I was using my vsx D510 with a hiteker dvd player

I was using my Pioneer VSX D510 with a Hiteker dvd player and coaxial input cable. Dolby Digital sound worked great. Now i'm trying to connect a Panasonic blue ray player using the optical digital input instead of the coaxial input and can't get any sound out of the receiver when it is set on DVD/DVR. Is there something you have to do to switch it over from coaxial to optical? I am no longer using the coaxial input.

Each digital input is assigned a name and a function by you. You have to dig out the manual and assign the digital inputs.

My $.02. Why do you not want to use the coaxial imputs? There is no functional superiority of one over the other BUT coaxial is a) cheap, since it uses standard RCA cables; b) adaptable, since you can splice or split them among two devices; c) not delicate or prone to failure due to tight bends. I share one coaxial input between two digital device with an RCA splitter cable. Just have to make sure to turn the one I'm not using OFF. Try that with optical.

How do I get the powered subwoofer to work with a pioneer VSX-D510
You plug a subwoofer RCA cable into the Subwoofer Preout from the back of the VSX-D510 and to the input on the back of the subwoofer. If there is a red / white connection don't sweat it, just use the red. Should work fine.

You're probably not looking at the receiver's manual. IT has settings to permit and assign digital inputs.

I need Motorola cable codes
TRY these, 014, 039, 044, 069, 168, 116, 035, 198, 480, 556, or if this is possible use the Auto/Seach method where the remote shuffles through all the codes until the unit responds.

Pioneer VSX-D608 Optical connection
The manual states that the default association of each digital input in as follows:
  • Optical 1: CD
  • Optical 2: MD
  • Optical 3: TV
  • Coax: DVD
Use the "Signal select" button to set the receiver to use a digital input, and the Dolby/DTS button (above "Signal select") to enable decoding.

As samz11 stated above, a remote is required to alter the digital input mapping.

No sound
you have the co-axial and optical inputs both set to a specific input? ie. For my xbox 360, I use optical. so I set my optical to DVD, and then I have to set the receiver to DVD to get the sound.

Pioneer vsx-d510 coaxial dvd connection problem
Hello,
I recommend you use an optical connection. Your VSX-D510 has only one optical input, but I believe it is assignable. Use a good optical cable and connect directly to your DVR. Follow the manual to assign the input and it should work.
Good luck

Video input not recognized for LD and DVD
By coaxial, do you mean the composite (yellow)? Either way you have to use the same style no matter what the cable. I mean, if you have s-video's IN to the reciever then you need S-videos OUT to the TV. ....Component IN to the reciever? then Component OUT to the TV. And so on. You cant have composite cords going into the reciever and use a component cord out to the TV (with the exception of a few models).
