    Ive a Panasonic BluRay DVD player from about 3 years ago. (DMP -BD45). Switched on today and no sound from DVD player. The picture is fine, also when I stick a USB in the sound still works. Any suggestions? Or is it a dead duck?

    Sound options on that player are limited.

    You have Optical , Stereo Analog , or HDMI .... Which one are you using ?

    Assuming you didnt change the setup of the player for the USB content , and you got sound off that material , then the issue is a setup issue.
    Different material has different sound formats , you must set the player up to supply the sound format that the screen or amp its connected to can handle.

    Thanks. Its a HDMI out to an AV receiver. I didn't change any settings. Just turned it on on the evening and nothing. As I said, its picking up a USB inserted into the dvd player so seems solely related to dvd playing. Settings appear fine, not changed as I said. Would sound pick-up just go like that? I have a 12 year old dvd player somewhere else still going strong.

    There is no "sound pickup" , data is read off the disc , audio and video data are separated , audio goes to be decoded or whatever is required , video goes to be processed depending on settings , and audio and video are then sent in the same data stream to the receiver.
    With HDMI audio is inserted into the video blanking intervals.

    So , there is no sound circuitry to go wrong really !
    If HDMI is your only connection , and audio from material on the USB stick travels fine over it , then it is simply a menu setup stopping audio from the discs.

    There will be a lot of audio setup options , you will need to trawl through them and find out which one is causing the problem.

    Usually , most players are happy set to "bitstream" , meaning it sends data to the receiver as is , however if your receiver is not able to decode some formats , Dolby Tru HD or DTS Ma Audio or something like that , then you will hear nothing.

    So , trawl through the settings , make a note of them , then post the model of the receiver and the settings on here if you dont spot anything obvious and need further help !
