So I have a Denon AVR-890 that I purchased along with a Klipsch HD1000 back in 2008 I believe. I quit using it for a couple years and finally broke it out again after just purchasing a pair of RP-280F's and a R-115SW to fill out my theatre. I just hooked up the new stuff for a quick test to make sure everything worked. I'm using a PS3 Slim for Video/Cd's. After doing my best to go through settings and dial it in a bit, I was impressed with what $1500 got me. My Denon AVR-890 and/or my PS3 have something wonky going on. Last night, after watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2, I shut it down. This morning, I went to turn it on again and the PS3 did an update which altered something(been in box for 2 years). I went back through the settings several times not taking note of the changes made, but finally got the deep lows out of the sub again using DTS HD Master I believe, and everything was fine. Now, I wanted to try some music. I burned a playlist to disc from Itunes. Currently, I only have the towers and sub hooked up which show on the AVR display. When I hit the play button for the CD, the subwoofer icon goes away on the AVR display. I tried a samsung Bluray player as well with the same result. I'm missing a bunch of settings as well. I'm guessing there is something about the CD that will not allow 2.1? I see 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 settings in the players/AVR. With the CD, most songs are thin and leave much to be desired. I know it can have great sound, but I can't find it lol.
Any info on how to get the sub running with a CD would be awesome. I've spent hours messing around and don't seem to be able to figure it out.
Optimal settings for PS3 and Denon AVR-890 would be awesome as well.
I can see about getting some pictures of the user interface with all the settings posted if necessary.
Much appreciated to anyone willing to help me get this straightened out.
