NE ONE having problems with the Denonford decks?
I have the 8250Ti and I get no output from it.
My amps are the usual, Xtant 2140C and Rockord 301S.....my Xtant feeds signal to the 301s.
I can't get any kind of sound out of the system untill I hit 22 on the volume on the deck.....I've tried boosting the input sensitivity on the Xtant, dialed the gains, messed with the x-over....all after checking voltage and amperage of course.
Also I had some pretty serious noise problems that pretty much got cured when I grounded the chassis of the deck, and all the other grounds were fine.
So, anybody have any ideas? before I go and throw all my equipment in the garbage?

Don't throw it in the garbage, just send it all to me for "disposal". 
Is this a new deck or have you been running the 8250 for a while?
Have you tried swapping another deck in to see if any of your other components are faulty?
Which amp is powering your speakers and which amp is powering your subs?

Thanks Marco.....I'll give it a try.
I've been using it for a while now, and never had a problem. Hell, I've almost never had noise problems in any vehicle and now I have major problems.
I don't have another deck to try out.....My DRX9255 doesn't have any output ne more either.
The Xtant runs the front end and the RF powers my sub.

I tried that when I was trying to eliminate my RCA's as my noise problem, but that was before the deck started doing what it's doing.
I'll give it a try, if that doesn't fix the problem, the deck is the problem....so I get a new deck I guess.
If it's my amp that's the problem, what can I do to find out what exactly is wrong? I'm not an electrical engineer but I've already been through the amp to look for bad capacitors, loose or broken solders and burn marks with no luck. What else should I look for?
Forgot to mention also that when I hook up the remote wire from the deck to the amps, the RF is the only one that turns on and when I turn the deck or ignition off....the amp doesn't turn off......I use 2 18 AWG wires twisted together at the deck then they run back to the amps and I split them there to go to each amp.....the wire for the RF gets 12 volts on my meter, the Xtant only gets 5 volts. I've already checked for pinches and broken wire. Also tried running the RF remote wire to the Xtant with no improvements.

hi brandon i have the same deck and i to have to crank my deck up to get any volume out of it... what i did was measure the output voltage of my deck output ac. and found that these deck dont give out to much in the way of voltage till after 20. my deck puts out a healthy 5.7v but thats with the bass pinned and the volume pinned as well and playing a sine wave. under normal use listning to my music.. 80 hair metl... i wont get 3v out of it pinned... that sucks.... sooooooooooooooooo what to do, well me being the smart dude that i am i threw out all my 80 hevy metl discs and now only listen to sine waves so that i can get all 5 volts out of my deck that i payed for... lol just kidding, get yourself a line driver from audio control like a 4.1 place it after the deck then off to your amps and voila..... mucho sound batman. now be carefulll because you will be running a hotter voltage to your amps and will have to shut the gains right off. good luck...

I've been running my 8240 for a year now and I havn't had any problems with it. still get good voltage out to my amps, and I love the sound... flat EQ and I still kicked SQ *** last year.
must be the installer
I even pulled the faceplate off of mine and moulded it into my dash with carbon fiber... it still runs awesome, the only issue that I have with it is that the sensor that sees the CD when loading it can be fooled by sunlight if the deck is at the wrong angle.
