Official Denon Owners Thread

Later I watched a bit of The Umbrella Academy which is DD+ and that seemed fine.

Any thoughts?

I would also like to know if anyone else is experiencing this. I am not sure if I had any updates but all of the sudden I get no sound from any of my tv's LG apps through my Denon (AVRS730H). It plays with sound just from the tv, but when I try to play it through the surround sound, nothing. I have a Firestick and all the apps play fine through the receiver. I have the setup the same as I always had and never had an issue with sound.

Did the LG's ARC settings change? Mine get disabled if there's anything funky going on, even if I turn off the TV when the AVR is on, it sometimes disables the ARC.

I think some people have had to roll-back the AVR's firmware, but the issue seems to have gone away with me.

My uncle gave me his old X2500H since he just uses a Sonos soundbar now. Pretty happy with it, even though it's just a slightly newer version of my X2200W, which is moved to my bedroom but still haven't hooked up yet.

Looking forward for a true upgrade after I buy this house, but I might wait a little while. Do I need a new AVR for VRR and HDR10+? Wanna get a 77 OLED (C9 or better) first...

Does anyone with the x2200w have a PS5? Does the Denon pass HDR through all HDMI? I quickly set up up my PS5 today and plugged it into the front AUX1 HDMI and it didn’t seem to pass HDR.

Looking to upgrade to a higher end AVR... this thing isn't powerful enough to really push my Martin Logan Preface floorstanders. I think I need something 130 watts per channel (running all channels not just stereo) or better, which is what my old Aventage 3000 is I believe that used to be hooked up to these speakers. Looking for a good deal on a higher end AVR and I can wait for the deal.

I guess this is the best place to ask this question. I've never closely followed the different audio formats like DTS and how exactly they work.

I've noticed on a lot of Blu-rays that claim to be 2.0 Stereo, I end up getting some audio in my surrounds (I have a 5.1 setup). Meanwhile, the Denon itself automatically decodes as HD Master Audio, DTS Master and I notice it sometimes says Neural X.

I watched Cyborg last night which says it has a 2.0 mix and the receiver said HD + Neural X. This ended up putting dialogue in the rear channels as well as the fronts and it was just bizarre.

Now I can manually force the receiver to straight stereo but is that what I should be doing? Why is the receiver automatically selecting and decoding the audio this way?

I've also read that despite it saying it's a 2.0 stereo mix, it's a phased audio track and you are supposed to hear some sound in the surrounds.

Just a little confused and hoping someone can explain it and if there is anything on the receiver I need to do to make sure I'm getting the correct mix.
