First will describe the connectivity:
PS3 is connected via HDMI
MCE connected via HDMI (DVI-to-HDMI cable) video wise and coax for sound.
Yamaha somehow combines it, without my intelligence

After switching to MCE - horrible pixelation so I had to switch PS3 off to restore PQ.
hmmm, I am a noob in this area, so will investigate.
Video is set to passthru, no upscaling, or so I think.
PQ is the same good as direct from MCE or from PS3.

Sound is a bit flat compare to Sony STR-940 using MCE, but I have spent some time adjusting it, so will have to repeat.
Uncompressed PCM from PS3 is really good - crisp and vibrant, but I want to hear DTS-Master.
Which movie? and have you gone into the PS3 BD setting?
