Smile surround sound ->PS3

hey, sorry if you feel this is a repeat post, i just really need to make sure i know what i'm doing.

ok, so i have my surround sound system which has optical, i have my tv which has an optical input, and i have my PS3 which also have optical input

BAsically, i primarily need surround sound for my PS3. I have 1 HDMI cable and 1 optical cable. Im just not sure what to connect to what to get surround sound on PS3.

currently i have HDMI from TV to PS3, (surround sound system coming tomorrow) so would i connect optical from surround system to TV or to PS3 - because they both have inputs for optical

Also, if i was wanting TV/DVD in surround would i need to change this setup?

Thanks a lot, and replies would be greatly appreciated.

Connect optical from PS3 to surround sound system.

Are you using the PS3 for DVDs or do you have a separate DVD player/recorder? Either way it depends on the surround system and what i/ps it has.
