DL3 upgrade for the 3910

[PENG]

Only one since I had already loaded the May 05 update. I thought I had done something wrong as after the update I put in a disc. Nothing changed. The 3805 still displayed Ext.In. I reread the instructions, this time all the way through and low and behold it stated to change the Denon Link status to 3rd in the 3910. Did that and now I can get rid of 5 cables!

Sorry, after re-reading the post I see I did not answer your question. This update requires 3 disks total.

I did mine too but its the Euro version so there are only 3 CDs. I wonder what the differences are between the Euro and NA versions. Regardless, it works, I am glad I resisted buying 5 pairs of RCA ICs.

I must thank hidog1 again. If it was not for him, I would still be listening to those 2 ch layers. Who knows when the upgrade will come to our little country in the North.

Just checked the U.S. site, it has the same version information such as:

ESS 6609-B, MakeDay 413D, DRV 030825, SYS 6767-5, the only difference is it has a CNE1028 number instead of the Euro's C20041028, whatever that means...

No need to thank me mate. Just glad it worked out for you. Several people have loaded the US version over the Euro or UK version with no problems. They appear to be identical.

It’s nice to have this excellent DVD player finally living up to its full promise. The market should be good for used RCA IC’s

A big difference

Yesterday I loaded the DL3 upgrade and popped in Dark Side of the Moon. I switched back and forth from Ext.In to DL3 and noticed about a 5db difference in output. Is this normal?

I haven't played with the settings but will do that this afternoon.

Thanks.

Once I got DL3 working I pulled the analog cables so did not notice any output differences. I re-ran the Auto EQ as well. I assume you were using an SPL meter for your test.

Is there a need to re-run the Auto EQ?

I did not use the SPL meter. But the volume had a noticeable increase. I'm not going to worry about it as I pulled my analog cables as well. Bummer since I recently purchased them. Oh, well...

Have any of you guys tried using the firewire cable opposed to DL3. I myself have a yamaha receiver (RXZ9) and can't use DL3 at the moment.

I was just wondering if there was any audible difference. My 3910 has both the DL3 and the firewire. But I do think about switching to a denon if having proprietary denon link would be superior to having different units and using firewire.

So if any of you have tried both options with your 3910, let us know your thoughts.

I am using firewire with the Z9. Works great with all audio formats with fantastic sound. If you don't have a Denon receiver, this is the way to make the 3910 universal with only one audio cable.
