1) I was curious if anyone else has experienced the following problem with the Azur 540r: When controlling the volume with the remote, the volume changes in the OPPOSITE direction of what you wanted. Ie, I went to turn down the volume the other day (already at a high level) and nearly blew my speakers. This problem seems random, and has arisen maybe 15 times in the month I've owned the unit. I purchased new batteries, but no help. My dealer said I should bring the remote in, so they can test it there. But what will that prove? The problem could be the unit itself, and there is no guarantee that this 'random' issue will decide to appear at that time.
2) My other question is related to choosing Analogue vs. optical inputs. I currently have my computer hooked up via optical, and my dvd player (just stereo right now) hooked up analogue. I noticed the manual recommends hooking a cd player up in analogue mode, but does not explain why. Is this because the DAC in the unit is probably not as good as the one in a cd/dvd player? Also, should I also connect my computer in analogue mode?
Info: Currently using the onboard audio (Realtek AC97 - ALC650) on my abit motherboard. I also have an old sb live value if anyone thinks that would be better. My dvd player is a Panasonic RV32. And, I am a 'stereo' guy, only really interested in what's best for my music.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it if anyone reads this ;)
i would leave the computer digital, should be less noise than pc soundcard analog.
and some people experience cd dropout on the first few seconds of playing a cd going out the digital while the reciever decides what kind of source is being sent it.where this won't happen on the analog.
and their very well may be better dacs in one of the 2 units.
you could allways try both and see if you hear a difference.
