Connections with Sony S-Link problems
I am having trouble getting my Sony S-Link hookup to work.
My DVD player and AV receiver are both behing cabinet doors. Therefore I want to link my TV to these components.
I have tried just about every configuration ( obviously I have missed at least one configuration because I have been unable to get it to work) and still no luck.
My components are all S-Link components:
TV- KV36FV15
DVD - DVPS330
Receiver - STR-DB930
I am able to control my DVD player with remote from the AV receiver through the daisy chained link to the dvd player, but for some reason I cannot control the receiver itself.
Any thoughts?
I have already checked out the s-link site at Sony and did not get much out of it.
http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/s-link/faq.html
Does anyone know another site that may have s-link FAQ?
Any help would be appreciated. I am tired of having to watch movies with the door of my entertainment center open.

Q- What products comprise a complete S-Link™ control system with audio and video equipment?
A- A complete S-Link control system is comprised of audio and video equipment. Audio products may be equipped with - and therefore can communicate through - the Control A1 function. Video products may be equipped with - and therefore can communicate through - the Control S function. An S-Link Receiver - which includes both the Control A1 and Control S functions - is also required in order to control both audio and video products.
