I am trying to connect our TV to the surround sound system through a YAMAHA RX-V565 receiver.
The TV only has optical output, so got myself a cable and plugged it in. However, no sound is coming out of the speakers.
I tried the cable through my computer monitor, since it has HDMI in and optical sound output, but that also failed. I can clearly see the light coming through the cable, so there is a signal of some sort going through it.
The receiver, however, reproduces only silence.
It DOES work fine for input from our CD player through RCA cables, and the built-in radio works fine too.
Help?
