Help with Denon AVR-1505 set-up

I have a Denon AVR-1505. Here is my issue. When I'm watching TV monitered through the AVR, the sound is fine. When I watch a DVD (connected through optical) the sound is barely audible. If I switch to straight stereo, I get the full volume again but no surround effect. I've read through the owner's manual several times looking for an answer with no luck. Am I just missing something simple?

Is the DVD player digital audio output connected directly to the receiver? Also on the DVD setup menu, make sure that digital signals are set to output.
