Rca Rt2911 Optical Audio

i cant seem to figure out what source to have my reciever on to use the optical input. The optical chord has the red light on and everything but cant seem to get sound to come out of the reciever. Just to be clear the input options i have are am/fm, dvd, vcr, game/line in, tv, sat/cab, and DB.

You need to do digital input assignment. Go to SETUP, DIGITAL INPUT ASSIGNMENT, set OPTICAL 1 for your input (DVD).

you do have to tell the receiver what you want it to do usually on the front panel you can access set up menu and go into input set up This is an example Say you plugged the dvd into optical one or coax 1 you must go to the input that says dvd click down till you highlight dig input and then select optical 1 or coax 1 there can be as many as 8 digital inputs so just check which one you plugged it into and then tell the amp then you should be back to watching your digital movies

Thanks
