    Boy, you cannot beat THAT for quick shipping! Cool. You must be somewhat close to 6Ave. I am a left coaster, so it takes UPS ?5days via ground.

    Need Rec. on Upgrade of Fronts and R/R's (7.1)

    There are two things I am trying to accomplish. Also, I prefer to try to find a good deal on used speakers (say up to 8 years old???) on Ebay or Craig's list to get much more quality for the buck. So recommending models that may be a few years old is a BIG plus. 1) Replace fronts: Klipcsh...

    Denon 1909 time to ship Elwaylite, After ordering your 1909, how many days did it take for 6Ave to ship your unit? Did you use the free shipping or expedited? Maybe it was an Xmas overload of orders, but I ordered mine from 6Ave on Sunday 12/28. It did not actually leave 6Ave to UPS until...

    SD card questions... The only reference I have found in the manual and online is that 1Gb is the recommended minimum size. I wonder what the maximum size it will take? I think SD cards go to 16Gb. Will it work with SDHC cards? Mainly, what is a good functional size of SD card to install? I...

    TeamE, I have it set to: Analog Audio Output : 2ch (downmix) + 5.1 ch (not 7.1) the only options available were the 2ch + 5.1ch OR 7.1 Even if I could change and make speaker settings from the BD55 instead of where I assume they are still controlled by the (old) AVR, I will not...

    I did not set any sound settings for speakers on the DB55. Will the sound just be handled by how the speakers are set on the AVR? Thanks and Happy New Year to all.

    Doooough ! ! ! ! ! ! ! It WAS the 5.1 ch Input button on the front of the AVR. In my (weak attempt at a) defense, the button is real SMALL ! Can you confirm my BD55 settings so I know I am not sabotaging my player in some other way ( I have this history you know)? :) Set Up/ Audio/...

    I now have and will keep the HDMI and 5.1 ch cables (only) in place, The DVD 'input' options on AVR are: Digital Optical, Analog Input, Auto Input. NO matter the selection, it defaults back to Auto. I think I found the possible answer. The front of the AVR has a 5.1 ch input button. DUH, I...

    IN BD55 manual pg 13 , 'F' "Connecting to 5.1ch Audio Out" seems to me to say turn 'HDMI Audio Output' OFF when "connecting AVR with HDMI AV Out terminal." In all my configurations with HDMI cable and 5.1 cables, I have had HDMI turned OFF.

    Well, I currently have the optical cable from BD to AVR, and component video from BD to TV. This did give me sound. But I must be cutting myself short on the AQ and VQ I should be getting if I could get the 5.1 audio cable set from BD to AVR and HDMI BD to TV to produce sound. I think you hit...

    Firmware update done too. Since we could not watch our movie, I took a pause in our 'attempts' and ran the firmware update from ver. 1.2 to 1.6. Doouuh, no help to my 'issue'. :rolleyes:

    oops, did not mean to 'send' yet... Post #291 (yesterday 9:15pm) describes the problem and hook ups I tried to make it work (no sound). I just woke from a nap trying to get a clear head to 'go back in' (well behind anyway) ;). First, some manual studying to see if today I can make sense of it.
