Try going into the menus on the Sony player and make sure the digital output is setup properly. It's usually turned on and you have to go into the menus to turn it off, but in your case maybe somebody already did this.
No DVD Sound
I have a new Yamaha RX-V1600 with a Panasonic 42" plasma and Sony DVP NS315 DVD player. Everything works fine (TV , satellite subs, SWFR & Receiver) on 2 channel except I can't get sound out of my DVD player. Optical cable is used from HDTV box to the receiver for the TV and digital cable is used from DVD player to the receiver. I've tried all input modes from the Yamaha receiver and still no sound. Any ideas out there?
