Why am I still getting static with an auxiliary cable?

Why am I getting analog" displayed on my receiver when I'm using optical cable?

  • I have a home theater with a Marantz SR5600 receiver, and a High Definition DVR cable box from Cablevision. I also have a 5.1 speaker system hooked up. I hooked up an optical cable from the "optical out" of the cable box to the "optical in" of the receiver, removed the cable for the regular coax connection, and put the receiver on "auto", then played a digital broadcast. However, the word "alalog" is always displayed. Does anyone know why this could be? Thank you.

  • Answer:

    The previous answer may be correct, but one more thing worth trying is to go into the cable box's menu and try to find the audio options. Somewhere there should be either an audio out or a digital out option. There will be two choices, either digital PCM or Dolby Digital. Make sure your box is set for Dolby Digital. Hope that helps.

This might be the receivers way of saying its a 2 channel signal. I remember when I had Comcast that not all HD shows were in Dolby and you would be stuck with 2 channel. I suggest hooking up a DVD player via optical cable... play a CD and see what pops up.
