I just downloaded your player's manual and re-read your original post.

It seems you're taking the audio by HDMI to the TV then using the TV's 2 channel analog outlets to take a signal to the amp. You did not mention an audio connection directly between the player and the amp so I'm assuming you don't have one. The problem may not be with the player. It may be with how the TV handles a surround sound input and what it passes to its analog outputs.

Try the following:

Leave the HDMI cable to the TV alone because it's going to take the video signal.

The DVD player only has a pair of stereo analog outs so it will supply a downmixed signal to those outs. Disconnect the analog interconnect from the TV and connect it to the analog outs on the DVD player. Now you're passing an analog stereo signal direct from the player to the amp. How does that sound? If that works, leave things that way. Remember that audio is still going via HDMI to the TV so turn the TV sound off when you try this. You don't want to confuse things with sound from the TV's speakers as well as from your other speakers.

If that doesn't work then I'm at a loss because it should work from what I quickly read in the manual but I only checked the connections section and didn't read the whole thing.
