Scott: You said: "Simply run the analog connections to your receiver and the HDMI directly to your TV. Turn the speakers off on your TV, and configure the analog 7.1 outputs of the Blu-ray player appropriately to pass the lossless...

Well, I answered my own question about the 4806 - I need a "CI" upgrade to allow the receiver to decode the higher definition audio signals. So, my remaining questions are: 1. Does RGB output a better picture signal than HDMI to the...

Kevin, Would you mind telling me how to upgrade as you suggest? Also, would you (or any other reader) offer some advice on video output choices from my 3800 to my Panny? The 3800 gives you two options: HDMI video or RGB video. I...

Guys, thanks for the responses. I feel stupid for even posting this thread, as I did not realize at the time that the AVR 4806 does not even support the new BluRay high definition sound formats such as TrueHD or DTS-HD. Thus,...

Thanks, Alon. So what you are telling me is that I need to get 6 "RCA" type cables and connect them from the DVD player to the receiver (I have a 5.1 speaker system), and then use "Ext. In" for the input selection on my receiver to...

Hi Gregg: I have a new Panny PXU50 plasma that needs calibrating. All components (Dish, DirecTv, and Denon DVD player) are connected via a Gefen 4x1 HDMI switcher to the one HDMI input on my plasma. Therefore, I suppose there would...

Well, I think it is fixed "again" . . . I called Gefen and they acknowledged a problem existed. They suggested that I toggle the equalizer knobs for each HDMI input by turning it until the picture disappears, and then turning it the...

THOUGHT the problem was fixed . . . This is really frustrating - I purchased a Gefen HDMI switcher to replace the 4x1 DVI switcher in an attempt to eliminate any "DVI-to-HDMI conversion" issues, and I am STILL having the same...

Fixed . . . For some unexplainable reason, the DVI switcher would not pass the HDMI/HDCP signal through the DVI ports - except for one: the Denon 3910 player. I had to purchase a 3x1 HDMI Gefen switcher. Now, all works...
