Denon Receiver Replacemen​t Issue

I bought a Denon AVR-890 less than 2 months back at 50% off at Bestbuy. I did not purchase a protection plan. I've been having issues with the picture and dropped it off at Bestbuy for repair since the product comes with a 2 year warranty.
After almost a month someone from Geeksquad just called me and said that the item cannot be repaired and that I will be given a $400 credit to purchase a new receiver at Bestbuy.
In my opinion, this is totally unacceptable since for $400, I won't be able to get a similar receiver at Bestbuy. I was also reading Denon's warranty policy and this is what it says:
"If during the applicable warranty period from the date of original consumer purchase your DENON product is found to be defective by DENON, DENON will repair, or at its option, replace with new, used or equivalent model, such defective product without charge for parts or labor."
So, I would think I should receive an equivalent product(new or refurbished) for free without any charge to me.
What Bestbuy is offering will give me an equivalent product, provided I pay a lot of money from my pocket.
How can I get this resolved?
TIA.

I have 3 Denon receivers and they are all excellent.  My oldest one is the AVR2000 with the original Dolby Prologic. I  bought it in 1996 and it still works like brand new although I don't quite have a use for it at the moment.  I also have a 2802 and a 3806.  Very very happy with Denon.  Definitely give them a 2nd chance and do a search for Batpig on Yahoo or Google for setup info.
Thanks for the tip and words of encouragement I will use batpig to setup my receiver.

  • The airplay option on my iphone 5 is no longer showing. I used to be able to select my Denon receiver as an option to listen to my iTunes playlist from my phone.

    Is anyone else having trouble with the airplay not appearing in their music app? Up until the recent ios 6.1.4 update, I was able to play music from iTunes from my iphone5  through my Denon receiver. Now after the update it doesn't even give it as an option.

    Hello, robinfromvt.

  • Question re set up: Samsung Blu Ray Disc - 55" Samsung LED 3DHDTV - Denon Receiver

    We brought this package home yesterday.  We have it hooked up as follows, pursuant to Best Buy's recommendations at the store where we bought it:  We have the Bresnan cable box hooked into the Denon receiver in the appropriate place with an HDMI cord. We have the Blu Ray Disc hooked up to the Denon receiver in the appropriate place using an HDMI receiver.  We have an HDMI cord in the spot marked "Monitor" on the Denon receiver running to the HDMI1 spot on the Television.  Everything works fine, except for one problem.  We can't watch cable television without the Blu Ray disc ON. If we are watching something on cable, and we turn off the Blu Ray disc, we get fuzzy white and black "ant races", but we can still hear the program.  We have to unplug the Blu Ray Disc if we don't want it running all the time.  I assume this could be bad for a Blu Ray.  This does not make any sense at all.  They should all operate independently of each other.   I have also called technical support and they are stumped.  Waiting for a call back from a sales person at the local store.  Anyone out there have any ideas.  The store sales people suggested that the best way to connect the components was with HDMI cords.  I have already spent $300.00 on HDMI cords alone.  Hopefully, someone out there has some ideas.  THanks.

    Hi again - I thought I would report back to you on the status of my issue.  I stopped by our Best Buy store and talked to another person again.  We wanted to see if we could bring back the Denon receiver and switch it out for another one.  After explaining our situation, the guy talked to his manager.  The manager had a suggestion that we try before switching out the receivers.  I don't necessarily understand it, but you probably will.  He said (and this is NOT verbatim - just kind of what I picked up out of the conversation) that because we were using two Samsung compenents (BD and TV), that they were trying to work with one another, but we had some kind of interference with the Denon receiver and the Bresnan cable box, and that something was getting caught up and trying to work back through the BD.  Like I said, I don't understand it completely.  He suggested we go to our TV menu and find where it says Anynet+.  We were to check to see if that was turned on.  He wanted us to turn it off.  Once we did that, everything started working great.  So we are up and running with a simple menu fix.  Thank goodness it was that easy.  I thought I would just report this to you so that in case you see any more similar problems, you can try this fix. 
    Thanks again for your help yesterday.  Have a great day.

