Pioneer VSX919AH and Sky HD DD5.1 input

[admin_exported]

I appreciate there have been posts on a similar problem before regarding separating the HDMI video and DD5.1 output via a receiver but want to make sure I'm not missing something as I spent yestrday afternoon unable to resolve and think its not possible with this receiver per the table from the manual below.

As far as I can see there is no way to tell the receiver to take the video feed from the HDMI input and the sound from the Optical input. You can reassign an input but my issue whether the HDMI feed will always override the optical input?

Any suggestions ' help would be most appreciated

Hi there,

if you look on the remote and press number 1 (signal select) the amp should cycle through the various audio inputs. Just stop at optical and you should see 'dolby digital' light up on your amp.

Thanks Andy - (sorry about the page formatting btw). Yes I tried this yesterday with much pressing and shouting at said remote

but it resolutely wouldn't scroll - jsut stayed on the same one. It got me little worried it might be faulty but was keen to press on and solve the (hopefully bigger) problem.

Just a suggestion, but make sure you press 'Receiver' on the remote (button at the bottom) before you start. Also, do you have Kuro link or control function enabled? Try disabling these and trying again.

Thanks for your suggestion. I had noticed and tried that fully expecting to be able to see the input changed from greyed out to accessible but alas no. I'll keep working on it and post if I solve the issue.
