No sound on stand alone player

[turdburglar]

I recently backed up spiderman cartoon series (2 discs) and had trouble with dvd20nex (not enough space on disc) so i compressed it twice and it worked, it played fine on the mac, when i tried it a month later it had no sound on the pioneer stand alone player. This is the first time i have had this problem. can someone please help me with this.

What kind of audio track is it? If it is mp2 audio, you might find that it is not automatically sent out of the optical output of the DVD player, but is only outputted through the analogue RCA jacks. At least that is the case with my Panasonic. You can either re-author the disk with AC3 audio or look for a setting on the player that says something like "MPEG Audio - PCM out" which converts and send it out through the optical link.

This is where i feel really dumb, i had a mate over and he changed the audio selection on the player to dts 2 ch and now it works. As this is the first time i have had this problem i didn't even think to look at the settings on the player, thanks anyway for putting in the time mhar4