  • Running HDMI and Optical  to Denon Receiver for separate zones

    I have the AppleTV (generation 2 I think) that I had setup in the following manner:
    HDMI direct to Denon receiver for main room (both video and audio) - Zone 1
    Optical audio to "Optical to RCA" converter then RCA cable to Denon for audio to patio - Zone 2
    This allowed me to AirPlay music from my iPad to the AppleTV and output that audio to both zones at the same time. The added convenience was to carry my iPad around (in or out) to change music as needed. I hadn't used the patio speakers in a while but now notice it won't output to the patio (zone 2) speakers. I have double checked cabling, confirmed speakers work outside by changing to the radio tuner, etc. I have power to the Optical to RCA converter with a red light On. So my guesses are:
    1) something has changed on the AppleTV not allowing output to both HDMI and Optical (new update make changes?)
    2) possibly the converter isn't working although it is showing power and I have done nothing with that box since setting this up a couple of years ago
    When I look into audio settings I see "auto" and 16bit for output, Dolby Digital auto, on, or off, but nothing that specifically calls out optical.
    Any ideas?

    Well,  chalk one up for Alley_Cat. I went back to the drawing board and started playing around with various settings to see what I could find out. After playing around with the various listening modes, I noticed I could not get the receiver to play in "Stereo" mode in Zone 1 at all - everything coming from the center channel. Did some research and found I needed to push a button on the remote D/ST (Direct/Stereo..I think) and that fixed my Zone 1 issue. Thinking that would solve the Zone 2 issue, I checked those speakers and still nothing. After playing with it some more, I took one last look at the back of the receiver and noticed in my frustration earlier I put the RCA plugs in the "out" jacks and not the "in". Switched those and lo and behold worked again.
    To be clear, the mis-aligned RCA jacks was not the original problem, and I cant say for sure it was the D/ST button because I tried a number of things before switching the jack locations...but it is fixed for now. Fingers crossed it will stay that way! Thanks.

  • How do I configure Time Capsule to recognize my Denon receiver?

    Hi all,
    New to the forums but have spent the past few days perusing them to no avail - your help is appreciated from a networking newbie!
    I have a Denon AVR 2312ci which I'd previously had hard-wired to an old Belkin router.  The only hiccup I'd had at the time was the requirement that I disable UPnP.  I have an Apple TV that I use to stream music via airplay to the receiver, which works quite well.  However, it requires me to turn on the receiver, whereas directing airplay to the receiver itself would "wake on LAN", a feature I like.
    Since then, I've upgraded to a 2TB Time Capsule.  However, following the router change I am no longer able to find the Denon on my home network, nor do any of the networking capabilities of the receiver work any longer.  I tried disabling DHCP on the Denon and assigning a static IP address, but this didn't work.  I tested multiple Cat5e cables using various LAN ports on the router - no luck there, either.  I tried to reset the network card on the Denon - same result.
    I'm beginning to wonder whether the problem lies with the way the Time Capsule is configured - any thoughts or suggestions out there?

    LP,
    IT WORKS!
    To summarize for anyone who might have this problem, here's what fixed it:
    1) Time Capsule --Cat5e--> LAN port of router/switch (in my case, an old Netgear 10/100 with DHCP and NAT disabled) --Cat5e--> Denon receiver
    2) Through Airport Utility, made an IP reservation for an IP outside of the DHCP range (in my case 10.0.1.2 through 10.0.1.200, so I chose 10.0.1.202).  You will need your AV receiver's MAC address to do this.
    3) Disabled DHCP on the Denon
    4) Manually entered the IP address (e.g. 10.0.1.202), subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 10.0.1.1 (e.g. the TC's local IP), primary DNS 8.8.8.8, secondary DNS left blank, proxy off
    This worked after I left the unit on standby for a period of a few hours (did not immediately work).  I did not need to do any port forwarding, DMZ, etc.
    I am now able to access the unit from my web browser in my local network and am able to airplay directly to the unit using my other airplay enabled apps/iTunes.
    Much thanks to LaPastenague for his very helpful advice!!

