DVD Audio Output Stops

This weekend while watching movies through the DVD player, the audio stopped. Video was fine, no sound. So, I switched the audio out from the DVD player and from the "DVD Audio In" to the "CD Audio In", and switched the input selector on the receiver via the remote. Everything was back to normal working fine. In the morning, I switched the connections back to the "DVD Input In" and it worked fine for about 30 minutes (a much shorter time than before) until it stopped. I switched the audio cables back to the "CD Audio In" again and it is working fine.

Is this a heat problem?

Is it correctable?

Will it always do it now?

Should I send it for service, or cycle through the CD and Phono audio inputs first until they all die then send it in?

Am I losing any features/quality by using the CD or Phono audio in channels?

Thanks so much!

    Same problem here. Turned the system on a couple weeks ago, and DVD picture but no sound. Finally got back around to working on it this weekend - now there is neither sound nor picture. When I switch from DVD to CD, the sound from the DVD plays; all wiring and hookups appear fine, have not been moved/changed since install in '03.



    Interesting that Kelby36 had same problem in same receiver at about the same time. Perhaps there Denon installed a self-destruct mechanism in the AVR-1803.

Hey Kelby,

I've had a similar experience where a DVD movie would be playing and suddenly my Denon would just shut off, I later discovered that my rear speaker cables were not correctly installed in the back so the reciever recognized it as a short and would just shut down. Just make sure your rear speaker cables are correctly installed (right to right and left to left and with correct positive/negative placement) and see if it still does it. If it's still happening, then I wouldn't know what it is. Good luck.

The sound goes on and of when watching a movie

see the cause and fix it: God bless you
  1. Check if the TV and Amplifier (if connected) is turned on and set correctly.
  2. Check if the TV, DVD player and Amplifier are connected properly.
  3. Make sure the TV, DVD player and Amplifier volume are not set to Mute.
  4. There will be no sound output during Reverse Play / Pause / Step / Slow / Search.
  5. If the DTS soundtrack is enabled in the DVD Disc Menu, but you are using Stereo Analog audio, the sound will not work. Try switching the soundtrack to Dolby 5.1 or PCM mode in the Disc Menu.

My iPhone plays videos on the Internet but no sound comes out, why Is that???

If your having problems with no audio from youtube, myspace and flash video. I suggest this

When watching web pages with embedded Flash video or animation such as movie or video clip on YouTube and MySpace using Mac OS X, users may hear no sound. The no sound audio output problem happens despite video playback is fine, and the issue can happen on any web browser, i.e. Safari and Mozilla Firefox. Strange thing is that, when using other applications such as RealPlayer, QuickTime Player and VLC Player, the sound is played properly. And no audio output issue does not affect embedded QuickTime including HD contents on the web.

Apple Mac OS X support site explains that the no audio from certain multimedia content issue is caused by some audio applications that change the computer's audio settings to a sample rate that is too high for other applications to use. The notorious programs include certain versions of Real Player, VLC Player and Audacity.
The solution to solve the Internet movie no sound or audio output is to reset the audio setting in Mac OS X to original configuration:
  1. Open "Audio MIDI Setup" (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the "Audio Output" setting.
  2. Change the "Audio Output" setting to 44100.0 Hz.
  3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.
If the Audio Output setting is grayed out or disabled, go to "Properties For" tab in Audio MIDI Setup, and select "Built in Output".

I hope this helps

42in insignia tv im trying to watch a movie and there is no sound how do i get it on

Try going into the Audio Settings and set the digital audio to PCM.

If the movie you are trying to watch is the only movie this happens with, try pressing the audio button on the DVD remote to change the audio stream.

You should also set yout DVD players audio output to PCM as well.

Hope this helps!

How do I load a dvd onto my walkman.

First off get the arcsoft media converter 3, then drag and drop the videos you want to get on your mp3 player into the program, after it converts it loads them onto your mp3 player as long as it?s connected, this program will also allow you to download YouTube videos and put them on your mp3 player too.

DVD Ripping

This is a two part process...
You'll need DVD Decryptor (freeware) and AutoGK (also freeware).
In DVD Decryptor you'll be ripping the DVD movie to an IFO file.
Once that is complete load AutoGK, select the IFO file you just created (it will automatically get the .vob's you just created) select a destination defualt an audio track (usually movies have more than one audio track) and file size and let it go. Depending on the movie it should take approximately 45 minutes to an hour to complete.

The other program you can use after DVD Decryptor is Any Video Converter (also freeware). Instead of selecting the ifo file, select all the .vob files and then right click on the files and select "merge" (make sure they are in the correct order).

This program is a lot faster than autoGK BUT if your DVD has multiple audio tracks, it may not get the right one during conversion.

I believe you can get everything at www.filehippo.com

Hope this helps

Video

Bad video cable is first thing to check. The output is composite or progressive? need more info on your configuration to solve. It almost sounds like the IC for the video is heating-up.

DVD movies do not play

A blue screen means the TV is not receiving a video signal. Check all connections, then try another player, cable, etc. Also, check DVD and TV AV settings.
