cannot get optical input to work on denon avr 1713
Hi all I have just connnected my panasonic gt42 via optical cable to my denon avr 1713 amp and it isn't working I can see the red light of the laser projecting out of the interconnect but no mater what input I select it makes no difference ie no sound many thanks for any help with this one I am not realy that ofay with av
Have you taken the plastic caps off the interconnect and got a firm connection at each end?
Other than that (I didn't take the cap off once, which is why I suggested 
) make sure settings are correct for output in TV and input in amp.
We're all really well, thanks for asking Baby boy has recently started sitting up and is a little delight:
I hope you and your family are doing well also and that you have a great Christmas

Hey there,
not sure if you successfully resolved you issue yet, but I had a similar problem, everything was set up correctly, I could see the red light from the cable but the AVR did not register anything..
The solution was very simple, a new cable was needed. Apparently, seeing the red light indicates next to nothing. 
My cable was treated well and was maybe 3 years old. I also never heard of an optical cable gone bad, but that is just what happened.
Hope this helps.
Martin