  • Streaming from Denon receiver to Airport Express Base Station?

    Hello,
    i know it's possible to strem music, video, etc. from your apple device to a Denon receiver with airplay, but is it also possible, to stream sound from the Denon receiver to an Airport Express Base Station? I'm about to purchase such a Denon receiver and 2 Airport Express Base Station. To the Airport Express Base Station's i want to connect speakers, the Denon receiver will be connected to the TV and Bluray. So i was wondering, if i could stream the sound from the TV / Bluray, via the Denon receiver to the Airport Express Base Stations. Or is the airplay function of the Denon a one-way road?
    Thanks for feedback!

  • HT204291 I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on

    I have my apple TV plugged into my Denon receiver.  My receiver is setup with 3 speaker channels, one center, one left front and one right front.  When I listen to music via Airplay, sound comes only from the center channel and right, nothing on the left.  When I watch Cable Television (not using the Apple TV), all 3 channels work fine so I know that the speaker connections are fine. 

    I had problems with streaming until I changed the WiFi channel that I was using.  The original one conflicted with my neighbor.  After that, MOST of my streaming problems vanished.  Occasionally, a movie would pause for more buffering and I eventually ran an ethernet cable from the Apple TV to my Apple Extreme (to eliminate the Wifi).  I have not had a single problem since then (except to repair the drywall after running the ethernet from one floor to another).  :-)

  • ITunes won't let me select my Denon Receiver via Airplay

    When clicking on the airplay button on my iTunes, I can see my Denon Receiver, but when I select the receiver, iTunes tries to connect but it can't make the connection.  I have rebooted my MacBook and my receiver is successfully downloading Internet radio and is properly connected to my home network.
    Any idea why iTunes won't connect?

    I was able to get iTunes to connect, but i'm not sure why what i did worked.  First, I reinitialized the connection between my Denon 1912 and my router.  The ethernet cable is actually installed into a hub and not my router.  Anyway, this made no difference. 
    Then I went into http://192.168.1.102 which is the address of my Denon receiver on my internet.  Using the web interface, i changed the name of the receiver from Denon AVR-1912 (the factory default) to just "Denon" to see if iTunes would pick up the change.  Once i saved the new name, I shut down iTunes and then restarted it. 
    Upon restarting iTunes, the airplay symbol was gone, but within 20 seconds the symbol reappeared in iTunes and Airplay showed the new name of "Denon" as part of the selection.  I was able to select Denon as a speaker and everything now works great.

  • Receiver RFC adapter issue! Please help!

    Hi Experts,
       I have 4 XI interfaces. All of these are Webservice to RFC scenarios. Moreover all of them are synchronous.
      Request message: Webservice (SOAP Adapter) ---> XI -
    > RFc Adapter ---> ECC Function modules
      Response message: Webservice (SOAP Adapter) <- XI < RFc Adapter <- ECC Function modules
    As you can see above, external system calls XI web service via SOAP Adapter. The input data is then sent from SOAP Adapter to RFC adapter to call RFC function module in the receiving side.  The receiving system is SAP ECC system.
    The receiver ECC system has two instances. For example SP0 ad SP1. 
    In the receiver determination step we have maintained a rule such that if the Plant value in the input message is XYZ then send data to SP0. But if the plant value in ABC then send data to SP1.
    This Conditional rule is working fine.
    However we are getting couple of issues with only one instance of ECC (SP0).
    1. com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessageExpiredException: Message badfa070-b163-11de-a4c1-001cc495e48a(INBOUND) expired

    The above listed errors are generated occasionally. Sometimes no errors are generated even when the same input data is sent again and message is successfully processed.
    I have verified the input data and everything is OK with that.
    Mapping object is available in XI and cache was also refreshed. I additionally reactivated the objects in XI as well.
    So what could be the real root cause of this? Please help!
    Thanks
    Gopal

