I saw the post a while back about hooking up the satellite box to the rcvr. Well, I had to try and get no sound. I hooked up the digital out from the sat. box to the denon optical 2, and set it up to work on the digital assignment screen, but still get no sound. What am I missing?? Thanks, Guy
Are you using the HDMI out to the TV?
Well, that answers that question... What kind of receiver is it? (probably doens't matter, but...)
Denon 3802. I also think I have the satellite itself set up on it's menu correctly. (Notice usage of "think", however) Guy
Have you checked the settings in the sat receiver as well? Sometimes there might something in the setup that you must select to allow for the digital output.
HDMI should not be an issue unless that's the only way your sat receiver will output digitally . I've also got the Denon 3802 with a basic sat receiver and have no issue with sound from the optical digital output.
I think I have it set up. I have it on the Dolby digital/PCM setting. Other options are Dolby digital only or PCM only. Guy
No, I'm sorry, I meant that I thought I already had it set up correctly. It does not give any sound. I have double checked the connections. Just at a loss. Not that I really need it for TV sound, just thought it would be used occasionally. Guy
Guy, what brand of satellite receiver are you using?
May be a silly question, but is your optical 2 assigned to TV on yor receiver, as well as your receiver being set on TV mode when viewing the satellite?
Sounds like something is not turned on properly. I would go through the manual again and reset everything. If that doesn't work maybe you can find someone who has a similar setup and ask a few questions.
Sorry I have not been able to reply,but as oz350z sig says, life happens. I'm in the middle of a hospital stay,think I'm headed in the right direction,and miss the heck out of speakers. I probaly won't have access to a computer again until i get home. Thanks, Guy
Get well soon.
Thanks much, I'm home, still have about a month of pills to take, still think things are headed in the right direction. The best therapy I've had is sitting listening to music, watching my 3 year old grandson dance around. I had tears in my eyes. Again, thanks for the good thoughts, Guy
