The **OFFICIAL** Denon AVR-XX12 Model Owner's Thread - Page 400

It's a smaller Valpo station so they probably don't have a feed.

I've been using it for the past six months to listen to my favorite jazz station in Moscow (101.ru "Romantika Jazz") and, although earlier releases were a bit glitchy, the latest version works great. It costs about $25 and is available for Windows or Mac. The great thing is that vTuner stations will come and go, but with Airfoil you can send pretty much any streaming audio source to your AVR.

I just received delivery of a 2112ci and am very excited to set it up this afternoon.

Rather what you're expierencing after running Audyssey is what the mixer intended. As long as your sub trim didn't get set to -12db after running Audyssey (if it did you need to lower the volume on the sub and rerun AUTO SETUP), then try to adjust to the "new" sound for a couple of weeks. After doing so, if you still want the sub a little hotter, then simply bump it up a few db using the remote control "CH Level" button.

1: I was under the impression that I could pass through a hdmi signal through the receiver without having it on. Like a from a cable box to receiver to tv. If I cant no biggie I'll just run a optical cable

I just got a Denon Avr 1912, to replace a HK 1600. My speakers are:
Fronts: B&W 684
Sats and subwofer: The HKTS-20BQ from HK

The subwoofer is 8" and i have troubes with it. I don't consider myself a newbie configuring a receiver. I think i have learn the enough to do it. But im dissapointed and don't know what to do. The problem is that the sub does not produce "room filling" bass, instead it produces tight and when i up de sub volume thumping bass, but i don't feel it. I have ran audyssey i have moved the settings my self i have changed the position of the sub and it is the same. It is very evident with the next songs:

Hotel California - Eagles -Hell Frezzes over
Sirius - The Alan parsons project
Get Low - Lil Jon

When i had the HK connected the sub produces the nice filling room, but the 1912 just don't.

There is one user "elektrobank" that had the same problem. Does you guys can help me? im really dissaponted, i don't know if it is the size of the sub, because elektrobank had the same sub size as me.

Thank you

j. HDMI Handshake Issues (audio/video dropouts): Handshake issues will most often present as "audio dropouts" or sometimes video display issues. HDMI handshake issues with cable/sat boxes are quite common (with any brand of AVR) and are usually always the fault of the cable/sat box not being designed to be connected to an HDMI repeater (ie. AVR) which is why they work without issue connected directly to the TV. The first thing to try to resolve the issue is to ensure the source device having the issue has the latest firmware installed. Next try following this turn ON order: TV first, wait a few seconds, then the AVR, wait a few seconds, and finally the source device. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then in some cases you may resolve the issue by trying the HDMI HDCP reset procedure listed below. With the 2312CI/3312CI if you are having a video issue, try setting the "Resolution" setting to the resolution of the TV rather than the "Auto" setting.

HDMI HDCP reset
1. With all devices powered on, remove the two HDMI cables at both ends from the source device to the AVR and from the AVR to the TV.
2. Power off all devices and disconnect power cables to all devices.
3. Wait 10-15 minutes.
4. Reconnect HDMI and power cables to all devices.
5. Power on the devices in this order ... TV, wait a few secs, AVR, wait a few secs, and then source device (although this is the generally recommended order, in some instances, you may have better luck powering on the AVR first and then the TV, then the source last ... bottom line if it's still not working, try a different power on sequence).

If the issue involves the cable/sat box, your best option to avoid the issue is to connect the cable/sat box HDMI directly to the TV and use ARC to send the audio back to the AVR (if you have an HDMI 1.4 TV w/ARC) or also connect an optical cable from the cable/sat box to the AVR. If you don't have an optical cable available, you can also use a "yellow" composite video cable and connect it to the SAT/CBL coax digital input on the AVR next to the optical jack. Note that with this configuration (ie. HDMI straight to TV) you will lose the GUI/status menu for the cable/sat box.

Another option, if your model offers component video input is to connect both a component video and optical from the cable/sat box to the AVR (however, you lose the audio/video pass through in Standby mode using this configuration).

You may also want to try inserting an HDMI switch in between the AVR and the TV.

What % of people have this issue would you say more then 50%

Would it be worth trying to swap my cable box?

I'm straight into avr do not have a arc tv

Thanks

Ah, but can you easily install the multitude of Denon remote commands on the i devices? With the Harmony One it's a breeze. IMO, our beloved iPad is too large to comfortably use as a remote.

If you want full customized control then I would suggest Demopad then you can have the remote do what ever you want.
