Small Problem

Hi Guys....
Please help me with something. My brother's Logitech Z5500 is connected through Optical wire to his Sony TV which has PS3, XBOX 360 and PC connected through HDMI. Now I wanted to know if he connects his PS3 via component and/or Composit cables, will he get 5.1 sound or just stereo?? And is Coaxial digital or analog? Thanks. Any help will be greatly appreciated......
