    AVR-3805 & Denon Link Q to Kevin or others

    Hello,

    I just bought a Denon AVR-3805 and a DVD-2900 in Norway. I really liked the Auto Calibration of the AVR-3805: It works very well as far as I can hear.

    However, then comes the disappointment: When playing SACD or DVD-Audio, I have to use the Ext. In connection that *** bypasses *** the surround circuity of the 3805 and thus the Auto Calibration settings. I know have to do a separate ***manual*** cailbration of the speakers on the 2900! BIG LET-DOWN!! What's the use of the auto calibration then?

    My quesion now is: If I buy a DVD-A1 or A11 that has Denon link, will SACD and DVD-Audio playback then use the auto calibration settings of the AVR-3805?

    Upgrading to a A1 or A11 is a big investment, so this is really important to me !!

    Thanks for any help.

      Hello.

      Seems like nobody around here knows this-......

      Let me tell what I have found out so far:

      Using Denon Link, the DVD-5900 (DVD A11) manual indicates that the signal then will be routed thorugh the surround processor, and thus the Auto Configuration (using the microphone (includedn in europe)) settings will be used. The 5900 manual even states that the Speaker settings are disabled when using the Denon Link.

      The AVR-3805 supports Denon Link version 3 that supports both DVD-Audio and SACD. DVD-5900 (A11) currently supports Denon Link 2, which supports DVD Audio, but not SACD.

      NO Denon DVD player yet supports Denon Link version 3, due to a licensing issue with the SACD consorttium (or Sony et al). They expect this to be resolved soon, and players like the DVD-5900 (A11) will then be upgradable for free to Denon Link 3 (for free: at least that's what the store here in Norway told me)

      So, I am upgrading to a DVD-A11, I do NOT want to mess with speaker settings all over the place when the Auto Calibration works as good as it does. I also change listening position from time to time, and then do a reconfiguration automatically: Very convenient in my opinion. :P

              Are my findings correct?

                  by Sindhu
                  What has been your experience with the auto setup of the Denon AVR3805?
                  I did mine on the weekend and oops ! It did the FL/FR/C distances correctly (12.5 ft for FL/FR and 14.5 ft for center) put the sub 21 feet away (shud be 15ft) and the SL/SR 10 feet away (shud be 6 ft) from the listening position....

                  Recerntly purchased a Denon AVR3805 & a DVD3910. Have'nt set them up yet. What is the best way to interconnect the audio ? From the manual it appears vaguely that the audio is best connected through analogue terminals (5 wire). The denon link on the DVD (SE 2.0) does not play SCAD although the one...

                  Hello everyone,

                  I bought the following set of B&W speakers about a year ago:
