Help: Marantz MCR511 iPlayer and ITV Hub 'Unsupported audio format'

[dwjoll]

Hi there

I recently purchased a Marantz MCR511 which I use to watch TV (H6400) via optical.

Everything works fine watching normal TV, but when I access iPlayer or ITV Hub via the Smart Apps the audio does not play and a message pops up on the front of the Marantz saying 'Unsupported format' or something like that.

Annoyingly the only way I can get sound to work is to disable the digital audio out and revert back to using the inbuilt TV speakers.

Any ideas? I'm stuck.

The amp is a 2 channel amp, as a guess the apps use a digital audio format something like dolby digital 2.0 that the amp and decode.

If your TV has analogue phono output you could connect that to the phono inputs on your amp and the TV would have already decoded the audio to analogue.
