C4RVA Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Long time lurker, first time poster... I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what is going on with this receiver.I've got a HC 300 controlling a 4308Ci via serial driver. I have a TIVO and Blu Ray player connected via HDMI. The 4308 responds correctly when switching to or from the HC, TIVO, and Blu Ray. However, When I try to switch to the 4308's internal devices, like Internet radio, HD radio, Radio, or XM the receiver powers down and does nothing. I do see the correct input selected on the front of the denon display a split second before it turns off. I did some programming the driver notes suggest with no change. I've been fooling with the driver with composer for the last few hours with no avail. I may just sit down for a few days and write a new driver as the current one seems a bit lacking. That or I'll just look into a matrix switcher and abandon the denons internal devices. Seems like the denon's switching between inputs has some sync problems anyway.Anyone have any similar problems? Any solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C4RVA Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Attached is the project file. The code under Living Room >Audio Selection Change is what the drivers notes suggested. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil12011 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Here you go. Clear your old project (after you back it up) and load this one. I only made one change. It should do the trick. Let me know if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4RVA Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Won't have time to load it until Thursday. I'm looking through it now. Do I get to know the secret change? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil12011 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 No secret, just a change to the AVR driver. Usually they do not default to discrete on/off under power management. Most of the issues like yours, are 99 times out of 100 because of the power management set to "assume device is always on". I just changed it to "use discrete on/off codes" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4RVA Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 So no change in the operation of the receiver. Maybe I'll just try IR control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4RVA Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 So I've been playing some more with this. It appears that now the denon only switches off when going from video devices to listen devices. If I switch the blu ray player on under the watch button I can switch back and forth fine from blu ray to Tivo.However whenever I switch to listen only devices,not including the HC 300, the denon powers off. Thoughts?I'm getting closer and closer to going with a new HDMI/Component Matrix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xc420 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 One thing to try is write down all the connections and everything. Then rebuild the project from scratch. It might fix the issue you are having with the serial control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C4RVA Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Just took your advice and rebuilt the project. Same results. Going to play some more with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
