I would love help figuring out how to assign pre outs to FL, FR, C. I have a 3 channel amp powering the front stage and the denon x4500h should be power the rest of the speakers, but the pre outs haven’t been assigned. Can’t seem to figure out how to do that and I feel like if I don’t, my amp is essentially useless. Please help!
I have a question i have denon avr-x2700h and i use the audio out. Not the arc hdmi.
When i plug all pf my speaker only 2 rca plug is working so i connect all the speakers in 1, and my subwoofer is working when i tested but its not working when im playing movies,
This was awsome settings I have the sr-6014 and almost everything’s the same thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you Martin much appreciated.
You're welcome!
Just bought the denon 4700h! Thanks for your input!
Awesome! You will like it! 👍
@@TyEichele hello lovely Calibration video
@@TyEichele can you please make a calibration video of denon avr 1700 or 2700
@@sumitagarwal3788 Sorry, I do not have this receiver to do a video about!
@@TyEichele thanks , can't you request denon to send a demo unit of avr 1700 or 2700 so that you can do a review and calibration video.
How do I reset the Denon AVR remote to just control the AVR and not anything else when I turn the TV either on or off.
Hello. Why not „video output: bypass.“ so the denon always changes the video signal. In my case, Apple TV change the picture perfect, and the denon changes again the Apple settings. So, bypass. Direct from Apple to tv
Well done Ty, thanks
Thank you!
I have the avr x1700h and I don't have half of those settings. When I hit audio, I only get Subwoofer level, Surround perameter, Restorer, Audyssey, Manual eq is blacked out and there is lastly Remote Control. I don't even have a volume, just the subwoofer level. I did the setup with the mic but don't know how to readjust like center or eq's. Very disappointing.
Hi. Great video. I just bought the Denon AVRX4700H. In the manual I don't see a connection configuration that will represent the speakers I have to connect to it. There will 5 floor speakers (FR, FL, C, SR, SL, plus 2 Dolby enabled FHR, FHL (assume connect to Height 1) but I also want to Bi-Amp the Front Klipsch 8060's, and would likely use the Height 2 connections for that. They have 7.1 channel:Bi-Amp Connection of Front Speakers in the manual, but in that configuration they show an SBR and SBL which I do not have. When I hook up all the speaker wires and run Audyssey, will it figure out the correct configuration to ASSIGN? Thank you in advance for any replies.
No, to my knowledge you have to have that all set prior to running Audyssey. I would search some forums to see if you can find an answer to your question, or double check the speaker config options to figure out what matches your setup best. But those settings do need to be set prior to Audyssey. Good luck!
Welcome back
Thank you!
I wish you had disabled audyssey and shown the graphic EQ. Number of bands and level of dB adjustment per band would have been nice to see. Will the speaker assign allow you to go down to a 3.1 setup? I'm currently only running Front L/R + Center and sub while I decide on what I'm doing for rears (5.1.2, or 7.1, etc...). Also, does it allow lossless playback from the various apps in Heos. I have Deezer, and want to be able to play uncompressed quality directly from the receiver.
I honestly don't use HEOS so am unsure of that question. You'll have to Google it and hopefully find your answer somewhere else. I'm pretty sure you can go down to a 3.1 channel setup, but again in all honesty I've never tried it personally, so don't know about that for sure. I'd Google the owners manual for the AVR and check that option out. You can find them online. Good luck!
@@TyEichele Too late. Didn't want to miss the return window on my current defective Onkyo TX-NR6100, so I ordered it. I'll find out the hard way :)
Thank you for the walkthrough video. It'll save me time during the setup.
Hello Ty. Great video as I am on the verge of purchasing a 4700 (or the Marantz 7015 cousin). My small appartemnt (and neighbors) force me to set up a 3.0 configuration (with 2 Dynaudio Emit 30 for L&R and a 25 for center). No sub, no back, no height,... Do you know whether the speaker set up menu allows this amp to work with such a reduced configuration? Note the Dynaudio's do not allow for bi amping/wiring. Many thanks!
I believe everything is customizable to get it to where you need it, yes. If you look in the manual, found here: manuals.denon.com/AVRX4700H/NA/EN/GFNFSYcrpfrlsu.php
you can select if you have surrounds, heights, atmos, etc. and either select how many of them you have, if they are in the front or the rear, or leave it at None. Then when you get to your amp assign menu you can further adjust settings based on where you speakers are located in your room. Check the manual for more details, but hopefully that makes sense!
