well this is one of those complicated things you got be there to walk through. i would recommend going to sears or wherever you bought it and ask someone to show you how to connect them all together.
i would bring your manual with you so they can draw arrows and label where each cord should go.
your playstation should be fine if its connected thru the tv and the tv is connected to HTiB (home theater in a box) and make sure you have it on the right channel and you have the audio cords going "in" to the tv on an rca jack(red, white, yellow cord) it should work if the tv does. if the regular tv works when its on cable/satelite/etc then you know that whatever sound is coming thru the tv is going to the HTiB.
so double chk where you are connecting your playstation to.
i think it should be connected to an "in" jack
if that doesnt work chk with your local sears or radioshack and find a "techie" guy who knows a lot about this stuff and can write it down in your manual.
