No DVD sound troubleshooting

Help! About a month ago I started losing sound through my Denon AVR-3300 receiver when playing DVD's. It was sporadic at first, now the problem is permanant. I can play CD's (from same DVD player) just fine, but just not DVD's

I was not sure if it was the DVD player, Denon receiver, or cabling so I did some troubleshooting. I had been using fiber optic for the digital audio, so I tried switching over to coax-digital. This also allow me to plug in another DVD player that had coax-digital only and not fiber option output.

After changing the settings on the receiver to get its DVD input from the coax-digital input and verifying the settings on the DVD's with no different results, I think I've narrowed it down to the Denon receiver.

Is there anything else I should try with troubleshooting this problem?

Is this common problem with Denon receivers or this model?

Is this something that is worth spending the money to get fixed or should I start thinking about a new receiver?

Thanks in advance, Gary

P.S. I also use the Multi-source feature of this unit to feed sound to external speakers on my deck. This feature has always been limited to only certain inputs - e.g. tuner sound, but not CD's or VCR.

I would suggest one more troubleshooting. If you have a friend, borrow a DVD player and take your there and try it.
