DD 5.1 Drop Outs w/Dish 5000 HD-Panny Combo & Denon 4802 Rcvr.

Do a search in the hdtv recorder forum for this problem. The problem is that the panny has errors and the dennon does not know how to handle the errors. The dennon is built using shark dsps and only the cyprus? dsps can handle errors. There is an obsolete device that will fix the problem if you can find it. again the details are in previous posts in the recording forum.

Yes that is the solution for Dennon receivers but dont you loose some of the dennon processing if you decode externally?


That is why there is a list of the receivers compatible with the Panny in the recording forum. Any receiver that uses the Analog devices shark dsp is not going to work! It cannot handle errors while some receivers using a different dsp (Cirrus or cyprus?) will work since they have the patent on error correction. That is why I will not buy a Dennon. ( A great receiver otherwise)

I like everything the Denon otherwise has to offer and I got one at a great price, so I will keepo it and I will use the Technics SHAC500 DD/DTS Decoder 6 ch analog out into the ext. in of the Denon 4802.


I also have an HD accessDTV and RCA DTC-100, so...my loss of THX processing etc won't affect themn or my DVD's, and there will always be something else down the road.


I expect in the next year or so there will be coinvergence of USB/IEEE/DVI/Ethernet/IP and other technologies that tie the whole home network toghether with home entertainment.
