Update... Just to see what would happen, I did connect the HDMI cable from the computer directly to my TV, bypassing the AV receiver, and the computer did immediately recognize the TV. So that option, at least, is available if all else fails. I still would prefer routing the connection through...

Hmm...I was wondering about that @ChristopherG. I hope it isn’t receiver’s HDMI board, since that would be a more difficult repair, I assume. But, I have several other devices connected to the receiver via HDMI and none of them have shown any problems. So, I suppose that could be a sign that...

Hello. I prefer to play my games, which are all on my PC (Windows 11), using my 77-inch LG C1 OLED TV. Both the computer and the TV are connected to my Denon AVR-X4700H receiver. The computer's graphics card is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090. I've been noticing that there has been some image...

Hello. I still listen to live radio once in a while and would like to do that using my a.v. receiver, a Denon AVRX4700H. But, the listening experience, of course, is dictated by how clear a signal can be received. Unfortunately, the signal I receive is very weak to nonexistent. I believe this...

I’ll try doing that.

And now, after fiddling around with random settings, then going through the same HDMI connection test, the Roku now says “This HDMI connection can play video at resolutions up to 4K/Dolby Vision.” I don’t know what’s going on. Is this some sort of bug in this Roku device?

I went into the Roku’s settings and tested the HDMI connection. The Roku device returned a message that states “This HDMI connection can only play video at resolutions up to 1080p because HDCP 2.2 is not supported...” Meanwhile, I’m looking at the specs for my TV and it clearly lists that it...

Hello, John. Everything is already connected via the receiver. For the Roku, I have a wired internet connection. My internet speed is 408.11 Mbps for download and 22.31 Mbps for upload, according to Speedtest.

Just in time for the New Year, I finally upgraded my media room to 4K, installing these devices... —Denon AVR-X4700H AV Receiver —LG OLED 77C1 77-inch Television (OLED77C1PUB) —Panasonic DP-UB9000 Ultra HD 4K Blu-Ray Player —Roku Ultra HDR 4K UHD Streaming Media Player (2020 Edition) For now...

Finally had the time to really look into the options. I live in a large apartment building and, after looking at the article Dave referenced, I realized there must be a lot interference from the numerous wifi networks of my many neighbors. It seems that experiencing music via wifi without...

Thanks, Dave and John. I'll look into all of those options.

Now, I don't think the drop-outs have to do with the larger Apple Lossless Encoding file sizes. I just tried playing some smaller MP3 files using the av receiver and the same disconnection issue appeared again after a short few minutes. So, now I'm thinking I need either a better/faster wi-fi...

And now, there's one more issue. The connection to the Denon keeps dropping out when I play the music. It worked reliably at first but not anymore. I wonder if this is due to the larger file sizes of the Apple Lossless Encoding I selected when I reimported the songs. Or maybe it's the limit to...

Thanks very much, Dave. That did the trick. The music already sounds much better. I do notice that the songs are playing only in stereo, utilizing only the front left & right towers. I checked the stats of some of the actual music files and noticed they're AAC (or MP3) audio files designed to...

I play the songs in my music collection primarily from my iMac desktop computer, using iTunes (v. 12.6.2.20). But, I would like to improve the experience by playing them wirelessly via my 5.1 surround system. That's controlled by my Denon AVR-1912 receiver...

So, I returned home this evening to find my Pioneer PDP-5070HD fifty-inch plasma display, which I've owned since January of 2007, mysteriously turned on. It was displaying a blank screen and hearing static. It was definitely off when I left for work this morning. Just to make sure it was okay...

Great. Thanks for all your help, schan.

Thanks, Steve. I'll check them out.

I'm sorry, but I'm not quite as technical about this as you are so the meanings of the abbreviations aren't always readily apparent to me: what's S/PDIF? I'm using analog (the red & white connection), which must explain why all the sound is in 2.0 stereo. So, will both the toslink and digital...

Um... Sorry, but what is Toslink and STB?

Thanks, schan. Using the component connection seems to have resolved the problem. (The box had already been set to a fixed 1080i.) I'm curious, though, why the HDMI connection would cause such a problem while the component connection remains reliable. Do you know? Also, with the component...

I've been having a situation with my Time Warner Cable service where both the picture and sound, without warning, suddenly cut out completely for about a minute or two, then return, only to go black and silent again about five minutes later. Thinking it was a defective cable box, I had one box...

I just ordered it. Thanks very much for that recommendation, schan. It's nice to see such a simple solution exists.

I have a cable box (courtesy of Time Warner Cable) connected to my new (bought last spring) Denon AVR-1912 receiver. My Pioneer 50-inch plasma is also connected to my receiver. I've long noticed — even before I upgraded to my current receiver — that the sound and picture quality from the cable...

Thanks for the replies. Do you think the solution and cloth typically used for plasma screens and LCD computer screens could also work?

I was wondering how the rest of you clean the playable surface of your blu-ray discs without scratching them. Occasionally, discs that I order, even new ones, have little specs of lint or markings such as light fingerprints (or they attract such things). How do you clean the surface of the discs...

I recently acquired an Aperion Intimus 4T 5.1 audio setup, including the Aperion Intimus 4B bookshelf-style speakers as the surrounds. (A terrific investment, btw — I'm noticing all sorts of subtleties I never heard before.) Since I would prefer to mount the speakers on floor stands (as opposed...

Someone recommended I try using a Netgear Universal WiFi Internet Adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003KPBRRW/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller= It does seem to be the best solution. Questions: Does it work with Apple's AirPort Express, which is what I use to go wireless? Also...

I recently bought a Denon AVR-1912 Receiver. I would like to provide internet access to it through my wi-fi network so I can easily access firmware updates and try out its online services. However, I understand the receiver does not have a wi-fi dongle, just an ethernet port. I've also heard...
