    Denon 2803 - Problem chaning "Modes"

    Thanks Brian, that got it. My remote is not intuitive relative to getting it on AMP mode. The LCD doesn't display that either. On my remote you have to hit CD, Tape or one other button to effectively put it in AMP mode. Weird. Regardless, you were right on.

    Using 5.1 DVD with a 7.1 Receiver

    John G, I'm a novice so much of what you said is over my head. I'm a little confused though. I thought 6.1 introduced a surround/rear center and 7.1 introduced a rear center L and R. So, you comment of there's no such thing as 7.1 throws me off. Plus, why does my receiver say 7.1? I...

    Using 5.1 DVD with a 7.1 Receiver

    Thanks Jeremy. I should have added more info... My Denon 2200 DVD player has a (presumably better than my receiver) DD/DTS decoder built it, so the 6 (5.1) channels are already converted to analog. The receiver should receive the proper sound stream for each speaker via the 5.1 analog input...

    Using 5.1 DVD with a 7.1 Receiver

    I have a 7.1 Denon 2803 receiver that is wired for 7.1 speakers. I'm in the process of buying a 6 channel SACD/DVDA cable to play DTS. My question, now that I'm not using my receiver to encode or fake 7.1 with the optical input source from my 5.1 DVD player, how do I wire the analog cable such...

    Denon 2803 - Problem chaning "Modes"

    Thanks to both John's for replying. John G's tip didn't get it on this particular remote but I gave it a whirl. Brian W, my LCD won't read AMP regardless what I've tried. I still can't get it to work. What's really odd is that the only device/mode that responds to the remote is the Cable/DBS...

    Denon 2803 - Problem chaning "Modes"

    I have a 2803 with a number of components hooked up to it (DVD, HD Cable box, CD, VCR and a HD projector). My issue is that I can only change the modes by using the Function/Mode knob on the main unit. Using the remote to toggle through the modes only changes which item is lit on the remote...
