I have an unusual problem with a Denon AVR--1803 that turns off when playing some DVDs. When playing some DVDs on a Sony DVP-NS725P over optical digital the Denon unit shuts off at volumes above -8 during loud passages. Anything quieter than -8 makes dialogue impossible to hear. I had an older Denon that I could crank up much more (near 0) and it would have no problems at all.
I can listen to other audio sources (CD) from the same DVD player with no problems. I can also listen to surround sound from a Motorola DVR unit from a cable broadcast program at higher volumes with no problem.
Has anyone ever seen similar problems with playing DVD movies? I suspect a signal problem in the Sony DVD player.
BTW - I tried RCA stereo plugs (Left and Right channel) and don't have this problem but that defeats the whole purpose of having a decent surround sound system, doesn't it?
