When pass through isn't enabled, the reciever says PCM 48 or 44 depending on the source. When it is enabled it is blank, no channels lit, though If I watch it closely, I see a Dec. Er. Flash up right when I start playback. So I guess the Reciever is getting a signal, it just can't understand it. The reciever is a Sony STR-DE695. I intially set up in my computer room with an little bit older Sony reciever, and had no luck there either, though I can't remember how much time I spent on it. I'll look into the reciever, but it is auto-sensing as far as I know and just is plug and play pretty much no matter whats on the fiber. I'll try mplayer or xine with a nuv with surround and see how that goes. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