@@TyEichele Many thanks Ty. I had also written without much hope to Denon's support, but they responded very swiftly and explained Dolby or DTS sources would be correctly decoded and then downmixed to 3 channels. They however said it was a pitty not to take advange of more channels, which I can only agree with...
Hi I connected my Denon to tv arc for somereason I got sound out of speaker but when I switch to hdmi arc to get to the Denon set up menu it said no signal any help? Thank you . It almost I had no video out put thru receiver to tv
I'm not sure as I don't use any of the Arc settings on my current setup. I would do a google search or try calling tech support for help. Good luck!
Hello. I recently watched your bass shaker install video and found it very helpful as I also had an older receiver I wanted to use to power the shakers. My man receiver is a Denon S570bt. My spare receiver is a Denon AVR-E200. I’m running a cable from my 2nd sub out on my main receiver into the coax DVD input in the 2nd receiver. I’m pretty confident I wired it correctly but I’m receiving nothing from the shakers which are the Dayton Audio 50w shakers. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Follow up question. Should the receiver for the bass shakers be set to the same output as the main receiver (i. E. Blu-ray)-or the input I have the coax plugged into (I. E. Sat or DVD) ?
You might have it wired correctly, just make sure the 2nd receiver is set to the input coming from the main receiver. My old receiver has a 'direct' setting, meaning it doesn't change the signal coming from my main Denon AVR and just passes the signal through after amplifying it. I also have a speaers A or B option on my older receiver, and I have to make sure they are both turned on in order to activate all the channels I am using on the old receiver. It's probably a settings problem - so just keep messing with it until you get it right.
Just got a Denon AVR-X2700H. Super newbie question. Is it Apple TV 4k to HDMI 1 and then HDMI eARC to the TV?
Pretty sure that is correct, but I would refer to the owners manual to be sure. I'm not very familiar with eARC stuff personally. If you don't have a owners manual, just google it and you'll find it online.
Hello sir,i am running a denon 2800 through elac debut 6.2 fronts-center and a polk hts10 sub.It's a 3.1.
How to set all speakers playing while am watching tv/movie and ps5;
I am using stereo mode for music but i cant find a setting playing all speakers in ps5 or when i want to see a movie.
In movie mode playing only the center speaker.
Any help?
Does your remote have a Green button on it? If I remember correctly, try the green button to access different sound modes. Or google a user manual for your specific model and see if you can find the menu for sound modes in the user manual. Good luck!
Hi can somone help me please. I have a Denon x4700h reciever UK model and I need some advice if there is anyone out there who can help. OK I have a Rega Apollo R CD player and I want to use it by connecting it up by using the optical cable. I have an optical cable using the TV audio but I was told I can connect my cd player using an optical cable by connection in to the optical media player at the back of the reciever. I have done this and although the cd player is running I am not getting any sound through. Is there anywhere I need to go into the settings to get the sound coming through and also with optical cable connected to the media player optical do I need to use cd or media player for the sound to come through. Sorry if this is a tad confusing but any help would be much appreciated. I was thinking also of just using interconnects instead of using optical.
I have a much older Denon amp, so it may not be the same, but you need to tell it which digital input to use for the CD, as they are assignable. Somewhere in the settings (probably input assign) you should be able to choose between the various optical and coaxial inputs for when you select the CD source. If you have the CD plugged into optical input 1, select OPT1 in that menu.
Why im not getting enough sound from height speakers.Im using denon 4700h amplifier with additional amplifier. Im having 7(bottom).6(height).2(subwoofer).Surround parameter is movie(14).
Could be lots of reasons. However, keep in mind if they have been properly set up (Audessey for example) you won't hear a ton of volume from them. They are more noticeable in some movies than others. Depends on the movie. The movie track also has to be playing in Dolby Atmos for heights to have proper sound coming from them. You can turn the volume up on them a decibel or two after your speaker calibration but you don't want to increase it too much to be overpowering your bed layer speakers. Hope this makes sense some. Good luck
Please help i have spent quite a bit and i dont understand. I have a denon X1700h that is 8ohms and i have 2 6ohms speakers. My 1 year old removed a binding post from 1 speaker so i have only been using 1 speaker. Today i got flashing red light and i have removed all wires and its been off for a few hours but still got red flashing light. It is still under guarantee so i can return but would you know why this could happen and if i can get an amp for this reciever ? Because i want to get 4ohm speakers
I'm sorry this is over my level of knowledge. I would call tech support or just replace the unit under warranty like you mentioned. Good luck
Hi! Do you know how this Denon reciver is? Compare to older one,Like Denon avr 7200wa? In sound quality is?
