Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Well I pulled the plug on a AVR-3808!! Setup help

the nocturnal kinds?

Cam, leave the sub distance at the 22' which resulted from the auto-setup. Delays in the internal sub electronics result in the sound reaching the listening position later, as if the sub was located farther away than the actual distance.

Well I finally got to listen to The Eagles Held Freezes Over after setting everything up (short of going through the GUI) and all I can say is WOW!! I rented Master and Commander as recommended but it was scratched horribly and wouldn't play properly so I couldn't watch the whole movie but I did get to hear the first action scene and it's quite incredible. A side note, has anyone here in Canada had any experience with zip.ca(Netflix)? The first DVD I rented from them came unplayable and I've since heard some unfavorable opinions about them.

I found out via Denon customer support that Audyssey sets up everything for you including distances and delays so I don't know how much there is left to set up in the GUI. I have a couple more questions if I may

- I have a external hard drive (Seagate Freeagent Pro) on my computer with my music/movies/software on it. Can't I hook this up to the Denon and use it as a USB device?

Sorry have to cut this short, I have to go, I will post tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for your help.

Yes, if your external drive connects via usb then u can just plug it into one of the usb ports on the denon. As long as it is in mp3, flac, or one of the other compatible formats listed in the denon manual then you can just go to "net/usb" on the denon and play your songs.

I played a flac file off of a 1 gig usb flash drive once, so I don't see how a larger hard drive would be any different.

If thje hard drive does not have a usb connection then you will have to stream it to the denon from your computer with the hard drive with an ethernet cable or wireless bridge
