Question No sound when playing Blu-ray audio disc through amplifier?

[JC1018]

I'm probably doing something obviously wrong but I'm a bit stumped.

I'm trying to play (for the first time) a Blu-ray audio disc from my Samsung BD-F5100 Blu-ray player through my hi-fi (Marantz amplifier). I've connected the Blu-ray player via a coaxial cable to a digital to analog converter and from there to the amplifier via RCA (?) red and white cables.

However, there is no sound when playing a Blu-ray audio disc. I've tried a CD in the Blu-ray player and that plays fine through the amplifier.

What am I doing wrong? It's probably really obvious but I just can't think.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When you play a CD that would be PCM stereo automatically but not with a BD disc.
Most likely the DAC you purchased will not accept a bitstream input. You should be able to change the digital output of the BD player to PCM stereo in the player set up menu.

Thanks for the reply, I'll try that.
