N-Vi and external PS3

Posted by: JY on 13 December 2007

Apologies if I am not up to speed on home theatre:

I have a PS3 with Blu-Ray and TrueHD decoding:

Q1: For multi channel digital connection, can I connect via coaxial or fiber to the N-Vi and get the multi-channel support?

Q2: Since PS3 supports True-HD, if I want the full impact, do I have to connect to the N-Vi via analog since the N-Vi does not support True-HD?

q1 yes , but i think its vanilla dd & dts

q2 im sure the ps3 only outputs the hd sound codecs via hdmi " which means you like the rest of us at the minute are f******"

Yep neil W is correct.

n-Vi only takes in standard SPDIF, it will not decode True-HD or DTS-HD directly.

AV2 will accept 7.1 analogue multichannel audio in via inputs 1&2 in "multi" mode, if your source supports it.
