First of all, let me just say thank you for taking the time to look into this as deeply as you have -- I really appreciate it.

The connections you've described are indeed the connections I have, at the moment. The trouble is, first, that I have past experience running the audio signal direct from the stereo RCA outs on the player to the amp, and the same problem has occurred (I think it has something to do with the fact that there are a troubling surfeit of different places to make adjustments to the sound). Second, I've just bought an Arcam FMJ-A22 integrated, and it's got a space on the back for an optical digital input that I was hoping to use -- both for improved fidelity and because the FMJ-A22 is equipped with a DAVE module for generating 5.1 sound, and will eventually be employed in a true 5.1 system. I'm loathe to hook the DVD player to the boring old analog RCA's on the back of an amp that is optical-digital capable.

If you aren't completely bored with this already (and who could blame you?) the pages of the owner's manual where all the trouble seems to be are 23-24, 42-43, and 65-66. Between them I count about eleven different menu settings, any one of which could be causing internal confusion for the player.

One more favor: even if you don't want to mess with this anymore, could you post the link to the owner's manual? I've got this same question up in several other forums and a few other people have been dutifully trying to help.
