Optical Audio Issues...
I bought a new HTS last night a Panasonic SC-BTT270
I have also have the Uverse DVR VIP1225, and a Vizio VW37L
The HTS & DVR are connected to the TV by HDMI.
I have the Audio Optical from the DVR to the HTS, But there is no sound coming from the DVR to the HTS, Well apart from 2 HD programs I recorded last night, (Last Man Standing & Man Up), in which the HTS had sound coming through it..
I have tried all the comination of settings on the TV, DVR & HTS....
What could be the issue??

OK, please download the manual for your Panasonic HTS here:
http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/support/Audio/Home-Theater/Home-Theater-Systems/model.SC-BTT270
Follow the instructions on page 38 to turn the "PCM FIX" option "Off" for the "Digital In" input. This should correct the issue.

Check this out.....
?
I accidently turned over to a SD channel and the Audio through the HTS came through its speaks, (not sure if its Surround Sound or not).... Turn it back to a HD channel the HTS does not get audio....
Could it be that the DVR disables Optical Audio if a HD channel is viewed via the HDMI cable but is enabled while viewing a SD channel via HDMI?

Please NO SD stretch-o-vision or 480 SD HD Channels
1-800-288-2020, After he gets acct info, press # a bunch of times, get a menu from Mr. Voice recognition
Your Results May Vary, In My Humble Opinion
I Call It Like I See It, Simply a U-verse user, nothing more

The behavior you're describing indicates that your new HTS does not accept 5.1 Dolby Digital over the optical connection, but instead accepts only 2.0 PCM.
You can set the setting to "Stereo" to downconvert the audio to 2.0 channel, or you'll have to see if the HTS will accept multi-channel audio over HDMI.
What brand and model HTS is this?
