Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Denon reciever problem

When I first played with the auto-EQ, it refused to believe a speaker was plugged in so would not progress because it couldn't detect all the speakers. A total reset, as per above, solved the problem.

Not the same issue, but I have had unexplainable weirdness about three times with my Denon and the reset always fixed it.

Called Denon technical support and the gentleman said that my receiver needs a service check. He didn't even mention anything about resetting the receiver until I told him that other people suggested it :-). The only other thing he said it could be, is a problem with the electrical. I think it's very unlikely considering all the problems. Probably my unit.

Any other suggestions? Before I go through the hassle and charge of sending this in for a service check?

Thanks again

Buy the 3808?

Thanks Jason :-). Hopefully that doesn't have to be an option seeing that I've just finished my home theater/TV room (hopefully add pictures tonight) and it's cost me over $10,000 (25,000 if we are including the elevator), M80s or amp not included.

Long story short. I'm broke.

That's when you know you've spent enough.

Then you are doing things right

Is it really important to have the test tone from the receiver? There are a number of cds that have test tones on them, Avia and DVE Essentials, as well as some websites you can download some from.

This may save you some money.

If it was only the test tones that were causing a problem, then I wouldn't even bother. It's everything else. A professional is coming to look at it tomorrow. I had better not get bad news.

Just thinking ahead if it boils down to a new receiver. Other then the difference in channel output. Are there huge differences between the Denon 2808 and the 3808?

Thanks

Well, I had to pay $50 for a professional to come in and disconnect the ground wire from my satellite coaxial which was causing the hum and move some audio cables around that my satellite installer messed up. I didn't have time to try the test tones, but now that everything else seems to be hooked up fine and working, hopefully they will be to.

Unbelievable. I seriously need to get a friend that knows about home theater equipment. All of my friends think I'm crazy because of the money I spend and it's obviously nothing compared to many other people (fellow Axiomites).

Good to see that at last someone was able to set the basic things straight. It's about time you start being able to enjoy your installation! Hope it only gets better from now on!
