help with B&K Ref 30

I have some questions about the on screen display on my Ref 30. Except for DVD Audio,whenever I watch a DVD movie the on screen display reads "DVD analog 2.0 48K", DTS or DD. The same holds true for watching satellite. The processor is in either the surround 6 or 7 mode. I get sound from all 5 or 7 speakers. I have a digital coax interconnect from the DVD player to the B&K for audio, as does my Satellite. I would think the on screen display would read "digital 5.1 or 6.1 48k".I have my DVD player set to output the digital bitstream and I go into the DVD dics' menu and choose either DD or DTS. What's with this? Is this how it's suppose to be?

I had the similar problem when I first hooked up mt Ref 30. It was because I did not configure my DVD player to output the digital signal. Thus do some setup on your DVD player instead of on the B&K Ref 30.

Also, there is probably and audio setting in your Satellite receiver that will enable the digital out to transmit 5.1 when available. My Ref30 behaved like yours on Satellite, until I changed the setting on my Satellite receiver

I had exactly this problem. Most likely what happened is that the digital connector INSIDE the B&K has fallen off in shipping. It connects to the top of the unit, so it can wiggle off. Just open up your B&K and re-connect it. It is the wide, flat connector.

This is a known problem and they are looking into locking connections.
