I would run the auto set up first, then verify / change settings after it does its thing if needed. You can always turn Audyssey off later if you don’t like it. Some folks like it, some don’t. That’s a personal choice only you can make.
You’ll want to spend a fair amount of time with the GUI. It takes time to understand it completely and the set up options are damn near limitless. In typical Denon fashion, the manual sucks.
After you play with some and get used to it, you’ll want to configure the network interface and update the firmware if it doesn’t come loaded with the latest version. There is a great thread at AVS for this with pretty good instructions and tips. If I think about it, I’ll post a link later if someone else doesn’t post it first.
Have fun with your new toy…..
