Question About A/V Receiver and DVD Player

Two suggestions:

First, the receiver's remote can be set to send other manufacturer's codes, and maybe it has been. See page 32 of the receiver manual and try setting it back to 01.

Also, the DVD has some weird thing where it respond as unit A, B, or C. Maybe it needs to be something other than the default C to respond to the receiver remote. This is on page 17 of the DVD manual.

Thank you, Warren, for your reply. It is always a pleasure seeing how somebody puts in the extra effort and goes the extra mile to help somebody else out. I will definitely try out your suggestions.

Since you seem to know JVC products, allow me to ask another question: The receiver is able to detect that I have a center speaker (the appropriate speaker indicator box lits up on the receiver's screen), however the signal indicator does not lit up (i.e. the letter "C" does not show up inside the box. There is however audio coming out of the center speaker.)

I seem to have some sort of signal problem, and I've read the instructions on p. 10 several times without being able to figure this out. Do you know what exactly the term "signal" refers to? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

You're welcome. If you could edit your responses to just include specific text and intersperse your replies (as, for example, this message), it would make it easier to try to answer your questions. Thanks.

I don't, really, just saw that the manual was online and was interested.

"Signal" in this case appears to mean what the encoding of the source is providing. It reads to me that either your surround decoding or the source material is not providing center channel information. You might be able to choose a different decoding.
