Thanks to both fdxSteve and Gonk;

I have the new PS3 slim. I guess I thought the lights for the rears on the 886 would light up if the speakers were active, not just if the soundtrack was 7.1 surround.

If I select PLIIx as a surround mode, I assume I lose the lossless DTS or Dolby mix? I can use PLIIx for regular (standard definition) DVDs also, correct?

I should also add that when I watch a Blu Ray and the soundtrack is a lossless format, the volume, punch and impact that is heard is incredible!