Sorry, I don't have other Denons to compare it too. Maybe someone else can chime in
@@TyEichele Yeah maybe.. Anyways,Thanks for the replay!
Can you please give me some advice..I have used the Setup with the microphone but it still doesn't sound, what am I doing wrong
Not sure I understand what your problem is. If you aren't getting any sound from your speakers then I'd check all the speaker setup settings. If you aren't getting test tones for the microphone to measure then you must not be in the correct setup menu either.
I'd google search for an online owners manual for your receiver if you don't have one. That should help you out.
Hai i am from India just purchased the latest denon 3800H , caliberation has been a pain in the ass , after
celebrating and saving the settings pls can you tell me how to copy the same settings to all the inputs ( devices connected to different ports ) , cause while switching between inputs the settings just seem to change pretty much every fucking time which is driving me nuts , please help 🙏
I'm sorry to hear you are having a hard time getting this to work as you want it too. I honestly don't know why your settings would be changing just by switching inputs. Might be time to write down all your settings, do a factory reset on the Denon and start over maybe? It's really hard to know without being there as you can understand. Take your time, check every setting option again, and see what you come up with. Good luck!
Can I run 2 book shelf and a powered sub without setting up on a TV?
You should be able too. You can use the front display of the AVR to go through the settings, however it'll be much easier on a tv using the on-screen menus.
In Audio/subwoofer level adjustment you set -5.5 dB for Sub1 and 0 dB for Sub2
In Speakers/Manual Setup/Levels your system is set to -9.5 dB for Sub1 and 0 for Sub2.
What do you think the difference between Audio/subwoofer level adjustment and speakers level configuration for subwoofer might be?
Sorry about that I can see where that would be confusing! They are the same exact settings, but somewhere along the line in filming this video I obviously changed it between the two different menus. I normally run them around the -9.5 db setting, but it's all personal preference. So again, they are the same exact thing just located in two separate areas in the menu options. Sorry for the confusion - thank for watching!
@@TyEichele no problem! Actually the confusion is made by Denon (and Marantz) by putting the same configuration in different places. Although there's a button in my remote control (OPTION) that enables changes for each channel level differently from the level speakers we were talking about. Still do not understand that...
Okay so I own the Denon s750h and I have all my speakers set to 80hz and the eco settings on auto. But for some random reason I keep getting random cracking sounds and I know it’s bad for speakers I wonder if 80hz is sending to much bass to my speakers.
Does it only happen at more bass heavy scenes? If so, maybe. Easy thing to try would be to raise the crossover and watch the same scene again to see if it makes a difference. I'm sure there are multiple possibilities of what could cause your issue, just have to start making small changes and see if you can narrow it down. Don't forget to check your speaker sizes (set to small if you're using subwoofers) and your LPF crossover is set to 120hz or so as well. Good luck - let us know what you figure out!
@@TyEichele it only happens when I watch CZcams videos sometimes or listening to music.
@@Lowkey_nxthxn That is interesting.....maybe someone else will chime in with some ideas as I don't know what else for you to try. Maybe a difference source of where the youtube videos come from? See if it does the same thing?
@@TyEichele czcams.com/video/bBmbLztALvE/video.html this is the link to the sound that I hear someone else recorded the video so I guess I’m not the only person with this issue. Take a look at the video if you can
@@Lowkey_nxthxn Yikes - doesn't sound good at all. Have you contacted Denon about it? Is it still under warranty? I'd maybe start with them, seems like a legit issue with the AVR itself.
LFE + Mains is that it sends bass signals away from the speakers to the subs so it don't stress out the speakers.
One thing I'd like to know if you can help with? What resolution do you get from the Denon setup on screen? I have a 4k tv but I only get 1080p 50hrz from that source? I've looked everywhere in the menu system & can't find anything? I don't have any HDMI's connected to the av receiver for inputs, I'm only using the arc HDMI output port on the back of the AVR for seeing the Denon setup on screen.
I think you have that opposite?
LFE - Uses AVR crossover, to pass low frequencies to the subwoofer. Lets say you set them at 120hz, any lower frequency than that will be taken care by sub and higher will be handled by speaker.
LFE + Main - This will pass all of the bass or low frequencies to the subwoofer, in most of the AVRs the fronts run full range. Normally when you run speakers as large, the sub doesn't get the low frequencies.
