Anthem D2/D2v/AVM50/AVM50v/ARC1 tweaking guide - Page 1251

good luck :-)

I actually don't mind EQ ing them together as long as I can keep their distances separate. Is that possible?

Did you READ the Multi-Sub FAQ links HERE and Bob's Recommended Procedure HERE

Do not worry about things that do not matter. ARC hears and sets accordingly.

AGAIN - I have (6) subs all over the room. Distance means nothing.

If I want to raise my MAX EQ FREQUENCY from 5000 KHz to 15000 KHz do I need to re-measure( re-run ARC), or can I just raise it, 'calculate', and 'upload'?

Just recalculate and upload making sure the correction curve doesn't change too much at the lower end.

I am actually getting the new D2V 3D. What difference is there really besides the 3D? I am not really interested in 3D.

RESALE VALUE - RESALE VALUE - RESALE VALUE

Lol!

3D is important to everyone else.

All 3D means is your HDMI inputs 1-4 have a Through Mode and are 1.4 compliant. Other than that nothing.

I'm disappointed in Anthem customer service. I've been on hold for a good half hour, and no one's picked up the phone.

it's a holiday in Canada

Thanks, that explains it.

Are you eligible for the early 3D kit soon to be available?
Simple.
If your D2v serial comes after 142626 then you are.
If not then wait for the next batch.

I spoke to Anthem tech support, and he suggested I restore factory defaults. Doing so gave me rear channels on both DTS MA and PCM with DP IIx, so I'm happy. Only problem is, I lost them again when I reloaded my settings. So now I just have to change things one at a time to see what setting made me lose the rear channels.

Edit: Found it. DPL IIx won't extract the rear channels on DTS MA and PCM if there is no center channel (I use a phantom center). The rears only appear on Dolby tracks (either lossless or lossy), and DTS lossy.

I purchased my 50v in April 2011 and therefore i am within the sugguested time frame for a cheaper upgrade. Do we need to contact our seller or will they be contacting us? Is this a free if you know about it deal or for all that recently purchased and Anthem will be contacting us?

Regards

Hope you get it fixed. Mary you shout remeassure

Check with your dealer and if they don't know what's going on, call Anthem.

Thanks. That's the answer I was looking for.

I have an Oppo 95 into my D2v. I would like to 'bypass' the D2v for the analogs (by using analog-direct with no ARC processing) and use the distance settings in the 95 instead by setting them to small? Are there any dis-advantage(or bugs) in using the small speaker setting in the Oppo?

- David

ARC comes with the cables, right? I only need to get the USB Serial adapter?

New Arc units are now is shipped with the USB Serial adapter. And yes all the cables are included.

How will you control the volume ?

Why not use the analog output of the Oppo 95 which has an exceptional DAC for analog output and use Analog Direct from the D2v.
This bypasses any processing in the Anthem except the volume control which is not digital.
You only need to set the speakers to small and large for surround processing in the digital domain.

Thanks! You just saved me $25!

Be sure to let Anthem know what you found so they can add it to the bug list.

I hope someone will soon give us a review of how well the D2V works in passthrough mode. I think there are a lot of people looking forward to this feature.

One would think the BETA testers could speak up NOW.

That is exactly what i was thinking of doing but needed specific details on how to implement it. Thx for the details.

Now, for Analog Direct, is it completely 'ARC-free'? No remnants of ARC, i.e Bass Management configurarions, level trims, xovers etc? I ask because i tried the analog direct route with my stereo analog i/ps and still got sound from my sub. I expected a 2.0 output but instead got a 2.1 output (My normal music speaker config with ARC engaged is 2.1). What gives?

- David

It works fine. 3D looks as good as it can depending on source material, player and display. I haven't used it with 2D but will try it soon just for fun. Switching sources is faster and going in and out of the setup menu is faster with no visual anomalies. If you're into 3D and don't want to use drhankz alternate method, go for it.

Anlg Direct bypasses the A/D converters, thus disabling any DSPs. Anlg DSP uses the A/D so all DSP processes are available. This applies to both 2-ch and 6-ch analog inputs. That's what the manual says, anyway.
