[lovingaudiostuff]

Hi my friends I Just set up 3.1 system Zensor 1s, Zensor Vokal and Svs pb-1000 sun with Denon x2000 avr. I regognize that my center speaker works in the Audyssey set up test but not in the Music playing or in movies. For example I Played Bass I love and othermovies there is no pulse on center speaker. Can you help me.

What mode is your AV amp in? Does it say 2-Channel on the display?

Also how is your DVD player connected to it? HDMI or RCA phono jacks?

It says stereo on the screen of AVR and my media player is connected VIA HDMI cable

Some settings on the Denon will give u 'surround' (3.1 in your case) but its almost certainly going to sound better in 2.0 or 2.1

Try 2.0 stereo but if it lacks bass try 2.1 which sometimes means swapping front speaker size from small to large. Always go for least processing first. Listen for a while before changing settings.

Thanks for the response I am new to this stuff you mean receiver automatically adjust the speaker configuration i set up my speakers as follow fronts : small center : small and subwoofer; yes

Sorry I misread yr post. My ideas were more for music. It seems yr centre is not working at all. Cant really help - it seems like you need to change the dsp setting from 2ch to movie - Im not familiar with this Denon.

Manual p99? music mode

Also make sure you have pure direct mode switched off as this mode will automatically default to two channel audio.

That makes it sound like one of the settings somewhere is set to stereo instead of 3.1. I don't have any experience with Denon AVR's but with my Yamaha one it only says stereo on the display when it's set to stereo.

Have a look through some of the setup menus see if there is anything that looks like it could switch it from stereo (or 2.0) mode to multi-channel (or 3.1) or something similar.

thanx for the response as you said when I choose movie mode then the sound starts to come through center speaker.
