Good evening everyone. Today I installed the firmware upgrade from Denon, which is said to address sub/bass issues with Audyssey Eq. Since the noise levels in my house today have prevented me from re-running the auto eq after upgrading, I went ahead and began using the 4806 as usual. I noticed that I could only get sound through the manual eq and eq off modes. None of the auto eq settings produced sound.

My thinking is that I have to re-run the auto eq again, which will set the Audyssey Eq. But I would think that I should at least get sound using my old settings.

Has anyone upgraded their 4806?

Last night I had a chance to re-run the auto eq. That took care of everything. The new update does wonders for the high frequencies as they are no longer boosted to obsurd levels.

John, I'm glad that it worked out well for you. Equalization is an area of developing technology that is imperfect(and of course may never be perfect)at this time, although the Audyssey and HK systems are probably the ones most highly regarded at this point.

I also have the 4806. It is Awesome compared to the cheap Sony I had. When I did the firmware upgrade I had the similar problem of having to recalibrate the system.

Back in September there were press releases about a major firmware upgrade for the AVR-4806 to be released in October, I think. Supposedly it was to cost $250. Has anyone heard anything more about his upgrade?
I emailed Denon several times and they never answer me.
