    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I was looking at the new line of Denon "X” series today and thinking of how fitting it would be to my soon to be Atmos set up at home. I’ve owned Denon’s for years and could really use an upgrade. This AVR looks like it would do the trick!

    Output Issue Onkyo TX-NR636

    Good to hear that it shouldn't be the power supply. I wish that I could change it to relative. Every AVR I've owned has had relative volume. I've looked everywhere and it says nothing about it. I'd almost rather take relative right now and leave AccuEQ if I had the option to change out some...

    Output Issue Onkyo TX-NR636

    Anynet+ I followed your instructions and the display didn't flicker at all. It's just weird. I can absolutely notice a difference in output. So weird.

    Output Issue Onkyo TX-NR636

    AccuEQ had already been run when it happened. I reset and tested and I got the same result. Ran AccuEQ and got the same result again. I can't seem to figure it out.

    Output Issue Onkyo TX-NR636

    I powered on my 636 today and all was good. I switched inputs a few times and powered it on and off a few times between activities. All of sudden.. I notice that there is significantly less output. I have the AVR power on with the volume set at 24 (absolute). It used to be a good starting...

    Home Theater small bedroom suggestions, help?

    Well.. What are the dimensions of the room? Is the listening position up against a wall? What's your budget? Start with these and then go from there, just so we all have a better idea of what you're working with.

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    Figured out the issue. There was a "Mix Audio Output" option that is only able to be toggled on or off via the original remote. The player must've been re-encoding so it could mix it's own audio to be output by the AVR. I changed it to "HD Audio Output" and now I get DTS and DD on the front...

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    I'm reading the manual now and it's not saying anything about turning it off.

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    I don't have an option to turn off Downmix. It only gives me the options 48kHz, 96kHz, and 192kHz. Those are my only options.

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    I've checked all my settings on the player. I'll check again on my AVR. The only option on the player is HDMI and Dig Coax. You have the option to set bitstream or PCM for both. I got it set to bitstream over HDMI. I don't see why it would decode DTS itself when set to bitstream, but the...

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    Well...that's what I was hoping for. That somebody else had this player. So...it's not that my issues don't make sense. You specifically just can't help me.

    Couple of issues with Denon DBP-1611UD

    Just recently my 1611UD has started to skip/freeze when playing both seasons 1 & 2 of House Of Cards. Only certain episodes that is. Some play all the way through and others start to skip/freeze at random times. I just placed another blu-ray in there to test it out and there hasn't been any...

    Sub gain issue

    It's running through the small closet with all my components in it right now. Comes from the back of the AVR, down in front on the floor, underneath my closest door to my sub in my room. Thats just until I run it through the wall. Yes, it is dual shielded. Yes, it runs in my closest that...

    Sub gain issue

    I've taken apart every component, one by one and the hum persists. Like I said earlier, It MUST be a bad LFE cable. When I change out the 50' connection to the 4' connection it works fine. No hum. Could this bad cable and hum be the issue as to why my receiver is setting the trim at -12 during...

    Sub gain issue

    The content being played doesn't get louder when turning the knob from 0-5. It only gets louder from 5-10. I just switched out my 50' LFE cable with my 4 footer to test it and the hum disappeared, so I don't think its a grounding issue after all. I'm eventually going to be running the cable...

    Sub gain issue

    I have a rather small ground loop hum coming from the sub. When I increase the gain, the hum gets louder, so shouldn't the knob be working? Also, before I run AccuEQ there is a signal that is sent to the sub to make sure that it's actually receiving juice. It's much louder than normal. Could...

    Sub gain issue

    Also, I understand that the AVR bypasses the subs built in crossover when using an LFE cable. I've always been able to adjust the gain of the sub when using an LFE cable. I just don't understand why all off a sudden the gain knob just becomes useless. I just recalibrated twice and the AVR has...

    Sub gain issue

    The gain knob on the back of my Proficient Audio GS10 is being bypassed for some reason. The sub end up sounds extremely "boomy" as well. This is the second time that it's happened, and I have know idea why. I've turned the unit off and unplugged the LFE cable on both ends. I don't really have...

    Question regarding power amp vs. AV receiver for home theater build...

    You can go straight to a power amp. Pre amp can clean the signal and provide gain control if the source device can't. The 105D can.

    Question regarding power amp vs. AV receiver for home theater build...

    I'd recommend to go into a power amp. You already have the BDP that's going to be doing the decoding for you, so I don't see the reason to pick up an AVR for power..that's unless you want some of the convenience features. Oppo>Power Amp>Speakers is the way I'd go. If it's in the budget, grab...

    Proficient Audio GS10

    Has anybody been able to check this sub out?I picked it up today...and wow. Just thought I'd share how amazing this sub is truly is. The low end and evenness across the soundstage is incredible. Really glues everything together. Great choice for any...

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Always look into "future proofing." Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Go with a 7.1 receiver. Anyways, with Dolby Atmos, you need a 7.1 receiver. Atmos is looked at as "5.1.2" as the most basic set up. I've installed 3 Onkyo TX-NR636's and they are fantastic. I just...

    HDMI splitter that also supports HD audio?

    I've never done this before, but I know that you can. It can get a little pricey.Look up the company "Octava." The only thing is that you'll need to run an optical cable from your source device(s) to the switcher as well. Of course, there will be an optical out to go to wherever you please.

    Advantages of Cat5, Cat6 cable and so on...

    When I said "base hub" I was referring to what your source devices plug into and what your cat cable runs out of to reach your receivers and displays on the other end. I'm new to this tech, so that's why I have a lot of questions. You think this will eventually become a mainstream type deal and...

    Advantages of Cat5, Cat6 cable and so on...

    I was reading that HDBaseT was also used to "cut down" on the use of "x" amount of cables. Apparently that's not the case. For example, my Xbox is going through Base hub, I can send that signal to any display in the house?Also, that Cat cable can send up to 100w of power? It's powering all of my...

    Advantages of Cat5, Cat6 cable and so on...

    As far as HDBaseT goes...It's a rather new technology to me as it is to a lot of people it seems and I have some questions. This seems like it offers just a longer connection via Cat 5e/Cat 6 cables and the additional ability to control devices via IR. Other than that, there are still multiple...
