No sound for DVD, Blu-Ray, or Cox via digital.

Sony Blu-Ray BDP-S360
Lexicon DC-1 Digital Controller
2 Rotel RB-980BX powers amps (2x120 each)
Pair of Sony SS M3's (vertically biamped)

I use no effects, equalization, loundness, etc. The DC-1 is set to "Bypass." The Blu-Ray player is connected to the DC-1 via toslink. Unfortunately, I only get sound using this connection when playing a cd. If watching a DVD or Blu-Ray, I have to switch to rca's--same thing for my Cox Cable box. I contacted Lexicon Support, and they essentially shrugged. Is it worth taking the DC-1 to a repair shop to update something (is it the dac)? Am I instead better off waiting and replacing the unit down the road? Any guidance is much appreciated.

This is an AV receiver (6.1), so why would it need a two-channel signal?

"Bypass " bypasses effects such as Logic 7, Panorama, etc. The issue is unchanged with or without effects. I suppose that was an extraneous detail. Sorry for any confusion.

Since you are apparently only using a stereo signal Elizabeth is correct. If your going to use the coaxial or Toslink inputs on the Lex, you need to set the Bluray player to mix down the hi res signal to PCM stereo. You will probably get better sound out of the RCA outs though because the Toslink connector will not pass hi res audio and the analog outs will or a least your player will decode the hi res signal and output them through the RCA outs.
