Is the Denon AVR-X2600H receiver's internet speed capped at 100mbps please?
I haven't been able to find any information in the user manual. I ask as my wifi router states that the LAN speed to the receiver is 100mbps and so I wondered if I have a faulty device or router, or if this is the norm. Thank you.

Why would that be faulty? Your Denon can only stream audio files through its network connection and if it indeed has the older style 10/100mbps LAN port, that is way more bandwidth capability than is needed for that purpose. I assume your router has gigabit LAN ports and you have a direct connection to it? .. .thus your question?

Agreed, I don't believe my Denon receiver has a 'bandwidth test' as it's requirements for HEOS aren't much above 20Megs. That said, I do see some small 5 or 8 port switches that are not gigabit in capability.

Thank you Deano86. I use, as you correctly assumed a gigabit router and it is directly connected to the receiver. My question was less about whether a 100mbps connection is sufficient and more whether the Denon AVRX-2600H is restricted to that bandwidth. An academic question if you will! Do you know if the Denon AVR-X2600H has the older style LAN port? That would explain the issue.

I would guess it is... My Denon is obviously older than yours a 2014 ( AVR-X5200W) but yes, on the LED display of my TP-Link gigabit switch it does show that mine is connected at 100mbps port speed as well... There really is no need for a gigabit capable LAN port on a device that only streams audio anyway... but I assume your model also has wifi capability too, and I have no idea what those specs would be..

Does this receiver support 120hz at any resolution? Didn't think to try it out until tonight and my PS5 doesn't show it as a supported mode in 1080p or 4K. I might need to restart it, though.

I checked back about 20-30 pages and didn’t see anyone else ask.

If not, it's not a deal-breaker. Just curious, mainly.

Welp, nevermind. Found this in the PDF manual (page 231):

No, rather only on the current 2020 models with HDMI 2.1.

 

[pana3000]

Yes.

Ok...... So I should connect my Android box to an HDMI input ie 2, correct? Then do I shutoff arc capabilities and connect to the earc HDMI on the tv? How does the connection from receiver go to the tv, the earc HDMI? So I bought an extended warranty through the retail outlet where I bought the receiver. It's still applicable. Should I return the Ave to the dealer? They stated it may take up to 4 weeks to repair or a decision to be made. Should I do that, will the problem get worse down the line or is it best just to use tv as amonitor? Advice?

If you are no longer using the apps on board the TV, then it doesn't matter which HDMI input on the TV to connect the AVR. Purchase the Android box first and try using it to resolve your issue before decided to replace either the TV or the AVR.

Yes.

so after checking and rechecking all my settings the only time it worked properly was when I first got the receiver and also when I did a hard reset on both the Denon and the TCL tv and adjusted the settings then and then it lasted for 2 weeks. I have an extended warranty that covers the receiver but I'm wondering if it's worth bringing the Denon in and having it checked out? the retailer that sold it to me told me they could have the service manager check it out then if that fails, send it off to denon/repair to have it thoroughly serviced or checked. If that fails and it's faulty, then either replace with the same model if still available or trade up to a comparable one for thisyear. This means Im out with the receiver for 4 weeks. Worth it? advice? maybe I should just set up the tv as a monitor and be done with it.

hey here are the pics from my settings to see if you guys can tell. I'd rather have all working ie. my EARC on the receiver after spending $$ on it only 2 years ago. Can you guys see any issues here? thanks

 

[yahknow1]

I was like you with my last television and wanted to use my new TV's Smart Apps. After a few years I came to the conclusion that Streaming devices were just better than the TV in a lot of ways and now, yes I use my TV as just a monitor.

 

[StephenMSmith]

Dumb question about my 750H's amplifier power. I've always found it a little odd but not too concerning that my normal listening level is -5 db. I just replace to very small surround speakers w/larger 8 ohm speakers and notice volume level a bit lower at -5db after Audyssey calibration.

Am I right in assuming that the amplifier power is shared across all speakers (obviously) but does that mean that using less channels would increase the volume level at the same 0db? I think so. I'm currently using all 7 channels but with 2 subs so 5 speakers crossed-over at 80hz and the 2 new surrounds at 100hz.

 

[Dan in St. Louis]

Amplifier power sets a cap on the maximum that can be sent to the speakers before the onset of distortion. The actual volume level after Audyssey calibration will be the same up to that cap, unless the microphone positions are have been changed.

 

[ppasteur]

Entirely true, except if there has been any changes to the input sensitivity between the two receivers, or if the input levels had been changed manually on the older unit.
In any case, if sufficient audio levels are achieved without distortion, it is really not of any concern that the volume control levels differ.
