Hi,

The only way you could plug your PS3 into your telly and get 5.1 is if your telly has a 5.1 decoder and has the right inputs to decoder the sorce.

The only way to use the 5.1 sound is if your HiFi or TV has a 5.1 decoder with inputs.

My dvd surround system is 5.1 is there a way to get the sound of the ps3 out through my system?

Yes, if it has an optical INPUT in the 5.1 dvd system.

Does the PS3 have a HDMI port? If you've got two HDMI in's in your system you can carry the audio over the HDMI.
