Push control back to digital or where it was originally! Or play stu--d and just get outta there.

Have you checked the scart leads. They are really good at causing these kinds of problem.

You need to do the input assign. The receiver doesn't yet know that you plugged a cable in to one of the Optical ports. If you have done the above, then the next thing is to check the amp's Mode button. This cycles the input between Optical and analogue audio inputs.
