Hi,

Just got my Samsung 46" B650 home now and I've got quite a strange problem.

a) If I plug my Marantz DV7600 direct to the TV via HDMI, the HDMI lights up on the DVD player and everything plays smoothly. I get no amplification this way as I'm bypassing the amp and sound plays through my TV speakers.

b) However, if I plug the DVD player > Marantz SR5002 > TV - then the DVI lights up on the DVD player and I get *no* sound anywhere. I also get no upconverting of the picture.

If I connect as b) above - and unplug the HDMI from the TV while playing a DVD, the DVD display instantly changes to HDMI and the sound comes through the amp. As I connect it to the TV, it instantly changes to DVI and I lose sound.

I've tried to check settings on my amplifier etc, but can't see anything. Also, this config worked before with my LG. All I've done substitute the TV without changing anything.

Ideas?
