      Timothy TaylorAug 17, 2025
      If your Onkyo DVD Player isn't producing any sound, there could be several reasons: * If you are using the digital output, check that the [Digital Out] setting is set to [On]. * Ensure that the volume level of your TV or amplifier is turned up and not set to the minimum. * If the DVD or CD is recorded in DTS audio, connect the digital output on the player to the digital input on a receiver or amplifier with a built-in DTS decoder. * If the Setup screen Audio menu [96 kHz PCM Out] setting is set to [96 kHz], either connect using the analog outputs, or set [96kHz PCM Out] in the Audio menu to [96kHz 3 48 kHz]. * Make sure that the pause mode is not engaged by pressing 3 or 8 to exit the pause mode. * Verify that you've selected the correct sound signal conversion method.

      If the screen appears stretched or the aspect ratio doesn't change on your Onkyo DVD Player, adjust the aspect setting in the [TV Screen] setting in the Setup screen Video 1 menu to the screen type most appropriate to your TV or monitor. If you're using an S-Video cord, switching the output from [S2] to [S1] might help.

      Leah PetersonSep 6, 2025
      If the brightness is unstable or noise is visible on the playback picture of your Onkyo DVD Player, it may be due to copy protection being activated. Try connecting the DVD Player directly to the TV, avoiding connections through a VCR.
