The **OFFICIAL** Denon AVR-XX12 Model Owner's Thread - Page 585

Yes it is possible. There are two ways to do this. I use both at different times.

The way I do it is I connect the component cable out from your Sat. box to the assignable component in, to avr. This allows you to assign the component Sat box to an unused input and either use analog Red/White or assign digital Optical/Coax for music or what ever you want to listen to.
I use this method with the superior component video with the Optical audio from my apple Tv.

I then connect a composite yellow from Sat box out to avr composite Sat/Cable in. This allows you to use the Video Select feature on nearly any of your inputs including Net/Usb and Airplay. The only caveat to this option is that when using there must be no Hdmi or Component assigned. The Hdmi and Component must be set to none.
I use this option mainly for Net/Usb.

^^
You should be able to use the "Video Select" setting with the component video input from the cable box as well.

If you use this method please let me know; I could not get this to work.

Are you also using a non-HDMI audio source? The "Video Select" feature should work with any analog video input (just not HDMI). As noted by the 3312CI Owner's manual, in addition to the composite and S-Video inputs source inputs (BD, DVD, DVR, SAT/CBL, V. Aux, Dock) which cannot be changed to another source name when used, the feature should also work with the TV, GAME1, and GAME2 inputs which can only be "assigned" to the component video inputs in order to use the Video Select feature (as noted in the Owner's manual section below, p. 92).

Yes component tried 3 different cables see posts a couple pages back

It should work as long as you're using non-HDMI sources. Perhaps another XX12 model Owner can confirm?

I'm gonna try on the 3311; but, listening to ball game local broadcast over the Net on surround backs via Zone 2 works better for me anyway

Well then stop posting and go listen to the ole ball game!

On one of those Braves radios they always talk about?

Heh .. heh ... yeh, that's the ticket!

Watching One Source While Listening To Another Source Using Video Select or Input Mode:

Video Select Feature

1. If you want component Video Select you must connect a component cable from your source to a component input on your avr and then use the input name. eg. If you are in Aux.--- in Video Select choose Aux. Make sure you have 1 or 2- rca that you choose in Input Assign under Comp. Hdmi has to be set to None.

2. For composite analog yellow you must use the input name that you choose when plugging your yellow composite into your avr. eg. If you plugged your yellow composite into Sat/Cable on your avr, when in any supported Video Select input, select Sat/Cable in Video Select and as long as there is no Hdmi or Component selected in Input Assign the video from Sat/Cable will play. This method is the only one that will work in Net/Usb/Airplay.

If you want to watch a source and listen to another and you would use it periodically you may want to set up one of these options on an unused input so it will be there with one click on your remote by clicking on that input, just add an Analog or Digital audio. Read below how to add the audio using input mode.

Input Mode Feature

For those who want to watch Hdmi source and listen to a different source there are two options as you can separate the Audio from the Video in Hdmi using Input Mode:

1. Run a Digital, optical/coax from your source to any of the assignable Optical or Coax inputs on the back of your avr and in Input Assign select it under Digital. These Are Assignable.

2. Run an Analog, red/white composite cable from the source that you want and plug them into a source on your avr that you want to use them when selected. These Are Not Assignable.

To use these options go to Input Setup--->Input Mode and select the mode that you want to listen in, Analog or Digital.

For your original Hdmi audio source simply switch to Hdmi in Input Mode to go back to Hdmi audio.


AVR'S Without Video Conversions

For Video Select you will need to double connect meaning you must plug your video source (component or yellow composite) into the in inputs on your avr and then run another cable from the avr out to tv and follow the steps above for video select.
My advice with non conversion models is if you only have 1 source that you would use the Video Select with I would just connect the analog component or composite directly to Tv from source. This allows you toggle more freely the audio source video when needed.

Input Mode will work as usual as their is no video conversion needed for this method and will probably be the choice du jour as it uses the higher res. Hdmi video and no extra cable to the tv.


NOTE: I have the previous year 991 avr and the menu names may be slightly named differently but the features are there if your model supports it.

Well I tested the same movie on my LG Blu ray players Netflix app and same thing. Dialogue comes out of the left channel and the center channel is playing the left speakers track. The movie is Mission Impossible 3. I'm in canada but using American netflix via unblock-us.com. I also just watched Craigslist Joe on the WDTV box and it had a dolby digital plus soundtrack and it played perfectly. Must be a bad stream. So bizzare.

Anybody ever seen anything like this?

Hey guys I have a Denon 3312 receiver connected with Martin Logan Motion speakers and a B&W subwoofer. My question is why is my sub so loud????? I used the microphone to set up the system and my sub is too loud even though the receiver settings have the channel at -12.

turn down your sub and re-run until you at least get the sub settings below -12; it reached its limit of correction, could've maybe needed -15, for instance

Take a look at the post below as well as reviewing the Audyssey 101/FAQ Guide linked in my sig.

Regardless of where you play the Netflix movie, the source is still Netflix. Try playing other Netflix movies.

Missiion impisible thru netflix doesnt have the 5.1 sound.

any chance of getting a LANDSCAPE look from the iPhone App? neither Denon nor Marantz Apps offer this (nor Panasonic or LG, for that matter)

Can I use Zone 2 in my 1912 if Zone 1 is not in use (off)?

you can on my 3312; just happen to be listening to Pandora on Surround Backs (Zone 2) and watching NCAA BB Zone 1; cut off zone 1 and 2 kept playing

I have a question, I have RCA cables from my PC audio connected to my AVR 1612 to the DVD audio input For some reason when I use direct I don't have the sub in the mix but if I do music then I get Neo:6 is it possible to get the sub with direct?

Direct mode in your situation is two channel w/o the subwoofer. Use Stereo if you want the subwoofer included.

Using RCA cables from your PC to receiver is a 2 channel signal. No .1 signal available so your subwoofer will not be used.

Direct and Pure Direct modes disable Audyssey and bass management, so unless there is a LFE signal (ie. .1 in DD/DTS 5.1) then the sub would be silent. You can enable the sub by setting the sub to LFE+Main.

Yes. Simply set Zone 1 to OFF.

Thanks!

Thanks! That worked

Did you not read the part where I said I just played Craigslist joe with dolby plus and it played fine? And in my original post I also stated I'd watched others on netflix without issue.

And MI 3 on netflix most definitely has 5.1 sound. It has dolby plus but the stream appears to be faulty.

Sorry, but missed that in your first post, however, as the issue does not present on all movies, it would seem to be Netflix related.

Having trouble getting the setup on my 1912 to accept my netgear wmce2001 wifi adapter.
I set up the adapter with my pc no prob. But the 1912 won't accept it. Any thoughts?

Are you using the Netgear as a "wireless bridge" as Netgear routers don't generally have any problems? Try disconnecting the other devices with the AVR being the only connection for the setup process at least.
