Hey
has anyone else had a problem with getting no optical out signal with this receiver?
Check your inputs to make sure that the correct input is on or automatic.
Each input on your receiver can be assigned to as a specific video input.
For example, Component 2 is assigned to Optical 5, both are connected to my DVD player. This tells the receiver which inuts to use when I change the function to DVD.
Auto works some times, but manually setting it in the system setup area is much better.
Cheers!

Thanks dude but its the outputs i'm having trouble with.
Im not getting any signal from either output and Ive tried different cables.
Can you see any red light where you plug in the optical cable when something is supposed to be playing out of that output?
i cant easily see the back of the 3806 but theres no light coming from end of the cables and ive tried 3 different ones.

<<• The OPTICAL 3 and 4 terminals on the AVR-3806’s rear panel
are equipped with an optical digital output terminal for
recording digital audio signals to a CD recorder, MD recorder, or
other digital audio recording deck. Use this for digital recording
between a digital audio source (stereo – 2 channel) and a digital
audio recorder.
• “PHONO” and “TUNER” cannot be selected on the “Digital In
Assign” screen.>>
I think I follow you now. You are trying to output to a recording device. Assuming your connected to optical 3 or 4 for output, what is your input?
All my inputs are optical.
What devices are connected to which optical connections (1-4)?
