No sound Goodmornong, I bought a Denon AVR 2802 = AVR 982 which doesn't make no sound even if the commands seem to work properly. No sound from loudspeakers, nor from the headphones. When the built-in tuner is selected, the tape-out RCA give the analog R and L signals, but nothing is ampified. I tried analog inputs and digital optical and coax input, but nothing comes out, and nothing seems to even be detected. I have tried the reset-2-factory procedure, nothing changed. I have no remote control. I'm wondering if a new firmware could make me step forward. Where can I find the firmware? Every suggestion to let the AVR come back to life is welcome: I can't stand burying it ;) Thank you Marcello, Milan

Are you using a stereo-mini to RCA cable that has a red and a white RCA plug? What I mean is, you should have the one cable coming out of the headphone jack on the computer, and two (left and right) cables going to the receiver. The only other thing I can suggest is making sure the cables are tight. Maybe try another input on the receiver. There really shouldn't be any feedback unless there is some underlying problem.

My guess is You have dried out electrolytic capacitors causing failure. These receivers when they get over 6 years old start drying out fluid in capacitors especially on regulator p.c.b. causing noisy supply lines. I work for Authorized service center in Michigan If you need repair and Shipping to Michigan is economical let me know [email protected]

If you've done that already and still no response from your system, I would suggest to take back to the place where you bought it and ask them to check it for you. Tell them that you follow the user's manual to the "T" but still unable to make it work.
Good Luck.

If the Cd is wired digitally, it will only play through the main zone, because the Denon cannot convert down to RCA to cater for the zone 2. If you plug RCAs from Cd to Denon, Main zone will STILL play from digital, and RCA connection will allow zone 2 to play Cd from RCA input....same with dvd, Satellite Blah blah... no stress, any nasty RCA will do if you want to try before you splash out on really costly cables...perhaps you can help me...want to run AVR 2105 with 2 speakers in zone 2, manual says cant do it - only ably to surround back or biamp...dont want either, dont have stereo yet to try it out...did you have any trouble with that?

You have to use the system setting using the remote and turn on the inputs you want to use. Hope this helps.
