Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Epic 60 500+Denons

At least I didn't have to use the serial port to upgrade the 3910. Small favors... Also, another tip: the Ext In (multichannel?) setting does not use the same speaker calibrations as the DTS and DD settings, even if you use Denon Link.

Maybe they can remedy that in next years model.


And then sort of mention it in the manual on a couple different pages. . .


Who IS writing these things?

On my 2900 I just start playing with things to figure out how it works. . .

It's a crack up. There's nothing about how to set the speaker levels in the manual that I could find. What you do is press Enter on the remote. Which gets you the speaker levels. WTF?

There's also nothing in the 4000 lb. 3910 manual about how to do the firmware upgrade or that you have to stop the disc to turn on Denon Link (?). Plenty of pages about how to set random play (who uses random play on a single disc?!) or program tracks (who programs tracks to play?!), but nothing about that.

You know, the English portion of my Denon 2900 manual is roughly 15 pages longer than my H/K 7200 manual. Granted, the H/K isn't the best, but at least I feel like I have a fighting chance with it. I can flip through the Denon three times and still not find what I was looking for. I can imagine how the AVR manuals are. Sheesh!

Random play on a single disc is a waste. Also, programming tracks. Take longer to tell the machine, "I want to listen to track 1, 2, but not 3, 4, but not 5, etc." instead of sitting there with the remote in hand making use of the skip button.

Oh, fine. I figured someone would use those features and I would pay for that.

The 2805 manual is nothing to get excited about either. I've pretty much had to figure stuff out on my own, I"m sure there is still a lot to figure out...

fyi, I just bought a Panasonic S97S HDMI Upconverting DVD player, the manual also sucks, why can't these overseas manufacturers get someone who understands English publish the manuals? Oh well....

I wouldn't admit it, even if I did!

Oh, I totally misread your post. Dur...

You could probably start a business that offers a more user-friendly version of manuals. Like a Cliff's Notes for electronics. . .

Not a bad idea, but your assuming I know a lot about AV.
