is this problem with A/V receiver

[balajeem]

Hello all,

I use Denon 1306 AVR , the connection is as follows :

samsung DVD player->TV (not via HDMI )
coax audio output of DVD player -> Denon AVR 1306 coax input.

Now when I play the DVD ( ex: I played Lion King original DVD), the AVR doesn't sense the DTS/Dolby and doesn't decode the channels to L/R,Centre appropriately rather plays fine only in stereo mode or prologic or neo mode.

The option in AVR of "auto" select is chosen to enable AVR to detect the audio source automatically, even then it doesn't sense properly.

Whiel I explicitly set as "DTS", no sound from L or R or Centre channel.

NOTE: Am not evening using AVR for video. only for audio decoding.

This model does support DTS. It used to work fine.

Am I missing something ? Your suggestions are welcome.

or should I take it to a Denon service centre ?

Also the FM tuner doesn't work even if I insert a normal wire.

What is the settings in your DVD player?.. Have you set it to RAW (or) PCM?

If it it set to PCM, then your AVR will receive only 2 channel stereo signal... If it is RAW, then it will output 5.1 channels to AVR....

I owe you a treat , thanks , never realized this. It works perfectly now. It was indeed set to PCM, changed to bitstream, it works now

:thumbsup: I have tried this on my old Onida DVD player juz to find myself the difference.. Hence thought to check with you if you have missed some settings..

well, I was debugging many things such as cable, coax 1 and 2 slots in AVR, etc and finally thought something wrong with AVR. After you said realized that I changed my old pioneer DVD player to samsung recently that had default setting of PCM.

Tuner doesn't work though, have to figure it out, should be a simple one - let me try to figure it out.

thank you so much.

I use to think that I got cheated by asus, when my oplay played everything in 2 channel, the same way
