Its a pain in the butt, but having an alternate output while you adjust the hdmi settings is the only way to fix the issue. |

Does this mean MultEQ XT is only available in 7.1 setups? Mine is 5.1. Does this explain why the XT is not illuminated? |

Although if money is not the issue, spring for the next model up, 2112CI which offers a better version of Audyssey MultEQ XT as well as a 3rd year of warranty.

Once you get a good sub reading, then you run the full set of 6 or 8 Audyssey readings.]

Now here is my problem, I have tried the Dave Matthews bluray (radiocity) and it should be playing in trueHD however for some reason the receiver isn't cooperating. I noticed it that the sub is not playing at all. I also have this issue with other high def programing. During the test the sub works fine. It is connected with HDMI. Under the info section in the menu it says the audio is in 2/0/.0 I cycle through the different options when I hit MUSIC and MOVIE buttons on the remote but the only options I get are Dolby IIPx, NEO 6, and things like virtual. I have tried putting it into source direct (I think I did that correctly) but nada. I CAN get sound from all the speakers with the dolby and neo settings but I am looking for trueHD but according to the manual the settings I get are given to me because the receiver is only seeing 2.0 setup? Is that right? Anyone have an idea what setting (maybe even an AUTO) I am missing on the receiver that is not allowing 5.1 to come through? I remember on an old integra 9.8 it automatically detected if trueHD was playing and put it in that mode. |

Another thought to consider: because 5.1/7.1 analog inputs are generally designed to take a fixed line level input from a blu ray player (vs. the variable line level the denon preouts will provide), first setting the Denon to a fixed volume (ideally, just shy of clipping the preouts), then only using the volume control on the external receiver acting as the amp may work better overall from a signal-to-noise ratio perspective. Of course this method works if all speakers are connected to the secondary receiver only. I agree though, it's difficult to part with a older receiver that has an awesome amp section just because it's preamp section is out of date, so any creative method of repurposing it is definitely worth the experimentation. |
keep at it! it's a setting on your sources that's off.
I did get an out of phase error on the Surround Left speaker. Could this cause it? I am beginning to wonder if the MultEQ XT is enabled. The light works, but something is stopping the receiver from enabling the indicator light.
