Denon AVR-1403 receiver switched from digital to analogue.

The AVR-E300 doesn't have an audio output. It's a very basic AV receiver built down to a price.

Even if you has a better quality receiver, you still would only be able to port sound from analogue sources (ones connected via red & white RCA/phono) to the Sonos Connect for distribution around the rest of your home. AV receivers don't decode audio from HDMI sources to analogue stereo.

If you want to port sound, hook up a source direct to the Sonos Connect's audio input. Don't try going via the receiver.

You need to do the input assign. The receiver doesn't yet know that you plugged a cable in to one of the Optical ports.

If you have done the above, then the next thing is to check the amp's Mode button. This cycles the input between Optical and analogue audio inputs.

Connect the 3.5mm cable to the iPod headphone output and the two RCA plugs into any unused analogue audio input on the Denon AVR 1803. Then choose the appropriate input on the Denon, press play and enjoy the music. Be careful about volume. Start with the volume on the iPad low and adjust to suit.

hi,
There are two types of input for sat/cable in your amplifier. One is the Digital input and the other is the Analogue input. You didn't specified which one is currently used by you.
However, if you connect the digital input then you have to configure the input assignment to digital and for analogue input configure as analogue.
If you use analogue input and input assignment is in digital mode then the problem mentioned by you can occur.

First of all check the input assignment for sat cable. for that do the following
1. Press the menu button on the amplifier's remote.
2. Select input setup
3.select input assinment ( check the input assignment for sat/cable, If you are using the analogue
input select it as analogue,if your are using the digital input then select it as digital.
ok

Use the twin phono audio out on tv to twin phono audio in on Denon AVR-1707 this should work absolutely fine as long as your using an analogue input on the tv if HDMI you would need to purchase a Digitial to analogue audio converter. Hope this helps

Yes the latter conclusion may be the problem, incompatibility.

do you get sound when on FM? but not on test tone! check all speaker connections, spkrs are on and if thats good you may have to do some digital input assigning, let me know I can help with that

press the "input mode" button, ought to solve it

Yes and no. You can get some digital signals to go to zones 2 & 3 but only PCM ones, Analogue always goes. I have a Denon DVD player connected to my 4306 with a denonlink cable. I had to connect RCA Analogue cables to the DVD input to get the sound to come out on Zone 2.
