In Reply to: Weird Cable TV and Surround Problem-You are my last hope posted by Jim Clark on April 08, 2001 at 22:29:25:
Jim, the surround is included in the HI-FI tracks, how is the signal processed in your home? Are you useing a different hook-up in your home for the movie channels? Like from the cable box, or the the HI-FI VCR? How are you routing the audio?

I hope that's what you mean. I take the audio out from the source, TV and route it to the inputs on the Denon 3300. Same goes for the VCR.Ater some tinkering around I disconnected all speakers except the rears. I get signal sent to the rears on all channels that you would expect it (not mono movies of course) up until channel 400. After that-nothing on any channel. Very perplexing.
I'm acting under the assumption that I'm not getting a stereo signal from those channels though I'm not certain if that is even plausible.
Thanks for the reply. I hope this additional information gives you some ideas.

I have A 3300 as well and have outputs from my digital cable box in to the VDP input of my 3300 (no particular reason other than I don't have a VDP and the button is on the top row). In my cable setup, there is a screen for "Setup" and under "Setup" there is "Audio". I selected Heavy Compressio, Matrix, and something else that's not coming to mind. My 3300 Auto switches to Pro logic when I use cable.
Good Luck.
You were all on the right track, I was way off. It was indeed a connection issue. For starters there was a short in a RS audio cable from the VCR to the receiver. Why it only effects the cable and not VHS is way beyond me.Next they had routed the cable box through the VCR to the receiver instead of running the audio from the Digital Cable Box to the Receiver. I was running the TV audio out to the receiver. This is why some channels had rear info. and the digital channels did not. Running the audio from the box to the receiver fixes everything.
I maybe haven't got it spelled out exactly right here, my head is still swimming, but it's close. At any rate, I'm very happy now. I was too trusting in assuming the contractor actually knew how to hook up the equipment properly.
I thank all of you who took the time and effort to respond, you were right.
Regards,
Jim Clark
