The **OFFICIAL** Denon AVR-XX12 Model Owner's Thread - Page 501

As long as the "Video Convert" setting is enabled, the 1912 should provide a GUI overlay on 2D video (but not 3D).

I would agree, the issue more than likely lies with the Oppo ... the Denon replacement was just another option. What was the result using an optical/digital coax connection from the Oppo?

Although the "Basic" setting should be the same as your main zone speaker setup, making the change in "Custom" mode would resolve the issue as well.

I might have been watching 3D at the time, will try again. Thanks

jdsmoothie,

Yeah, that's what I thought, as well. I'm confused about the lack of consistency (if you will) between the Audyssey setup and the "Basic" settings. I think what I'll do next is rerun the setup wizard and see if that ports all the settings over the way I'd expect.

What are your thoughts on doing that? Or, should I just leave it alone now that I've found a way to get it to work?

Ken

Your call ... if you like to tweak and have the time ... go for it. That's what I would do.

Thanks for the reply. I suspected as much about the wireless router. I may be able to relocate my current setup.

On the MacMall link I posted, just above the picture of hte AVR is a Technical Information tab next to Overview that says it has a 1- year warranty. But just in case Im going to call and verify. Thanks for the warning!

I called MacMall and they confirmed their website is incorrect and that only a 90 day warranty applies as they are NOT an "authorized" Denon reseller as noted by the link below.

I also see that Denon has added two new authorized e-tailers .... Redfli and Rands.

So as I continue to struggle to set up my 3312 I've come up with another issue besides the main one I have right now (Handshaking). I have a URC MX-880 remote and the MRF-260 base unit. The remote is all ready to go and programmed as I like it but I am having a lot of, what I assume to be, interference issues. For example, to switch sources I have to be in-line of sight of the 3312 to accomplish the source change (there are others like volume up/down must be in-line of sight). Most other functions are working as intended (out of sight with the equipment closet closed).

1. Main question is does anyone know, for a fact, that the 3312 produces a lot of RF interference particularly with URC?
2. The only thing I changed in my set up has been the receiver (from a Yamaha to the 3312...the Yamaha had no such control issues) and added a powerline adapter for ethernet

I've tried moving the MRF-260 around and even taking off the antenna and nothing seems to help.

Is the MRF-260 connected to the rear IR input or do you have a flasher taped over the IR sensor on the front panel? Have you tried each method to see if one works better than the other?

Also this thread might prove helpful ... http://www.remotecentral.com/cgi-bin/mboard/complete/thread.cgi?4178

So far I have only tested the flasher method since it worked so well with the Yamaha. I just realized that the flasher was slightly off from where the IR input on the front panel is on the 3312. I'll move it over to the correct spot to see if that helps. Ive been all over that remocentral forum looking for solutions (the antenna trick was from there). I'll try to connect to the rear IR input to see if that helps as well (not really sure how to do that just yet)

Hi guys. Not sure if anyone is in same situation but input hopefully positive would be appreciated.

I have a 3805 that I have enjoyed for a long time. I decided to upgrade due to limitations with crossovers, HDMI, and newer codecs. I dont need thhe power of the 3805 as I now drive Klipsch RF-82, RC-62, and RS-42's with it.

I ordered a 1712. The Question is am I going to be getting as good if not better quality sound out of the 1712 with newer processing etc.

Thanks in advance, hoping to hear from people that had a similar unit upgrade

Because it's the only mode that doesn't add a delay to the signal, which is crucial when I'm using it alongside my active monitors.

So I take it there is no way to push it to all speakers in direct mode then?

The IR sensor location is on the left side of the front panel display as shown by the yellow marker in the image below:



The other method is to insert the 3.5mm IR plug into the Remote IN jack as noted by the yellow marker in the image below:

You mean just the subwoofer out level control from the receiver? Theres more control on the remote than just level, like EQing, night mode, and mute and power. Not to mention I prefer adjusting subwoofer power on the subwoofer, not in the receiver.

It helps if you quote the response you're replying to in order to more easily follow the conversation flow by pressing the "Quote" button below that post.

If you're only passing STEREO audio, why not just use STEREO mode?

Thanks Bat, I was hoping that the surround processor itself would yield improved sound. I have readd around here somewwhere that if your receiver is more than about three years old that you really should upgrade due to much improved surround processors.

Here's the thing though ... if you're using Audyssey, you don't want to make "ANY" adjustments on the sub after AUTO SETUP has been run, rather only make adjustments using the AVR or AVR's remote.

My vote is "load of hooey."

Ok so that is actually pretty easy, the problem is how do I get the IR plug to play nicely with my URC remote and/or base station? Does that just require some sort of programming on the URC end?

Should be no different than simply taping the flasher to the front panel display ... the MRF-260 converts the RF--> IR.

Based on the unusually high number of 3312CI Owners having posted as receiving a defective refurb 3312CI (ie. either DOA or shuts down in protection mode) from Accessories4Less, I emailed the AC4L owner and learned that he is addressing the issue with Denon. Until the issue can be resolved, I would suggest paying a little more for a new in box 3312CI rather than a refurb (unless of course you like taking a chance on the lower price).

Long time reader, but new member who needs help.

Just tried connecting a second TV to my 3312CI via an HDMI cable to monitor 2 out and unit started turning itself on and off. I shut it down, did a microprocessor reset. Didn't fix it. Talked to Denon support. Their only solution was microprocessor reset. I have since unplugged everything from the unit and tried turning it on with nothing attached. Still the same problem. TV 1 was on and running through AVR when I plugged in second cable to monitor 2 out. Second TV was not on or even plugged in to power when I inserted HDMI cable connected to TV 2 into the AVR. Did I create some kind of issue plugging in a HDMI cable to monitor 2 out while TV 1 and AVR were on? Seems strange. Any suggestions before I send into authorized repair facility? Thanks!

I have been trying for the last couple of days to register my 1612 on Denon's website without much luck. I keep getting error pages. Anyone else having this type of issue?

I'd suggest to keep trying .. but AFAIK there's really no benefit to registering so not that big of a deal if you cannot do it. Other then possibly sending out news of new and upcoming products, they'll likely never contact to you if there are any issues with the AVR and as long as you purchased from an authorized Denon reseller the warranty is in effect regardless of whether you register or not (just keep your dated receipt and original box).

Strange indeed. If the issue exists even when the connection is made with everything powered off, then repair is your next step.

Thanks, JD for your previous answer, even if it wasn't what I had hoped for.

According to the 3312CI instruction manual on page 108, it says:

• If both the Monitor 1 and 2 connectors are connected and “Resolution”
(vpage 93) is set to “Auto”, the signals are output with a resolution
compatible with both TV.
• With “Resolution” (vpage 93) not set to “Auto”, check whether
the TV you are using is compatible with the resolution under “HDMI
Information” – “Monitor 1” and “Monitor 2” (vpage 120).
NOTE
Depending on the monitor you have connected, the display may not
be correct when you set to “Auto (Dual)”. In such a case, set to either
“Monitor 1” or “Monitor 2”.

Does this mean that if two TVs are connected to the AVR, on resolution auto setting, it will pass through the lowest common signal both TVs can process? If both are 1080P, but only one is 3D ready, will it not pass through 3D to the unit that can process it? If that is the case, does the setting "Resolution" not set to auto allow me to create settings for each TV individually?
