Hint

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 an optical digital 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.
