Need Help setting up home theater

[Shrout1]

lol! Y'all are useless!!

I registered here just to help this post, since I have a pioneer VSX-D5095 and was having this same exact problem except with a blu-ray player. My friend and I took about an hour but we eventually figured it out.

There are a couple things that are important... this receiver only likes Dolby Digital. Make sure that all your output settings are for Dolby Digital (not downmix PCM or any other such nonsense). I also had to set "Optical/coax" as the primary audio output and NOT the HDMI (this is on my sony Blu-Ray).

Now, turn the receiver on. Hit the "rcv" button on the remote. Press the right arrow on the keypad (arrows around the "enter" button) until you see "Opt 1 - CDR" (it may have a different source selected on your receiver). Now hit up and down on the arrows to choose which source is tied to Optical Input 1. Also do the same for Optical Input 2 (if you'd like). DVD/LD is the source we used. (Now when you use DVD/LD it will look at optical 1 for audio)

Now, change the reciever over to DVD/LD - if it says "DVD 5.1 CH" that means it is looking at the analog inputs for the 5.1 surround - you don't want that. Hit the DVD/LD button again on the front of the reciever to change it back to digital. If all your output settings on your device are set to Dolby Digital you should see an extra "Digital" pop up underneath the existing "Digital" with the dolby icon next to it.

Now hit the "DTS" button on the front of the receiver until you see the "Digitial" in the red box with the dolby icon lit up on the top of the display.

Wire up and you're good to go!

I hope this at least helps a random passerby Y'all are a high priority hit for VSX D5095 on google.

(Oh! I also bought some random Terk HDMI 3 source switcher to put back into the equipment area and switch my HDMI sources)
