User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need a tv to set up pandora or a wireless connection
Answer:	I was wondering too! The one I am replacing was bought from Amazon Jan. 2015. It stated Poland on the Glass, but nothing on the plastic. Now they all seem to state Portugal on the glass portion. I like the BODUM embossed plastic frame, but it is an older model with the flat top and D handle. Even Bodum does updates.
Question:	Are the hook up's for subwoofer is that for a powered sub woofer speaker or a passive
Answer:	Beaker is glass. The handle and the part that the beaker fits into is plastic.
Question:	I plug in an antenna that goes to my outside wireless speakers in the headphone jack, on some receivers this turns off my inside connected speakers
Answer:	I had the other Brazil version. I was able to remove the beaker. VERY CAREFUL, it is in there tight. SOAP and warm water, you should get some movement from it. I wouldn't recommend removing the beaker unless you really have to clean it. If you don't feel comfortable removing the beaker, then I wouldn't.
Question:	How many watts per channel for 8ohm speakers if only using front two , center speaker with sub woofer and no surround sound
Answer:	It is sad, isn't it, that some misguided bean counter at Bodun decided to earn a bonus by replacing a sturdy, metal piece (like my 30 year old Bodun has) with that ridiculous piece of plastic; saving, what? Two cents worth? Well, that was mine. I will take another commenter's advice and be gentle. It is informative that the elaborate pictures in the description do not show this particular piece; apparently they know.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could the rear surround speakers be wireless while the rest are wired, or do they have to be wired also
Answer:	I don't think it will work in a smart card slot, it is for an expansion slot.

Answer:	No, the EC1394B2 is compatible with computers that have a 34mm or 54mm ExpressCard slots. It's not compatible with an SD Card reader. Matt, StarTech.com Support
Question:	Dennon avr s 960 does it have a powered second zone
Answer:	No, the EC1394B2 connects to an ExpressCard slot and uses the PCI-Express bus in your computer so it is not compatible with USB-ExpressCard adapters. Matt, StarTech.com Support

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this unit come with a and b speakers? in other words. i want to put a second set of speakers outside on my patio
Answer:	You need a tv or monitor that is capable of hdmi to use the on screen setup. U can setup music without a tv using the demon AVR app
Question:	can this take a output of 1440p at 60hz from a pc and pass through to the tv
Answer:	Thanks very much for your question. The connections are preamp outputs which are intended for use with a powered sub. A passive sub will not run off this receiver. World Wide Stereo is 38 years old and a proud, authorized Denon dealer.
Question:	Can I watch tv through this unit while listening to radio or playing an album
Answer:	don’t use the headphone jack for your wireless speakers. Connecting anything to headphones Jack or aux Jack usually will remove sound from going to your hooked up speakers. If the speakers are wireless, are they Bluetooth or WiFi? See if you can use that feature on the Denon receiver to pair the wireless speakers.
Question:	Whats the difference between the v685 and the v685bl

User questions & answers

Question:	How do i set the avr-s750s 7th channel to bi-amp? i do not see this option in the amp assign settings as denon usa said it would be
Answer:	Hey RC, Unfortunately, S-Series units are unable to use the surround back speaker terminals in a Bi-Amp configuration. You will need an X-series unit in order to Bi-Amp your front speakers. I hope this helps if not you can always give us a call to have one of our expert technical support team members assist with this and any other concerns you may have. Thanks, Denon North America

Answer:	Yes. I use an amazon fire stick with mine
Question:	During setup, all the speakers play sound, but when i play the tv, only the front left and right speakers will play the sound. how do i fix this
Answer:	You’ll have to make sure the input sound signal is surround (Like a 5.1) and not just a stereo signal (two channel). Try testing it out with a DVD or Blu-Ray, or even a streaming service that has the 5.1 like Netflix. You’ve already verified that they are all working with the test setup so the input signal is my best guess.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can the feet be removed easily? The opening for my cabinet is about 1/4" too short to get it through. I'm thinking I could take the feet off
Answer:	Hi Adam Corrigan, You can use the "DIMMER" button on the remote to adjust the display panel settings. ~Ralph
Question:	Why are you seeing reviews for the avr x3500 and its the avr x3600 being advertised
Answer:	Like others have mentioned, it does support 4k hdr. I just set it up with my ps5, but initially it was only doing 4k with no hdr or 1080p with hdr. The process for enabling 4k with hdr is outlined in the operating handbook. I had to press "Amp menu" then "hdmi" then "sig. fmt." then "Game", then select "enhanced". ("Game" is specific to the hdmi port my ps5 is plugged into, I guess individual ports could have their own settings?)
Question:	Do I have to use a tv/montor to set this receiver up? I want to use a turntable and speckers only
Answer:	I would think if you select "TV" as your input for the receiver, the receiver is expecting audio via the HDMI-ARC channel from your TV. Is this how you have it setup?
Question:	Can I run 4 zones of audio with a 5.1 surround and an external amp with this receiver? I.e main zone and 3 other zones
Answer:	I bought the 590, appx half the time, when I turn the tv on, the receiver is linked, it is in mute mode. The only way to correct it is to turn everything off. Restart, sometimes more than once. Very annoying.

Answer:	Yes. I’m using three pairs of 8 ohm
Question:	Can you watch Netflix and Amazon fire stick with this amp
Answer:	Thanks for your question. The Yamaha RX-V4A does not have a built in phono preamp. A turntable with a built in phono preamp, or an external phono preamp can be connected to Yamaha line level audio inputs. World Wide Stereo is 42 years old and a proud authorized Yamaha dealer.

Answer:	No
Question:	Do all hdmi inputs of this unit support all of the advertised hdmi 2.1 features (4k/120hz pass-through, vrr, etc
Answer:	This can decode Atmos signals, but as it does not have enough amplified channels, cannot reproduce the height channels required for Atmos. So, yes it had the software to interpret Atmos media, but can't produce true Atmos sound.

Question:	Can I use passive subwoofer without external amplifier
Answer:	Good question.. It is possible to use a pair of channels off the Denon AVRX850H to drive a passive sub as long as you have the channels available to do so. The passive subwoofer would also need to have a stereo input and a passive crossover in order to work in this configuration.. Typically a passive subwoofer would not be used in this application..
