You don’t have to connect it to your PS3, just hook it up to your TV’s audio output, when you play it will feed through your TV

How would I use multiple optical inputs in my surround sound system?

Question by Ricardodude: How would I use multiple optical inputs in my surround sound system?
I’m thinking of getting a PS3 sometime in the future, mainly for Blu-ray. And I want to know how I will get surround sound out of it before I buy it.

I already have my 360 in the optical input of my sound system and my pc in the 6 ch direct input.

The only other input I have is digital coax, and I have no idea what that is used for…

So is there a switcher or something I could use to connect two optical inputs?

as far as the Digital Coaxial is concerned, it is used to send sound(just like the optical line) to a receiver.

"At the center of the new Sudekum Planetarium is the GOTO Chiron optical star projector that fills the dome with more than 6.5 million stars (the previous star ball projected 2,500). This breathtakingly realistic night sky is combined with a Digistar 3, high-definition, full-dome system that projects images and animations of the wonders of the universe from horizon to horizon. No other planetarium in the country offers the seamless integration of these two technologies. The gently sloping seating and powerful 5.1 surround sound system give the visitors to the Sudekum a unique, immersive and exhilarating experience."
