You can connect audio devices that support digital audio output, 
such as an AV receiver for home entertainment use.

When connecting a digital audio device to the system, adjust the audio output 
settings as necessary for the device during initial setup (

 page 15).

The supported channels may vary depending on the output 
connector to be used.

Normally, audio cannot be output simultaneously from multiple output 
connectors. For example, if your PS3™ system is connected to a TV via an 
HDMI cable and to an audio device via a digital optical cable and "Digital Out 
(Optical)" is set under "Audio Output Settings", audio will no longer be output 
from the TV and will only be output from the audio device.
