Yes, that works. After disabling the auto scan feature on the Octava, the unit just stays on, even if all sources and monitors are turned off. You can just insert a (SA)CD into the PS3 and it will play.
Just to be clear, my plasma screen is connected to the Octava, but turned off (standby actually). I do not know whether it will make a difference if I really disconnect the plasma from the Octava.
