O ozmackem Audiophyte Feb 28, 2005 4 0 0 Feb 28, 2005 #1 Hello all, My two year old boy, bless him, was found by my wife "turning all the knobs on the amp" and "hitting all the buttons on the remote" to quote her Now I am only getting sound from my dvd player at either a set on volume or no volume at all. When the volukem know is turned down to --- there is silence, but as soon as it turns up to the first notch -60dB I think then it hits a mid range volume. If I then turn up the volume to what would have once been deafening levels actual audio level coming out of the speakers doesn't change. Tried all last night to find an anomalous setting through the amp set-up, but I'm guessing he hit some magical combo with the buttons Any idea what the litte chap might have pressed? And more importantly what I might have to press to get my normal volume control back?

Click to expand... Could the mute feature been turned on accidently? If not, I think your best option is to reset your amplifier/receiver as someone else also suggested. P.S. same thing happened to me with my 20 month old daughter, I was about to call it quits on my receiver before realizing the mute function was activated. Gotta love kids! Good Luck.

O ozmackem Audiophyte Feb 28, 2005 4 0 0 Mar 1, 2005 #5 MOdel of the amp is Denon AVR-2801 I've tried it with 2 dvd players and get the same problem, so I at least know the problem lies with the amp. There's an image here: http://www.usa.denon.com/catalog/photo.asp?s=home&p=AVR-2801&f=avr2801.jpg&c=57 Nothing seems to be lighting up in the signal area which has dts and lock lit in the photo.
