User questions & answers

Question:	How do you keep the display on the front from turning off after a few seconds? My screen stays blank unless I hit display or adjust the volume
Answer:	It’s 9 channels powered. 2 outputs for the subs If you are wiring 11 channels you will need an additional 2 channel amp or go to the 6700h

Answer:	SURE CAN! I HAVE A FIRESTICK (4K) PLUGGED INTO A HDMI PORT ON THE BACK, AND IT PERFORMS PERFECTLY. I DO BOTH AMAZON AND NETFLIX FROM IT, BETTER THAN LG APPLICATION TV USES.
Question:	Tv has amazon and netflix. when i turn the receiver to tv mod and try to watch either netflix or amazon i can get the picture but no sound. thoughs
Answer:	I have not heard a 3500, and I own a 4500. According to this reference (https://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/2973392-official-2018-denon-s-series-x-series-avr-owner-s-thread-faq-posts-1-8-a.html) what the 4500 adds over 3500 is below. Looks like the 3500 does not have AL32 processing, which is significant imo. Also the 3500 will not get the "IMAX Enhanced" certification & modes coming to the X4500 and 6500 (no one knows if those are any good, but worth noting). --- Upgrading from the X3500H adds: 2 additional on board amps for 9CH on board processing (ie. 7.1.2 or 5.1.4; with capability to expand to 11CH processing (ie. 7.1.4) using an external 2CH amp), 11.2 main zone pre-outs, Zone 3 (same inputs as Zone 2 except not HDMI), a 2nd 12v trigger, front panel display of speaker inputs (or outputs), metal front panel with 2 line display, Custom 2 CH main zone settings (using FL/FR or dedicated Front B; LARGE/SMALL; crossover settings, sub – on/off, distance, level), two internal cooling fans, Auro 3D/Auromatic, AL32 Processing, Bass Sync; Remote Control able to store preset codes from other mfr devices (see below) and the ability to add Auro 3D Voice of God/Top Surround via the Subwoofer pre-out 2 only. Audyssey (but not Dynamic EQ, Dynamic Volume, LFC) enabled when DTS Virtual:X is selected. ---
Question:	Found a bug. when playing music and i turn on the tv, gets stuck in muting/unmuting loop until a reboot. dae see this
Answer:	Will not pass through 4k @ 120Hz or 8k @ 60Hz do to a bottleneck of the Panasonic chip used. This impacts the all the 2020 Denon AVRs and most mfg claiming HDMI 2.1 compatible. The work around us to connect your pc or console directly to your HDMI 2.1 TV and use the TVs eARC back to the AVR. Even then not all TVs pass lossless via eARC equally.

User questions & answers

Question:	How tall is the tower
Answer:	Dear customer, The fan is made in China, if you have any problem, please contact [email protected]. We are glad to assist you with any problem. Best regards, OPOLAR customer service.
Question:	How many watts per channel? Thanks
Answer:	I know this is an old question, but I think what I have to say about this is important since I see this question a lot. With Canon you can not use EF-S lenses on anything but the the crop sensor cameras. This is all the Rebel series (T6, T7i), the midrange systems (77D, 80D), and the 7D. The 6D, along with the 5D and 1D, are full frame cameras and can only mount EF lenses. To be even more confusing, the cameras that can mount EF-S lenses can also mount EF lenses too, but all have a crop factor of 1.6x. This is all due to the design of the EF-S lenses. They have a small amount of protrusion from the rear of the camera, which would interfere with the mirror inside the camera. Even if this lens could be mounted on a full frame, it is not really the same as a 24mm full frame lens. This is due to the lens elements being smaller, as it is only designed to work on a smaller format camera. So you would have to crop down your image if it were possible to mount it on a full frame, to eliminate the heavy and unrecoverable vignetting around the outside of the image. It would look like a 40mm lens at that point. So to get the same effect, you can use the EF 40mm F2.8 STM instead. On a full frame camera it will have the same framing, the same low light performance, and same quiet focusing, but for 180 instead of 150. If what you need is a 24mm lens, well, Canon only has a couple and both are quite old, and much more expensive. Sigma has some impressive primes in the Art series, but they are pretty expensive too. There is also the Rokinon 24mm with AF that was jsut released, but I am not sure if it is a crop lens or not.
Question:	Will these work with a sony str-dh790 7.2-ch av receiver
Answer:	I’m just adding to what TwistedPretzel has already said…For what you have described in your comment, this would be a pretty good lens. I think of it as the complement to the EF 50mm F1.8 STM on APS-C cameras. They both share some of the same advantages (especially price to value ratio), but are for different uses. The 50mm is more for filling the frame with a portrait, and then slicing the DOF thin to get that coveted bokeh effect. The 24mm is more for getting more into the frame without going full wide, while also being pretty sharp. It does experience very mild distortion around the fringes of the frame, nothing that will ruin your shots of your children. It does not, however, have the kind of shrinking effect that ultra-wide angle lenses have, where everything looks like it is really far from you unless you are standing right on top of it. For me, where the 50mm is about filling the frame and making the subject the most important thing in the photo, the 24mm is more about creating a scene around the subject(s), without losing sight of what is important in the photo. With some practice, they both can create some very interesting shots.A lens you can look into, if you want one lens that can do what both these can, is the Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 XR Di II. It is a little more than the 50mm and 24mm combined (300 USD v 275), but can do the work of both lenses. I think the primes are a little sharper, but the Tamron isn’t bad. I see your question is 2 years old now; I just wanted to put this info out there for anyone else that it might benefit. I hope whatever you went with worked for you.
Question:	Does this have sony hi-res audio
Answer:	I have both lenses and I can say that it all depends. The 10-18mm lens is not as sharp but is much more wide angle than the 24mm prime lens. However the 24mm prime lens has much narrower depth of field. I use both for video mostly. The 10-18mm is my vlogging lens for when I need to get my whole face in the shot and the 24mm is my close up and cinematic lens. For photography, the 10-18mm is good for public places where a wide shot is desired while the 24mm is better for more close up and sometimes portrait shots. I hope this helps!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this device support the SiriusXM internet radio
Answer:	It does not have an input for a dedicated XM or Sirius Tuner as some earlier SONY receivers did. It has an internal input for "Music Services" but the only two supported are Chromecast and Spotify. Pretty lame. However, with the addition of another device that is capable of streaming SiriusXM (such as Sony Blu Ray player BDP-S3700), you can stream SiriusXM. If you have a good universal remote control (I am using a Harmony Ultimate), the integrated control of the receiver and streaming SiriusXM is fairly easy to program.

