Hi, I have a denon AVR 889 about 3 years old, and one day the receiver's HD formats like dts-HD and dolby tureHD all suddenly stopped working. The HD blue signal still there but just no sound . And the other formats still working well except HD formats ! Did you hear this problem before? Thanks!!

Be aware though. Your TV has a DVB-T tuner. It picks up the Freeview standard definition (SD) channels, but not the Freeview HD ones. Dolby Digital sound only comes from the Freeview HD channels.
Your TV will pass Dolby Digital from any source connected to a HDMI port to the Optical Out. It will also pass DTS. But the internal Freeview DVB-T tuner doesn't generate Dolby Digital, just stereo and stereo with Dolby Surround encoding where you use ProLogic II for decoding.
The AVR-1911 is an A/V receiver with HDMI version 1.4a that can be connected to TVs and other devices that support 3D video such as Blu-ray disc players, game consoles, and set-top boxes. This receiver supports not only Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio and other HD Audio formats but also Dolby Pro Logic IIz for enhanced vertical and horizontal spatial performance at the front, the essence of 3D acoustics complementing the excitement of 3D video. The AVR-1911 comes with numerous other features such as 1080p up-conversion to give you a sharp, high-definition picture from DVD and other standard video sources, and a Glow-key remote control unit that is easy to use in the dark, to maximise your home theatre experience. Check if the RCA connector is properly connected.. Sometimes the problem is in the CD or DVD itself. Try to go to www.denon.com. ty
Make sure you have connected the blu ray players HDMI out to the Denon's HDMI in. HD sound is passed only through the HDMI port. And in the BD370's sound menu disable downsampling ( i.e enable uncompressed PCM audio for HDMI ).
A Denon AVR 889 is not a sub so we don't know anything about the sub in question.
Maybe the existence of the sub is no longer set in the AVR. Look at the speaker definitions first before going to wild.
Try another cable to the sub.
OR, run the sub's signal supply cable to one of the Tape Outs on the receiver and tune in something on FM. If that works a) it will be loud, and b) go back to the SUB settings on the AVR.
Crack the sub open and access the terminals on the speaker itself. Disconnect them from internal components and run one of your amp channels directly to it. If it works, the amp or signal path are dead. If it doesn't work, it's a dead driver.
See page 40 of this....http://www.usa.denon.com/AVR-888-OM-E_004.pdf
It indicates that apparently, encoding other than DD or DTS such as found on DVD, will be displayed as you are seeing it now and that is normal. I'm guessing it's a possibility that at the time of production of your receiver there may have not even been a name yet for the hi-def encoding you find on Blu-ray or HD-DVD...the manual does not mention even being able to display DTS-HD and such on it's panel. Also see page 32, section 4.
IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO CONNECT ANALOG AUDIO IN ADDITION TO THE OPTICAL, COAXIAL OR HDMI AUDIO CONNECTION. IF USING OPTICAL OR COAXIAL CONNECTIONS BE SURE TO CONFIGURE IT IN THE RECEIVERS DIGITAL ASSIGNMENT AREA IN SETUP.
ALSO, ON THE FRONT OF THE RECEIVER IS AN INPUT MODE BUTTON, PRESS THIS BUTTON UNTIL AUTO IS DISPLAYED
Thanks for your diagnosis !!
