Ringold Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I am trying to use the C4 Certified IP driver for the new Denon AVR2312CI Receiver. I have followed the instructions by:1. Setting HDCP to off2. Setting Standby to on3. Static Ip address on router.4. HDMI control offThe behavior that I am seeing is that the driver works great for a while. Then after leaving the unit off for several hours, the ethernet connection seems to "lock up" or go to sleep. The unit fails to respond to the c4 remote. I then unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the Denon and plug back in, and it starts working perfectly.Has anyone else experienced this issue?????I originally had the Denon ehternet connection plugged into a switch. I experienced the above problem and thought there might be an issue with the switch, so I then connected the Denon directly into my router which did not correct the problem.I performed a "microprocessor reset" as per the manual to see if that would help. So far it has functioned properly but has only been a few hours!I would appreciate any thoughts!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Is there a firmware update available on your denon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringold Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yes. I have upgraded to the latest firmware.After doing a "microprocessor" reset, I am sorry to say that after about 8 hours, the Denon lost the ethernet connection again.Quite frustrating...I am thinking of changing to an IR driver. Can anyone recommend an acceptable IR driver for this unit. The only ones I see are either serial or IP based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringold Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 ok, so anoter question regarding serial then....is anyone aware if serial can be effectively transmitted approximately 125 feet via a cat6 ethernet??(My controller is in a closet under a staircase, and the Denon is in media room.)

dbuono Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 I used one the ESP901 (see link below) for my GE Concord security system. If you put the serial device near the receiver and then connect it to the network, all should work great. There is a driver in C4 for the device so no issues with integration. http://www.bb-elec.com/product_family.asp?familyid=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urbanmark Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Ringold... I have the AVR3312 and it was originally set-up with the serial driver but had it switched to IP (needed the serial port for something else). Like yours, the AVR3312 is connected to a switch (Linksys) and then the router (Apple AE) with an assigned "DHCP reservation" for the receiver. There were a few problems (like you've described) when originally set-up, but then changed the Denon Network settings back to DHCP and haven't had a problem since. How do you have your Denon Network Settings configured? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringold Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 THe above issues were resolved for me by switching to a serial driver.I have noticed two addtiional issues with the Denon since i have had it and am wondering if anyone else has had these same problems:1. I have a component hd matrix which is one source plugged into the Denon. I then have the output as HDMI into my projector. I have 3d bluray and direct tv (3d dedicated) as hdmi inputs into the Denon as well. I have noticed at random times, when switching inputs from the HDMI input to the component (video matrix input) that the video output is just a blank screen. I then power cycle the Denon and the video functions normally. Its like the video upconversion doesn't always work on the Denon and requires a power cycle to work itself out. Is anybody else experiencing this issue? (It only happens about once or twice a month.)2. On some channels on direct tv (not all) , the speech is out of sync slightly with the picture.Just wondering if anyone has experienced these issues....

chicagoskiguy Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Ringold, I am getting ready to install a 3313CI, and have been doing some research on AVS Forums, and they list a nework reset procedure. Not sure if it applies to the 2312, but maybe something to try?http://www.avsforum.com/t/1409431/the-official-denon-avr-xx13-model-owners-thread-faq#post_21995260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
