*OFFICIAL* Denon AVR 2310CI / 890 Owner's Thread - Page 124

That did it. Thanks!

Should a Dolby TrueHD bd movies show as such on my 2310? Mine says multi channel.

It doesn't matter whether the BDP or the 2310 does the decoding of the Dolby TrueHD audio track to PCM. When the BDP does it, the 2310 will display MULT CH IN and you won't get the "blue" HD Audio light. If you want the 2310 to do it, you would set your BDP to "bitstream" and then you will see Dolby TrueHD and the "blue" light.

Hi - tiny bit off topic. But, I'm looking for a blue ray player with wireless that will stream from Netflix. LG BD390 looks good, but there seems to be some issues with LG and the Denon 2310CI (I have not done the firmware upgrade yet - just got it)

Any other recommendations that work well?

Thanks

Are you saying if I've updated my 2310 firmware to .69 I won't have the bug? I have the Sony 460.

This was what I was looking for. I read the poster's question but did not see this reply. Thanks

I received my 2310 last Friday from Electronics Expo and I was very happy with it until it started acting up. The issue first started Saturday morning when I went to turn it on and no video was shown on my TV (Samsung LN52A750 connected via HDMI) and no audio was heard (I also noticed that nothing showed up on the left hand side of the receiver display where it shows the audio input signal). I switched HDMI cables, disconnected all speaker cables, etc. and even reset the microprocessor.

I eventually moved the receiver into my sons room and connected it to his 360 and Samsung TV and it worked fine, moved it back to my room and it worked for awhile and then eventually after a couple of power cycles stopped working again (I could also get it to stop working on my sons TV). I eventually got it working and it stayed working until today where it started the same behavior all over again (when it does act up, even the radio tuner audio doesn't work). I checked and it currently has firmware update 0079. Is there a bug where it doesn't like Saturday's ;-)

Since the issue is not consistent I am worried about returning it to Electronics Expo since their return policy states that if they can't duplicate the issue then they charge a 20% restocking fee. Has anyone experienced similar issues or have any ideas on what to the check? Any issues returning items to Electronics Expo?

I am awaiting arrival on my Denon 890 and have a quick question. I currently have a Yamaha 2500 the has the visual set up menu everything in my system now is HDMI and the Yamaha is not. When I tried to run a speaker scan on my system I could not get the OSD to come up. I did fiqure it out by running a cable from the Yamaha monitor to the tv monitor then set the TV to video that brought up the OSD. What do I have to do on the denon to have the OSD come up on my TV? or do follow what I did with my Yamaha?

Thanks

Its easy after all your components are connected. Turn on Tv, receiver and one of the source. Then press MENU and thats it.

Thanks for the quick reply what do you mean by source since I do not have the denon yet I just want to make sure I understand.
Thanks again.

Source = whatever is connected to the Denon (Sat cable, bluray player, Xbox360, PS3, etc...)
Also if you haven't already, read BATPIG'S "DENON-TO-ENGLISH DICTIONARY" SETUP GUIDE AND FAQ

Correct.

The latest firmware version should be 00.69 vice 00.79. Give EE a call and explain your issue. Most likely they'll let you return the unit for a replacement.

Thanks. I called EE and had no issues getting a RA for an exchange and they are even paying for the return shipping (I had assumed I would have to pay this). My receiver does have the Main Ver = 00.69 and Sub Ver = 00.30 firmware, I thought I had seen it referenced as the 0079 update.

The firmware update # itself is 79, but the Main Ver that the AVR get's updated to is 69.

I'm looking for some help regarding the OPT-2 DVR Output and getting signal over it. I don't think I'm doing something right, and I've submitted another thread here:

AVR-890/2310CI DVR/Bluetooth Headphones Setup, OPT-2 Out not sending audio

Could owners try to check this out?

To get OPT-2 (DVR) OUT to work connect source to OPT-2 (DVR) IN

Does the source have to be live or can I just plug a dead TOSLink cable in?

Will OPT-2 OUT only send signals from OPT-2 IN or will it send signals from HDMI inputs as well?

I have try this and it only works with OPT-2 IN. No signals is transfer to OPT-2 OUT from other connections beside OPT-2 IN.

So how can I hook up wireless headphones to a Denon AVR890?

Well I had a friend that came over with a Turtle Beach X41 wireless headset. And the only way was to set it up running optical cable from Xbox 360 to OPT-2 IN and then OPT-2 OUT to X41 receiver.

But you only were able to get sound from the Xbox, correct? No audio from other sources still?

I am trying to find a solution where I can get output from all sources.

Thats correct, only the Xbox.

So does a method exist to get output from all sources?

Sorry ngordon, I'm not sure about that. Maybe jdsmoothie, batpig, SoM or others can chime in with a solution.

You can connect your components to an optical switch first, then connect the switch to the OPT2 IN jack.

If I were to use an optical switch, I'd have to rely on it to change inputs and it would only have a single output to my Denon. I'd lose all the ability to set "per input" settings on the Denon, not to mention it would be ridiculously expensive!

Could someone just confirm or deny that there's a way to get line level audio output from all sources on this receiver?
