I need help setting up my new Yamaha RX-V461 receiver. I've tried 2 different DVD players (both with 5.1 capability and coax digital audio outputs) as "DVD input" sources for the receiver. The Yamaha front-panel input icons consistently show only 2-channel (FL/FR) instead of 5.1 input icons. Sound comes through via DVD so (new, orange) coax digital audio cable is fine. I've tried full power shut-down on the receiver, plus factory setting reset. Yamaha tech support isn't replying to my "help" email. Any advice??

Have you read the manual for your DVD player?

These devices are not plug and play. Every DVD player needs to be set up to allow the Digital Bit stream to be actibvated. Like Berny said read.

Go into the player audio menus and set the digital audio output to bitstream.

Thanks guys. Thought I read the manual fully, but missed the bitstream part. Everything works terrific now! Thanks again...
