You need to assign the optical input to the video input you are using. It's under the 'Input Setup' menu.

Or use HDMI, it will output the audio thru the HDMI connection. Once again assign the input under the Input Setup menu (press the Menu button on remote to access setup menus)

There is a control on the receiver for digital input - make sure it is set that way and not in the analog position.

RE: Denon AVR 3300 - I cannot get the system setup menu to display on Phillips P50PFP5332D tv screen? All connected components work and sound great, but I cannot see Denon's Setup menu on tv to a

I understand, it's something I've misunderstood on my denon avr-790 as well when connected to a samsung 8000 series led tv.
The answer isn't in the receiver's settings (you can be on whatever source you want on the receiver end when toggling the menu). You need to toggle through the tv's sources to find the menu (usually found on hdmi 1). I've spent towards an hour recently troubleshooting only to find that it was the tv's source that wasn't set properly and I was trying to change the receiver's settings instead of the tv's source.
Hope that helps!

Purchased Apple TV. TV does not have HDMI. How do we hook up to sound system?

Just use a normal stereo cable with the 3.5 jack ..take a look and see what kinda in-let has for sound in ..and use a cable ..It will take teh sound automatically or you will have to choose the port ..
If you use a VGA connection for image .this is kinda needed..For a euro-scrart will take the sound for the TV stations auto ..if you use a receiver ..The separate sound is only needed for to hook up a computer or a dvd player ..(for the last one use rca cable )
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector
U can also use this rca cable for a computer if it has such a exit for image and use a jack to rca for sound ..in case it only has a rca in-let for sound ..

I try to plug apple TV to my Bose sytem lifestyle 20. The apple TV is plugged by hdmi on my TV (hdmi2). The apple tv image is good but the sound is coming from my tv not from my bose system. i decided to...

You might want to try connecting the Apple TV to your TV using HDMI, then using the optical cable from your TV to your Bose system. In your TV's settings, there should be an Audio Output option. You'll want to turn off the TV speakers. Optical audio can be a little strange compared to traditional analog. If your cord is going bad, it could result in behavior like you described.