Question:	How would you connect additional Dolby Atmos speakers to this, in an existing 7.1 speaker system setup
Answer:	Dolby Atmos is a speaker configuration incorporating downward firing speakers. You would use the “height” channel speakers as the Dolby Atmos speaker channel, by either installing speakers in the ceiling, or get Dolby Atmos Projection speakers that sit on top of your front surround speakers. You may be able to rig certain speakers as downward firing speakers, however I could consult a Dolby atmos installation guide as they have all the ideal placement specifications for the ideal audio balance/ experience. Dolby Atmos In home theatres is usually a 7.1, 9.1, or 11.1 set up. With 2,4 or up to 6 speakers being placed in the downward firing position e.g ceiling mounted and facing down.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can anyone please recommend a usb adapter for this to plug into a PC? Thanks
Answer:	A small, cheap usb DAC adapter probably won't work well for these. They need a bit of power to drive them properly. Power supplied solely from a PC USB port probably won't be enough (500mA max for USB 2.0 and 900mA max for USB 3.0). You will get much better results from an external audio interface and/or a headphone amp.
Question:	comfort
Answer:	They are very comfortable for the first hour or so. I sometimes wear my glasses rather than my contact lenses while using these headphones, and have found that with glasses the comfortable period is much shorter due to pressure on the wire earpieces. The The coiled cable is fairly long, and if you move around in a chair while using these with a laptop, the cable will eventually snare you. The cable connects to the left earphone, and if your earphone connector is on the right side of your computer, receiver, TV or whatever, that means the cable has to be draped across the front of your body. You could reverse the phones on your head, but that would put the left channel into your right ear and vice versa. There's probably a way to reverse channels to correct this.
Question:	How is noise leakage out of these headphones? I am interested in using them for vocal recording so mix leaking out is a no-no
Answer:	Even with loud volumes, the leakage is generally non-existent. The volume needs to be uncomfortably loud for me to start hearing a very slight sound leak.
Question:	Are these a good choice for listening to music at home? I work from home, and I need music to concentrate
Answer:	I love these headphones for listening to music as well as TV. I had a pair of MDR-V6 phones I bought from Tower Records in Nashville years and years ago in the early 90s that just died after almost 30 years of service, and these are very very similar. These don't have quite the bass that the V6s did, and the highs are a little brighter, but that will be in my best interest if they last me 20+ years like the V6s did! There's a reason the MDR7506s became an industry standard soon after they were released by Sony in 1991 and it's not because they're bad to listen to. If you want to listen to your music the way the engineers and artists probably heard it in production, grab a pair of these. Hit YouTube and watch the in-studio recordings of Sting's Ten Summoner's Tales songs and look at the headphones everybody is wearing. Everybody. Mix of both MDR-V6 and MDR7506, the MDR-V6s having been released six years earlier in 1986. All the way up to current times like the video for "Times Like These" with Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Ellie Goulding and all those other artists that was released a few weeks ago had a couple of people wearing them. That's longevity. I found that they are more comfortable with the aftermarket lambskin leather earpads that you can find for around $20. They aren't super easy to put on, but are very comfortable. I love the headphones for listening to music as well as television when I don't want to keep people up at night.

Product features

TA-A1ES Hi-Res Integrated 2-Channel Amplifier

Integrated stereo amplifier with FET input buffer, SEPP hi-current amp and intelligent BIAS control.

FET input buffer

The amplifier has been fitted with a FET input buffer and discrete circuit for the pre-amp. This reduces the effects of distortion while enhancing the sound quality of High-Resolution Audio.

Make a secure connection

Poor component connections can have a significant impact on overall sound quality. The new screw-type terminals and deluxe quality shaved pin, 0.71 in pitch jack ensure a tight, secure fit between the amp and your components, reducing the chances of sound degradation.

High Resolution Audio

High-Resolution Audio takes your digital music to another level. By converting analog music to digital at a higher rate than CDs—24 bit/192 kHz, as opposed to the 16 bit/44.1 kHz rate of CDs—High-Resolution Audio delivers better-than-CD quality sound, so you get closer to the original studio master recording.

Optimum gain volume control

We’ve combined the electronic volume with a discrete buffer amp – co-developed with Sony – to enhance the overall sound quality by reducing the gain error experienced by conventional amps.

Simplified power amp circuitry

By including fewer transistors and eliminating the emitter resistor and coil & capacitor needed in the amp’s final stage circuitry, we’ve reduced the distortion that affects the quality of your music. This means the amp can deliver a higher power output, so you can push up the volume and enjoy great, undistorted, High-Resolution Audio.

Smart BIAS

The built-in smart BIAS system controls the amp’s BIAS based on the volume position. In doing so, the amp is able to utilize a field that experiences good transistor linearity without generating heat, so the sound quality always remains true.

Independent HP-AMP

To reflect the growing popularity of premium-quality headphones, this amp includes a specialized discrete amp with gain optimized to match headphone impedance.
