So of course the set-up has a glitch. no sound I connected my 550 as instructed, analog out to the analog in on the 950. all 550 speakers are at large and sub is on. set audio according to posted S550 guides from other users:
setting: output priority multi channel analog
audio (hdmi): 2ch pcm
BD audio setting: direct
Audio ATT: off
dolby digital: downmix pcm
48khz/96khz pcm: 96khz/24 bit
audio DRC: wide range
downmix: dolby surround
950 input set to DVD, analog but no sound. but when I connect the 550 via coaxial to the 950 I have sound. So not sure if it's the 950 connections or the 550 that is the problem. I hope someone can figure this out and help me out. thanks so much.
