I am looking through the features of different Denon receivers from their website and I noticed two of the top ones (2805, 3805) have an "Auto/manual room equalization" feature. What is that? I am looking hard at the 2105 (which doesn't have it) and wondering how nice of a feature it would be. More importantly, I noticed that the Denon 2105 doesn't have the "Audio signal delay----sync. audio with video signal" feature (only the 2805 and the 3805 have it). Not sure what this means. Without this feature, if I bypass the video connections on the receiver and just connect my DVD player to the display, does that mean that the video and audio could be out of sync?

TNTguy,

I have the 2805. The auto/manual room equalization is used to set up your speakers. The 2805 comes with a mic that you place at your listening spot. You run the auto and the receiver automatically calibrates your speakers. I used this feature and it worked great. The audio signal delay allows you to adjust the sound to your video. Sometimes the audio on certain displays is out of sinc with the picture. You can adjust the delay with the Denon receiver to eliminate that delay.

I haven't had a problem with delay and my Denon reciever doesn't have "video adjust delay." If I were going to buy a new Denon reciever today, my choice would be the 2105. Unless the 2805/3805 has a feature that you just can't live without, I'd stick with the 2105. The 2105 is seven channel plus has preouts for greater amplification.

With my DLP display, the delay on my 3805 is absolutely essential or the lip sync is way off.

Mark,

I assume you have DVI/HDMI and are bypassing the video signal to your receiver? I will be doing so too. Maybe I better get the audio/video sync feature.

Yes... sorry for the short, non-complete post!

I have a DVI connection from my cable box straight into my Samsung DLP. I think I'm more sensitive to poor lip-synch than many, but it's really off by a substantial amount!

It would be unwatchable to me without that compensation!

Thanks. Anyone know what other (under $600) receivers have the audio/video lip sync delay?
