What kind of music does the Denon AVR 2307 play?
The AVR-2307 is a well-specified, well-built, and well-featured receiver with a penchant for bass, beat music and action movies. That’s no bad thing, of course; the Denon just has a distinct focus.
What to do when there is no sound on your TV?
IMPORTANT: Verify that the source you are playing is encoded with Surround Sound audio. If not, the audio will be very difficult to hear using a Surround Sound setting. Set Surround Sound to OFF when playing a source that is not encoded with a Surround Sound signal. Check each speaker to make sure they are properly connected to the A/V receiver.
How to troubleshoot if there is no sound or…?
Check that there are no headphones connected. Check if the issue also occurs to other device connected to the TV. You may try to changing the TV channel or play back a movie on a DVD player. Try different cables to verify this is not a bad set of cables.
What should I do if my AV receiver turns itself off?
Replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage and voltage (available from electronics parts stores such as RadioShack for about 50 cents a pop) and you should be back in business. If, after your fix, the receiver powers on, but then turns itself off after a few minutes, it’s possible something is physically damaged inside.
What to do if your AV receiver is on the Fritz?
If your receiver is still on the fritz, you may have blown a real fuse. Some receivers have a screw-in fuse in the back of the unit that can be removed and inspected easily, while others may have one or more fuses inside the case–you may have to unplug the unit, remove the case and root around inside to see.
Why is there no sound coming from my TV?
No TV sound is output from the receiver. Check the type and connection of the HDMI cable, optical digital cable, or audio cable that is connected to the receiver and the TV (refer to the supplied Startup Guide).
Is it possible that my AV receiver is toast?
A: It’s possible that your receiver is toast, but don’t give up hope yet. There are two things to check. Many modern receivers have “protection circuits,” bits of specialized hardware that recognize dangerous levels of volume and shut your hardware down, like a digital fuse. Some receivers communicate this on the display.
