Denon AVR988 Logo

Denon AVR988 seems to be switching modes while playing; sound shuts off. When playing a bluray disc, the previews play with sound, movie doesnt. Also loses audio while watching tv. we are using all hd

Older model we bought used, in an unopened box. worked perfect for about a month. First the radio stopped working, then other things slowly stopped working over about a week. Now only works for 2 or 3 minutes before quitting - but the power doesnt shut off, just switches into random modes with no sound. Any thoughts before I chuck it out the window?

SOURCE: Denon AVR 1705-no audio on TV

I have had the same problem and was told that it is a "board" inside. Essentially it has lost the surround sound ability and can only play things in Direct/Stereo. Mine is just over 2 years and I originally thought my kids had hit a button on the thing causing the issue...ended up paying $100 to trouble shoot it and confirm that it is internal and more expensive to fix than replace. Can't say that I will be buying a Denon again.

SOURCE: Digital audio cuts out.

Hi,
I have same DD 5.1 tiny "bursts" problem with satellite HD channel. It is probably problem with Crystal DSP (German site): http://forum.digitalfernsehen.de/forum/showthread.php?t=89328&page=3
"Denon bietet Lösung für EX-Flag-Problem bei den Modellen AVR-1602 und AVR-1802 an

07.08.2002(cr)
Dass die Denon AV-Receiver AVR-1802 und AVR-1602 die mit einem DD 5.1EX-Flag versehenen Tonspur von "Atlantis" und dem "Herrn der Ringe"nicht abspielen können, ist ein spezifisches Problem von einerbestimmten Revision des in diesen Geräten verbauten Crystal DSPs.Dieser Chip wird u.a auch in einigen Kenwood- und Onkyo-Modelleneingesetzt.Da es von diesem Crystal Chip unterschiedliche verbauteRevisionen gibt, von denen aber nur eine bestimmte betroffen ist,werden die beiden Filme auf dem größten Teil der verkauften AV-Receiverohne Schwierigkeiten laufen.
Denon bietet nun für alle betroffenen Kunden, die ihr Gerät beimdeutschen autorisierten Fachhandel erworben haben, eine kostenloseModifikation an. Das Gerät muss beim entsprechenden Fachhändlerabgegeben werden mit dem Hinweis auf das Herr-der-Ringe- bzw.Atlantis-Problem.
Momentan steht nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an DSPs zur Verfügung - Denonhofft, dass kurzfristig ein größeres Kontingent eintrifft.
Denon bittet daher die Kunden freundlich um Verständnis, dass nichtalle betroffenen Geräte auf einmal und sofort umgerüstet werden können."

SOURCE: Denon AVR-2309C1 will not play sound through

Turn off zone 2 then turn your receiver on the main zone on Radio, tune in a station and check for audio. Post a comment and let me know if audio works that way. If you don't have any audio, list your other equipment makes and models as well as how they are interconnected to your receiver (cable type) and I will help you troubleshoot

SOURCE: Greetings- my denon avr2802 is connected to ps3

Set the receiver for auto audio input - I think that you are getting caught out between MPEG and DTS audio. If you have the wrong one for the audio source then you hear nothing.

Do I need software to play dvd movies on my 2006 honda odyssey it doesnt reconize dvd movies.

Pull out your manual and make sure that it can play all types of movies. I am guessing that you are putting in BluRay movies and it only accepts regular DVDs

BRDVD Bluray incompatibility list


INSIGNIA BRDVD Blueray player


I like many people have bought a Bluray movie for my BRDVD Bluray player to have it not work. It is unfortunate part of Bluray and near every player has or will have some disc that will not play until a later update is made.

I noticed that it is really hard to find list that tell you what Bluray movies have problems as well as what those problems are. I will have a short list and will try to keep it updated whenever I get a report that a Bluray is having problems. Please report any problems by sending me a email at [email protected] or sending me a message in the comments here.


  • Inglorious Bastards-Disc will skip back and not play movie through the main screen. No fix is confirmed.
  • Couples Retreat- Main movie will not play. No fix is confirmed.
  • An Education(BBC video)-Movie skips back to main screen and will not play main video.No fix is confirmed
  • Alvin and the chipmunks-Main movie will not play. No is confirmed at this time.
  • "9"(Nine)- Main movie will not play. No fix confirmed
  • Twilight- Canada only- Movie would not play. Please contact the company located on the disk sleeve. It was a glitch that many player could not overcome so it would go back to main menu.
  • Percy Jackson-said to skip and at times not play at all.
  • Kick ***- Movie will not play and just gives an error on start up.

Please contact me with any info on fixes and problems. I will make several other lists for other players. I bought Inglorious Bastards and all I have is a $25 coaster now. I would like to keep this updated to help others not do the same. I will post any and all problems people are having with differant disk and any possible solutions.

Setup help for record player (Pro-Ject Carbon Debut) and pre-amp (ART DJPRE II) into Denon AVR-1909. I have everything setup properly, but I cannot get the subwoofer to turn on with my 2-channel settings...

In two channel mode, there will be no subwoofer signal unless you change the front speakers to 'small'. If you set the front speakers as 'large' then the full frequency spectrum will be sent to the front speakers, and none to the sub. Switching from bluray may keep the surround configuration until you restart as you mentioned.

The wall mount blurry player will play movies (Benjamin. Button) but will not advance from the FBI warning for The Good Wife, tv series rental. Help

If other discs are playing fine it is best to give the benefit of doubt to the player and not to worry more as this can be a damaged disc, a pirated disc or one with a region lock.Some times certain players will not play as the tracks can have errors due to damage and so the processor will protect.

A new "Tangled" movie disc not play in Blu-Ray

As newer bluray movies come out they are constantly tweeking the format. More then likely you need to update your bluray players firmware or software. There should be an option under the menu for the bluray player to update the unit of course this will require that you have it hooked into the internet via ethernet cable or wifi network.

I have my Sony Bluray hooked up through the AVR-1804 and when the sound is a little loud the receiver just shuts off. Doesn't happen with the DVD s played on the same player but when I actually play a...

Sounds like the protection circuit is activating to protect the output amplifiers. Common causes are hooking up more speakers than are suggested. The only thing I can relate to only BluRay disks could be the sound is more demanding. That would not normally occur. Try lowering the volume and see if that helps. Especially don't hook up extra speakers because that overloads the unit.
