    Enter to Win: Subwoofer from Axiom Audio

    Hi, I have a relatively small HT 15 X 10 X 8' and use Totem speakers as a 6.1 setup with a pair of Axiom QS4s added in for film. My Totems are very revealing and go cleanly down to 40 which is where their crossed. It is therefore even more important that my .1 is quick to blend both...

    HDMI vs. Component/digital audio

    Hi, If you take some electical tape and combine a DVI vid & coax snd, you have a HDMI cable. Qualities of each are all over the map. DviGear HDMI won't win any beauty contest but the innards are top notch. Unless your CRT is ISF'd you'll never know how good it can actually be. If it...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Hi, My experience in Canada is that both marketing and/or tech help are spread pretty thin, but they have always gotten back to me. Perhaps the Holiday season has created a backlog!! My Denon (upgraded 5800) does not have the (every seat is a good seat) type of programming but I was...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Hi, I have an upgraded 5800 which hasa 50mhz video switching and although I don't use it for video switching, the component switching for HD viewing is excellent and will work fine. The component outputs of the 5805 also scale 480i to 1080i so they may come in handy if you have vcrs or...

    Hi David, I have an upgraded 5800 which comes with the ATKIS RC8000 and 8001 docking station. It has a USB input and (although I haven't done it myself) there was a code update dnld a couple of years ago. If you ave a 5805, I would think those codes are already loaded. Regarding streaming...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Hi, The dealer didn't comment on whether the Audessy program was identical as it moved through the models. Perhaps the one in the 5805 has more features. If it is identical what is it's true dollar value? Peter M.

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Hi, I was in a Denon dealers showroom today, one with 6 different sized demo rooms. The person I was speaking to (although not HAA certified) was the one who setup the audio for clients using a Sencore analyser. He compared (some kind of readings) using the Audessy in the 4806 to readings...

    Hard to drive Totem Mani 2s

    Hi, The amp isn't that heavy about 20lbs max. I was thinking of using the Denon to feed the tweeter and use the NAD to feed the power hungry bass of the Mani's Peter M.

    Enter to Win: FREE DVIGear 2m SHR HDMI or DVI Cable!

    Hi, I feel the most important thing is to establish you really need them before you buy. If your display is ISF calibrated you probably won't notice the diff between dvi and component. Remember HDMI is like duct taping a dvi to a coax. Try and use separate cables until all the bugs get...

    Hard to drive Totem Mani 2s

    Hi Buckeye Fan 1, I like your idea of using the Denon for the tweeter and the Nad for the grunt work. I'm not sure even the Denon 5805 could handle the Mani's if it was being used as a dual zone receiver. It has exactly the same 170w amps as the 5800 but more of them. If you had channels...

    Hi, The 100th edition of Widescreen is on the shelves. Lots of high profile people have pretty straight forward articles on some questions asked here. "one installers view" cuts to the chase. Always keep in the back of your mind that just because its in print doesn't make it gospel so if...

    Denon Announces AVR-3806 and AVR-4306 Receivers!

    Hi, Denon's marketing savvy in releasing these affordable receivers may be perfect timing. I have an upgraded 5800 and am still waiting for discrete software that will allow me to use features already in this monster. Maybe I don't get out as much as I should but using a receiver for...
