#Denon

Dass es die in schwarz und weiß gibt sowie dass es ein „großes Geschwistermodell" gibt, wären nette Pluspunkte.

Ich sehe als (Kompromiss-)Möglichkeiten z.B.:
• Apple HomePod Mini
• Sonos Era 100
• Yamaha MusicCast 20
• Audio Pro A10 MkII
• Denon Home 150 NV

Einige sind 5+ Jahre unverändert aufm Markt; das schreckt mich ab. Keins hat Fernbedienung, weshalb „Favoritentasten“ umso wichtiger wären.

Der #Denon („NV“-Variante) sieht ganz OK aus – hat jemand Erfahrungen mit diesem #HEOS-Universum?

Yay! #denon #heos kann nach 10+ Jahren endlich mal #SMB3 statt nur #SMB1. 🥳

Das wird bestimmt für gesunden Wettbewerb sorgen.

Samsung now owns #Denon, Bowers & Wilkins, #Marantz, Polk, and more audio brands of #SoundUnited

Warum können die #Denon Controller kein Normalizing?

Oder können sie es und ich habs nur nicht gefunden?!

Hab gerade gesehen, mein DVD-Player 1940 ist bald 18 Jahre alt, der -BluRay-Player 15 Jahre. Die Dinger laufen, genau wie der Fernseher. Der muss auch 16/17 Jahre alt sein.

#update

i found the #manual for #denon avr 1100 rd. The button combination #chatgpt gave as answer and that is mentioned in the oldschool #AVSforum, too, is in fact the factory reset code for this receiver... if you had a complicated edited 7.1 home theater setup, you can start setting up from zero again...

But using the button combination "tuner" + "video select" also switches from STANDBY to ON without a remote control, true :)

Last night we wanted to power on an emergency replacement consumer class #amplifier at a party (but we forgot to take the remote with us).

Turned out (after installing it near the dancefloor), some #Denon amplifiers (like avr 1100 rd) are not switching to ON, when pressing #power button. Instead they go to #Standby.

While party-people were waiting for music, staring at us, a younger and an older guy started research, how to power on denon receiver without remote.

I didn't find the answer last night, and it took me 20 minutes of websearch, to find this forum-talk today, where pushing the "tuner" and "video select" buttons are mentioned, to switch from standby to #ON: avsforum.com/threads/old-denon

While this is really bad device-#design, it makes me furious, that i did not find the information easily with websearch or on the Denon company website. Perhaps my search terms were bad.

The other one used #chatgpt and got the correct answer in 2 Minutes.

I still will not use "AI" for academic work, but i am asking me, what are the most efficient ways to store and retrieve such technical information? I even did not find a real user manual for this receiver online.

My #Denon A/V receiver has decided to go nuts with the DNS requests to production.ws.skyegloup.com. Its stupid software doesn't internally cache lookups and, I gotta wonder, WTF is it doing since the receiver is in the Off state. Of course, modern electronics are never truly off.

A graph of DNS requests over 10-minute intervals with the normal activity being 1000 queries or less. Between 17:30 and 22:00 yesterday, and starting at 12:40 today, the Denon receiver is making up to 10,000 queries per 10 minutes to production.ws.skyegloup.com.

Kann eins was tun, dass die #BPM Detection von #Denon besser funkktioniert?

Ich hab dne Bereich entsprechend angepasst, aber dennoch werden die meisten Lieder mit nur der Hälfte erkannt... Ich muss fast immer von Hand auf "x2" klicken, dass ers dauerhaft speichert...

I've got a Denon Home 150 speaker; to connect it to my EndeavourOS laptop (Arch, BTW; with KDE as my desktop):

* pair it 👍 ; connects, then immediately disconnects, the KDE config panel for BT said "br-connection-key-missing"
* use `bluetoothctl` to disable link security 😨
* oh, hey, it connects now and works fine!
* in the config panel, notice the device is not Trusted; set it to Trusted
* use `bluetoothctl` to enable link security
* everybody now happy 👍

It's not even that the devices are asleep, they show up in `avahi-discover` and I can list the info about their advertised abilities. They're just not showing up in the sound UI anymore.

My work laptop (a Mac) is still showing up, even though that's asleep too. 🤷

I've got a couple of HEOS-supporting devices from Denon, which also support AirPlay. I wanted to be able to play audio from my laptop (EndeavourOS; aka Arch, BTW).

*Finding* the info was harder than setting it up: wiki.archlinux.org/title/PipeW

As soon as I followed that, my HEOS devices showed up as audio devices in the sound settings. Looks like they vanish when the devices go to sleep though, so I have to figure that out.

I’m annoyed by the latest update for my #denon #heos #soundbar Control of the Soundbar used to be working with different WiFi and VLANs. Now it’s only partially possible. If that device breaks down the replacement will be a traditional Receiver with as few as possible smart features… #iot

Will mich das Scheißding eigentlich verarschen?

#denon

Controller motzt "File nit found"

Hoping maybe the #Fediverse hive mind has some ideas about a problem.

My old workhorse Onkyo AV receiver died a few months back, and I replaced it with a Denon AVR-S970H. And it's driving me nuts.

My #TV is old, from the final generation of plasmas. Great picture. Sound is okay, but it only understands stereo and mono in uncompressed or AC-3 formats. Anything else sent to it - different codec, or multichannel/surround - is ignored and you get no sound. But that's okay!

Most of the things I watch that have stereo sound I just want to listen to through the TV anyways - TV shows, old non-spectacle movies, documentaries, all that sort of stuff. When I have a Big Movie with a #surround soundtrack, that's when I want to listen to it through the fancy speakers and the #AVR.

With my old #Onkyo, this was easy: the receiver always played the sound through itself and also sent it to the TV. If I wanted simple stereo, I'd just mute the receiver. If it was a surround sound thing, the TV just ignored it.

The #Denon... doesn't do this. I have to configure whether to output the sound through the TV, or through the AVR. There's no option for "both".

Just got new Denon Perl Pro airbuds, paid a bit extra for promised sound quality. All the settings, ANC, equalizer and others are not accessible without creating account. Fucking culture.
