No sound on Television RCA Audio Out when playing DVDs

[admin_exported]

I have Sony RDR-HXD995 DVD recorder connected to Pioneer KRL32V LCD TV with HDMI cable.

To get the synchronised sound I use TVs RCA Audio Out connected to the my hifi amplifier (I have not invested in AV amp yet).

This works perfectly with RDR-HXD995 when playing TV broadcasts, HDD recorded programs. However when I play DVDs the sound on TV Audio out is muted while transmitted ok to the tv speakers.

When RDR-HXD995 is connected directly to the HiFi amp with RCA Audio Out I get the sound on all media (DVD, CD, Divx, VCD, tuner)

When RDR-HXD995 is connected to the TV with HDMI and then the TV connected to HiFi amp with RCA Audio Out I do get the sound for some DVDs (e.g. British Film Institute releases, older DVDs, most foreign releases, home made DVDs), all CDs, Divx, VCds,

When RDR-HXD995 is connected to the TV with scart there is no issue with sound being muted on TVs RCA audio out.

Would I have the same issue if I use Sony DVD recorder with Sony TV or Pioneer DVD recorder with Pioneer TV?

Would the sound on TVs Digital Audio Out be muted in the same way?

In the audio settings try setting the output to PCM instead of Dolby Digital.

Hi

I tried it and there is no difference.

I asked Sony and their comment was that the root cause may be HDCP.

Can you chack on your equipment ifyou get the same?

Thanks
