*OFFICIAL* Denon AVR 2310CI / 890 Owner's Thread - Page 223

^^
Take a can of compressed air and blow it into the headphone jack a few times, or insert/remove a headphone plug a few times to remove the dust on the contacts.

Well the sound is not coming from hdmi cable. When I on my PS3 I could see the video and every thing but no sound. I will try with the head phone jack to see if that working.

Update

Got it working! I guess my receiver source is not set to hdmi.

I've been using the component input on my AVR2310CI from my PC for a while and that was working fine. I've maxed out my component inputs, however, and decided to switch to using a DVI to HDMI converter and input to the Denon using HDMI (and EXT IN for audio) from the PC. It doesn't seem to be working, however, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. It is a long hdmi cable (~25'), but I ran it directly to the TV and there were no problems and the picture looked great.

Another issue that may be related... when I have the source selected for the PC, the audio comes through but emits a high pitched whine. If I select another source for video, but keep the audio from EXT IN, the whine goes away and the sound comes through clear.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help.

A little more info if it helps... I have checked this forum and I don't seem to be having the same problem as others. My video card isn't one of the ones that has been a problem and my PC is definitely detecting the Denon (it shows up as the second display in the nvidia multiple display wizard).

The Denon just shows the screensaver (DENON spelled across the tv) when it is set to the PC hdmi source.

You may need to add an HDMI extender to increase the signal strength from the AVR to the TV as going through an HDMI repeater may weaken the signal. You might also want to try resetting the microprocessor (p. 70) and perhaps even consider updating the firmware if not already updated.

Hello All,

I just purchased a refurbished 890 from MacMall.

My Verizon FIOS box is connected to the HDMI3 (SAT/CBL) input. I followed the manual and told the receiver to pass the HDMI3 signal through when the receiver is in standby. It seems to work ok at first, but here's where it acts strangely.

When I turn the receiver back on from standby, it resets itself to TV as the source, not SAT/CBL which is the last input that was used. I tried changing the passthrough source to Last, but the same thing happens.

Is this normal?

It is if you have the TV's HDMI-CEC feature (eg. Samsung - Anynet+) set to ON so setting it to OFF should resolve the issue.

That worked. Thank you very much. Your help is appreciated.

What is the best remote for the Denon 2310 to control the surround modes, select source (e.g. TV, HTPC, tuner, etc), change radio station and volume control on a universal remote (those are the only features I really use on a daily basis)? I would really like to use only one remote rather than the several I have for my entertainment center (I have a Sony BRAVIA TV, a HTPC (no remote control for that yet but I'd like to get one if possible that works with computers), Verizon FIOS box and my Denon 2310 AVR. I will add a bluray soon.

Or will I always have to use the Denon remote for selecting surround modes? I would prefer to spend under $50 if possible...

Thanks!

So you wouldn't recommend the more expensive models?

Good point. Can you tell me what the One or the more expensive Harmony remotes have that the 650 does not?

Will any of these remotes be able to control a media library on my HPTC (whether it be Plex, or xbmc or Windows Media Center)?


The 650 is only $40 vs the 700, which is $60. I have 4 devices currently (TV, HTPC, AVR and the Verizon FIOS box), with the possibility of a bluray player one day, I'd need 5. I can't imagine getting anything else honestly. So, my question is: is the built-in rechargeable batteries worth it? Is it useful or not really?

I can get the Harmony One for $77, is the color touch screen worth it? Or just save the money and get the 650?

Awesome link!

Just learned about the Pic/Snd buttons that I never knew what they were for on my 550.

Yes, that link is great. I still can't decide between the 650, 700 and One at those prices... any suggestions for what you would do in my situation?

Get the 'One', hands down, money well spent in my opinion. I love my 550 that almost 5 years later works like new. And I paid about the same for it as the One at $77. Jump on it. You will be future proofed then.

I am so used to not using them but I did play around and thought it was cool. But likely I'll never utilize those features as I am so used to doing things the way I do now.

Okay, thanks all. I bought the One. Does it allow you to customize what a button does?

So, how do you label the buttons?

I totally agree. I paid $180 for my One over 4 years ago and it's still going strong -- one of the best purchases I've made. And at that price quoted, it's a steal.

Edit: oops, too late, you already picked one up. Good choice.

Thanks! So the hard buttons have a small LCD screen or something so you can label it? Otherwise, how do you know which "hard" button is which? "hard" meaning not on the large LCD screen...


By the way, I just got Verizon FiOS... should I connect the set top box from Verizon to the AVR via HDMI or is it better to use optical? Currently I am using HDMI- is that the best way?

Should I select stereo or sound for default audio output on my fios settings page? My fios STB connects via HDMI to my Denon 2310 receiver... when I tried both settings, I still get Dolby Digital on my AVR screen. Is one preferred? I, of course, want surround sound, where available, otherwise Dolby Pro Logic...

Thanks! How would I know if I have an HDMI handshake problem? So far I can't see any problems...

So you wouldn't recommend changing the setting on the STB from stereo to surround, just so the default is always surround? On TV shows, by the way, would I ever have (today or in the next year) a surround codec that was NOT Dolby Digital, but rather another surround sound codec or even HD-Audio?
