Congratulations Dan, but I'm sure that many of our senior members are just as shocked as I am that you find the Denon manual difficult. Just kidding, of course, and this has been a frequent topic of discussion in the past as to how the manuals suck. I'm glad that you solved your CD sound problem, as I don't do a full HTPC(only USB sound output to receiver for streaming classical internet stations)and I certainly wouldn't have figured it out.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
