OSD not working (black screen)

can you provide a picture

can you attach it to an external monitor or tv to see if it is outputting anything?

I haven't been into amps or receivers for over a decade and bought one of these second hand, to say I was out of my depth is an understatement.

The abbreviation OSD was not particularly helpful in the instruction manual as I thought it would show on the small led display on the unit/amp but its actually for a TV screen. I ended up using only the yellow connector of a composite cable (yellow, red and white connectors) connecting it from the video out (no. 12 of reverse of unit) and making sure the TV was on the right input, in my case AV.

Once on the blue screen it told me what input it was currently on (same as displayed on amp). From here I just pressed the OSD button on the amp's remote control and navigated to the Ez setup using the black arrow buttons surrounding the (amp remotes) OK button. I tried pressing left and right to select the 5.1 setup I have, but it did nothing and seemed to recognise it was 5.1 (not 7.1) anyway. Hope this helps someone.

Details on how to do this will probably be in the service manual obtainable from

Hi,
There could be a problem with your display card settings or the display card itself. If you are using Windows operating system, make sure that you have the monitor driver installed for that specific monitor. This is to ensure that Windows only allows settings for which your particular monitor was designed.
Let me know if I can assist you any further regarding this.
Best wishes,

Hi There,
Does it seem to be staying black longer? Are there any unusual sounds associated with it?

With some receivers, the on-screen display is limited to a specific video output from the receiver to your TV.

I'm not 100% positive if that's the issue with yours, but it's likely.

If you're connected via Component or HDMI out, you may want to try S-video or composite video.

If that doesn't work, consult Denon to find out which output does your OSD.

The problem might be that the set can not handle the change in signal. Try setting the AVR-247 to 720P first then turning on the set. Or manually set the TV to receive 720P then change the AVR. TI believe that you have a connectivity issue where the two units are not speaking the same language at the same time. Update this with your results and please post the TV make and model.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi

Think you might have to use composite video out for the OSD menu to appear. Think I heard somewhere S-Video out doesn't work for.

Haven't tried yet on my own, but I will in time :)