    Check the Timeout parameter of your adapter.....for requests which expire with this error confirm from the SAP end that the message processing is done well within the Timeout period of the adapter.
    Refer this note for more info on the above occuring error and the possible way to avoid it: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/791379
    Update:
    Even problem 3 seems to be occuring due to insufficient Timeout specified for the adapter.....if possible try increasing the Timeout in VA

  • Iphone 6 no longer plays music/photos to my Denon Receiver/Sony TV

    On my iPhone 4 (still on IOS 7) I was able to play music directly to my Denon AVR.  I could also show pictures on my Sony TV.
    Last night I tested this with my iPhone 6, not sure if its the phone or IOS 8, but it was unable to do either of these things.  The devices simply never showed up in the list of options, I just saw things like email or facebook etc. where normally the connected device list would be below.   I had to go back and use my iPhone 4 to share some pictures and music.
    Anyone know if this is functionality that I can get back?  I'm not sure why it would regress like this from working to not working, but that's something I used fairly often and am hoping I can still do it.

    Did everything you suggested.  No change.  Still charges the Iphone, but will not play music on either the Sony dock station or my other dock station.  The fact that the Iphone quit playing music on both dock stations on the same day, makes me wonder if the issue is with the Iphone.  Took it to the local Apple store and they say the problem has to be with Sony.  With all of the other folks experiencing similar issues, there seems to be intermittent compatibility issues between Iphones and some devices, but Apple says it is not their problem.

  • SOAP receiver adapter configuration issue

    Hi Everyone,
    When I am trying to excute a sync scenario from SAP<>XI<>Webservice from Integration engine , I am getting the below error message.
    Error while sending message: com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.DeliveryException: SOAP: response message contains an error XIAdapter/HTTP/ADAPTER.HTTP_EXCEPTION - HTTP 415 Cannot process the message because the content type 'text/xml; charset=utf-8' was not the expected type 'application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8'.
    In the receiver SOAP adapter, I have configured Transformation module where I kept the MessageTransformationBean in processing sequence as a priority and also provided the module configuration.
    ModuleKey: transform
    ParameterName: Transform.ContentType
    Parameter Value: application/soap+xml;charset=utf-8.
    But still get the above error message in the communication channel. I am using certificates in my configuration that were deployed in visual Admin.
    In the adapter configuration, I have just provided the Target URL, Configured User Authentication, certificate authentication and SOAP action.
    Can anyone help me.. how to rectify the issue.....
    Thanks in advance,

    HI Hareen,
    I decided to give SOAP1.2 using the standard SOAP Adapter a try
    There are a few noticeable differences between the request message of SOAP1.1 and SOAP1.2
    1.) SOAP 1.1 uses a different namespace from SOAP 1.2. For SOAP 1.1 it is "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" while for SOAP 1.2 it is "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope".
    2.) SOAP 1.2 does not use SOAPAction in its header.
    3.) Content type is also different, for SOAP 1.1 it is "text/xml" while for SOAP 1.2 it is "application/soap+xml"
    So a sample request for SOAP 1.1 would be like this:
    Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
    SOAPAction: "http://sampleaction"
    While for 1.2 it is:
    Content-Type: application/soap+xml;charset=UTF-8;action="http://sampleaction"
    The SOAP action is moved to the content type (experts please correct me on this).
    Based on the differences, you need:
    1.) Construct the correct SOAP Envelope for request message mapping and remove it for the response mapping
    2.) Use MessageTransformBean to change content type
    3.) Leave SOAPAction as blank
    I think dynamic soap action is no longer possible because the action is hardcoded in the module configuration (please correct).
    Hope this helps,
    Mark

    are you able to ping or telnet the host server where the WS is hosted from the PI server?
    The issue is that the PI server IP addresses might not be opened in the firewall to connect to the web service.
