Hi Barney,thanks for the reply and the welcome.

I was hoping to avoid going straight to the tv...i only have infrared to control it  and its a lot more hit and miss than the rs232 on the denon.

Do you think the problem is on the LMCE side or with the Denon ?


phenigma,  thanks for the reply.... I am using a zotac ion n330 board.

Users / Problems with Denon 2310 - Video source drops

« on: October 16, 2010, 12:46:45 pm »

Hi, just started using Linuxmce recently.  Its great and thanks to all those working on it!

I am using a Denon 2310 with an MD, the MD video is connected via HDMI to the HDMI2 connector ( HDP source ) on the denon, while the audio is connected via SPDif to Opt1 on the denon.  I am also using a USB -> RS232 cable from the MD to the 2310 for control.  I use HDMI output from the denon to a samsung tv (1080p).   

The denon device was auto detected as the A1SRA and mostly works fine.  The one problem i have is everytime i play a movie, the HDMI icon on the front of the denon indicating the video source disappears and then the denon drops the video source from the MD, i.e. i get no video output from the denon to the tv.  The audio continues just fine...

If i use the denon remote control to switch to another source such as DVD, and then switch back to the HDP source, the MD Video is back and i can watch my movie ( hdmi icon on the denon box also now displays ).  However if i stop the movie, as soon as the MD returns to the 'desktop' / GUI....again the picture drops out.  I then have to repeat switching of the source to DVD and back to HDP to get it to return.

I have played with the Denon menus and tried all sorts of configurations but no joy, this continues to happen.

Anyone any ideas ? 

Thanks

Bob
