    Irvrobinson; Thanks for your kind words and vote of confidence. Its difficult some times to sift through whats real and whats marketing. Its even worse when review publications endorse the marketing nonsense as truth and futher confuse consumers. We do our best to keep it real and always...

    New Denon 3805 sounds terrible - help!?!

    In the bass management menu there is a THX setting and Main + Sub setting (not sure if its called this exactly). Set it to the latter so you get sub out despite your main speakers are set to large. Also realize the Denon is sophisticated enough that it allows independent level trim settings...

    Yamaha RXV2500

    Of course there are always compromises. The 2092 was a flagship product several years ago, so obviously Yamaha put forth their best effort and biggest amp section, second only to the DSP A1. First off, I recommend setting your rears to small regardless. Without knowing your room size...

    Yamaha RXV2500

    No you cannot send multi channel SACD or DVD-A signals to your 2092. The only option would be to have your 2092 modified to have 6CH inputs added, but care must be taken that the person doing it doesn't mess things up or make your receiver noisey. The amp section in the 2092 is better than...

    Yamaha RXV2500

    The all channels driven test has very little real world application, especially in ordinary households where the consumers don't utilize a variac to hold the line voltage constant. All you’re testing in this case is the limitation of the Mains if the amp is powerful enough to suck most of the...

    Request for help: brains needed!

    That is not cable distortion. What you are describing is noise pickup which migrates through the system and then gets amplified in the electronics (assuming the electronics lack adequate filtering). The cable is NOT the mechanism for the distortion and yes in this scenario shielded cables...

    Richard; Cables DO NOT cause non-linear distortions, but don't take my word for it, check out what Bruno from Phillips has to say about it along with his test data from one of the worlds most accurate devices for measuring distortion in the following article: Debunking the Myth Of Cable...

    Denon 5900 and rental DVDs

    Jack; I have had similar problems with my DVD 5900 and even 2900. In fact, I couldn't even play Star Wars Episode 1 on my 5900 when it was brand new. Check your firmware version. Having the latest firmware uploaded does help this problem alot.
