Eddie, good luck dealing with Ivan! We are supposed to get hit the hardest here in Prattville around noon tomorrow according to the last reports. My advice on set up is to make sure you go deep enough into the menus to get the right settings selected. On my Denon DVD-2200 player stereo (non M/C), digital (where it needs to be analog), and regular playback (instead of Hi-Rez SACD and DVD-A) are the default settings. Just make certain that the player is "looking" for the proper type of source and of course ensure that your analog inputs are being used.
