Troubleshooting

No sound when playing DVD

When playing from either DVD source, check the source displayed on the Yamaha amp. If it shows "Audio 1", switch the amp input to the appropriate DVD input. (Audio 1 indicates the Audio Return Channel (eARC) used for playback of TV audio. It is sometimes auto-selected as an audio source when a DVD is powered up even though the DVD video is selected for routing to the TV.)

No video displayed when playing DVD

This appears to be a software glitch in the TV. Reboot it from the Sony remote with:

  1. Setup (the gear button)
  2. Cursor to Settings, then select (crosshairs button)
  3. System
  4. Restart

Power-cycling probably won't do it, I don't think that does a reset.
