I Have a 1912

If i watch TV or any other source (Google TV, Internet radio, etc) and i select the following: Dolby Digital, DTS Neo:6, Dolby Pro Logic in the audio output option i only get audio from the center speaker; if i select Multi Channel In or Multi Channel stereo i get sound from all speakers (fronts, center and surrounds) , but it's the same signla from the fl/fr speaker.

'Am i doing something wrong? i thought if you selected The Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic you could still get sound from all speakers.

So in order to get sound from all speakers i have to use the Multi Channel stereo option?

'am i correct or just haven't tweaked it enough yet?

Hello guys. Sorry for slipping this question in here. I had posted the question in the speakers forum but nobody responded. It might have been answered before, specifically because people have had their speakers blown out or their receivers cut off. My situation is a little different.

I recently bought my Denon AVR 1712 and am waiting for my RC Micros to be delivered to me. The Denon is rated from 6-16 ohms and I believe the Micros are 8, so they match.

However, while waiting, I borrowed a friends HTIB speakers to give the AVR a test run. A realized a day later that the speakers were @ 4 ohms. The speakers were working well the entire time and to this moment sound great. The receiver doesn't seem to be heating up. But I noticed that my receiver wasn't exactly co-operating. At times it would not play sound when I started up my PS3, or wouldn't recognize audio/video through some HDMI ports. Sometimes turning the power on and off would fix everything. I did a hard reset, but now I have to reset the remote to open the GUI almost every time I change inputs, and audio doesn't always play when HDMI pass through is activated.

My question is, can a receiver be damaged before it is forced to shut off (by what I assume would be an overheat). And would overloading a receiver cause these finicky complications or is it a defective receiver? Has anyone had these problems before?

TL;DR: Don't know if pairing 4 ohm speakers with 8 ohm receiver messed up my receiver, because audio is fine, but receiver is reacting strangely.

I connected my Laptop to 2312 using HDMI/HDMI V-AUX [2312] front panel and watched TROY movie. I have set Dyn Vol to MED. For better sound, I increased the sound upto 0 dB. I thought I can get better sound with 45dB atleast. Also SW is not that boomy.

Am I doing mistake somewhere in configurations? Please let me know if I need to change some settings.

Thanks, Raj

Dolby Digital also sounds much fuller and richer as well. And I have not even run Audyssey yet!!! One question. I plugged our Wii into the DVD component in and the DVD audio in and can't figure out how to assign the source. Assigning sources for the DVR and PS3 were easy because they are HDMI. Can't figure out how to assign non HDMI sources. Thanks!! Can't wait to run Audyssey and watch my test scene (Matrix helicopter scene) to see how it sounds compared to old HK.

My daughter has 5.1 in the family room, and 2 sets of additional stereo speakers in the kitchen and patio. When all are playing, the stereo sound is annoyingly out of sync (ahead of the 5.1).
We are HDMI connected from comcast and blu-ray to the 3312, and HDMI connected to the tv. I thought I understood that the HDMI wouldn't bring 2 channel for Zone 2, so I also added RCA connections between the input sources and the Denon.
Could you please point me to the solution link, or care to discuss.

Thanks.

Can I enble the Zone 3 pre-outs while powering Zone 2 speakers?

Thanks,

The COMP1 and COMP2 input assignments can be changed using the INPUT ASSIGN table just as with the HDMI inputs; however, the COMP1 input defaults to DVD so no change required there, but change the HDMI input to NONE for the DVD source.

Likely yes as the 3313CI will be selling closer to MSRP for a little while and yes, WWS is an authorized reseller so the warranty would be valid... As it turns out, WWS is the seller on Buy.com as well, so this would indeed be the better buy.

Leave component video cable at COMP1 and then assign COMP1 to another source name not currently be used that also has a matching analog input which you will then plug the analog audio cables in to.

She owns many of the Apple products to use with this receiver like the Apple TV3, classic iPod, iPhone and iPad 3 so she didn't need the Airplay function available on the higher priced models. All of the Apple gadgets are working flawlessly with the 1612. She was especially happy to see the iPod music listings show up on her HDTV screen when plugged into the USB port on the 1612, a feature she had been looking and hoping for. Her only disappointment (versus my current Denon 2309CI) is the lack of the blue HD light (a minor thing I know) that comes on with the higher bit-rate Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-MA and TrueHD sound formats. I told her that feature ended with the 2010 models but she wonders why. Was it just a cost saving measure or something else?
