Why is sound only coming from the center speaker on my Denon Stereo Receiver?

  David DuncanSep 8, 2025
  If sound is only coming from the center speaker on your Denon Stereo Receiver, and you're playing a monaural source like TV or AM radio, it's likely because you're in STANDARD (Dolby/DTS Surround) mode. Select a different surround mode for monaural sources.
