Sound cuts out

I intermittently lose sound on my AVR 2803. I have the AVR connected to a satellite dish using RCA cables and fios using hdmi cables. Sometimes the volume comes back if I change channels or input sources. the problem seems to be more prevalent when watching HD channels. The unit is not overheated and again the volume does work when the input source or channel is changed.

This sounds to me as an issue not with your AVR but with your cable unit. I have seen this where there is a sample rate issue with the cable boxes. I would try to get another cable box, and see if the issue persists.

How do I get HDMI cables to sync or talk to each other. We had this problem when we hooked up an Apple TV box to a Denon AVR-E400 and our Sony HD TV. We were told to disconnect all HDMI cables unplug

Personally I would use an RCA cable and hook up the AVR.
((RCA out of TV to AVR audio in))
((cable box HDMI cable output to TV HDMI Input1))
(As far as the AppleTv I would use a separate HDMI Input2)
If your AVR has a dvd or blue ray player Hook up a
HDMI cable out to another Input HDMI3 of the TV
using separate inputs on the tv will allow your surround system to be
used on all modes(CABLE,DVD/BLUERAY,APPLETV)

I'm using receiver AVR 2309 and now I would like to connect my cable TV set top box which has HDMI port with this receiver. Which HDMI port (DVD/HDP/VCR or V.AUX) on this receiver should I connect

The DVD/HDP/VCR port will give you the high definition sound properties. If not then connect the set top to your receiver via RCA cables... red/white/yellow

Hi, just connected a Blu Ray player to my sytem. I connected the player via HDMI direct to the TV and the audio output direct into Optical 2 on the Denon. Problem is that there is no sound. Also...

We can't make assumptions about proper and complete setup if you don't explicitly mention the steps involved, so... did you assign and select the digital inputs properly?

Page 23 etc

BTW: I concur with your decision to send the video directly to the TV from the BD even though Denon and others expect it to make a hop through the receiver first.

Get into your BD and find its audio out setup. Make sure its settings for digital audio output bit rates, speaker presence, type, size, distance and bass-handling are set correctly.

Unhooked all lines in back of tv cant remember to rehook up have2

granmabj,

There are common connections to each receiver but there are unique connections also depending on the receiver. Solo receivers have a coax cable coming from the Dish outside connected to Satellite In. Duo receivers and DVR HD receivers have the coax cable that comes from the dish outside that connects to Satellite 1 and Satellite 2 using a splitter. There is also a cable (coax, RCA (yellow, white, red) or component (green, blue, red - video, white, red - audio) or an HDMI if HD) connected from the receiver to the TV 1. For a duo receiver TV 2 may be backfed on the cable coming from the dish outside using diplexers. This may sound confusing but you can call 1-800-333-3474 for assistance.

Problem when switching on Denon AVR 2803

The sound you describe is usually a mechanical noise from the transformer/case work. Home theater amps tend to have quite large transformer in what is, due mainly to its size, a rattly cabinet.

Over time, the lamination inside the transformer can loosen which could explain why it has only just started doing.

Alternatively, one assumes you moved the amp when connecting the new kit? This may have let the case work rest in a new way which is proving susceptible to relaying the vibration caused by the transformer as an audible noise on switch on.

No dish network sound through denon 1609 receiver

check the setting for the HDMI connection at the Denon you may have to assign the HDMI audio setting also on the front of the Denon while in the DVR mode press the input mode button on the front of the Denon to select auto and if that doesn;t give you sound you will have to connect a cable from the DVR optical.coaxial or analog audio output to the Denon and setup for that type of audio connection
