Hello fello Outlaws. I have owned my 990 for the past 4 years and couldn't be happier. This is my first post and have appreciated all the great advice and insite over the years.

I recently received a new PS3 for the holidays. I was planing on getting the Oppo player and taking advantage of the analog audio outs for the new HD codecs and the 990. As you know, PS3 while a very capable player lacks analog outputs and can only output via HDMI. I am sure this has been covered but I am looking for alternatives as to how I can maximize the multi channel experience on blu ray with the 990.

With the PS3, you will need to use the optical output. This will give you the lossy core DD and DTS tracks from TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio tracks.

Thanks for the reply Gonk. I had the understanding that you could only input TrueHD and DTS-HD to the 990 through analog inputs and that optical out has bandwidth limitations for the next generation audio formats. Does this mean I have no way of getting the TrueHD and DTS-HD output via the PS3

The only way to get TrueHD and DTS-HD out of a PS3 is via HDMI, into a receiver that can accept HDMI audio. There is no way to get them when pairing the PS3 with a non-HDMI receiver or processor (which includes the 990).
