Was it working before 25xtreme? Doesnt the optical output only work for Dolby Digital programming...

...or am I high? :p

[chipster]

Did you try Menu - Messages/Setup - My Preferences - Audio?

[zorrozzzzz]

Turn it on like chipster said

[zorrozzzzz]

i wish it was that easy....................... when i asked this question about a week ago (tucky) responded this........Make sure that you turned back on the optical port in 2.5 xtreme....it is set to analog by default............ so if this is true how do i make the change from analog and where .........................




:(

[T_RJ]

Did you read chipsters post above?

[zorrozzzzz]

yes i read that is not the prolbem...................................do you have a t-60 if so do you use optical out and does it work for you...............im thinking when i loaded 25xtreme maybe i had a chance to change setting there but not sure it is NOT a reciever prolbem did u read what i posted tucky said.....tucky) responded this........Make sure that you turned back on the optical port in 2.5 xtreme....it is set to analog by ................thx and lighten up...:rolleyes:

[genericuser]

Well, I have a T-60. I applied extreme 2.5. I reset the audio output to the optical. Yes, it still works just fine for me.

[T_RJ]

I am just saying the option is turned on or off with the remote.

There are no options regarding this while loading the xtreme image.

Have you actually used the remote and checked if the Dolby digital is enabled?

If you have and you still have problems I would try a different cable.

I know you said it worked before. But there have been many posts regarding digital cable quality.

I hope I lightened up enough. I didn't mean to sound harsh.

Well maybe I did a little.

[zorrozzzzz]

how did you switch audio output to the optical. was this a setting you changed in the reciever ......if so then i have other prolbems ....i have changed settings in reciever several times and thats not the prolbem thx for responding.........

[T_RJ]

This is starting to sound like a sh*ty cable.

Just to confirm

hit the TiVo button

scroll down to "Mesages and Setup" hit select

scroll down to "My preferences" hit select

scroll down to "Audio options" hit select

should be at "Dolby DigitaL" hit select

scroll down to "Yes, output and record in Dolby Digital" hit select

Go watch TiVo

:rolleyes: :confused: :rolleyes: :D :eek: :mad: :p :( :confused:

Strange thread...

[T_RJ]

Hello Chipster

[zorrozzzzz]

LOL...... T_RJ I DID THAT OVER AND OVER not the prolbem but thx .....thought maybe it was the a software setting in 25 xtreme hmmmmmmmmm back to the drawing board.......

[T_RJ]

Try a different cable.

[chipster]

As I read through the thread, I couldn't tell if you actually tried enabling it through the preferences menu or not. Your first post suggested that you had not found the menu to enable it. T_RJ and I were pointing you to the menu where you turn it on. Apparently you have indeed tried this and still no joy...

That said, T_RJ suggests trying a different optical cable.

It's also been said around the various forums that some DTivos have a problem with Yamaha receivers. I thought this was isolated to the Sony flavor of DTivo - and it required a free service fix in the shop. Though I can't see why Sony hardware would behave different from the identical Philips or Hughes - though there are subtle differences in the software.

[zorrozzzzz]

owell thx to all for trying to help may try to reload or just put original drives back in just to see if that makes a difference again thx everyone..........:) :) :) :)

[chipster]

Don't give up yet... Go to the *massive* Tivo forum at AVSForum.

Run a search on "optical output" or something like that. Check the Tivo Undergroud as well as the DirecTV with Tivo forums...

[T_RJ]

Let us know if it is software related.

We'll be here waiting.

[zorrozzzzz]

thx for the link i will check out and let you know tomorrow did see simlar prolbem at that link you provided thx again......:D

[saltynutz]

Just wondering if you got this working, I am having the same problem. I just bought a new receiver and switched to the optical cable and there is no red light coming out of the T60. I've tried changing the setting, rebooting it, nothing works. I'm starting to think it is a hardware problem. I'll keep searching. Thanks.

[chipster]

As my T60's optical out is glowing red even with it switched off in software..

[chainsawbob]

I had the same problem, but it just quit one day.
I reinstaled xtreme but that didnt fix it so
i finaly removed the LED and found that it
had burnt out (scorch mark between 2 of the 3 pins).
i havent found a replacement yet, but i havent been
looking too hard ether :-)
