I didn't know about the PS3 video test but my projector has a place in the menus that shows the current input. I've looked at it to verify I was gettting 1080p/24 from BD's (it shows 1080i or 720p when I check the Directv output).

I have my PS3 connected to the 990 via optical for sound. You'll have to use something because you can't get sound from the hdmi to the 990. If I only had one hdmi device, I'd connect it straight to the tv.

Keep us informed of what you find.
