Through Intelligence, there is Stupidity

I respectfully withdraw my previous knocks on Denon. Denon makes great products. Their only problem is that they cannot help but sell those products to stupid people like me.

You see, Denon receivers have a large Standby Button. When I tried pressing the button to turn on the receiver, the receiver did not turn on. Therefore I assumed the receiver broke.

Using my EE skills, I opened up the receiver last night. I tested power to the unit, and then into the unit. I found a line flowing towards the front of the unit. I traced it and noticed it connected to a button. I looked at the front and realized that next to the large Standby button is an On/Off button. I pressed it and the receiver promptly sprung back to life.

Through my intelligence, I realized I am an idiot. At least until I saw this, and then I felt a little bit better about me.

Hahaha I'm not sure what it says about me, but I saw that Seacrest thing happen live. It sent chills down my spine at the social awkwardness of it all. A previous episode (or maybe the same one) had a few shots of Seacrest trying to avoid a kiss from a hot female contestant. The Soup must have had a field day with it. I need to make sure I catch their recap.

And for the record, I stop watching American Idol when they get to Vegas and the tryouts are over.
