I’m not sure where to get it but….
Basically, if its a new HDTV, it will have HDMI Inputs. So you should buy a 5.1 channel receiver & gradually build up the speakers as you can afford them.
Make sure that the receiver has HDMI Inputs, then you can plug your PS3 into that via the HDMI, then plug your receiver into your TV, also via HDMI.
HDMI runs both HD Video & Full Audio- so there would be no need to worry about the digital audio in.
Hope this helps!!
Good Luck!
