The **OFFICIAL** Denon AVR-XX12 Model Owner's Thread - Page 333

I'm getting in the Denon 1712 today and I had a quick question. I have 2 surrounds that are 4 ohmn but the rest of my speakers are 8 ohmn. Will the 1712 have any problem powering and making the 4ohmn speakers work? And can I mix ohnm like I plan?

SCORE!
Just got 2112 brand new in box for $481.49 Thanks for the advise on calling them!!!

Yes you can mix as you plan. Surrounds require very little power.

Thanks Jdsmoothie! For some reason, I thought the "+PLiiZ" was supposed to be on the main display when I read the manual...but guess it is just the small icon on the display. Thanks!!

I've exchanged PM's with jdsmoothie and cistearns concerning this issue.

I have a new Denon 3312ci receiver hooked up to a new Sony 55HX929 TV via HDMI ARC. I hooked a new Blu-ray player up to the Denon, and was watching a movie for the first time when the Denon crapped out. Just turned off for no reason. Then the unit would only power on to "TV Stereo" with no sound or video, and wouldn't go into Standby mode (red ring around power button). After trying the "soft reboot" by unplugging the Denon and Sony power cords overnight and unplugging/re-plugging in and verifying all of the HDMI cables and speaker wire connections, I reset the CPU (Denon default settings restored). Then I couldn't get the OSD to come up, so I could set "HDMI Control" on the receiver to "On". Seems to me like "On" should be the default setting! I even reset the remote per instructions. The Sony TV HDMI-CEC settings look OK (tried setting on and off). I have one HDMI 1.4 cable between the HDMI ARC output of the Denon to the HDMI ARC input of the Sony, and a Panny 210 Blu-ray player hooked to the "BD" HDMI port in the back of the Denon. That's all I have!

I'm thinking that maybe the HDMI board in the Denon is not very robust. I've asked Electronics Expo to RMA the unit and exchange it for a new one, so we'll see what happens. Film at 11.

I find it interesting that Denon says that with 80% of units returned for repair, they cannot find any fault with them. I would REALLY like to know what the root cause of this problem is; if it's something I'm doing wrong or something is up with these xx12 units. Two times is the charm - if it happens again, I think I'll look for another brand receiver. Up until now, I've really liked this 3312, though, and would prefer to keep it. But........

Sure. The manual isn't always correct.

Thank JDSmoothie, I found that in his old posts. Changes your whole plan when you find out how cheap you can get a "good" receiver for. Until I found this forum I thought a Denon would be way out if my price range.

So is my 2112 defective then?

Everything else works fine though.

Well then , THANK YOU JDSMoothie for the advise

no... why would you think that?

it's 99.999999999% sure that your rips are bad...

re-rip... carefully...

Can now confirm all comments about the Samsung CEC related to standby pass through. With CEC off, standby pass through works as intended, so far so good.

The auto lip sync so far seems to be completely ineffective. Either cable box, AVR or TV are not hand-shaking or enabled or something. Fortunately, the manual delay is enough to resolve the issues so far but I'll do some more testing. It appears to be close to 100ms that audio was leading video.

Thumbs up for Electronics Expo. Item was brand new in sealed box with USA warranty etc. $449 shipped UPS ground as per other posts and threads. Jason at 152 helped me but I understand other reps give the same deal.

Hi everyone, I'm new here, finally ran an Audyssey that my old ears say it's time to leave it as is for a while. I want to save these Auddysey settings on networked laptop, and like some before me have posted, I get an error 'Save not complete. Please try again'. I've only read to about page 60 here, read about toggling the DHCP on/off, but that didn't work, same error. Is there a certain sequence, should I toggle while the laptop is trying to connect? I'm not on Net/USB while attempting to "save." Should other devices like BD be on/off? Any insight much appreciated, thank you. A, forgot, 2312ci

Did you read the guide provided in post #3?

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...p=20422026#E10

I did not try the 'Stop Playback' only switched otherSources from Net/USB. Thank you, will try tomorrow.

Same here....just got a 2112 brand new in box shipped from JR for $475

Just ordered a new 1912 from Electronics Expo for $378

Advice?.....putting in a 15x20 foot room that already has 4 JBL Northridge satellites front and back high on 12 foot ceilings with a matching center speaker. Without knowing how they might sound would anyone recommend a sub woofer and/or front speakers yet? Looking for good HT sound and decent music but don't want to spend too much. Thinking of polk PSW 10 or energy ESW -C8. Thanks.

Sweet....
I could have paid less but there were required to charge me sales tax 7% witch added $35

thats s solid deal dude, well done.

Hi, jdsmoothie, it worked pressing the square 'Stop playback', saved in a few minutes, 340kb. Next step was to 'Save' the file, I saw it in downloads, but did not know how to save on computer, I'll work on that. Thank you again,

^^
Glad to help. Be sure to review the rest of post #3 as well to resolve any other setup issues you might have.

Was there another firmware update for the 2112 tonight?

I got a firmware update prompt.

Please help on the setup of my Denon 1712. I have all the speakers plugged in(5.0). I don't have a sub yet. For speakers I have Polk Audio Monitor 2 series 70 and a cs2 series 2 center. I'm running some old KEF as the surrounds. There only 4 ohms. I would like my speakers to make up for not having a sub. I need initial setup either way if anyone can help. I have my ps3 going to game via hdmi and I have my htpc going to optional via hdmi. If anyone has any questions I will answer in a timely fashion. I don't plan on going to bed till I can get it sounding right. Thank you. O I messed with alot of things so maybe a factory reset would be a better starting point. Anyone know how this is done? Thanks

The reset procedure is listed on p. 96 in your Owner's manual and in post #5 in this thread. Once done, just start the AUTO SETUP procedure by plugging in the Audyssey mic to the front panel input jack and follow the directions on the GUI. Suggest you also review the Audyssey Setup Guide and the AUTO SETUP section in post #3, both of which are linked in my sig.

Ok I just got the reset done. I've had the receiver for about 2 hours and I already messed it up . Ok any recommendations on setting it up without a sub? Also I noticed when I setup through audessey before I could either choose between 5.1, 7.1, or custom. Any recommendations there?

forgot to thank you.

If you run AUTO SETUP, the AVR will correctly setup your system, setting the front mains to LARGE and the others as either LARGE or SMALL based on how they react in your room.

Ok, I'm going to start now. Thank you. I'll post my results after im done. Thank you.

Adam

Do I want Dynamic volume on and what does it do?
