue ray disc.
From what I read on the subject, decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD soundtracks is done by the player itself. The digital output format should be set to multi-channel PCM, which the Beosystem 3 supports (according to one message here). There is no need that the decoding be done by the A/V processor itself.
Best regards,

Using the Playstation 3 I selected sound settings and PCM from the Bluery disc menu. I noticed an incredible amount of depth to the sound. Far supperior th movies in Dolby Digital.
