Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions 3808ci owners, help changing music/cinema, etc.

Another thought - have you tried to use the 2805 remote with the 3808? The command codes are the same and this might get you some relief.

It might work, have not tried that...it just seem nuts. On the 2805 remote there were the following buttons; Standard, Game, Music, Cinema. Say you were listening to music streaming on the internet, you could click Music, then when using the "Standard" button it would cycle through the various "music" options like PLIIx Music, or DTS ???? music. Then lets say you pop in a movie, you click Cinema mode, then the Standard button cycles through PLIIx Cinema, DTS Neo,etc.

It does not make sense that a higher end Denon would not have a way to do this.

My 3801 remote works with my 3808. I know they're the same model, but thought I'd mention it.

Well tonight when I was watching a movie, the "standard" button did seem to cycle through various options; DD, DD EX, DD + PLIIx, etc. so it seems that is working. When listening to 2channel music on Pandora it won't do anything. Seems I have to go into the Denon Gui "sound parameter" setting and change it to Music mode do get those options. Oh well

Randy, I certainly agree that this should be possible and although the Denon manual isn't entirely clear on the point(surprise)it does at least imply on p.42, by stating under "Parameter" that the rather long list of items following can be "called out directly" with the "Para" button, that it can be done. Maybe you should play around with Para a bit more to see if in DPLIIx mode those changes can happen.

It might seem a bit surprising that there doesn't appear to be more owners' experience with the matter here or elsewhere, but it has to be kept in mind that I've read that some Denon owners are so terrified by the thought of having to study the manual that they haven't even found the power button yet. They just sit there staring helplessly at their silent speakers, but able to take some small comfort from the fact that they won't have to worry about their receivers shutting down.

Oooh scary post number JohnK.... 6666

The mark of the stuttering beast.

thanks John, yes I will experiment more, it seems for some reason the Parameter button just cycles through the various Audyssey options: MultEQ XT, MultEQ XT + DEQ, MultEQ XT + DEQ + DV.

Have you tried the 2805 remote yet?

Also, try a Google search, making it as specific as you can. I have found some real pearls that way (several are included in the notes I sent to you).

yeah, I'm a tech guy so Google is my friend. Just busy with the family so not a lot of time to troubleshoot. Have not tried the 2805 remote yet.
