    WD TV Live Streaming Media Player - firmware is up to date (1.06.04)
    Receiver: Cambridge Audio Azur 540R V2.0

    My receiver has no HDMI (in or out) so I have HDMI from WDTV to TV, and TV Audio out to the receiver.

    When I play videos, both channels work correctly

    When I play Music, the left channel is silent. I saw some posts in this forum, but I'm not sure I understand what the solution is. Will buying an Optical cable and running it directly from WDTV to the receiver solve my issue?

    I also saw something about switching the "red and white" cable, but I don't understand which cable - if I switch the red and white composite from the "TV Audio out" to listen to music, won't I also have to switch them back to watch tv again??

    No left channel for listening to music is a "deal breaker"!

    Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

    Moving to Live SMP > Audio.

    Yes, a TOSLink/optical cable from the WD TV to the receiver should fix things, besides resulting in better audio quality.

    I have resolved this issue - After a closer reading of a similar topic in this forum, I was able to figure out which cables to switch and how to do it. All is well. Thank you to the original poster and response.

    Here is a link to the helpful post: http://wdtvhd.com/index.php?showtopic=11179

    Thank you.