As far as only getting a 1080p picture from the setup menu, I'm guessing that is all the setup menu is. You really need to connect something with a 4k source to an input and then re-check because I'm guessing that will solve your issue. Good luck!
There is something in setup menu general/firmware is (add new features) what is the use for that
Great Questions! I had to look it up myself. Here is what I found:
manuals.denon.com/AVRX4700H/NA/EN/GFNFSYldiskxse.php
Scroll down until you get to the add new features and it will tell you all about what it does and how it works. Thanks for watching!
@@TyEichele thanks
How do you initially bring the screen up so to make your settings
Just press the Setup button on the AVR remote.
@TyEichele that was an easy one, thank you for your time. Sometimes the easiest situation gives me a hard time...lol
@@TyEichele hey Ty, would you know if you need to be connected to the internet before the setup button works? I have a 6700H and cannot get the menu to appear on screen. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
@@litzy7892 You shouldn't have to be connected to the internet to access the settings menu. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be working. Have you tried a Google search for the user manual online, and looking through that for your answer? That's what I'd try next if you haven't. Good luck!
Hows it treating ya nowadays? Looking to purchase one soon
No complaints from me! Works as it should with zero issues to date. 👍
Hi Ty
I was wondering if you could help me in this matter.
I am running my Denon x4700h through B&W 603s and though I fully understand where the speaker cables go in the back of the reciever for bi-wire, once I have done this and the cables are in the back of the 603s for bi- wire can you tell me where I need to go to in the reciever to configure it for bi- wire please as I cant seem to find the setting or where to go to.
Thank you
Martin from the UK
Great vid by the way
Hello and thanks for watching. You have a good question - and my answer is to always refer to the owners manual. There are multiple ways of bi-wiring speakers, and various setups, etc. Just look through the owners manual or do a google search for it for your specific AVR until you find the connection you are looking for. For example, here is a bi-wire diagram from a Denon receiver on a 7.1 setup. I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about for sure or not, but just look through the manuals until you get it. 👍
manuals.denon.com/AVRX4700H/NA/EN/DRDZSYjjvfnaio.php
@@TyEichele Hi Ty
Thank you so much for replying as its much appreciated. Thanks for the diagram but I have already looked online and got up the same diagram of which you suggested. That side of it is no problem its when I go in to the menu in the AVR reciever is where I need to configure 5.1 bi -wire setting. I look again in the manual but thanks for your help.
Hi Ty
Just want to say thank you so much for your help. I've set up all the cables up for Bi-wire and went into the AV Reciever to set up. Went to amp assign and went into the 5.1 bi-amp zone 2 setting and all works fine. Again thank you so much. All the best to you.
That's great news! Good job - glad you got it figured out and working like you want! 👍
For Denon 3700, which input is used to connect Nvidia Pro?
i do have nvidea shiled and denon 3700..u can use any first4 inputs
Turn all Denon Dynamic-crap off and enjoy! Never was happy with the Sound of my X4700H so I turned off: Loudness Management (to find unter Surround - Parameters and only shown at Dolby Inputs) and Dynamic EQ. The only thing I use is Dynamic Volume late at night or Cinema EQ to cut off some Highs if needed.
That's exactly how I run mine too. I haven't even tried Dynamic EQ out yet
Really good information and appreciate your insight but the background music is way too loud making your points hard to hear and watching the video difficult.
Thank you for the feedback!
You skipped input assign lol.
Whoops! 🤣
Show off, does it matter what brand your equipment is? Just saying
Absolutely not! I definitely don't have the best of the best - I built my theater with a budget in mind. You can tell by the Behringer nx3000 amp I'm using for my subs! 🤣🤣 (very cheap amp)
Hi my friend. Nice video. I tried to adjust the sound from the Odyssey and my subwoofers play very little, almost not at all, and I have despaired of this amplifier. apart from that, he has put a limit on my plus one volume. and he doesn't let me increase the volume more . I am honestly disappointed with this Denon receiver. with the pioneer, which was 7.1, I never had such problems, the receiver was really awesome!!!
Hmmm.....hard to tell for sure what is going on, too many possibilities. You can turn up the Subwoofer output in the settings menu - but it's best to keep this in the negative numbers to keep the load off of the receiver itself and prevent clipping from occuring. Continue some trial and error with different settings and hopefully you will get it figured out. I'm sure it'll all work great in the end!
@@TyEichele if i work it manually and no Odyssey?? I think this is the best. My subs are. Klipsch 15 inch and svs pb 2000 pro and the results is horrible 😰
