    Michael: Thats even better...and I can wrap my little brain around that concept. Prathavan: How does the Fogg Box sound to you?

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Bear with me, I know I'm a little slow at times: I don't use Zone 2 or 3 for anything...yet. The part that I don't understand is that Zone 2 output can be stereo only -- so won't this defeat the puprose of using this for DVD-A? However, I have a feeling that I'm not really going to be...

    Ok. That makes sense. But -- WHen you turn on the DVD input for Zone 2...what exactly is happening? I understand that it will trigger the box correctly, but aren't you sending the output of the DVD input to the Zone 2 stereo outputs?

    I'm confused about using the different zones. How would that work? Here is my current setup (I only use Zone 1): SACD stereo --> CD in SACD multichannel --> 6 Channel in CD --> AUX in DVD digital --> Coax in DVD-A --> Unknown So, lets assume now that both the SACD and DVD-A are...

    One last thing: How does the trigger wire plug into the AVM? Is it just a wire or is there something else I would need?

    Michael: I took awhile, but I figured out what you were talking about. According to Shawn (Fogg), his device is transparent. I'm waiting for my Tax Return and then I'll be buying one. Your solution will be the best.

    Beat me to it! This sucks... I had a Sony TA-P9000ES which worked perfectly, but I had to get rid of it to purchase something else. Now you can't get them anymore. :frowning:

    Oh...I think I understand. The problem would be that there is no way to tell the Fogg Box to stay off if I want to use the other source. It would ALWAYS be triggered on when I select that source it's attached too. Ugh..I guess I'll have to get the IR addition.

    Hrrrm...I'm confused. Currently: SACD 6 Channel out ----> AVM-20 6 Channel in So, wouldn't I be able to do: DVD-A and SACD 6 Channel out ----> Fogg Box ----> AVM-20 6 Channel in Then I would use the trigger to switch the Fogg box from input A to B?

    Does anyone use a "Fogg" box to connect both a DVD-A and SACD player to their AVM-20? Here is a link: http://home.attbi.com/~shawnfogg/ It says you can use a 12v Trigger to switch back and forth between inputs. This would work great since the AVM-20 has the trigger jacks, but I don't...

    Just installed 2.09...seems ok so far. I was checking my settings and tweaking some stuff, when I realized how little I understand about the different surround modes. I was looking at the manual pages 32,33,34 and they make no sense to me. I suppose its cause I have 5.1 setup, but the menus...

    As long as this is common to all or most units, I don't care that much. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything interfering in my setup or defective in my unit since I haven't had a chance to use Zone 2. Just so we're clear Michael: You WERE actually able to verify this bug? One...

    I was playing with my AVM tonight and noticed a few odd things. If I have zone 2 powered up or a zone copied to it, I get a slight "wobble" in text in the setup menu. This doesn't occur with zone 3. Removing the copy path and powering off zone 2 will fix the "problem," if you could call it...

    I nominate Michael Mohrmann for man of the year. Once again, it was his solution that saved the day. Remember my problem with the digital out on my HDTV? It turns out that the problem was that the Anthem was being a bit picky about its digital signal. I WAS running a regular RCA coax cable...

    No I didn't look at net command at all. I know nothing about it. I'm not using it, so I didn't bother to look. Did you see anything of interest? I won't have time to look until tonight.

    From what I understand, when you receive the OTA HDTV picture, you get the DD signal along with it. In another words, you can't have one without the other. Also - it doesn't have to be 5.1, regular programing receive via the HDTV antenna will be just 2.0. So assuming I have picture via the HDTV...
