Dtc,I am running into the same problem trying to hook up a new sony 3d player for my sister.She wants to be able to listen to audio cd's ,there is only a single coax digital input to the DVD player or an optical,her receiver does not have an optical option.Her ancient receiver has a right and left input that use to handle the old DVD/CD.I went into the sony menu and it is set to auto for everything and I could not find the LPCM it had only the PCM option.Any ideas,none of this may work out but any ideas would be appreciated.thanks.
Audio hookups
I have an older Yamaha RX-V1400 AV receiver, using with a Sony Blu-Ray player and a Sony HD TV. Since the Yamaha has no HDMI in or out, I have the BRP connected directly to the TV with an HDMI cable, getting video but no sound. I can't remember how I connected the sound cables from the BRP thru the Yamaha and then out to the TV. I'm using HDMI 1 input on the TV, just need to get the sound connected. Help!
