BB Magnolia carry this brand as well... just saying to compare them in your reasearch...from a very happy long time owner of them. I have had mine Front L/R and CC for almost 10 years now and they sound as good as ever. I am considering moving them to the surround position and buying 2 new front L/R from Def Tech... just have to wait to evaluate the wallet condition after Xmas.

I went through the manual for the setup and what is confusing is that when I hook up the cable box "out" HDMI to the receiver "Game" HDMI it works just fine so it can't be the signal from the "out" on the cable box.

Thanks for your help.

Is there any way to email them without having to register on denon.com?

Looks like its telling the amp to bypass it's own internal video output/overlay when set to on.

The only connections between my components and the 2112 is hdmi, so it just appears to be refusing the "amp" setting. Any ideas? I have unplugged and am taking a little break . . .

Hi. I'm having a problem with a small home theater running through an AVR 1712 and I hope someone here may be able to help me figure out what is going on.

Here's my set up:
Apple TV(2) to AVR via HDMI
Sony BD Player to AVR via HDMI
AVR to Sony Bravia LCD Television via HDMI
Comcast cable connected to Sony Bravia directly (no set top box, etc.)
Optical audio from Sony Bravia to AVR

This has been working flawlessly since I purchased the 1712 in September. Mysteriously, when I turned the system on yesterday, I no longer had video coming from the AVR to the television--audio still goes back and forth, but no picture from the AVR; no Netflix menu, no iTunes menu, no Denon GUI overlay, nothing. I can hear all those things, but I can't see anything. I can still see cable TV, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the display itself.

Here's what I have tried so far:
Connected individual devices to Sony Bravia via HDMI (picture is visible)
Replaced HDMI cable from the AVR to the Sony Bravia
Tried different HDMI cables from devices to AVR
Switched HDMI ports between devices and AVR
Powered down, unplugged and reconnected everything
Reset the Apple TV
Reset the microprocessor on the 1712

None of these efforts has made any difference. I can't think of anything else to try. It seems to me that the HDMI output port on the 1712 may have stopped working, but that seems rather strange. Is there something I'm missing? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
George

Welcome.

2. This may be an issue with the DirecTV box. Also try all of the HDMI inputs

So from the above, the only option I have here is to either run a fiber for sound or don't stream to the TV? Seems kinda weird Denon would implement this feature like this. I would think I could pick my input choice.

Thanks again

I saw something about electronics expo possibly selling cheaper if you call them. Thanks in advance.

They didn't have the Def Tech Pro Cinema 800 speakers to audition but then had a Mythos Gem that the salesman said sounded about the same. I don't see how that can be when the Gem is $279 and the 800 is $145 but he didn't have one I could hear. I listened to some others including B&W CM1 that I liked the size of and the fact that it was white. The LR speakers will sit on a white painted built in bookshelf. They are $500 each. Then I could get a separate center in black that would go under my black TV. That one is $650. I looked everywhere on the internet for a better deal on the B&W's but couldn't find anything. They were also recommending a Rel subwoofer - it's little in size and don't remember the model #. That is another $600. I liked the sound of the Def Tech speakers until I listened to the B&W's and the difference was huge. I also called around for the Denon AVR-2112ci and found the best price at Electronics Expo at $449.99 including shipping. The salesman is also checking to see if he can get the Def Tech Pro Cinema 800 speakers in white and thinks I could get them for $1,099 including shipping (and tax). The MSRP is $1,199. I wasn't able to find a better price on those. He will call me tomorrow to let me know if he can get them at that price or better. Is there anything else I should look at for speakers in this price range? I could go as high as about $1,600 since I saved the $200 on the receiver. I don't want huge speakers and prefer white but the color is not a deal breaker. I could go about 15" tall and about 10" wide give or take a couple inches. Also, are there any other places to go to audition speakers other than BB Magnolia? We have a high end home theatre store in our area but I checked and they don't carry any of the brands that I see most talked about in this thread. Thanks for your help! This is an excellent forum - I'm learning a lot (painfully so!)
