*OFFICIAL* Denon AVR 1610/590 owner's thread - Page 167

Sorry, can't resist quoting you ;-). Not true A.S. determines distance, level, multiband EQ, phase and depending on the level of Audessey in the Denon sets a host of sub characteristics. Also x-overs, LFE cutoff, speaker size and I'm sure a few other things are set as well that I have forgot about.

Batpig and JDSmoothie are for sure rolling their eyes and can chime in if I missed something or called something the wrong thing.

I just bought a new TV and now I have a problem with the receiver. Before I switched TV's when I would turn everything off for the night and then turn on just the TV in the morning the receiver would be on the input it was on when i turned it off now the receiver defaults to the TV input and I get no signal on my screen. I have to turn on the receiver and change it from the TV input back to sat/cable. I also loose sound every so often when just watching TV normally. It just cuts out and i have to either turn the receiver on and off again or just leave it on.

This occurs because you have HDMI-CEC (Anynet+) on the TV enabled so disable it as the ARC feature will not pass audio to the AVR.

I noticed same thing in my receiver. What is this?! Receiver works normal.

Looking for anyone who has experience with the AVR590 receiver and the Sharp LC70LE732 (70LE732) 70" TV.

I had my setup working perfectly on my LG 50" TV (Satelite and HTPC). I've now mounted this 70" monster and I cannot get it to display through the receiver. I have hooked the HTPC directly to the TV via HDMI and it works (somewhat, resolutions look like ass).

Does anyone have any experience with these two units?

Please help

I have an AVR-590, and HDMI video is 'blurring' slightly when running through the receiver (it seems to affect red colors specifically). If I turn my receiver off and let the video pass-through while it's on standby, the red blurring goes away. I assume this is caused by some sort of video processing in the receiver, that is turned off when it goes into standby.

Is this affecting anyone else with this model, or is there an option that I can turn off somewhere that will disable the video processing possibly? I've hunted around in the menu looking for something, but I can't find anything.

I also suspect that the video processor that creates the on-screen menu may be causing the red blurring as well. Is there a way to completely disable the on-screen menu?

@meatee - afaik, the 590 does no video processing and is simply an HDMI switch.

This is what I thought too, but something is causing the blurring effect. It only happens while the receiver is turned on, so I'm not sure what else could be the problem. Could some sort of interference inside the receiver be degrading the HDMI signal?

This is connected to a Sony KDL-40V3000 lcd tv, and the problem occurs with every device I have connected to the receiver (PS3, Xbox 360, and HTPC with Nvidia GeForce GTX 560-Ti).

I've had this issue for a couple years now, but just decided today to ask about it. The blurring isn't really visible from my couch, you can only notice it when you're right in front of the TV, so that's why I haven't really worried about it. But, I would still like to figure out the problem if possible!

Have you tried adjusting the video parameters on the TV's HDMI input (or tried the other HDMI inputs) at all to resolve the issue?

This morniing I turnd on the TV and ... no Sound. Also when I went to the setup menu it looked like this...

Manual Setup
Input Setup

I tried everything including reseting the micro processor. I guess i should have searched this forum before I did all that.

After just one search I found my answer....dust in the headphone jack

THANKS GUYS

I may not post much but I love reading these forums.

I had the same problem and the headphone trick worked, thanks

Kudos to AVS Forum for providing us with a medium to get the word out.

Hi guys - a variation on a common problem that I have seen here.
I have had my 1610 for a year or so and have just set it up for the first time to use the standby flow through option.

The switching works fine - one button power off etc. but when I put the receiver in standby, the receiver switches the signal through to the TV for about 5 secs then it cuts out - sound and vid. TV says "no input". I am using HDMI connections only, no optical.

I have tried turning all the functions off and on, reset the Denon to factory, turned the TV "anytime" features on and off, changed the HDMI port on the TV, all to no avail. Identical symptom every time.

If I turn the whole system off with the power button, both systems go into standby but when I turn the TV on, no signal till I power up the Denon.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,

JJ

By "Anytime" you mean "Anynet+". Ensure it's OFF.

Yes, anynet sorry.

Turned it off and problem has gone away, but I have lost 2 features

1. turning the TV off used to turn off the denon and
2. the tv remote used to control the volume of the denon when it is on and display the Denon Volume control PIP
Both these features have gone so I have to use 2 remotes again.

Any way around this? I have HDMI control on.

JJ

Actually it has not gone away. The signal loss no longer happens when I turn the Denon off, but if I turn the TV off for a while and back on without turning on the Denon, then there is no signal.


It is a real pain when you have a family that has very different views on the merits of a surround sound system at 7 o'clock in the morning!!


JJ

AFAIK, no ... you get either one option or the other, but not both without changing settings each time.


If your source is the cable/sat box, you may find your best option is to simply connect the cable/sat box HDMI directly to the TV (so AVR doesn't have to be ON) and also connect an optical cable from the cable/sat box to the AVR (for surround audio).

This happened a few weeks ago. First, I noticed that my subwoofer is not making "sound". I wasn't paying particular attention.

I re-ran Audyssey MultiEQ today on the Denon 1610, it says "No" for subwoofer. I checked the subwoofer pre-out connection. The subwoofer is on (Green). I checked the subwoofer settings - all correct.

When I remove the subwoofer cable from the receiver. If I put my hands on the cable, I can hear Subwoofer making "Ummmm" sound.

How do I know which part is at fault? The receiver or the subwoofer?

^^
Sounds likes it's an issue with the 1610. Try resetting the microprocessor (p. 57).

Thanks - I tried. Somehow when I hold the Surround left and right buttons, I cannot power on the receiver. It will be red instead of changing to green. Any trick of resetting the microprocessor?

Hi parodielin, make sure you press the the small ON/OFF button and not the large ON/STANDBY button. Power off the receiver first by pressing the small ON/OFF button. Then hold Surround left and right simultaneously and then press the small ON/OFF button.

Thanks! Now I reset the processor and it detects the subwoofer again.

Interesting, is your blurring kind of red and fuzzy looking? I've noticed on many movies that I watch (especially with white backgrounds) I have some red fuzzy/sparkly action going on. Just last week I decided that it must be my poor quality HDMI cables so I ordered up a few "high" quality ones. I haven't messed with the pass-through however.

Need a bit of help with my 1610. I am trying to use Dolby Pro Logic I or II When receiving a 2 channel source, I am only getting sound from my center channel. Nothing from the front or rear speakers. Audessy picks up all my speakers and it is turned on. Anything played in Dolby digital works fine, sound comes from all speakers.

What happens if you use All Channel Stereo? Does it go to all 5 speakers? What about Neo:6?

Is this from a Sat/Cable box?

^^
It's possible the Front Speakers got switched to "Front B". Try pressing the "Speakers" button just under the front panel display and cycle through until "A" is displayed.

Currently the source is a media center PC running windows 7. It is connected by HDMI. Windows media center is set to stereo. Previously I was using a Tivo HD connected by HDMI. It was producing the same results.

If I select All Channel Stereo, I get sound from all speakers. With Neo 6 I only get the center.


A speaker are selected.


PLII spread the sound, but still no surrounds. With cinima I only get the center.
