    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Michael? I may be wrong (nothing new there), but I seem to recall you mentioning some time ago about the possibility of an upgrade. And others, too. But I don't really feel like going over this whole thread again to find those references. It has been a rolling topic here, though. Ha!

    I didn't realize that there were trade-up options for anything other than Lexicon products, if that's true for the Aragon Stage One and the ACT3. What would they be trading up to? I'm hoping the upgrade is soon. There have been lots of rumors and innuendo here and other places alluding to...

    I'm assuming you meant composite, not component video inputs. I'm also assuming that adapter will do the converting of signal to S-Video. Otherwise you will have to use a composite cable to the TV to see the lasers. Good luck. I use a Pioneer combo player to play my lasers and DVD's. Fortunately...

    Brian, You can find a dealer for Anthem at their website dealer locator. Prices will vary from dealer to dealer. I suspect that now you'll probably pay closer to list price since it's gotten so much more popular and demand is high. That also means you may have to wait for it after ordering...

    Evan, Those were my thoughts, too. I did not understand why they used the term "entry level" instead of best value as you suggest. Sometimes I seem to miss the mentality of the writers at that magazine. I have heard the Krell, and while it is excellent, I don't perceive the difference they...

    I believe that the Analog-DSP setting should work in 6 ch. S/E the same as with other inputs, i.e. the sub shold be sent to the mains when there is no sub present, and No is selected in the sub menu. It sends LFE to both the sub and the mains for me from the 6 ch. S/E, since I have it set for...

    So, then is DVD ETC the name of the magazine? If so, I'll just look for it at my local newstand. If that isn't the title, please let me know the full title, and which issue it's in. thanks, Chris.

    How about a link to the review? I'm not sure otherwise where this review is and I'd like to read it. I'm looking forward to the next upgrade, but I don't mind if it takes a little longer and comes without the bugs we experienced with 2.0. i also hope to be able to install from my Mac, instead...

    Paul, It's a quick fix. Just a 1 amp slowblow. you can tell which one it is and the shack does sell them in 2 packs. just take the old one with you and get the right size (physically) with the right rating. it will be in one of the fuse drawers in the back. Just don't let them actually touch...

    Wow, almost a week gone by and no new posts. Things must be working right! 8 Mile sounds awesome with the AVM20. Anyone like any of the new movies coming out? I wonder when next the software upgrade will happen?

    Lee, Are there any local electronics supply stores around you? Most that I have been in here in Colorado and also when I lived in the DC area had an assortment of cables. they also had parts, but since you don't want to build one, don't bother looking for those, but I'd still check a store...

    I ran version 1.12 for 6 months with no problems. I only really did the upgrade to get PLII and THX Ultra2 and DTS Discrete. I think a lot of the board problems are due to installer err's. Static electricity is the bane of the digital existence. After a few conversations with Anthem (I had a...

    Bruce, If you are using the digital output of your demodulator and connecting it to, say, the aux input, you may need to select the digital input in menu #2 Audio/Video-In Format/Main. I think the default is either analog or analog-DSP. Just checked the manual and it is defaulted to...

    Lee, Oh, I was never suggesting to replace your Forte's. I love mine, too. the Rc-7 was just the biggest, closest, match I could find at the time. I will not buy any more new style Klipsch, just the "classic" designs from now on.If I had the room (and the money) I'd have Klipschorns with a...

    I thought there were some great suggestions. We might get lucky, but who knows for sure until the next upgrade comes out. Nick says 2.1 should be Mac enabled too, so no more horror upgrade stories for me.

    Yeah, I just got an email from Nick saying the version he sent me 3 days ago is the same one that is posted as 2.09. My problem seems to be fixed and I haven't heard any more pops or ground hums, either. I hope the next upgrade posted is 2.1, not another bug fix. Marc, I hope your machine...

    Well, after an arduous task of installing the patch, it seems like it fixed my bug. Just tried to make it happen a few more times and could not. Those guys at Anthem are fast. I'm glad to be able to use the copy function again. I'll be looking forward to the next big upgrade whenever it...

    Miguel, And Michael is also correct to point out th ecneter EQ feature. I just forgot about it. Please read those passages he specified to help you understand how to use the feature. They also mention that it might sound better not engaged to you so use your ears to make it your own.

    Michael, Nick understood what was happening and my guess is that he was able to duplicate it. He gave my sequence to the software guys yesterday. What you did is pretty much what I've been doing, including the soundfield you had selected, Anthemlogic-Cinema for the second input. Oh well. It...

    OK, no problem, I can make this happen any time. The sequence is, Main on,select an input (in my case DVD), then turn Zone 2 on, copy Main to Zone 2, then you can turn Zone 2 off and select another input (in my case TV) and it appears. The volume is soft, but enough to cue my modulator into...

    I had a good talk with Nick this morning. Told him what all happened and he is going ot try and replicate it. I certainly hope that my bug will not hold up any future software upgrades since it can be gotten around. The peculiar way that I have my Zone 2 configured is the only way it came to...

    Also, doing the A/B switch thing you outlined would entail more wiring in the wall at this point although a switcher like that should provide the brickwall between the two signals as you suggest. the current setup was done to accommodate my wife while she is cooking and a movie or other video...

    Michael, Yes, video was being sent. But, it's the audio that causes the interference. And only if I use the digital copy feature, not selecting the analog send to Zone 2, which is what happens when you just select an input to be sent, instead of using the copy feature. The OSD for Main is...

After a few more minutes the DVD finished and I decided to play the show downstairs, too. As soon as I...
