Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Help with my new denon receiver

my new system is finally here, after enjoying my m60's for almost a month, the 150 and the qs8's arrived the other day with my new denon 2807 receiver. there is just one or two or three problems, (i need some help ). no audio when using my dvd player. i'm using a coaxial cable from my dvd player to my receiver and i think i set up the receiver correctly to accept coax#2 but still no audio, could it be that my dvd player is the problem, is there a way to check? analog connectors work. is there something else on the receiver to set up? my other questions is, the bass that is being sent to my new svs 25-30 seems to be delayed, is there an adjustment on the receiver or sub to correct this. maybe i'm to excited for everything to work and missed a step.
thanks to anyone with helpful tips, i'm getting frustrated.

Hang in there, deadline. I don't have a Denon receiver, but I do have a 2900 player, and one thing is for certain--Denon manuals are horrendously difficult to understand. Others will chime in soon enough. You may have to wait until morning, though.

I feel for you. It sucks getting new stuff and not be able to enjoy it right away.

Unless you've got a bad coaxial cable, you probably need to set up your dvd player to send out a dolby digital signal. What dvd player do you have?

I think Richeydog is on to something. You not only have to set up your receiver to for the correct digital input when you select "DVD," but you often have to set up the DVD player to send out the proper "bit stream"? (not sure it that's the right term). Do let us know what player you are using.

Yeh i think that is what u have to do . I know i have an HK an in the set-up i had to have it say Video 1/Analog( for TV) an so forth i have the Denon 2200 i have it to Video 1/Coax ( For DVD/CD ) so u might look in that direction also i think i did that in the Denon properties so hopefully it will point u in the right Direction

UH-OH! It's Ray time.

Make sure you have coax2 assigned to DVD and check the audio setup on your DVD player for the correct digital input. One thing that might help the sub is if you use the auto setup with the mic to calibrate your distances and levels.

thanks for the suggestion, after not seeing any controls on the dvd player last night i got frustrated. my better half had a suggestion this morning, find the remote, i now have audio. i do have another question or two, am i correct in thinking that you sould only hear dialoge from the center speaker? right now all my speakers are sending out full audio.

On your remote you can select different standard, cinema, music, etc, settings. Toggle through them.

Doug's reply refers to the Dolby ProLogic modes. If I understand your question correctly, when playing a source with Dolby Digital 5.1, or DTS 5.1, the center channel will carry whatever the person who did the audio mix sent to the center channel. Sometimes that will be dialog only, but most often it's everything, dialog, music, sound effects, etc. So having "full audio" in the center channel is perfectly normal.
