Page 1 of H&B 5415s Help !!

I have just bought a H&B 5415s and so far for the money it looks to be a good deal. However, the user manual is somewhat limited, and does not give any help about connecting the dvd player to my stereo with fibre optics lead.

I tried just pluggin it in and got no sound, tried playing with a few of the settings, but to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas ? about this or any other set-up that can be done on the player.

Thanks

I think the optical out on the DVD player will be a 5/6 channel output - either Dolby Digital 5.1(DD) or DTS, depending on the source disc. If you are trying to run that into a stereo hifi with no DD/DTS decoding, you will get silence.
Is there a 2 channel output on the DVD player - probably via phono sockets? That would seem to be your best bet, unless you can set the player up to output a 2 channel mix via the optical cable.
