Re: video/audio switching with AVR 3805

Have you not got Sky plugged into the DBS/SAT video input then??

For video switching you need to be on the Input that you have the audio connected/assigned to e.g DBS/SAT, then press the Video Select button on the front panel and twiddle the Function knob until you get to the Input with the video you want. Once you've done that the Denon will remember it each time you use that Input.

Could save yourself that by connecting Sky to the same Input for both video and audio.

Re: video/audio switching with AVR 3805

thanks for reply jase

i only ever connected audio inputs on the 3805

so sky is connected to optical connection for DBS

Thats exactly what i have to do when inputs are changed at the moment

was hoping that by utilising the composite/svideo connections that the 3805 would auto detect them and switch automatically

am i asking for the impossible

Re: video/audio switching with AVR 3805

Well, the Composite/S-video connections are fixed, so as long as you plug into the one marked DBS/SAT you'll get video and audio when you select that Input.

What it can't do is guess which one you're randomly plugged into and automatically switch that over for you. It's not quite that clever! lol.

Try here for the remote:-

or

Depends which one you prefer.

I'd use S-Video from your Sky box if you have the option. Composite is crap.

Re: video/audio switching with AVR 3805

thanks again

nearly be cheaper picking up a second hand 3805

i have never used any of the video inputs on the 3805 i just let my lumagen do the video stuff

have i been doing it wrong all along?

assuming no external scaler will using the svideo input improve sky picture?

Re: video/audio switching with AVR 3805

Depends what you've been using up to now as the original signal from the Sky box. If it's RGB then that will probably have the edge over S-Video but if you've been using PAL (Composite) then anything's better than that, lol.

I use S-Video from my Sky+ box into the Amp (which then scales etc) and it looks great. Even without scaling/deinterlacing it looks good though. Wouldn't use Composite for anything if I could possibly avoid it.
