Page 1 of Help! - No audio from my Denon AV1602 whilst playing a DVD.

Hello

I`ve recently moved house, so obviously my priority was setting the home cinema up! After connecting everything up the same as before, I was puzzled as to why there is no sound whilst playing a DVD. I have a Sony NS300 (think thats the model number - bog standard player) and a Denon AV1602. I have the DVD player connected by coaxial and the setting on the amp to coaxial for DVD. I`ve also set up the DVD as having a digital out...but still no sound! The wierd thing is that when the amp is set to DVD, I turn the sound up to max, and the sound from my SKY+ can be heard coming from the speaker very faintly. Also, when the DVD is playing (silently) the display omn the amp shows that it is analog and not dolby digital. Can anyone suggest what is going on? My next step is to buy a optical cable to connect my SKY+ to the amp, so if I still can`t get the DVD to work - can I use the audio jacks that were used on the sky to the amp, on the DVD player to the amp? I know this is a lengthy question..but this is really puzzling me!!

Do your amp and dvd player have analogue (phono) sockets? If so, do you get sound if you use them to connect the dvd to your amp?

It won`t solve your problem (well, not properly anyway), but it would probably rule out some possible causes. :D

I`ll try that tonight. This way, will it still produce dolby digital sound?

No it won`t - it will just be analogue stereo/dolby pro logic.
Looking at your problem it is likely to be one of:-
1) the AV amp is set up incorrectly (but you said you have selected digital input) and it could therefore be knackered
2) the DVD player is set up incorrectly - I`m not familiar with your player so don`t know what other settings it may have
3) the coaxial lead is either not connected correctly or is knackered.

Sorry I can`t be any more help.
