    Why does my Denon 3803 not show OSD on dvd?

    Quote: Are you saying that your comp. out on the DVD player goes directly in the component in on the TV? if so, that is your problem. If not, i dunno. I remember when I demo'd a 3803 in a store that it put the OSD over a component signal. I haven't tried it with mine yet, but I will when I...

    Why does my Denon 3803 not show OSD on dvd?

    But my other equipment is upconverted to component. I use component output for all my stuff.

    Why does my Denon 3803 not show OSD on dvd?

    It does on other sources, but when I try to adjust channel levels or volume on the dvd, it doesn't display. Could this be because my dvd goes directly to component input?

    Tried all the buttons, no luck. All I get is mode and tone change. No channel levels.

    Just got my 3803 at the good price thanks to this forum. I hooked it up and everything works great. It sounds a little bright, but that can be fixed with tone controls. DPL II is fantastic, don't know how I got along without it. The S-Video to Component upconversion seems less that perfect...

    A kind soul by the name of Dre Witt once gave me these instructions, and I don't think he'd mind me posting them here: Disclaimer: I am not responsible for anything you do while you are in service mode... Blah, blah, blah... Make sure you have the Auto color off, the tint in the middle, and...
