Yes, someone pointed that out to me and it ultimately led to me ordering one as well. $120-150 savings over the Denon option was too good to let go. Hopefully it all works out for me!

While there are some great deals on prior gen models, I definitly want something with HDMI 1.4a and network support as well as AIrPlay, so that pretty much forces me into something new. I've seen numerous mentions of Vann's 20% off on receiver, simply call in and order and from what i can see...

If you compared the Denon 2312 vs the Pioneer 1121, does your opinion change? SInce you mention a Wii and older DVD player, it seems like you may be taking into effect hte video scaler that the Pioneer 1121 has vs. the lack of one in the Denon 2112? I would be willing to go up to the price...

I'll preface this by saying I've owned two receivers in my lifetime, a Denon AVR-2800 which I had for 10 years. Ran cool, never a single problem. Highly outdated, and thus replaced about 2 years ago with an Onkyo TX-SR806. Got it for a great price. Lots of features, runs really hot. Began to...

The samsung LN52A630 (matte) has a 40:000:1 contrast ratio and the LN52A650 (glossy) has a 50:000:1 contrast ratio. The panels are identical, the contrast ratio difference is due to the matte vs. glossy. I looked into the 7 series, same exact panel/glossy screen as the A650 but with more gadgets...

I'm trying to determine if I'm going to be better off one way or another when it comes to glossy screen vs. matte screen for my room. The sliding glass door is on a patio which has an overhang. If you look out the door from within the room, you are looking south. The door is on the...

So it's basically a coaxial(wire) based IR extender. That could definitely be useful in this particular setup, as I may have a need for IR extender because the source components are down low and not in direct line of sight. However, this does not eliminate the need to chnage the channel # on...

Thanks. I'm trying to find an RF Modulator that is also a video input switcher. I'd liek to feed 2 sources into the modulator and have it output to the same channel on the TV (so the TV does not need to be adjusted). I'd also like the Modulator/Switcher itself to be IR controlled, so someone...

I am hooking up some equipment for a friend of a friend in their kitchen. The kitchen was remodelled and there is a TV in a center island on a lift. The source components are across the kitchen in another area. For some reason, the only connection between the center island TV and the source...

This is my living room, where my fiance and our spend much of our evenings and weekends. We are in the process of trying to get new furniture but our choices will be effected by HT layout and room layout. So here's what I got: Total room dimension is 13.3' wide and 16.8' long Second, a...

Update. Watched all 3 movies with DTS tracks yesterday. Did some close listening to my rear speakers. The rear channels (as well as front L/R and sub) were working, but I noticed that volumes from those increased through each disc. In Rambo I, effects were barely audible in rear...

Hope this is the right forum, but I just purchased the Rambo Trilogy and I'm playing it through a Sony S330 DVD player into a Denon AVR-2800. I know all 5.1 of my speakers are working, the little DTS test track that plays before the movie does goes through all my speakers, but it seems the...

I just realized, that only having a cable signal into my receiver and TV directly, means I need to have my receiver on if I ever want to record TV. My cable box only has 2 outputs, 1 RF and 1 RCA set. In a situation like tonight, I want to record some TV, but I won't be home till tomorrow...

Something similarly related. I've got a Denon AVR-2800. I believe they have a fixed crossover at 80hz in the receiver on the sub pre-out, is this correct? I want to make sure before I move my x-over on my Infinity sub.

Chuck, Thanks again. I believe I understand. Any device listed in REC OUT will receive the output signal from the device I currently select as REC OUT via the RCA Output for that device. So the receiver is pushing the REC OUT signal through ALL of it's outputs essentially.

What defines where Rec Out goes to? If I select Rec Out based on the input that I want to record from, then what defines where it goes to? YOu said it goes to VCR. Is it ALWAYS defined as VCR? What happens when I set Rec Out to VCR1? Does it use VCR2? What if I wanted to record out to a...

Interesting. Works differnetly then I though. Rec Out is the device you want to rec out from, not rec out to. Am I correct in that I set the Source to Cable/DBS as well like I have been?

Chuck, I do have my cable box connected via analog RCA's to the 2800 and did have the VCR set to Line In but got nothing recorded. I set the 2800 Source to Cable/DBS. I tried it with rec out set to VCR1 and got nothing. I'm not sure if I tried it with rec out actaully not being on at all...

I own an AVR-2800 but I'd like to know if other models can do this if mine can't. I have my cable box routed to my AVR2800. I have my VCR routed to VCR1 with ins going to outs and outs going to ins. I'd DO NOT have cable out from the cable box going into the VCR. I can watch TV just dandy...

bump bump. one last try before I just brake down and am forced to use 2 way splix coax. someone help so I dont have to subject myself to that :)

bump. I know at least 100 of you have Denon receivers :)

This is pretty remedial but I can't figure it out and it's the first time I've tried to do this. Here's the setup: Cable Box RCA Outs -> 2800 Cable RCAs In Tosh VCR LineOut -> 2800 VCR1 In 2800 VCR1 Out -> Tosh VCR LineIn I'm trying to record off cable to my Tosh VCR so I select Source as...

My pioneer box switches between analog and digital connections on it's own. If it's a non DD broadcast, then the analog inputs are used only. I know this because I first only had the digital connector in and had no audio except on some premium channels (HBO for example) thas thappened to be...

Ok, when I popped in Saving Private Ryan DD5.1 it didn't appear to be hissing, nor did SPR DTS. So it appears the hissing is only related to watching TV or playing CDs. I havn't been able to unplug my receiver from the HTS-1000 and go directly into the wall as of yet, but will try that...

Slightly more info: Speakers are connected to the Denon using Radio Shack dual banana plugs at speaker end and single plugs at the receiver end. Speaker wire is only a standard 16g radio shack brand in white. All my equipment is plugged into a Monster HTS-1000

Speakers were all calibrated with Avia to 85dB. No speaker level adjustment is above +3dB. Receiver has seen very little use (I'd say no more then 30 hours) over the past 2 years. Speakers are equal in age. The hiss is noticeale at any volume, but it increases as the volume does. I hear...

BTW, Speakers are NHT SuperOnes all around. I can hear this sound in Pro Logic TV mode or 5 CH Stereo mode. I just did a quick test by playing a DVD from my Sony 330 which is connected via an AR Optical cable to the 2800 and the hissing is also there, so I'm inclined to thing it's inherant in...

Whenever I watch TV through my Denon 2800 from my Pioneer Digital Cable box there's always this background noise type of hiss. The cable box is connected to the 2800 with AR Digital Audio cable for Digital Broadcasts and AR Audio Cables for all standard TV broadcasts. Is this normal or is...

Scott, I followed all the Sony lip sync threads and remember the repair and how the lip sync problems get worse the more you use it. When I replace this player, I will call and see if they will still repair it. If not, it's no big deal since it's going to see no use for a while, and perhaps...

I'm considering getting a bigger TV and relocating mine to the living room which will shortly have no TV. I currently have a Sony Trinitron 27FV42. I'd like to get a something flat and here's where I run into not knowing what's good out there. There's Sony Wega and HDTV wega. There's...
