811 DD problem

[ShadowEKU]

Ok I bought my 811 yesterday... got it home got it programmed everything is fine. It is hooked up using an optical cable strait into my optical in on my receiver. If I tune to a DD channel the receiver doesnt detect anything coming off of it. At first I thought it was a menu problem so I went in and checked the auto switch between pcm and dd. still nothing. so I rebooted... no joy there. I went into the menu and set it to PCM only. well it gets a perfect signal off of PCM. I thought it could be a bad cable or something so I hooked the cable into the dvd player... well it decodes the DD signal jsut fine off of it. So Its pretty well narrowed down to the 811. Now I can live with this little problem... but has anyone else experienced this?

That is a known bug with the 811.

It's only a problem with certain brands of receivers. Works fine with most. I've never had an audio problem with my Denon. What is your brand/model?

Shadow: Does your receiver have a provision for assigning digital inputs? If so that assignment must be the same as your video selection.

If you can shadow add the model to the above thread so that we can keep track of the models that are not working.
