out of storage after five years and the batterey is dead. Today I called
Denon tech support and was told I was number sixteen caller in line for
tech
support then I googled denon 3801 battery replacment but didn't get any
useful hits. How do i replace trhe battery and which battery do I
install,
incase their is a generic no name battery in the unit?

Thanks,

Mike


This is a more appropriate question for rec.audio.tech. I took the
liberty of crossposting it there, as I don't know if you monitor that
group. Perhaps somebody there will be able to answer your question.

Much thanks, I don't monitor that group but will now.





I'm pretty sure the 3801 does not use a battery - more likely a backup
capacitor.

You're correct I got through to Denon today.. Is there a simple test to
check the capacitor?
