chrissara Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi all - here is my issue. I have a 5.1 speaker set up. The set up is this. Pioneer 969AVI running a HDMI cable to a projector. Pioneer 969AVI running via optical to the Denon. Denon running 5.1 speaker set up (FL and FR are large speakers, Center is medium/shelf, RL and RR are shelf speakers and the subwoofer is well a subwoofer) Now doing a test tone on the Denon gets all the speakers. However when do a Dolby or DTS test via the Dolby/DTS demo disc or playing any Dolby movie e.g. Fifth Element, no sound comes out of the RL or RR speakers (but does out of all the others). The Denon shows Dolby and displays digital. It also shows DIRECT i.e. the sound source. What are the possible problems or what I am doing wrong?

Quark Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Try checking your output settings on the 969 - particularly whether the surrounds are enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvduser Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 For each source you need to set the video input as well as the audio input and how the audio is to be processed. Set the audio processing to "Auto" and turn Direct Off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka69 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Not sure if the 1906 is 7.1 but if it is make sure you haven't connected your rears to the surround back terminals. Also make sure your input mode is set to auto on your AVR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissara Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Apologies fellas - I have a 2105. The auto part did the trick though. Thanks for the help. Strange way Denon do there set-up. I find my older Pioneer 811S simpler to use, but then again it has less features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauty, another DTV forum success p.s. make sure you go thorugh all your inputs to set the video & audio to what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissara Posted January 28, 2007 Author Share Posted January 28, 2007 Thanks for that - problem is I do not know how too. The Denon manual is a tad complicated for me. How do I set the optical input to DVD (Auto)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physim Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 If it is the same as a 3805. You open the front flap, on the left hand side you will see a button labelled mode, press it until auto appears on the display of the avr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hakka69 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for that - problem is I do not know how too.The Denon manual is a tad complicated for me. How do I set the optical input to DVD (Auto)? I think he means assign an optical input to DVD, goto setup menu and look for 'digital in assignment' or something like that, set the dvd to whatever plaug you have connected eg. opt1, coax1 etc. Harry.
