Why is the power indicator blinking red on my Denon AVR-1513?
If the power indicator on your Denon Receiver is blinking red, it could indicate a few issues. First, the unit's internal temperature may be too high; turn off the receiver and allow it to cool down before turning it back on. Ensure the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Also, verify that you are using speakers with the correct impedance. Lastly, check the speaker cables for any shorts, ensure the core wires are firmly twisted, and reconnect them securely to the speaker terminals.
What to do if the Denon AVR-1513 Receiver cannot be operated with the remote control?
If your Denon Receiver isn't responding to the remote control, try these steps: * Replace the batteries with new ones. * Ensure you're within 23 ft/7 m and within a 30° angle of the unit. * Remove any obstructions between the remote and the receiver. * Verify the batteries are inserted correctly, matching the polarity marks. * Avoid strong light (like sunlight or fluorescent bulbs) shining on the receiver's remote sensor.
Why does my Denon AVR-1513 automatically switch to standby mode?
If your Denon Receiver is automatically switching to standby mode, the sleep timer may be active; turn the power on again or adjust the sleep timer settings. Alternatively, “Auto Standby” may be enabled, which triggers after a period of inactivity. To disable this, set “Auto Standby” in the menu to “OFF”.
Why doesn't the volume increase on my Denon AVR-1513 Receiver?
If the volume on your Denon Receiver isn't increasing, the maximum volume might be set too low. Adjust the maximum volume setting using the “Limit” option in the menu. Also, ensure that external devices connected to the receiver's output connectors are powered on.
Why is there no sound from surround speakers on my Denon AVR-1513 Receiver?
If you're not hearing sound from the surround speakers connected to your Denon Receiver, verify that the surround speakers are connected to the correct SURROUND terminals on the receiver.
Why can't RESTORER be selected on my Denon AVR-1513 Receiver?
The RESTORER function on your Denon Receiver can only be selected when an analog signal or PCM signal (fs=44.1/48 kHz) is input. It cannot be used for multichannel signals like Dolby Digital or DTS surround.
Why is Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, Dolby Digital Plus audio not outputting on my Denon Receiver?
To ensure Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, and Dolby Digital Plus audio output from your Denon Receiver, use HDMI connections.
What does it mean when the power indicator is blinking red after turning on my Denon AVR-1513?
If, after turning on your Denon Receiver, the power indicator is blinking red, it indicates that the unit's amplifier circuit has failed. Turn off the power and contact a DENON service advisor.
Why is there no audio output when “Standby Pass” is set on my Denon Receiver?
If you're not getting audio when “Standby Pass” is enabled on your Denon Receiver, check the TV settings, referring to your TV's manual for details. Ensure the speaker output is set to the TV speakers and that HDMI control is set to “OFF”.
