Denon 3808ci set up? - Blu-ray Forum

Fenix88 · 08-02-2008, 02:17 PM

I just got my denon 3808 and had some questions after running the audssey setup. My speakers are as follows Def Technology BP 2004(front Left & right)C/L/R 2002(center) BP2X(surr A L&R & surr back L&R) sub is a Mirage BPS 400. First does the audssey not do your surr backs when doing the test it only did a 5.1 test? Second it found my fronts as small even though specs say they have a freq response of 19-30khz. I did change the speaker config to large for my fronts. It found my center as small also but put the crossover at 80hz. I changed that to 40hz since specs say 30hz-30khz I figured 10 above would be safe. It also found my surr A as having a 80hz crossover again changed to 60hz since cut off says 45hz. I guess my questions is that alright to do with the audssey setup or should I have left it alone?

well, I would say go with what sounds good to you. Thats the best setting.

only observation I would make is for the center channel...being that its mostly dialogue, not too sure if you would want the lowest frequencies being played...here's a pretty good little read on dialogue.

Thats kind of what i thought but since my previous denon didn't have that audssey i wasn't sure. Plus I just upgraded my center to the C/L/R 3000 won't be in til aug 6 best buys magnolia was having 3 yr no interest so i said what the hell.

I have set up a few of the 38 and 4308 recievers this year and trust the settings the audyssey program comes up with, also when you first connect the mic before you go ahead and just start setup, go the the amp assign just below the start and change it to main or 7.1. make sure 2nd zone is turned off and you will be able to mic the rest of your channels. Also I highly recommend placing the mic in as many locations in your room as possible because this really helps in the processing.

under amp assign the 7.1 has a little dot in front so it was checked i don't see where to turn off the zones? so the audssey should of done a 7.1 test?

i'm retarded i didn't arrow down and select 7.1 for the setup begins. thanks this should clear everything up.
