imo, speakers muna. wait for denon to release the 4313 para bumaba presyo ng 4311. This is what i'm doing as well

@All

Ang mahal ng HDMI board dito sa UAE nasa AED 1,650 Dirhams para sa model na AVR-1909 samantalang yung bagong AVR-1912 nasa AED 2,200 Dirhams lang konti na lang idadagdag mo brand new na mabibili mo na unit kaya pala ibinigay na sa akin ni Sir Joey yung unit nyang AVR-789 para ka na din bumili ng bago pag-binili mo yung parts. 

[ninjababez®]

eto po ba first pairing mo sir?

nope, used to have 1509 which was a great match din for my SCS 
planning to upgrade to SVS STS soon. 

[james16]

I would just like to mention that our denon 2310 receiver started to act up about 14 months after we bought it.  It would intermittently lose video and audio when we're watching movies on the media player (thru HDMI).  The problem started to get worse, as in, 5 minutes lang minsan, then wala na.  TO get it back to work, I have to turn off/on denon & media player. 

Problem doesn't happen when we watch dvds (thru component video) or play FM music.
I've tried moving the connection to the other HDMI ports, same problem. 
Tried connecting the media player to the HDTV directly and it works perfectly.

I've brought it to the service center and they say I have to replace the HDMI board for a whopping 18K.
Accdg to the repair people, the hdmi board getting shorted is a weakness of denon.  They said its caused by pulling hdmi cables out without turning off the unit or cutting electrical power to it.  We never pulled out any cable out of the denon after it was initially set up (except only when it started having problems and I had to try out the other hdmi ports). 

Any thoughts/advice on what I should do? Plunk in the amount?  Get a replacement receiver?  Maybe another brand na lang?

Yan po ang madalas na problema ng AVR ngayon yang HDMI Board maski yung ONKYO ganun din daw sabi sa akin ng V.V. & Sons dito sa UAE check nyo po yung pinost ko regarding sa AVR-1909/789 ang mahal din ng HDMI board konti na lang halos bago na yung mabibili mo sa price ng HDMI board advice ko bili ka na lang ng bago kesa pa-repair mo pa..

I suggest you go with higher end yamaha's. They have less problems vs other brands. Also been a yamaha user from entry, mid to almost high end.. None of them failed me..

alam ko si avshop ang nagbebenta ng ae ngayon. para sakin maganda ae sa audio kasi simula ng nabili ko sya, dun lang ako tumigil tamaan ng SARS sa speakers

galing ako avshop kahapon sir, ganda nga for music yung ae neo 1.. torn between polk rti a3 and the ae.. problem ko lang is onkyo 609 ginamit sa demo.. d kaya ako madisappoint alin man sa dalawa kung ipapares na sa denon?

[staind01]

san merong USB dongle for the 1912 and how much? yung sa CDR king ba puede? if yes, which one?

galing ng MultiEqXT pero manipis sa midbass, can't find kung san ia-adjust. already tried the System and Audio Menus.

thanks!

[Yunarce]

Guys question lng po! Bakit pag turn ON ko ng 1912 ko laging default mode nia is TV eh wala nmn nakakabit sa TV connection sa likod. Gusto ko sana sa SAT/CBL default nya pag ON. Pwede ba yun? Thanks!

[staind01]

yep, check system settings. mase-set mo yun dun. for how to do it, google Batpig's Denon guide. very helpful sya.

taas pala ng setting ng sub ko kaya manipis tunog. naka -12db sya after Audessey calibration. 1/4th na yung volume knob, -9.5db pa rin so will set it lower later if i feel like it. ok na tunog e, satisfied. Large ang fronts and center ko with 40hz crossover.

[staind01]

btw, can't get ARC (audio return channel) between the Panasonic 50X30 and 1912 to work even though tama ang settings and connections per Batpig's Guide. anyone of you able to make ARC work?


lookin for a media bridge for networking and AirPlay to work.

[Yunarce]

Salamat. Binasa ko yung kay Batpig dati pa pero hindi ko mahanap. Tignan ko nlng sa system settings mamaya pag uwi..

Not considering the timing of your possible purchase, the answer is yes, primarily for Audyssey MultEQ XT32. When I changed from 4310 (MultEQ XT) to 4311 (MultEQ XT32), the difference was audible.

As for waiting for the replacement to the 4311, in AVS Forums, speculation is that the announcement (not necessarily the rollout, which can be immediate to 1-2 months later--in the US) will be in Fall 2012 (Sept-Nov).

dang ganun katagal ba? kala ko nag a announce yung mga receiver companies around may-june. Hindi ba parang too late naman kung umabot pa ng november ang announcement for the year model?

akala ko mga may ang announcement tapos mga july-aug ang release

Yes, May-June usually mag-announce Denon for the lower models, up to the 23xx or even the 33xx series. For the Denon high-end models, it's usually Sept.-Nov. The 4311 was announced and shipped around Sept-October 2010, while the other xx11 models were announced in April-June 2010 and shipped in July 2010.

Unless agahan nila this year coz they didn't have a 4312 rollout last year, pero the 4311 is holding its own even against the newer models of Onkyo (1009, 3009, 5009 series), Yamaha, Pioneer, etc. so baka hindi rin.....

oh man! this is a longgggg wait. 

[ninjababez®]

oh man! this is a longgggg wait. 

ako nagiintay ng 4311 maging 20k

I also had this problem with my 2808.  It turns out that the HDMI on the nmt and receiver were loose.  Try plugging and unplugging first.  Since you already brought it to the service center, try isolating the problem and check if the connection from nmt to receiver is loose.  Try changing hdmi cables.

sir yung hdmi mo ba 1.4?

[staind01]

sir yung hdmi mo ba 1.4?

yan din suspetsa kong cause e. not sure kung 1.4 yung 2 hdmi ko sir e. pano ba malalaman? parang wala akong nakitang nakasulat sa cable e. have 1 bandrige hdmi cable and 1 from cdr king.

so napagana mo yung ARC sir? anong TV and AVR mo?

thanks!

[Clondalkin]

Make sure also that you are connected to the ARC compliant HDMI.  Naka-tatak next sa HDMI and naka-s specify sa manual which specific HDMI port to use for ARC.

Dont forget to enable ARC sa HDMI settings ng AVR.  Baka lang naka-default sa OFF.

Ive been using ARC since April 2011 - Panasonic V2 plasma and Onkyo 1008 combination.
