My 3801 stopped sending sound to the surround sound system when
playing DVD's. It seems to perform just fine playing VCR's or off the
tuner.

I have checked the DVD-in cables (S-Video and Coax) and all
connections appear solid at both ends.

Another recent change that may, or may not be related is that the
illuminated display blanks out after a few seconds. Does not attect
playback in VCR or Tuner mode, but started happening about the time
the DVD sound began getting flakey.

Anybody have any ideas on what might be going on and whether it is a
repairable situation?

Thanks in advance.

Try re-initializing the microprocessor according to your owner's manual.
Probably not much else you can do yourself.
