Problem with Denon AVR-2106

[jamesmriley2003]

I think I may have a problem with my recent purchase. I finally started hooking everything up. I haven't finished setting up the back speakers so, I'm listening to a dvd in 2 channel mode. I just have the front 2 speakers hooked up and the standard rca's. About every 10 minutes or so the receiver is outputting a high pitched noise and no other audio. Is there a problem with it? It was a refurb and it only has a ninety day warranty. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

I don't know the specific answer, but another poster had a Denon refurb and had to reinitialize the processor and start from scratch. It sets everything back to factory defaults and you start from a clean slate. Your manual will tell you how though with Denon manuals it may take some time to find it. Please note this IS NOT the same "reset".

I've done the reset, I believe, I got it from Denon tech support. It's supposed to re-initialize the processor. I'm still having the problem. I've noticed that it only happens when it is in stereo analog mode. If I put it in direct or pure direct, it doesn't do it. Any other suggestions. I like the receiver but, this shouldn't be happening on a receiver at this price. I had a cheap JVC for 8 or 9 years and never had a problem with it. Should I return it and get a different receiver? Thanks for your help.

At this point I would return it or ask to exchange it for another unit.

Thanks for the advice. Thats what I did. I exchanged it for the Pioneer 1016. Hopefully, I'll have it soon. I shipped the denon today and they'll ship the new one out after they receive the old one.
