Yes. Your receiver has the required pre-out connection terminals needed to go to an external amplifier. That would make your receiver operate as the pre-amp/processor.

SOURCE: No Audio Output

OK.....there was a strange thing with this receiver......make sure that you are not on " headphones only ". Had a customer with the same problem. As for the fan, it doesnt run constantly. It only runs when the amp is hot enought to require extra cooling.....HOWEVER....there was a problem with the fans on these units, so much so, that Denon released a modification for the 3300 including a new fan and some upgraded circuitry.

If the unit is not flasning " protection ", or " overload".....you should be OK., however I would spend a few bucks and get the fan mod installed.....these are good sounding units and ecen though it does not have Dolby PL II, and DTS-ES, I have owned a couple of them and find that they sound better than most new ones. Get out your owners manual and look in the headphone section. If memory serves me well, there is even a way to do it with the remote. Good luck.... Rob

SOURCE: Denon receiver AVR-3300: Unstable source selection

Very important you have run system set up menu it configures your receiver with inputs analog or digital,speaker size,input,room correction etc Different input modes can be selected for the different input sources.
The selected input modes for the separate input sources are stored in
the memory.
q AUTO (auto mode)
In this mode, the types of signals being input to the digital and
analog input jacks for the selected input source are detected and
the program in the AVR-3300’s surround decoder is selected
automatically upon playback. This mode can be selected for all
input sources other than PHONO, MD/TAPE and TUNER.
The presence or absence of digital signals is detected, the signals
input to the digital input jacks are identified and decoding and
playback are performed automatically in DTS, Dolby Digital or PCM
(2 channel stereo) format. If no digital signal is being input, the
analog input jacks are selected.
w PCM (exclusive PCM signal playback mode)
Decoding and playback are only performed when PCM signals are
being input.
e DTS (exclusive DTS signal playback mode)
Decoding and playback are only performed when DTS signals are
being input.
r ANALOG (exclusive analog audio signal playback mode)
The signals input to the analog input jacks are decoded and played.
t EXT. IN (external decoder input jack selection mode)
The signals being input to the external decoder input jacks are
played without passing through the surround circuitry Your remote is searching for inputs because you did not properly run system set up!!! Here is a link to your manual [PDF] AVR-3300/1 3.3E*

Denon AVR-3300 Audio Video Surround Receiver. I have a question. Am I able to hook up regular speakers that are not surround to it and have them work on there? Please let me know. Thank you.

Question edited for clarity and 'AVE' to 'AVR'..

Yes of course no problem. The speakers are just that, a speaker, the processing is done by the Denon box not the speaker. You can use any speaker with an impedence of 6 to 16 ohms.

When I switch on my Denon AVR 3300 , only the ON / Standby light flashes and no display

Hi
Are you familiar with electronics?
If and/or when the red led light is flashing it means the device is in protection mode.
1: check voltage regulators 5v and 12v which are the important parts to keep the device operating.
2: if there is a short circuit on the power amp, meaning the power output of the receiver.
3: check output Transistors.
Hope this will help or you can give these to a technician that can help you.
Good Luck

Can i hook up two subwoofers to a denon avr 1907

Sure, just get an RCA splitter and share the Sub Pre-Out with the two self-powered subs or one amp powering two of them.

Power amp 2 channel connection to Denon a/v amp

You don't mention which AR amp we're talking about.

I think you're trying to say you want to know where to extract the front channels from the Denon to feed the AR amp. Right?

That would be an output on the Denon to an input on the AR.

Basically, take an RCA cable pair from the Denon's Pre Out F & L and connect them to the (presumed) L & R inputs on the unnamed amp.

Set the AR amp at a reasonably high volume (if it has a volume knob) and leave it alone. Run through the speaker level adjustments on the Denon to match the Front to everything else and it will control the volume going forward.

I have a buzz / static that appears for the first 15 minutes.

Hi...

I just opened up an AVR3300..It's trouble is that it goes into stndby
at once.
The BIG power supply caps are VERY swelled at the top.

That would be my informed view on why it's bad.

I suggest you look at that being your possible trouble too.

The AVR-3300 power-off to stand-by mode

You have a blown amp or a leaky cap and the unit is going in to save mode to avoid destrying the unit.

Take it in for a repair. I don't think it should run more than $50-$75 for a fix depending on what component is bad.
