    Denon 2802 Shuts Off When Playing a DVD. Any Ideas?

    I use banana plugs on the receiver side and bare wire on the speaker side. And when I was playing Godfather I had it at -15dB so maybe it was too loud because when I watch TV at a lesser volume I never have the receiver shut off.

    Any Recommendations for a Good 2 Channel Receiver under $200?

    I'm looking for a good 2 channel receiver to power my speakers. It's mainly for music and has to be under $200. If you have any suggestions for used models that are under $200 I'd welcome those thoughts too.

    No Sound From a Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer

    Ok, here's what I did to my sub. I left the level input at max and the crossover at max on the sub. Connected speaker wires from the left and right main speaker outputs from my receiver (Denon 2802) to the left and right speaker inputs on the Sony sub. Then, I connected speaker wires from the...

    No Sound From a Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer

    No I haven't tried hooking up via the speaker level inputs because the Denon 2802 doesn't have speaker binding posts for the subwoofer. It only has an RCA out for the subwoofer. Thanks.

    No Sound From a Sony SA-WM40 Subwoofer

    I bought a Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer about a week ago and I hooked it up via RCA jack on my Denon 2802. I set all my speakers to small, chose yes for subwoofer, set the crossover on the receiver at 120hz and left the LFE level at 0db. I set the crossover on the sub at 170hz which is the highest...

    Why amplify?

    How much better can a separates system sound over a flagship receiver? Will it blow me away or is it subtle? Also, is it inconvenient to operate a separates system? Do I have to manually control the volume on the amp or would the prepro be able to control the volume? Lastly, how much do...

    I have a Sony 27" Wega KV-27FS12 that I have calibrated somewhat using Avia's color test, black & white test. I didn't try convergence, any of the geometry stuff, or disabling red push because I did not know how to do it using the service menu. Do I need to get a service manual from Sony to...

    Dolby Digital on Gamecube

    So if Nintendo just designed a video cable that also had an optical or coax audio cable attached to it that was to be plugged into the Digital Port then Gamecube could theoretically output DD 5.1? And if so, then does Batman:Vengeance for Gamecube support DD 5.1 since it said it did on the back...
