Check page 24 of the 1613 manual. Step 16 sets it.
I reckon there are ways to set/unset it not having to go through the whole audyssey setup. I own a 3313 and the menu structures are quite distinct. Search the .pdf version of your manual on dynanic volume and you should hit it soon enough.

Cheers,

Michael

....One question that's perplexing me. I'm hooking up an Xbox 360 and a PS3, and the receiver is exhibiting a weird behavior with both of them. Initially I ran both consoles to my TV through HDMI and then ran an optical cable from TV to receiver, so I would only have to change inputs on the TV and leave the receiver on the same input all the time. When hooked up like this, the 360 worked fine, but I would hear no sound out of the PS3 for 2-3 seconds after it would start sending a signal to the receiver. For instance in the XMB menu, if I start navigating the menu, the little "ding" menu sound is missing for the first two or three movements, then kicks in afterward. If I let it sit for another 5 seconds and then start navigating again, same thing. It's almost like the receiver is going to "sleep" in the absence of a signal and then taking a few seconds to wake up again.

I tried instead connecting the consoles directly to the receiver's HDMI inputs and then running a single HDMI to the TV, and now the reverse is true. The PS3 outputs sound properly, but the 360 is exhibiting the weird sleep-lag phenomenon, so if I move around the dashboard menu, or go from silence to playing music, the first couple of seconds doesn't register and then it kicks back in.

Both consoles are set to output basic stereo audio, so I would have thought the receiver would simply pass this signal through without incident, but it seems there's some kind of processing delay taking place.

Any tips to alleviate this problem? I've dug around the setup menu and manual to no avail.

Also, if you were on my website you should have read that the inputs you were trying to assign are NOT assignable... But that's a secondary point because its not the issue here.

I'm not concerned with video conversion. I'm just trying to get their dvd player connected to the bookshelf speakers that I got for them because their hearing is starting to go. I have an hdmi cable running from the avr to the tv and rca cables from the dvd player to the avr.

Thanks for your help.

1. I have seen posts but still not 100%, is it possible to listen to what ever is on the main zone on the zone 2 speakers? If so, how. Don't care if output is stereo, just want to hear pre game in the kitchen before game starts.

2. Does the AVR auto pick best sound output? If I hit the music button for example how do I get back to auto.

3. I noticed that my screen was shaking at random times, I did a processor reset and it hasn't done it since but it's only been 2 days. Anyone else notice video shaking a bit?

Help needed! We have had the 2113ci for 5 months now and have never had a single issue with it. Last night, while watching a movie, the receiver started turning off and the green light started blinking red (both in .5 second and 2 second intervals). Upon reading online we moved the receiver so it was in the open to make sure it cooled down, and turned down the volume on the movie. So far so good, until today.

We were listening to music today and the receiver turned off again, only this time it will NOT turn back on, it goes right to the fast blinking red light. We've checked the speaker wires in the back and they appear to not be touching any other posts. Any other thoughts as to what it could be? Any way we could reset the receiver and see what happens? We unplugged it about 15 minutes ago and will see what happens when we do that.

Doing lots of research on receivers for an upgrade from my Onkyotx-nr609. Last week I looked at Marantz 5007, 6007, 7005. Now looking at the Denon 2113, 2313, 3313. The main reason for upgrading is audyssey multieq, I have an HSU VTF-15H with Definitive Technology 8060 towers, 8040 centers, 8040 rears and pro monitor 1000's up front high. Between the Denon & Marantz all these models have multieq. Watts per channel from 95-125, of course not much audible difference. And other features I really don't care much about. Are there any differences in the amplifier hardware between these models? Better amps? Why not get the Denon 2113 or Marantz 5007? I'm just trying to find out if spending more is necessary.

As far as the Denon models the 3 mentioned are all good. I have the 2313ci and happy so far. The 3313 adds pre-outs for all channels if you need that option.
With your powered subs you might not need as much power as other users

It is a slash (/) character and it appears right below the preset number (in my case, this is preset station number one, so it appears right below the "01". The slash appears for 10 seconds, then is absent for 10 seconds, and then repeats.



I've gone all though the manual and can't find any explanation for this. Can anyone tell me what this means?

Thanks,

1. Not as Zone 2 no. Analog connected sources, USB, FM radio, and network sources only (ie. no HDMI and no optical/digital coax). However, if you set them up as "Front B" via Amp Assign, the same signal going to the Front A speakers will pass to the Front B speakers as well (HDMI or otherwise).
2. Nope. It plays what it receives.
