Denon x3800 - Recovery mode issue

[Sylar]

The active cable will still work. Unless your computer has an HDMI 2.2 port which is unlikely it will not power an active cable. All the others are 30ma by spec. and can't be higher. So if not a 2.2 spec HDMI port you will need and HDMI voltage inserter. A USB inserter is no good, you need an HDMI voltage inserter.

Searched around a bit and decided to get this from Ruipro directly. Which cable would you recommend from this list (PC to AVR, unable to figure which one to pick up).

Could you please share a link where I can get the voltage inserter (from the US)?

This cable. You might as well get the most up to date cable.

The voltage inserter are usually powered from a plug in transformer, but from the US that will be the wrong voltage for you. So you need to power it from a USB port. How much current can the USB ports of your receiver provide?

This inserter can be powered from a plug in AC wall plug.

Had the same issue on my X3700—stuck in recovery mode for ages. I fixed it by using a USB stick with the firmware manually loaded from Denon's site; Ethernet update just wouldn't work.

The cable already has an inserter provided with it. Looks like of short length.

Is there any difference between that one and these two (One, Two Certified) Apart from being fancy and detachable plugs?

Two is the better cable. if it is going in, or through a wall, that cable is certified for in wall use. This is a ctricial fire safety issue. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see where it has a voltage inserter.

You are going to need a voltage inserter for sure with your receiver or you will blow it.

I purchased this one from RuiPro, it has 2 Voltage inserters with power inserted via micRo USB cable - one each at source & destination. The whole thing comes as a package so i don't need to get the voltage inserter separately.

That should be fine. The only issue would be in wall, if your codes require inwall certification by fire code.
