*OFFICIAL* Denon AVR 2310CI / 890 Owner's Thread - Page 69

I'm considering the 2310 or 890 but have a depth limitation in my stereo stand. The support for my LCD goes straight up the back of the unit right where the power cord plugs into these receivers. The rest is open. I don't need the outlets below the power connection. The only right angle cords I can seem to find are 3 prong like in this image. Will a 3 prong shroud cable like this work with these receivers?

And could someone please tell me the depth of the receiver from the maximum part of the curve on the faceplate to the back edge of the case.

Thanks for the help.

What I found last night when I tried it, I was watching Dish when I opened the vieracast window. The center window had the Tv show I was watching along with the audio. The receiver was still active for Dish. I switched to Amazon Video On Demand and opened the show I purchased. I could watch the video but the sound and receiver was still active for Dish. I can get the same shows from xbox live with sound through the receiver, but I'm more curious now why this will not work.

I hope that this isn't as confusing to you as it is to me.

As BB was explaining, look at it this way .....
rather than thinking of it as V10--->2310(monitor out) ......,
think of it as 2310(HDMI OUT) ----> V10 (HDMI IN) as that is the ONLY direction that the video and HDMI audio travels. Only video sources that are connected to the 2310 video IN jacks go OUT to the V10 via the HDMI cable. And only HDMI audio sources that go in to the 2310 can go OUT to the V10 via the HDMI cable (when HDMI audio is set to TV vice AMP).

When you are watching TV, the DISH is the source that is sending audio/video to the 2310 which plays audio via your speakers and the video transfers to the V10.

When you are watching an Amazon Video on Demand via the V10, it is streamed directly to your V10 (not the DISH box as is the case with the xBox), therefore the V10 now becomes your INPUT source audio component. You then connect an optical cable from the V10's optical OUT ----> 2310 optical IN (so the audio can be played on your surround speakers). You would set up a new INPUT on the 2310 (separate from the Dish input) to use for audio coming from the V10. Audio is currently not playing on the 2310 because you have no audio cable connecting the two and you have no V10 INPUT set up on the 2310 that can send the audio to your surround speakers.

The reason it works without issue on the xBox is that the Video on Demand is streamed via the xBox which already has an INPUT into the 2310 for your games and HD movies. In the same instance, there would be no issue if you had a Panny BD player and you were streaming the Video on Demand directly to the BD player as the BD player would already have it's own INPUT on the 2310.

Personally, I offset my cable box by 15dB and music sources at 10-15dB. The only sources I leave at "0" are movies (DVD / HD DVD / Blu-Ray).

From the manual it seems that conversion is possible, and the 2310 can be set to NTSC or PAL-output.
Any experience?
Thank you!

Everything works fine going through the amp, but when I go to stand by the video works fine, but no audio. When the stand by button is hit the tv goes blank after a few seconds the video and audio through the TV flash on for a second. They both flash off for a few seconds and then flash back on. The video comes through, but no audio. I have the TV option for audio set as well as HDMI control to on. Anyone else with this problem or a solution?
