I was thinking about the music I like and realised a lot of it is characterised by one thing. It is not a simple repetitive tune but has chord and time changes throughout. Examples are Bruce Springsteen's Thunder Road and of course Born To Run. As well as others such as Bohemian Rhapsody...

I have an eclectic taste in music, from any Metallica to early Dire Straits, Love over Gold and Telegraph Road.. From local artists, I like Paul Kelly's works. I am not fussed on Doof Doof music or anything using voice pullers.

All the Clive Cussler series about Dirk Pitt are great. Just don't read/watch them all at once. I will have to get my hands on the movie! Some of his other works are on IMDB. https://www.imdb.com/filmosearch/?sort=user_rating&role=nm0193774

All great movies, I read the Sahara novel and thoroughly enjoyed it. I have yet to get it on DVD.

Well, my Denon was set to do firmware updates while in sleep mode. It seems they have rolled out an update to fix the issue.Four days in a row It now connects correctly with the TV. I am also impressed with the Audyssey, I don't have my sub hooked up yet and I am impressed by the bass from my...

Thanks for your feedback, I am looking at upgrading my PC monitor to 4K and test it with that before replacing a TV that has been stable for many years.

OK, being an Aussie. What is flavacol and what is in it?

The trouble is that it is 12 years old and still going strong and I hate producing more e-waste. Since we have limited 4K content and no 8K I cannot justify getting rid of it. I have now started it up several times using the Denon set to CD, powering on the TV and then switching over to PVR...

Thanks anyway ddude003, gave me a chuckle. Unfortunately I didn't buy a swing arm mount when I installed the TV 12 years ago so I cannot easily access the rear of the unit. As for the Denon, it is set to do automatic updates via the LAN.

I didn't thank you for your input. I appreciate all suggestions. My original cable was a standard 2m HDMI which is why I went and purchased an 8K cable. After looking at other forums it appears there may be handshaking issues with the 3700 series. I found if if I turn the TV on and wait for it...

Also, The new 3m cable is an 8K HDMI cable.

The HDMI to the TV is 3m. I have checked and I cannot find a USB port to update the firmware and I cannot see behind if there is a network port.

Thanks Todd, I will check whether that is doable.

OK, all new 4K HDMI cables installed and still it takes 5 to 10 minutes for me to get a picture. Powering down Receiver, TV. Unplugging cables and re-inserting into other outputs. I have set the Denon to output 1080i (The only option) yet my Sharp Aquos wants 1080p. I will log a support call...

Well, The Denon finally arrived. I disconnected my old Onkyo and set up the new system. I sat back and powered it all on and - No video. Rechecked everything and all looked fine. Powered down and restarted it all. Still no video. Tried all three HDMI out sockets, Nada. OK, Try a new HDMI cable...
