It worked fine for about 3 months....Then subwoofer hum.
I couldent get rid of it..I tryed unpluging everything, sending it out to service, subwoofer filters for the AC, evrything. All and all I sent it back to circuit city and they told me nothing was wrong with it. I knew it was the Reciever because the sub worked fine IN THE STORE
Subwoofer hum, could have come from one of the many ground loop problems, such as a common problem of a poor fitting RCA connection. For any possible combination of reasons, subwoofer cables seem to be stressed (pulled, yanked, repeatedly reconnected) more than any other cable, and, due to the often long physical run of the cable, is more prone to noise leakage from close proximity to power cables etc.
In otherwords, hear a subwoofer hum, start with the basics and look for a cable problem.
QUOTE=eg4life] Which Denon do u have, are they all created equal ....so to say (quality of sound)???[/QUOTE]
I have the Denon 2805. Was going to buy the 3805, but the car needed 4 new tires ($185 per tire), it turned cold and I needed a new winter coat, my exceeded my diet coke budget, I visited Red Lobster for snow crab legs one to many times that month, and somewhere I decided that I did not like the 3805's remote, so I ended up with the 2805.
Is there a real difference between the 2805 and 3805. Yes, features. That is it, no sound quality or performance issues. And outside of Denon Link, there really aren't big significant feature issues. And those few watts per channel are there just to impress the guy who thinks he can actually hear the difference between 90db and 90.5db (he can't, it take approximately 3db to have an audible difference).
By the way, the only difference between a Yamaha, or Denon, or HK etc boils down to features and how easy those features are for the user to access or use. Like the styling of the unit, like the way the remote works, buy that brand.

My suggestion is always buy from a reputable company. A company that the manufacturer is proud to have sell their products and fully supports the seller with factory warranties and support. On line sellers, with a few notable exceptions, do not meet those requirements, and the number of sellers that sell on auction sites that meet those requirements are even farther between. Denon has a list of authorized sellers. Good list, great prices. Full warranties and support. I would only suggest buying from the authorized dealers, some of them sell online, a few of them might sell on auction sites as well.
