Onkyo Receiver Beeping

Hello,

I'm new to this forum... but hoping you can help me.

I have an inexpensive Onkyo Theater in a box system which I like very much.

I have my DirecTV hooked to the reciever using the Optical digital output of the Sat. receiver. I have my Toshiba DVD player hooked to the same receiver, using the Digital Coax connection and a brand new dig. coax cable.

When I fast forward the DVR my receiver begins to beep (like Morse code, almost) after a few seconds. My gut feeling is that this happens when the audio signal stops being sent to the receiver. I've heard similar beeps from the speakers of the Toshiba flat screen CRT that serves as my monitor in this system.

I'm also using RCA cables, because I was told to do this to keep things simple for my wife, who does NOT like messing with the Home Theater just to watch a little prime time TV.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Figured it out!

Duh. All I had to do was tell the receiver exactly WHICH optical signal to use for the different devices. The beeping is gone!
