It looks like you have a 5.1 set-up. If so, you have the 40's hooked up to the surrounds and not the rear surrounds, right? I only ask because your statement says you have the 40's hooked up to the "rears."

[starkent08]

yes that is correct and buy the way its cool to ur a hockey fan me too

[liquidice]

all you should have to do is plug in the mic, and your set to go just by clicking next, next, next, etc. What did you mean by caution sp?

[starkent08]

lol im not that stupid i did that and i get the caution message after i get the clicks in the left speaker then i get the error message

Is your receiver new or did you buy a used/refurb? Maybe it is your mic?

Where do you have the mic positioned in reference to where the front left speaker is?

[liquidice]

but what exactly does the error message say? So it stops after just the left speaker?....or it makes it's way around the room hitting every speaker first, then give you the error message? What Denon do you have?

[starkent08]

i havent updated my gallery yet i have the 3801 and the error message comes up saying caution mic sp but all my speakers are connected right and the mic is new it didnt satrt till i hooked up my boston fronts

[starkent08]

mic i put on a tripod on the couch at ear level 1st starting position then theres 6 more but it wouldnt detect past the first left front speaker im totally baffled

I think a simple reset might help. Double check your manual, but I think you need to turn the receiver "off", and not in the standby mode, truely off. Then hold down the direct/stereo button, and turn the unit back on. I'm doing this from memory, so double check your manual to make sure that is right. Are you putting the first microphone position in your 'sweet spot'? Let us know how that works.

[starkent08]

k ill try that later on after wk and ill let u know what happens ty

[starkent08]

funny thing is it worked fine when i hooked up my mcs 100 boston satellite set
dint get screwy till i hooked up the new hs 450s and the hs 225 and hs 40s

OK, so after the front left tone is done, it does detect that speaker, but then when it tests the center, it states it is not detected, and then moves on to the right front and it does not detect that one either, and then so on....?

[starkent08]

i dont think it detects any of the speakers the errors right after the left front the frst speaker

[liquidice]

rebooting that microprocessor should hopefully help. Make sure your speakers hooked up in phase though before running Audyssey. Even though you are sure they hooked up right, it is not uncommon to receive a 'phase error' on the speakers. If you get that, you can ignore it.

in phase whats that not to sound stupid

This is making sure that the speaker wire that is hooked to the black terminal and red terminal on your receiver are also hooked up to the black terminal/red terminal on the speaker. If you crossed up the wire hooked up to the black terminal on the receiver to the red terminal on the speaker, this is considered "out of phase."

[starkent08]

yes there all in phase could it be bad speaker wire to the fronts maybe
