Denon AVR-2106 Receiver - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

check the power supply for the micro controller \ logic. 5 or 3.3 Volt IC's And check with AC measurement too ( try to measure AC ripple ) Could very well be dry electrolytic capacitors with excessive ESR. Ed

Hard to say without being able to look inside. could be a blown amp channel or just a voltage regulator. Best to have a pro look at it.

I think you may have a blown speaker.

This depends on the signal source. If it is digital, from a digital receiver, the audio will be either S/PDIF or Optical and the video will be a yellow RCA connector (co-axial). If analogue, the audio will be two RCA connectors (red-right and white-left) and the video will be component (green, blue, red RCA) Alternatively you may have a composite audio/video signal (yellow) which is both audio and video. Of course you must be sure to choose the inputs into which you have plugged your signal source. Cheers, Don.

Make sure that you go into the speaker system menu and set it to zone 2. The zone 2 speaker jacks can be assigned to other things such as surround back.

Hello: If you are trying to get the sound from the TV to come through the receiver to your speakers and are hearing nothing, I had the same problem. For some reason, and I have the question posted, the sound level requirement is much higher for the TV. I turned my receiver up to +2 decibels and the sound was there. However, if you play high def channels through the receiver, the +2 will blow your ears off. My new problem is why does the regular TV need so much volume on the dial while the high def channels only require the lower sound level. It prevents you from switching from regular to high definition channels. So, in summary, the sound is there, just turn the volume way up.

I came here hoping to find a solution to the exact same problem. I also used the CD cleaning discs. Had the same result. Works for a while, then it just does the same thing again. Problem is, I have a party tomorrow. We are planning on using the Singing Machine STVG 718. (That's the name of my machine)

I have a Denon AVR-3000 and want to turn on the B Speakers. I have hooked up my subwoofer to the B connections on the Denon since there is not a subwoofer connection. How do I turn the B speakers on without a remote

Though any transistor(s) might well have gone and the capacitor could be changed, I see no reason to change any resistor unless it's burnt up or giving an incorrect resistance reading. A multi-meter will tell you if a resistor is working or not, if it's not dead or weak it won't make a lot of difference to the circuit, but replacing it will simply cost you more money!

It has nothing to do with the remote. Reconnect the audio and video cables to the same input source on the receiver, either VCR1 or DBS (after turning off the receiver!).

Open the case, Near the transformer there should be a fuse. check it. replace if needed. Be sure it is unplugged before working on it.

You have a bad channel or power supply problem and need to send the unit for repair. You may send it to ebcelectronics here is a link.

Its possible you center channel is fried and keeps burning up the channel output on the reciever. Next thought is that, yes it was a bad model. First make sure that the speaker is good by putting another speaker in its place, or by checking the speaker with another system for sound quality. If it sound high pitched and it takes alot of volume to hear, than its toast and get rid of it.

Check your speaker wires on zone 2 and look inthe manual for speaker configurations with zone 2. you may have a speaker conflict. If you still have an issue, post a comment with your speaker setup and I'll help some more. Hope this helps

I like when a user is observant and curious. That will help immensely in resolving this problem.

What source(s) are always involved with the problem?

You imply it is observable with output video to the TV - "only when there is movement on my tv screen and it stops in still screen". That sounds like a digital pathway problem of some sort as any data errors would eventually escalate to something audible or visible to you once the hardware and correction algorhythms are exhausted. The clicking inside the receiver could be its efforts to resynchronize with a bad data stream. Hence, I'd like you to isolate the ins and outs that fail all the time and find the probable single source of the problem.

Try this: put a digital source on and select/deselect it for listening or viewing. Does it make the click in that brief time it's 'thinking' before you hear the source? That would be the 'normal' sound. My Pioneer does it once per source switch. Repeated clicking would mean it's struggling.

I'm betting you have an optical or hdmi cable that's flaky or not in tight and straight. Or, if only one extternal source is involved we follow that back.

My 2106 reciever is toast but the remote is fine, lets talk.

So you have no sound on any Inputs?  This makes a difference, if it works on some inputs but not others.  For a factory reset - turn the unit off by the ON/OFF button (not the standby button) hold in the SPEAkER A & B buttons at the smae time, while pressing them turn the system on by the ON/OFF button, wait about 3 seconds and the unit should reset everything.

You will need to tell your Denon AVR that you want ANALOG sound from your DVD player now.  Depending on what model AVR you have, it may be as simple as pressing a button on the front panel labeled "AUTO".  If not, the you will need to go into the menu settings and set the DVD input for digital sound to NONE.  Not sure why you would not want digital audio from your DVD player though.

Normally when this happens it is because the impedence load is too small. This unit requires 8 Ohm speakers. If you connect 4 Ohm speakers, it will work, but work harder and generate excessive heat. If the heat is too much, the unit will enter protect mode and shut down. Once it cools off, it will work again. In your case, if the speakers are the correct impedence, check for crossed wires. If that is the problem, running the unit at higher volume levels should cause it to shutdown sooner.
