Buy a DVD player.

Does your HTiB have a setting to pass the audio off "to the TV" ?Which in your case, is to the Marantz.

You don't have a "DVD".You have a HTiB. Not the same thing.Here we've been trying to figure out how a DVD player isn't transmitting, but...no. it is HTiB.

How are you getting audio out of it at all?I have never, nowhere, ever seen a HTiB with "audio outputs". None.

What do you mean..."the DVD has own set" of speakers?If this is HTiB connected to AVR, 100% the problem.(But the asking you, twice, what this DVD player is...and coming back with "Pioneer HT DVD" makes sense now)

As soon as ARC was tied with CEC, it sucked.We get a bunch if threads about wonky things going on with TV, BD/DVD and audio components that the first thing I always ask..."Is your CEC on?""Yeah, why?""Turn all that crap off."While later..."Things work now."

By the way, things changing...1.4 to 2.0.CEC and ARC become mandatory specs.Meaning a brand spanking new Marantz with 2.0 and a brand spanking new Philips with 2.0...ARC and CEC are "guaranteed to function". (I'm just waiting to see just how many combinations there are...where that isn't going...

ARC is an HDMI 1.4 OPTIONAL specification.Like I already said.ARC, between brands, is not guaranteed to work. It has never been guaranteed to work on 1.4. Your owners manuals even say so.ARC works in 10 seconds...or it, period, does not work at all.Ask 100 members on this forum about their...

1. ARC is not guaranteed to work. Marantz should have a list of TV brands it works with in the manual. (Like Onkyo's RHID, which has to function, for ARC to function, only works with Samsung and Panasonic).2. Does the DVD player have any form of CEC? (The CEC is what allows ARC to function. If...

Make sure the HDMI audio OUTPUT is set off.That is a common mistake. Audio output setting is to listen to the news using the TV While still using the AVR video features.Easy way to check this...Turn the volume up on the TV, if you hear audio...you have that setting wrong.
