Denon Receiver AVR 1602 not playing Dolby Digital w/ Samsung BD

Be sure in the menu setting that the audio analog/digital setting is correct for the blu ray setting. All try the factory reset as stated in owners manual

The Dolby digital signal is outputted only through the Optical or Coaxial socket of the CBL box. you will have to get an optic fiber or coaxial cable depending which cable box you have and connect it to the digital input of the Denon receiver. The Denon's digital input are already assigned at the back. Eg: Optic input might be labeled CD so if you are connecting the CBL box to the optic input remember to select CD on the Denon to hear the cable sound, same goes with the coaxial input.

pres the prologic button more that ojne time

my rule is to always install an analog connection to any device along with a digital connection as a "backup", if you will. set the input on the receiver to auto and the rest is like magic with functional equipment. sometimes digital signals do flutter and become intermittent. the receiver will then switch to analog to keep the game goin.

You need to purchase a phono preamp (about $20) and then the output of the preamp can be connected to any line level input on the receiver (tape, CD, DVD etc.)

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

prologic is a form of dolby digital, the 4.0 or 5.1 (versions I and II respectively) to be exact. the type of dolby version is determined by the source disk. the reciever may expand a dolby digital signal into 7.1 but it is actually a 5.1 standard, as is prologicII

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

Hi,
I have same DD 5.1 tiny "bursts" problem with satellite HD channel. It is probably problem with Crystal DSP (German site): http://forum.digitalfernsehen.de/forum/showthread.php?t=89328&page=3
"Denon bietet Lösung für EX-Flag-Problem bei den Modellen AVR-1602 und AVR-1802 an

07.08.2002(cr)
Dass die Denon AV-Receiver AVR-1802 und AVR-1602 die mit einem DD 5.1EX-Flag versehenen Tonspur von "Atlantis" und dem "Herrn der Ringe"nicht abspielen können, ist ein spezifisches Problem von einerbestimmten Revision des in diesen Geräten verbauten Crystal DSPs.Dieser Chip wird u.a auch in einigen Kenwood- und Onkyo-Modelleneingesetzt.Da es von diesem Crystal Chip unterschiedliche verbauteRevisionen gibt, von denen aber nur eine bestimmte betroffen ist,werden die beiden Filme auf dem größten Teil der verkauften AV-Receiverohne Schwierigkeiten laufen.
Denon bietet nun für alle betroffenen Kunden, die ihr Gerät beimdeutschen autorisierten Fachhandel erworben haben, eine kostenloseModifikation an. Das Gerät muss beim entsprechenden Fachhändlerabgegeben werden mit dem Hinweis auf das Herr-der-Ringe- bzw.Atlantis-Problem.
Momentan steht nur eine begrenzte Anzahl an DSPs zur Verfügung - Denonhofft, dass kurzfristig ein größeres Kontingent eintrifft.
Denon bittet daher die Kunden freundlich um Verständnis, dass nichtalle betroffenen Geräte auf einmal und sofort umgerüstet werden können."

lets see, 3100 has no digital out, so you need analog inputs for the audio. Best picture with the 3100, use S-video. Digital input for the DVD sound and S-video in for picture. OOPS....does your TV have a S-Video input ?. If not then you have to use the RCA standard video type connector, as this particular denon doesnt do up or down conversion to or from S-video to old style RCA.

Sorry for the late response.....Rob

PS.....the HD bell wont do you any good with this receiver nbecause it doesnt have component video inputs. Enjoy Bells' superior picture with regular TV . Its way better than cable. Rob
