Not to insult you, but here are a couple of obvious suggestions that I don't see mentioned...
Both the master power switch on the rear of the amp, & the one on the front are on?
If using the trigger, is there 12V there to power on the amp?
You didn't accidentally connect the amp to the Denon's multi channel inputs?
You don't by chance have the amp plugged into the receiver's convenience outlet do you? It certainly won't be able to deliver the power needed by the amp, maybe producing weird results.
