Ok, though I thought the way the title came out in the photo was very stylish...

Thanks for the replies. I can say that I did the unplug thing and its different now but still not working.  Now my TV is willing to switch the audio to HDMI receiver but I hear nothing. I wanted to use ARC since I understand TOSLINK can only do stereo.  I will try with TOSLINK though since at...

Hi, I hooked up my new Denon X4400H to my Samsung TV using the HDMI3 input labelled ARC. As installed, the ARC worked as expected - TV audio sent through to the the receiver - the receiver automatically switched to TV Audio. But I went away a couple of days and on coming back no more audio...

Arrived in time for the weekend.  Speakers came too (thanks Johan) - the big cable up is in process...

Hi, In case it helps someone else: I had a litle bit of hum in my subwoofer. My mains neutral is probably noisy since I have a grid-tied inverter feeding power from solar and also lots of switching PSUs.  Since the inverter is a switch-mode style it does make noise on the mains and RF...

I did see it, though the comments seemed to be older. Thanks to you and others for the endorsement!

Hi, I'm looking at shipping speakers Durban to Cape Town. I see on the forums positive comments on Star Express.  Who have given me a decent quote. Please - do people have comments good or bad if you have used them. Unfortunately I can't post in the For Sale forums where I see other threads...

Hi, I'd be nterested in opinions:  A Denon S950H (2019 model) or pay R3k more for an ex-demo X4400H (2018, maybe 2017?). Its a great price compared to the new price, but it is an older (discontinued) receiver. X4400H has 9 amps not 7.  Has 11.2 pre-outs (S950H has no pre-outs). It has...

Hi, I have an Denon 2307CI but the HDMI/Optical inputs don't work properly any more. This AV receiver has analogue "ext-ins" - so I had the idea to use an external decoder.  I find lots of Toslink or HDMI to stereo adapters.  Does anyone know where I could find one that can decode at least...
