Quote:Originally Posted by TroyG JD, Thanks for your reply and help. I am not clear on number #2. Are you saying run the HDMI from my cable box directly into the TV and run an optical cable from my cable box to my AVR? Correct.

These would be fairly easy speakers to drive at 8-ohm/88db sensitivity so most any AVR could be used. Determine the features you want in an AVR. Review post #2 of the last two threads linked in my sig to see a comparison of the various...

Yup as long as the AVR has those pre-outs available like the new Denon X4000 which although is only a 7.2 AVR can be expanded to 9.2 by adding a 2CH amp or another AVR. So then with a 3CH amp, you could power the front 3 (L/C/R) and...

That depends on whether the "All Zone Stereo" and "Video Select with HDMI sources" newly added to the X2000 are important to you or not (see post #2 in the 2013 Denon AVR-E/X" thread linked in my sig). If not, the 2113CI would likely be...

You may want to wait for the release of the successor to the 7701 later this summer which should have XT32 as well as does the successor to Denon's 3313CI, the X4000. You can review post #2 of the 2013 Denon AVR-E/X thread linked in...

Quote:Originally Posted by bambam If you are going to run 4 subs through the 8801, would you just "Y" out from the two sub outs and then run to each sub? For Audyssey calibration then, would it ping the four subs as two pairs? ...

Try unplugging the unit for 10 minutes, then try resetting the microprocessor a few more times. Does the TUNER work at all?

First thing to do when receiving an open box/used/demo/refurbished unit is to reset the microprocessor (p. 47 OM) to ensure all settings are returned to their factory defaults.
