The receiver does not seem to see anything on my network? The manual was no help, it only told me how to connect the receiver to the router.

One of the major reasons I'd bought this was to stream FLAC from my server to my receiver without having my computer on. Can someone help?

He said they had two 4311's returned back to them because they arrived to the customer bad , and supposedly their boss gave the an earful. So they aren't going to rush the next batch as they first did.

Just reporting from the field

Returned merchandise must include all factory packaging and supplied accessories in its original carton with all UPC & Bar Codes intact. Incomplete returns will receive a reduced credit reflecting any missing accessories. All merchandise returned MUST be double boxed with NO writing on the manufacturer's box. Your RA# must be displayed prominently on the outside your shipping box, NOT the manufacturer's box.

---------------------

By the way, does anyone have any info on what I should do about Audyssey? It tells me my sub is outputting 98DB at 50% (12 o clock) volume and it tells me to turn it down so it's 5% volume (75DB). Which causes the sub to be way to quiet. This mic is also telling me my home theater room is at 45DB with NO sound.

So I have two choices:
1) Listen to Audyssey, turn my sub down to 5% volume (75DB), then after calibration turn it back up to 50% (95DB). This results in my sub getting set to -6DB.
2) Ignore Audyssey, keep my sub at 50% volume (95DB) during calibration.


Which one would produce better results?

That's really kind of stupid, isn't it? Electronics Expo has been around for awhile. I seriously doubt that is what they do with peoples returns..

A quick demo of Iron Man 2 kinda confirmed that. I will report more this weekend. I see what people are whining about as the fit and finish are not as nice as the 4810, but it is by no mean a piece of crap! I am quite happy so far..

Good to hear. The 4810 is a mega star in my opinion. No external rough amps sounds promising. I haven't watched iron man 2 is the audio dynamic enough to put the unit through it's paces?

Are you running dual subs?

Denon tapped 36 dealers to carry the A100.

The better known dealers that were chosen by Denon are:
6th Ave
Abt
Crutchfield
J&R
One Call
Vann's
World Wide Stereo

Here's the complete list:

I would really recommend you look at others, and this is coming from an RT12D owner who spent more than $1500 only to get dissapointed, thankfully the bass shakers under my recliner are picking up the slack.
