DENON Owners thread

[sujithblaze]

y 1kva when the device uses only 390 watts and even if i add the led tv it would come to 465 watts which is a good 35 watts below the max capacity so i have a leeway of 7% shouldn't that be enough, and the ups is producing a simulated sine wave in battery mode. Or what would you suggest inorder to get a constant voltage supplied to my avr, a CVT??

I have Panasonic UT50 Plasma with Denon 1612
Connected to the HDMI2 (ARC) on TV side and Monitor (OUT) on denon side.
But not getting TV sound from my 5.1 speakers, only from TV, any body faced this issue and how was it solved?

Check for the settings in the Plasma TV whether u have opted for external speakers setting..

I Own a Denon AVR-1705, purchased from Pro-Fx, Chennai. Recently I was facing some problem with the selector nob and few other keys, also remote ( RC 977) is not working properly.
When asked them to repair the thing their after sells service is simply pathetic,they simply have no idea what is wrong with the receiver,till date its in the service station.

menu==>sound==>volume control (VAO)==> Audio out(TV OFF)... is this wat you referring to or some other settings.

Even I am facing ARC issue, not able to hear the TV sound similar to nicenicenicee. I have Denon 1911 and Samsung LED capable of handling ARC as per manual.

Hey could someone help me out with a contact for a professional who can help me service my Denon AVR 1311 amplifier. It stuck in protection mode. Would also like this opportunity to set up the home theater system it will be supporting. Im based in Delhi. Thanks!

 

[nicenicenicee]

when i press the viera tools button on remote and select viera links ===> feature not available.

while on some forum people see a list of manageble device and can select them

So not so clear if it is a TV issue or a Denon.

hi,
i am planning a AVR purchase.
anybody with experience of denon 1100w / 2100w
how does it compare to Pioneer 1123K / Onkyo 636
i have to make a decision in 2-3 days time
thanks

I have recently brought an X2100 from US to India - bought it from 220electronics. I went ahead of schedule to start building my HT since it was a good deal for me, and hence I do not have a good speaker setup to comment on its sound quality. Neither am I knowledgeable to comment on its performance compared to others.

At the moment I use it with my old local-made pair of bookshelves since I don't have the budget to buy new speakers now. I can comment that the wifi connectivity is pretty good. I never faced any drop-off issue. I have checked the Bluetooth as well and it works fine. I do not have a big enough TV to check the video upscaling quality in detail. Overall I chose this receiver due to the decent reviews on sound quality and ease of connectivity which helps me to stream audio from my PC and Mobile phone effortlessly. Hope this helps.

so when can we expect DTS UHD??

so when can we expect DTS UHD??

Not till next year, by which time the name will have changed (UHD is already used for 4k/ultra high definition TV). The upgrade might be limited to the flagship model (AVR-7200) only, since it's on a 2-year cycle.

Hi Mr.Sanjay ..
Is there will be any speaker layout difference when using Dolbyatmos & Auro 3D??..I'm asking this because Atmos is object based with 2 height layers and Auro is channel based with 3 height layers..so when v use it at home ,how to setup the speaker layout (As a consumer I'm not willing to change the speaker layout everytime switching between atmos & auro 3d bluray content)..
Is there any change for DTS UHD speaker layout also..
if Any information on this...please share..

 

[sdurani]

Is there will be any speaker layout difference when using Dolbyatmos & Auro 3D?

Atmos and Auro share the same 5.1 or 7.1 ear-level speakers. Both currently use 4 heights speakers, but the difference is in placement.

Auro wants a pair of height speakers on the front wall above the L/R front speakers and another pair of height speakers on the side walls above the L/R surround speakers. By comparison, Atmos wants all 4 of those speakers on the ceiling.

Consumer versions of Auro soundtracks are 9.1 channels (5.1 + 4 heights) or 10.1 channels (5.1 + 4 heights + VOG). VOG is Voice Of God, which is a channel directly above the listener.

The way Denon implemented Auro is strange. If you have 7.1 speakers at ear level and you're playing an Auro soundtrack, then the 5.1 ear-level channels come from 5.1 speakers. Your back speakers remain silent and you can't apply any processing to change that.

Denon allows the front pair of height speakers to be used for both Auro and Atmos, but the second pair of heights can only be used for one or the other. Like I said, strange.

Finally, if the Auro soundtrack is 10.1 and contains a VOG channel, then that channel will come from the 2nd subwoofer output on the Denon. I guess it was used because it contains 100% redundant information (same signal as 1st subwoofer output).

Is there any change for DTS UHD speaker layout also.

DTS is agnostic to speaker layouts. It can render its object-based audio to the Auro layout or an Atmos layout or any speaker arrangement you can accommodate in your room.

Hi, just bought myself a used denon 1713 but unfortunately it came without a fm antenna. Can I buy it from somewhere?

It seems immediately we the consumer should not plan for these setups as it seems some updation will be done to make it userfriendly .The DTS UHFD seems to be interesting..
Any info regarding the room dimensions --min required for these setups..

No minimum room size required.

Hi, I just connected a Denon 1713 to sonodyne 2605 floorstanders and I have to really crank the volume above 60-65 to enjoy. Also the bass performance is a little below expectation. I am not using a subwoofer by the way. Already used the audyssey settings. So is there anything else I can do manually to increase the performance? I am a newbie so please help.
