I want to get full surround sound out of my Denon AVR-1508 w/sub

I have a source hooked up via Digital Opitical (toslink) to the my Denon AVR-1508 and a 5.1 speaker system hooked up to that. My issue is that the only mode that seems to play the subwoofer is the DOLBY PLII CINE mode, and in that mode something seems wrong with the speakers, i.e. the vocals in music are coming from only the center speaker with the other music coming from the sides. This may seem ok, but I want to change that. In 5CH mode, the sound comes out properly from all the speakers, but the subwoofer doesn't play. Please help!

How do i connect sonos " control " to denon avr 300. Where are audio output on this denon?
The AVR-E300 doesn't have an audio output. It's a very basic AV receiver built down to a price.

Even if you has a better quality receiver, you still would only be able to port sound from analogue sources (ones connected via red & white RCA/phono) to the Sonos Connect for distribution around the rest of your home. AV receivers don't decode audio from HDMI sources to analogue stereo.

If you want to port sound, hook up a source direct to the Sonos Connect's audio input. Don't try going via the receiver.

Only red light is blinking on my denon avr 1508
It sounds like you overloaded the Denon avr with too much resistence from the speakers. Please check the total resistence of the speakers before you connect them all. Also check that the speakers or their wires are not shorted!

Have you considered your source may be the problem if the receiver isn't?

You say setup is correct. If so it would work, no?

Not familiar with this model but seems like the protection circuit is kicking in, this could be caused by an imbalance of Ohms between channels or a short. remove & check all speakers and cables for continuity or shorts, does the unit power on without speakers or in a different mode (surround off).
always add speakers in pairs (L&R) before testing to prevent possible protection circuit, test main speaker pair first then add surrounds (all according to the allowable Ohms range for the amp of course)

I have my PS3 and TV hooked up to the HDMI ports. I have programmed the unit to show them under TV and DVD respectivly. When I change the source to TV or DVD, nothing shows up on my TV as expected
Sounds like you hooked them both up to HDMI input ports. Make sure that the PS3 is connected to an HDMI input port on the AVR-1508, and that the TV is connected to an HDMI output port (not an input).

No surround sound from my Denon 3805
well as long as all signals are routed through the Denon your on the right track, now what else you have to do is connect all devices to the reciever do not loop one device through another. Also you have to try the different surround fields to hear the one you like the best for music I use 5Ch stereo for movies the surround field varies based on the type of movie

No sound fom optical input
Do you have your TV hooked up, so you can see the AVR-4800 system menu on its screen (if not, see the manual). You need to go down to the digital input menu item where you associate each component with its input source, whether it is coax, optical 1, optical 2, ..., etc.
