Not likely that all those things are faulty.
The TV and DVD player make and model would be helpful to know. I would recommend running its BEST digital audio to the receiver and its stereo analog audio to the TV just in case you want to watch and hear the DVD in a lo-fi setting without the Denon. I generally advocate for connecting anything high-end (audio or video) ONLY to equipment that can use it or enhance it. Otherwise you may just be wasting expensive cable and adding unnecessary hops and connections that can fail.
Why do you want the audio to go from the DVD to the TV through the Denon? Are there no speakers on the Denon? Modern TV's have lots of inputs for the flexibility I recommend but rarely have decent audio or speakers.
thanks dunnbiker for the response... but to answer your question, I do not yet have my 5 surround speakers, and my TV is wall mounted approx. 20 ft from my receiver station... hdmi is already prewired behind the wall from tv back to the receiver... so to keep everything neat and together, I was trying to run, or pass thru, my dvd player through the receiver with audio through
the tv speakers for now until I get my surround speakers....
There is an HDMI Audio-Out-to-the-TV setting (page 57 of the manual).
HDMI, does carry both audio and video. I believe you already answered your own question. I believe the input to your tv from your receiver, is selected to analog or digital, as you can only run one type. If you have a question about whether the receiver is good, simply connect it to a know good receiver. The same goes for the tv. Just plug a set of RCA cables to the input and provide it with another source. If you don't have another source, you can just touch the ends of the cables now going to your tv. If you hear a buzz, you know that the tv input is good as well.
