Hello.

I was setting up my recently purchased Wiim and somehow I've managed to blow my amp, an old Peachtree Audio Nova. Not related to the Wiim I was trying to get my speakers to work.

My only temporary alternative is an almost as old DENON AVR-X200W. I just connected the analog line outputs of the Wiim to analog log inputs on the AVR. I have been unable to get this to produce any sound. Just streaming from my Deezer subscription at this stage. Putting the AVR on direct doesn't seem to work either.

Am I missing something I should be considering?

Thank you for any advice, Jeff

Hi

Make sure the RCA cables are connected correctly; make sure the AVR input is correct; make sure the WiiM output is set to line out.

Please set the "Line Out Level" input sensitivity to 200mV in the audio settings within the device settings of the WiiM app, and check if sound comes out.

If there is no sound, try connecting with optical output and Coaxial output.

It works with an optical cable. Still nothing with analog.Theres a few more things I'll try.

Thank you for the help.
