Thanks Lorenzo. That was a good call as I was forgetting to look there since I didn't modify my DVD setup but I did have it unplugged so you never know.

Unfortunately, it was correctly set for bitstream so that wasn't it. I aslo tried my old DVD player. It's not progressive so the picture had funny colored lines in it from whatever failed conversion process was happening but it showed the same problem. It would do PCM stereo (kinda digital) but not dolby 5.1. Still showed no sound being input to the AVR. Proved pretty much the receiver was the cuplrit.

I reverted to good old computer troubleshooting. I reset the processor and everything work again. Im not sure if the processor was hosed or if it just forced me to reenter all the settings so I ended up inadvertantly fixing an incorrect setting .

Anyway, back in business. Thanks Lorenzo and anyone else who tooka a few minutes to think about it.



With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
