I had a very similar experience with a refurbished X3500 in 2020. Tried multiple TVs and a projector as well as multiple input sources. New cables, old cables and all cables passed the built-in Denon HDMI tester (very cool feature I didn't know existed before talking with Denon support). The...
This works! So far anyway, I have not run any tests or calibration programs yet. Just know that I am getting sound through my amp again!
Thanks for the suggestion, Doug!

Very clear Doug. Thank you! I just ordered one of these:
My hope is that the optical can still feed the Sherwood processor. If it works, I can wait a few more months to upgrade, if not, it can be sent back.
Doug, I think that is what happened to my Sherwood Newcastle as well. What was the switch you ended up with? I'd hate to scrap a very nice amp that still sounds good. I never tried the optical or coax inputs, but the analog ones work fine.
Thanks, guys! Pluses and minuses all over the place! Wish I could afford it all!
Given my budget and thirst for "newness", I think I'll wait a couple of weeks and see what the next news on the Onkyo front is. In the meantime, I will keep my eye on the refurbished NAD (out of stock right now)...
The NAD T758 is very tempting, especially given the praise I am reading for sound quality (and only $900!). However, someday I may want to add the Atmos speakers in the ceiling. But that may never happen.
Also, plugging this into a simple 1080i/p Epson projector, would I miss having any video...
I could use some help finding an AVR to replace a Newcastle R-972 (HDMI no longer working). I use the system for movies (Fire TV Stick/Blu-ray) and music (Fire TV Stick/analog input) about 50/50. I am trying to keep the price around $1000. 7.1 channels at 100 watts minimum. I was hoping for a...
Thank you for the information Todd! That is great news on the Onkyo (I think!?) since I had my eye on possibly the RZ50. I use the system for movies (Fire TV Stick/Blu-ray) and music (Fire TV Stick/analog input) about 50/50. I am trying to keep the price around $1000. 7.1 channels at 100 watts...
Hello all. I am Jay from Wisconsin and new here! I've been messing around in home audio/theater for a while. Not really anything too high-end. I've always looked for deals to fit my budget at the time and fit my wife's "It better not look or sound obnoxious" style (whatever that is!). I have a...
