Arcam AVR300 problem

My amp seems to have dificulty reading the audio signal coming from the DVD player. I'm running a digital cable only, but the amp reads it as analogue so I get no sound. It used to work fine so the set-up is fine. It used to try to switch back and forth, but now I get nothing.

Has anyone else had this trouble and know how to deal with it? Arcam hasn't returned my email yet so I thought I'd try you guys. Any ideas or possible solutions?

Thanks -
Matthew

New mains boards on the AVR350 were initiated after SN#s AVR3505419 if that is a help at all.

My AVR350 will not recognize the CD input until I turn the CD player off and on again. Could this be the same problem?

Also, regarding the warranty, I thought the warranty was only 2 years, and not 3. Is that so?

I'm so glad i stumbled on this thread...my 350 stopped getting signal from my optical cable via the DVD...I moved it to the SAT input which now works but I just left it there...was dumbfounded...now it makes sense! Thanks

I am having same problem here with the AVR350, can anybody provide information on how to fix this?
I read somewhere someone saying that it is just a matter of changing one capacaitor, but not saying which?
If that is main board issue, where can I get such boards?
costs..?

Anyone knows about good shop around sacramanto to get it fixed?
I hear this is a known problem with low quality diods on power supply for DSP - if anyone knows which are they, I could replace them myself
