iim finding for a decent 5.1 surround speaker with an optical input to fix to my ps3..my budget is around rm500 or less so i dont want anybody to suggest speakers like logitech z5500

I bought a pioneer 2 years ago, it was an older model with optical out. I'm not too sure if they make them anymore.

500 or less? 2.1 is for you

Oh btw, does optical out support 7.1 surround? From what I remember it only goes up to DTS/Dolby or something like that. If you want true surround you'll need to use HDMI.

Added on January 24, 2010, 12:55 amI bought my pioneer for <500 RM, its 5.1 with 2 frontal "rear" speakers. But then again, I bought a display model, so i'm not too sure if you can find anything at that price new.

optical doesn't support 7.1, only maximum 5.1 dolby if i'm not wrong.

less than RM500, try sonic gear enzo 7000, it have optical input, but the sound quality is......

honestly i dont think u can find a 5.1 speaker setup with optical input for RM500

but i noe, sonic gear enzo 7000 is rm460.. anymore ideas on other models with optical input less or around rm500??

Get the Logitech z2300( slightly above RM500, if I'm not mistaken) . It's not a 5.1 system, but it sounds pretty darn close. I use it with living room lcd, and when playing games which depend on knowing where the sound comes from like bioshock, this 2.1 speakers really does the job. I kid you not, I can hear the sounds when its coming behind you even though the speakers are placed in front of me! And watching movies is just amazing. In my opinion, some 5.1 systems, especially entry level ones can't even match this logitech 2.1 setup.

i'm using altec lansing ADA 885 , been using it ever since my pc modding days, close to 4-5 yrs. Still kicking nicely with THX.

No optical though , sound output directly thru TV headphone output.

im having Edifier R501....but i do not know how to connect and obtain sound for my PS3 gaming.....
anyone have an idea?

Hi there, I recently got a Samsung LED TV and i'm using a HDMI cable to connect my PS3 to the TV. However, my Bose Home Theatre System does not support HDMI input and only supports Composite (the red and white cable) input. My TV also has a Composite audio output. The PS3 system only recognizes the HDMI for both audio and visual. If a change the setting it is only available in 2 channels. How do i setup my PS3 to work with my TV and Home Theatre in 5.1

ur home theatre got optical??

The red white cables can only carry 2 channels or less.

use optical cable...that what i did with my system...hdmi to monitor and optical to audio setup

connect ps3 to your led tv using hdmi, then connect composite cable from your tv's composite output to your bose composite input.

work like a charm for my previous setup before i switch to fully hdmi for whole setup

TS say he wants 5.1

Composite will not carry a 5.1 signal

sorry didnt noticed that....

Wat other connectors does your Bose system hav?
If it's jus composite den it cant be a 5.1 system.
So u can never get 5.1 sound...

Check again n see wat other connectors tat u hav back there
Or mebbe u can giv us d model no. of ur Bose.
Tat way it's easier
