Soundless Nights: Why Your TV Won’t Play Through Your Denon Receiver & How to Fix It

Are you frustrated by soundless nights spent trying to figure out why your TV won’t play through your Denon receiver? You’re not alone. Many people struggle to get their TV audio playing through their Denon AV receiver. Don’t worry, though – there are solutions to the problem. In this blog post, we’ll discuss why your TV won’t play through your Denon receiver and how to fix it. Read on to learn more!

Check all connections

If your TV sound isn’t coming through your Denon AV receiver, the first thing you should do is check all of your connections. Are all of your cables plugged in properly and secure? Is your TV connected to the correct input on your Denon receiver? If any of these connections are loose or incorrect, it could be causing a lack of audio from your TV.

It’s also important to make sure that all of the settings are configured correctly. This includes ensuring that the audio output from your TV is set to the correct setting (for example, an optical or analog connection). Additionally, you’ll want to check the volume settings for both the TV and receiver, as well as the mode settings on the receiver itself (such as Direct or Stereo).

Finally, it’s always a good idea to double-check that the TV is outputting sound at all. Try using headphones to see if you can hear any sound coming out of the TV. If there is still no sound, then the problem likely lies with the TV itself, not the Denon receiver.

Ensure that the TV is set to output audio to the Denon receiver

If you’re having trouble getting your TV sound to play through your Denon AV receiver, the first step is to ensure that your TV is properly set up to send audio out to the receiver.

To check if this is the issue, start by accessing your TV’s audio output settings. For most TVs, you can access the audio settings by going to the TV’s main menu, selecting Settings, and then navigating to Audio.

Once you are in the Audio Settings menu, find the option that controls the TV’s audio output. It may be labeled as Sound Out or something similar. Select the option labeled Receiver, External Speakers or similar. Doing so will make sure that your TV is sending its audio out to the Denon receiver instead of its internal speakers.

Save the changes you made and try playing a show or movie with sound. If you still don’t hear any sound coming from the receiver, move onto the next steps to troubleshoot the issue further.

Check the settings on the Denon receiver

If your TV and Denon AV receiver are connected correctly but you still aren’t getting any sound, it’s likely that the settings on your Denon receiver need to be adjusted. This can be a confusing task, especially if you’re not familiar with audio receivers and their settings, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are the steps you need to take to make sure your Denon receiver is set up correctly so you can get sound coming through your TV:

1. Locate the Input/Output menu on your Denon receiver.

2. Set the input source to the correct setting – usually TV or Video 1.

3. Set the output source to the correct setting – usually TV.

4. Make sure the volume level is set correctly – it should be around 50%.

5. If all else fails, try resetting your receiver to factory defaults and then go through the settings again.

Once you’ve gone through these steps, you should have sound coming through your TV from your Denon receiver. It may take a few tries to get everything set up correctly, but with a bit of patience and attention to detail, you should be able to get it working in no time.

Test another input on the Denon receiver

If you’re having trouble getting sound to come through your TV when connected to your Denon AV receiver, the first thing you should do is test another input on the Denon receiver. By testing another input on the Denon, you can determine whether or not the problem lies with the receiver itself or with the connection between the two devices.

To test another input on your Denon receiver, start by connecting a device like a Blu-ray player or DVD player to one of the other inputs on the receiver. You can use the same cables and connections you used to connect your TV, just make sure that the cables are firmly plugged into the correct ports on both devices. Once everything is connected, turn on the power to both devices and set your TV’s input to match the input on your Denon. If sound comes out of your speakers, then you know that the problem is not with the receiver but rather with the connection between the TV and the receiver.

If no sound comes out of your speakers when you test another input on your Denon, then it could be a problem with the receiver itself. In this case, you may need to contact Denon’s support team for further troubleshooting.

Try a different HDMI cable

If your TV sound isn’t coming through your Denon AV receiver, one of the first things to check is the HDMI cable that connects the two. If you’re using an older, worn-out cable, it may be time to upgrade to a newer model.

Look for an HDMI cable that supports both the 4K resolution and the Audio Return Channel (ARC). This will ensure the best connection between the TV and the AV receiver and will allow for a smooth transfer of audio signals from the TV to the receiver.

Be sure to also check if all the cables are securely connected to each device. Make sure all the plugs are firmly inserted into their respective ports. It’s also a good idea to make sure that all the settings on your TV and AV receiver are properly configured.

If you’ve tried replacing or reconfiguring your HDMI cable, and the sound still isn’t working, it may be time to contact Denon customer service. They can help diagnose the issue and provide you with additional support and advice on how to get your TV sound working through your Denon receiver.

Restart the Denon receiver

Have you been having trouble getting sound from your TV through your Denon AV receiver? If so, you’re not alone. Many users find themselves in this frustrating predicament, not knowing how to solve the problem. The good news is that there’s a simple solution: restarting the Denon receiver.

Restarting the Denon receiver may seem like a simple fix, but it can be surprisingly effective in getting your TV sound back on track. In most cases, it can take care of issues related to HDMI ports, audio settings, and more. To restart your Denon receiver:

1. Turn off the power to the receiver by either unplugging it or pressing the power button.

2. Wait for at least 10 seconds before plugging the receiver back in or turning the power back on.

3. Once the receiver is powered on again, check if the TV sound has been restored.

If your TV sound still isn’t playing through the Denon receiver after trying this step, there may be a more serious issue with your equipment. You may need to consult a professional for further assistance.

Check for firmware updates

If you’re having trouble getting sound from your TV through your Denon AV receiver, the first thing you should check is whether or not your receiver is running the most up-to-date firmware. The latest firmware is essential for enabling the correct compatibility and communication between your TV and receiver. To update your firmware, visit the Denon website, find your specific receiver model, and download the latest version of the firmware.

Once you’ve downloaded the file, connect your Denon receiver to your computer via USB and then drag the firmware file onto the USB drive. Make sure to disconnect the receiver from the power before updating. After you’ve transferred the file, disconnect the USB and turn the power back on. Once the power is back on, follow the instructions on the Denon website for completing the update.

Once you have finished updating your firmware, double check that all cables and connections between your TV and receiver are secure and undamaged. If you’re still having trouble, try different sources (Blu-ray player, game console, etc.) to make sure that it’s not an issue with the source itself.

Finally, if you are still unable to get sound from your TV through your Denon receiver, reach out to a Denon customer service representative for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot any remaining issues. If you are getting no sound from surround speakers through your Denon you may want to check this post out also.
