No audio coming from new blue-ray dvd player

[zeglinfamily]

Just hooked up new Panasonic BD60 blue-ray DVD player to 6+ year old Onkyo Receiver ((TX-DS575X) via an optical digital audio cable. Didn't get any sound. (Video is hooked up via component video cables as before.) Didn't touch any of the connections from the receiver to the 6 year old HD-ready rear projection TV. The previous audio from the old DVD player to the Onkyo was connected via a coaxial cable (but the BD60 no longer has that as an output - just Optical digital audio cable). Is this a menu adjustment to the Panasonic player, the Onkyo, or what? Do I need to tell the dvd player or Onkyo receiver that I've changed the connection from coaxial to optical? Thanks. Michael

Welcome to the forum, Michael!

I'm guessing that you are using the same source selection (e.g. "DVD") for your new blu-ray player that you had been using with the old DVD player. If so, I bet that you just need to assign the optical digital input to that source.

That will be explained in your owner's manual, but if you have any questions about how to do that, just let us know.

EDIT: It's on page 18 of your owner's manual (you can download a PDF from Onkyo at the link here if you don't have the manual handy).

Welcome

sure sounds like a menu issue in either or both components. Need to read the BD60 manual audio section and the receiver's if one has to be chosen or not. Also, on the BD player's audio out bitstream, etc.
