    Ok i have a good TV, i have a PS3 and i want to get some surround sound. I watch my movies, blu-ray and normal, on my PS3, so i want to be able to have surround sound with my PS3 and not have to get another DVD player, also i would like to be able to watch normal TV in surround sound.

    What is the best way to do this?

    My TV has 1 red and 1 white audio out connection, 1 spare HDMI spot and a digital audio out connection. I really dont want to get a DVD player because i watch my movies on the PS3.

    Preferably under $500 (not including possible price of HDMI cable).

    connect your optical out on you PS3 to a stereo that is able to decode dolby digital ac3 5.1, and if you don't have the equipment yet, you would also need to buy the surround speakers.

    the red/white audio on your tv is for stereo (2 channel). Will not work for surround sound.
