Denon S301 Hack

[ozzies]

Had one of these 301's for 5 weeks with no problems in fact it's excellent. But promised cd software hack for multi region from dealer not come through.

Anybody got a copy they can let me have ?

Also when using my ipod on interface Iam not getting full songlist and cannot scroll through fully and it is very slow.is everybody the same mines a 2G ipod

Me too, I've had mine about 6 weeks and still waiting for the multi-region CD from AV Land -_-. I'm beginning to wonder if it will ever materialize.

The only thing that bugs me about the unit is some very slight hissing from the speakers (I was told that was normal?). Picture for DVD's is excellent in 720p or 1080i, and sound is good. Obviously not full 5.1 as on 2 speakers and a sub, but does a good job of creating some surround effect and nice immersive sound.

I don't know about your ipod problem sorry (I don't use an ipod on mine atm). If I get the disc before you, your welcome to borrow mine.

thanks for the offer I will do the same.Mine was bought from peter tyson and have had reassurance that they are waiting from denon so with yours being a different dealer and no disc it looks as tho its the truth.
As for hissing I have nonewith my set up.

I was told I should get it in about a week now - so hope for the best .

Re: the speakers hissing, not even alittle if you get right up to them? I tryed setting mine up away from other cables etc, incase it was interference, but always the same.. It's like a slight fuzzy metallic hissing sound, abit quieter than a PC fan.

Maybe I should have sent it back for a replacement.

Just buy it from an authorised Uk denon dealer, whom will mod it for you once denon release a fully tested and bug free version!

Just received my S301 today and the guy who came from the dealer to install it brought along a CD for the region mod.....seems to work fine with discs from Zone 1 and 2....

On another note, the Ipod functionality is a bit slow once you get down lower in the Artists list......the manual says to update the software on the ipod so maybe I'll have to try....

Enjoy,
Jeff

ozzies - I have the Denon S-301 multiregion update disc now (upgraded mine fine), if you didn't get yours yet PM me and we'll sort something out .

[themullet]

chochoc- I am also after an update disc, is there any chance you could sort me out

[chochoc]

The files come to about 40mb so too large to send by email, and I don't have anywhere to upload to. Just PM me and I'll send you the CD

If anyone else wants it just post below, then after themullet has used the update disc - he can send it onto the next person, and so on, so everyone can update.

Hello there
I purchased my S301 in November last year and thought it was multi region and I have just been told by the company I need to take it take to the shop to be upgraded at a cost.... Is there anyway I can use the Cd to do mine at home?
Many thanks
Keith

[themullet]

Keith Root- Just send me a PM with your details and I will post the cd to you once I have finished with it

[ozzies]

sorry guys haven't looked at the forum for a while.Yes they sent me my disc and it works perfectly 10 days ago. So if anybody is stuck for a disc get in touch.

Hi!

Just got the set as well. The dealer here in Oslo, Norway hasn't got the disc yet. It would therefore be nice to download it from somewhere.

Anyone here on the forum who has an idea on how to fix things?
