I'm using an analogue connection with my DVD player (haven't bought the digital coax yet). It sounds super in stereo mode. I even set up the dolby/DTS/CS2 etc, but nothing happens when I turn the big surround knob. It remains on stereo. It works with the remote but not manually. Help please!!
P.S.: I've posted this messageelsewhere too but nobody's replying.

If I were you I'd call the Marantz tech support line, they should be able to walk you through it and see if it might be a factory defect.
I've never used fascia selector but try taking off the auto setting. But, I think this will only work with the digital connections. The analogue connections bypass everything but the volume control.
Not too sure if this would be the cause, but check if you are on "Stereo Direct" mode. I doubt it would make a difference, but try to change to any other surround mode from the remote and then check.
Have you looked in the manual? IIRC on my 5400 there's a button or two under the knob to set it's function.

I'd go with bumblebee's suggestion. In all probability, you're using the 5.1 out of the DVD player & connecting the same to the 5.1 in of the 4400. In this case, you need to use the 5.1 input mode (not auto) on the 4400. Also check if you've enabled 2-channel downmix on the DVD player, tho I don't think so, 'cause then it wouldn't work with the remote.
In either case, I'd suggest you to go pick up a digital cable & end your problems altogether...
