When connecting a digital audio device to the system, go to (Settings)
(Sound Settings) "Audio Output Settings", and then adjust the settings as
necessary for the audio device.

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 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.
