Hi, Typically when you use the optical connector from a DVD player there are several steps to getting everything ready to hear sound.
First: The Marantz Receiver will have a setup menu option for changing the DVD player to "optical" or it will say "digital" input. Once this is done, you should immediately get Sound. Secondly, the DVD player (may) have an option to be switched to a digital output through the optical port. You would be able to find this out with it's user manual. I really hope this helps, Best Regards, Mark
