I'm helping a friend set up an Epic 60 500, Denon 3805, and 3910 tomorrow. Any advice? He says the bass is too weak... I'm pretty sure it's a config thing, but if anyone has any tips on the Denons, that would be great.

Tell him you need to take the 500 home with you to make sure it's working properly.
Whenever he calls you about it, tell him you're still running tests. You could probably milk this for a few months or more.

OK, that does it. Next time you have to help me clean up the spilled drink.

Stay away from the denon EQ in the auto setup. It's usually good for distance and speaker levels but in my experience the EQ did nothing for the sound quality.

I'm pretty sure that's where he went wrong (the EQ). I'm taking my sound meter and calibration disc with me. Then I'll probably have some quality time with the manual--arg--watch for posts around 3 PM PST!

Gee, now i remember why I didn't buy a Denon:

Further info: I'm going to be setting it up with DenonLINK. He told me that Denon has been certified for SACD and there's a patch for the 3910. Will DenonLINK work with DVD-V and CDs, or will those have to be a regular connection?

Since that has a whole lot to do with the performance.
Granted, the feature list layout sucks. Yet it sure beats the "HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT PROPRIATERY VZX FEATURE ENABLED SURROUND 5.1 DOLBY DTX ROFLCOPTER TROUT" marketing you find on other sites.

Yeah Ken, the D-link also handles the CD and DVD-V sound. Doubt that auto-equalization(if he used it)had anything to do with the bass he heard, since it doesn't affect the sub. The auto-level calibration(if he used it)may have set the the sub level lower than he liked, so it can be set hotter to please him, but it's likely to be at least as accurate as a manual calibration with a meter.
