I bought a new tv and my first ever :rolleyes: AV receiver 2 weeks ago. It's a samsung 3d tv - I'm not using the 3d right now but wanted to future proof - and liked the internet connectivity.
The receiver is a Denon 1612 - kind of low end. I just wanted something to drive 5.1 surround in my family room.
I hooked up the system like this.
wall coax -> verizon fios hd dvr -> hdmi in to reciever -> hdmi out to TV.
blue ray is hdmi out -> recieiver -> then of course same hdmi to tv.
Watching baseball I get a little jittery effect at times- as if the tv can't process signals fast enough.
THe TV is 240hz refresh so that shouldn't be the issue.
The verizon box is a new one and has some issues. I think I need to return it for a different one.
But I've questioned this receiver too. Is it too "low end"? Can it be the weak link in processing? It doesn't have internet access. And I'm thinking I may want that in the future. Should I return it and upgrade? I paid like $350 for it - maybe I should upgrade to the 1912 for 150 more?
Or maybe it's just the verizon box or my eyes? Or should I wire the setup differently? blue ray and verizon boxes into tv and tv audio out to the receiver?
I'm confused....
