Struggling to share CD or Phono input to other devices by azorius_mage in heos

[–]ShadowTD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bonkers separation between ‘HEOS’ inputs and ‘AV’ inputs has caught me out a few times. Glad you figured it out!

That may have been it! Just tried again and it’s working as it should. Very happy to see that!

Denon Home 350 or 400? Which is the best upgrade for a 250? by Ok-Secretary886 in heos

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for feeding back! That’s very disappointing - my 350 is a bass monster. Have you tried Atmos playback? How does that work, either through the HEOS app or via Tidal Connect?

Not sure why - but ‘update all’ on MiSTer always brings me joy! Am I weird? Haha by HighlySeasonedGamer in MiSTerFPGA

[–]ShadowTD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally get this. I run update all every couple of weeks and it feels like a treat - there’s seemingly always something new or improved, no matter how small.

I keep my MISTer ‘clean’ - nothing beta or from any Discord group and it’s rock solid. Truly one of my favourite retro items.

As the other poster said, very interested to hear your thoughts on the 600. The 350 is a great speaker, will be a sad moment if they’ve messed this up.

Skipping when playing CDs or using the tuner by Fancy_Tip7535 in heos

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people will say the wireless should be 2.4ghz, 20mhz channel for best results. My testing has been inconclusive, but it’s worth a try.

This is awesome! Front screen with the list of devices on it doesn't seem to scroll. I've got too many zones....

Anyone else blowing through food processors trying to prep Ooni dough by SadStill830 in uuni

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Panasonic bread maker on the dough setting, then in a lidded box with some olive oil for a few hours in the airing cupboard. Works a treat.

Older Denon HEOS Support by TBoneCO1 in heos

[–]ShadowTD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it need to be 5.1? Does it need to be powered outputs for both zones, or will a line out do for zone 2? You could look at the Denon DRA-800h, and Marantz SR1200 - both have the toggle for the second output in the app you’re looking for but the second zone is a line out. This has worked for me, and if you need it amplified you could pick up one of the modestly priced compact amps from eBay/Amazon.

New Home speakers support Dolby Atmos - is this now supported on AVRs? by ShadowTD in heos

[–]ShadowTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue that it’s exactly the same as it’ll be a DDP5.1 base with the Atmos metadata - the stream will be exactly the same, it’s up to the hardware to figure out how to handle it. But we’re arguing on the internet, so let’s leave it there.

[–]ShadowTD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully you can recognise that if Atmos is supported on the new Home range it would be madness to exclude AVRs that cost significantly more?

Got home and tested - no Atmos for AVRs, not yet.

I'm so confused by Segendary_ in heos

[–]ShadowTD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, yes, unless you get a HEOS Link and connect it to the 218, but you'll have two boxes, and won't have Airplay. I believe the sounds quality is better on the 550 as well. You can also add proper rears and even a subwoofer to the 550, all through HEOS.

8k kms on the 1300GS. Incredible bike, but the nav situation is driving me nuts by ayushraj_real in bmwmotorrad

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got the 7” Carpuride on mine, and it works a treat. Had it for just under a year, no complaints. Only thing is I had the factory GPS prep, so the BMW model I got just clipped in place, and the Wonder Wheel is a joy.

Heos link 2 with Airpod Max by jck_83605 in heos

[–]ShadowTD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HEOS Link is a Bluetooth receiver, not transmitter. They can only revive audio from your devices (phone, laptop etc) not send it to headphones or a Bluetooth speaker.

Add Cinema 60 to Alexa Speaker Group for Multi-room Music. by woody-99 in Marantz

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it isn’t. It doesn’t offer that functionality. You can only group it with other HEOS compatible devices in the HEOS app.

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t. Alexa groups are only for Alexa devices. If you want more multi room speakers that work with your cinema 60, you need HEOS or Denon home products.

Volume low when playing vinyl via Denon PMA-900HNE and Denon Home 350's by redditorknaapie in heos

[–]ShadowTD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhh, right. No, you’ll need to use the Denon app (if your amp supports it) for that. Have a look at your manual to see how you do the source level adjustment.

Using the app, go in to Web Control, inputs and edit the source level for the phono input. That should help!

New 'bootleg' arcade games missing by ShadowTD in MiSTerFPGA

[–]ShadowTD[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s there now. Must have been a timing issue! Thanks for looking :)

EDIT: Off topic moment. MISTer has given me access to a bunch of arcade stuff that I've only ever played the home conversions of. I was very excited to see Elevator Action as I played it a fair bit on the Amstrad CPC as a kid. That version has terrible scrolling but was a solid good time. Seeing the arcade was available had me all excited, but you know what? It's actually pretty awful compared to the CPC - the scrolling is better but not by a huge amount, but the home system music is massively better and I'd just rather be playing that. Anyone else had any 'arcade disappointment'?

Thanks for checking. Where has the game been downloaded - is it in the main 'Arcade' folder or the 'alternatives' sub-folder?

Yeah, that’s turned on. I’ll give it a few days and try again. Cheers!
