REVscene Automotive Forum - View Single Post - HDMI port on TV, Optical ports on Home Theatre

Ok so here's my setup:

I have an HDtv with HDMI port and a toslink port
a PS3 with HDMI connection
a home theatre with only 2 toslink ports

I'm wondering if it's possible to plug my ps3 via hdmi to the tv and output the audio from the tv to the home theatre via the optical plugs.

so what i'm trying to say is get the TV to be the middle man off this situation.

You may ask why don't I plug in the ps3 directly to the home theatre, I wish I could, as I use one connection to my 360, and the other directly to the tv already. So I'm out of ports.

I don't want to buy a toslink switch if I don't have to.
