Page 1 of Disks wont output thru Digital Optical to HTK-215

Can anyone help me?

I`ve just bought a Phillips DVD751 and the new sony HTK215. I`m very pleased with it but puzzled that 2 out of 12 DVDs tried dont seem to send any sort of signal through the digital optical lead to the amp. All others tried are OK and send dolby digital etc through fine.

The DVD`s themselves (A few good men & Jerry McGuire) play fine through the TV, and when routed through the TV leads to the amp also produce a prologic signal to Left Right and center speakers (but not rear) Their boxes imply they are dolby digital etc... so its bugging me why they behave differently.

Are we just talking faulty disks here (I am new to this dvd thing)? Has anyone else had problems like this? any advice greatfully received.

Thanks

Have you enabled digital output on the player as most players have a factory setting of Dolby Digital off

Thanks for the reply. I have checked the output on the phillips and it is set to `all`. (other options are PCM and off). Most disks output fine, its just the 2 I mentioned that dont give any signal at all to the amp.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?
