DVD-Receiver = no soundtorsten
Mar 23, 2001 6:24 AM
Like to know why I'm not getting any sound when I hook up
my DVD player to the receiver. I'm hooking up the toslink
cable from my DVD player into the optical in of my Denon
AVR-3600. When I hit the DVD button on the front panel, the
'digital surround' light comes on but there is no sound. Anybody
got an idea of what's going on.
Thanks in advance.
Gotta turn it on.Anime Guru

In many DVD players, you need to turn on the optical output. If your DVD player is capable of DD and/or DTS, you will also need to set it to output these signals. DTS needs to be set to "bitstream" output and DD just needs to be set to Dolby Digital output. Refer to your DVD's manual for details.

Your system may have a selection inputs from sorce rca. type pacth cords
such as optical coax. analog try selecting the right pacth cord if you can, it's the only thing I can think of

Do you possibly have "b" speakers selected?You know I had to ask.
Also,on a lot of recievers,you have to designate which digital signal is for what component,at least you do on mine....

I hve a Denon 3801 and I hooked my DVD the other night via the optical out from DVD to optical in on the 3801 and no sound came out. I checked the Set-Up menu for the Denon and I had set the Digital part to the DVD as optical but sund still wasn't working.

I then pushed the "Auto" button on the Denon's front and the sound started. I don't know if your Denon has the "Auto" button on it, but what it does is automatically switch the receiver to the proper input source.

Hope this helps.
