Yes gonk, that was me on HTF. :^)

I was kinda hoping for an outlaw to step in when I posted over here, but oh well.

Anyhow, the past occurences have been due to my 1-2-3 list. Dear, sweet Dad claims all he did was pause or turn off the movie, and presto, no sound. They typically get resolved by my making a road trip, but I was trying to short-circuit that.

There is an analog CD player & vcr player hooked up, which of course works fine. I'm still convinced its something along the lines of digital input or outputted signal,cause the digitial signal triangles are blinking, which the manual reports as not having a digitial signal on the selected input.

I'm just thankful the internet lets me browse the manual & look at pictures online, so I can tell him press the 2nd button from the left, label X, etc. But I'm thinking a road trip is in the works.

Thanks for the help! I'll figure it out once I make it over there, I was just hoping for an obvious one some other owner ran across.
