Yeah it'd be nice to use REW and all that, but like you said I'd need a mic and a laptop (or a super long cord to reach my PC lol).

If I remember correctly it does NOT happen (at least not as bad) when I take it OFF MultEQ XT. I know Audyssey is trying to correct for the slight roll of in the highs with these and I'm sure having a large, open space doesn't help, but with it making such different corrections from FL to FR....and that huge bump it did on the center is a little weird.

If you haven't already read through the Audyssey FAQ and "101" documents, please do. The placement of the microphone and the type of mount you use for it can cause problems, in addition to how your speakers are oriented.

Mic is pointed towards the ceiling and on a tripod. Clear of leather furniture/reflections. Speakers are toed in slightly and 7.5' apart (roughly 10' away). I'm thinking I might raise the mic up a little higher since the tweeter is higher in the EMP e55's. Maybe that will help

Is in Input Assign on the 1912 set to HDMI for that input?

That is windows vista?

Shutdown the PC reboot the 1912. TV on set the the correct input. Boot PC. See if it's detected. Try Nivida control panel also.

No, Windows 7. I'll try restarting everything and see what happens.

Edit: I'm guessing that the hdmi port on my computer just doesn't do anything for some reason. I'll have to find a mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter and see if that will work.

How to send stereo source (CD playing on DVD) to sub?

On my new 3312 I have my Panasonic 3D BD player connected to the BD input via hdmi.

I am using Kef Q300 bookshelf speakers as my main F.R. speakers.

When I play a CD in my BD player, selecting "stereo" as the surround mode, I'd like to have my sub on for low frequency enhancement. Still having the mains playing stereo.

I cannot gwt the sub to come on playing the CD from the BD player using stereo, direct, pure direct surround modes.

What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

IDK the stereo mode, but the other two bypass all processing, which means they bypass bass management. If you just set the system yup to play what comes in, without the more esoteric-ish modes, you should reengage bass management (and Audyssey).

Go into your speaker setup settings and select LFE+MAIN.... Plus, are the speakers set to 'SMALL'? That is important IIRC, but someone can correct me on that part if I am wrong



However, I seem to recall a setting that isn't so universal, but only for stereo mode. Just dig in these menus and you'll find it-i did.

LFE+Main is only relevant if you FL and FR speakers are full range, determined by Audyessy, and are set to Large.

After running Audyssey, if the AVR sets your speakers to LARGE, reset them to SMALL/80Hz in the "Manual Setup" section. This will ensure that when receiving a stereo 2.0 signal, the lower frequencies below 80Hz will pass to the sub.

P.S. to this issue. After following JD's advise. I saw the link to the Audysey 101/faq/gudie I'm his signature and read that article.
My understanding of my system an proper configuration is now SIGNIFICANTLY improved.
It answered so many questions and was so informative I suggest all new Audysey users read it.
Additionally it only took about 30 minutes to read thru the Audysey 101 portion.

Thanks JD!

since this model is discontinued it's going to be hard to find new. They do have refurbs available though.

that said, there is a good deal on a refurb 2113ci at accessories4less for only $419 with free shipping: http://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/DENAVR2113CI/DENON-AVR-2113CI-7.1ch-Networking-Receiver-w/AirPlay-3D-Ready/1.html


Same price as the 2112 refurb (actually cheaper when you factor in the free shipping) and it's a newer model. A4L is an authorized refurb dealer so you get a full 1 year warranty.

Glad you took the time to read it (as anyone who wants the best audio from their setup should as well). It was put together by member kbarnes701 and is a summary of the roughly 50 most asked questions in the Official Audyssey thread.

Hey All,

I've had the Denon 1912 for about over year now, and really have had no issues with it until recently. For whatever reason, the receiver doesn't want to connect to the internet/ Airplay anymore. I have been rocking the Airplay/ Network connection since I first got the Denon in September of 2011, with little to no issues. I had a Ethernet cable plugged directly into the recover through my wireless router (which was in turn connected to my Cable Router), but the other day I had to do a little Home Theater rewiring for my new TV setup and since then, the receiver simply won't connect. I have tried different cables, powered on/off the equipment, and even run the Network Wizard to connect to the network Automatically (I get stuck on the "Press the Internet Radio Button", because I press it and nothing happens).

I still see the Airplay icon show up on my iTunes/ iPhone/ iPad interfaces, and can check the internet for a Firmware update, but when I actually try to run music through the network, it stalls. Everything about the connections/ setup are the same, only they were unplugged from the system for 15-20 minutes.

Any ideas?

Hi, I have the AVR-1912. I have my cable box, component out to the receiver in. I have the HDMI out to the tv. Works. But unless I connect the sound from the cable box to the receivers sat/cbl left and right (composite cable), I don't get any sound. Ok. That makes sense.

But what I want to do is run the video into the component, hdmi out, and Optical from the cable to the optical in of the amp. I don't want to use the old L/R rca composite cables. The sound is very low.

I hope that makes sense. I want the component video in, hdmi out, but the sound from the cable be the sole sound source. So far i can't do that. If I put the cable box on TV I get the optical sound but no picture. If I put it on sat/cbl, I don't get the optical sound but the sound from the rca cable.

How can I get rid of the L/R? Is HDMI the only way?

Thanks for any help.

You have to read the manual and assign the inputs correctly.

It will definitely work.

Press the Setup button on the remote

Go to Inputs

Digital Assign

Select CBL/SAT

Right now it probably says NONE

Use the left or right arrow button until it says OPTICAL

hit ENTER and you're done.

Possibly an IP address conflict with the new smart TV. Try resetting the router. You may also want to try setting DHCP to OFF (p. 88) and assign a dedicated IP address.

About a week after setting my 1712 to allow HDMI passthough to my Samsung plasma, it started doing something strange. Now, when I change the volume up or down, with the AVR on, I get 2 or 3 different GUI images on the screen at the same time. At first I would only get the AVR's Master Volume display, now I get that plus another volume bar and a 3rd vertical volume bar on the left of the screen. They all show simultaneously and they flicker on/off quickly, even if I hold the volume button down.

Any ideas? Should I look at an HDMI setting on my TV? Strange how it started out of the blue 1-2 weeks after I hooked it up.

Also, I'm not able to turn all devices on/off at once, although the Denon remote was able to control my TV and DirecTV box immediately with no tweaking.

The TV's volume display is caused by having the HDMI-CEC (Anynet+) setting enabled on the TV. Set it to OFF.

Thank you, sir! Confirmed my suspicions. Could this also affect auto on/off of the AVR/TV/SAT?

The input assign /Optical as noted by the OP

Input mode/ Digital

Also if you ever want too, their is a Source Level to even out your Analog and Digital volumes by input.

Look at your router and see if the device is connected. You will the MAC address and the IP address. Try and ping it from a PC to see if it is really there. If your device is missing look at the logs on the router. Turn off the Denon. Turn off the router. Wait a minute. Turn on the router. Wait until the computers inside the house can connect to the Internet again. Then turn on the Denon. See what happens. View logs to diagnosis, in case there is a problem.
