I am going to remove the ground loop screw and rerun Audyssey tomorrow, just one question, where is the screw located? It mentions it in the manual but it doesn't show where it is.

Thanks

Look at "step 8" on the following online manual (right next to the balanced line in).

Thanks, I looked over the manual twice and saw "step 8" but I failed to notice it highlighted on the back of the subwoofer diagram. Must be the man-manual thing in me LOL. Must brush up on those skills.

Hi guys, I must have screwed something up after running Audyssey yesterday. The results were very poor(probrably due to improper mic placement. I scrapped the results that Audysses produced and attempted to re-run today. When I plugged the mic into the input on my 3808 Audyssey did not automatically start. After trying to run Audyssey through set up it says no mic or speaker. I must have changed a setting in my reciever that is not allowing me to run Audyssey but I can't figure out what it is. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Even with the sub that high, there is enough trim in the 3808 to compensate with the sub at 50%. I believe the 3808 will go to a -30 db with the LFE channel.


After digging around a bit, I'm fairly sure that on my 3808, I only have the flexibility to go down to -12 dB. Just in case anyone else is in this situation and fruitlessly searching for how to get down to -30 dB, you're not alone. \:\)

Note that I haven't updated firmware in awhile, so that could be my problem.

I've never upgraded the firmware on my 3808. If I have the same problems after running Audyssey again tomorrow (subpar LFE results), do you think a firmware update might rectify my problem? If I checked what firmware version is currently installed, is there anywhere online that I can find out how dated it is, or would that require a phone call to Denon?

I can only go down to -12 dB also Jason.

Ok, I found that I had selected AUX1 and after selecting MIC in the menu I was able to run Audyssey. I am very happy with the results and my Axiom system sounds amazing now! Not that they didn't sound good before calibration, it all just blends so well now. The only thing that looks strange is the 23.1ft distance that Audyssey calculated my sub to. The sub is only 12ft from the reciever and 6ft from the main listening position. It is firing into the rear right corner so maybe boundary effect is playing a roll in Audyssey calculations? It also set the sub channel level to -12dB. My crosover settings are center channel 60Hz, suround A(QS8) 120Hz and nothing listed for fronts. In the menu it says advanced for fronts. M60's were set to large and VP150 and QS8's were set to small. Please let me know if these settings look ok. I apologise for jumping right in on this thread I didn't want to start 50,000 different threads with question all over the place. I know I'll have many more questions to ask. Thanks for all the help.

The settings look somewhat normal. The settings will be slightly different from room to room. The sub distance should be set about twice the actual distance to account for the DSP lag time. The -12 is most likely due to the sub gain being a little too hot for Audyssey's liking, you can bump that -12 up to what ever sounds good or just leave it. I would start to play with the speaker size settings and see if you like the fronts set to small, I am willing to bet they are set at a crossover of 40hz, I would bump that up to 60 and see if it makes any difference for the better or worse.

Or you can just leave it all 'as is', since it sounds good to you, that is the important part.

After skimming the article I can find at least a few things I did wrong. I will try to re-run audessey following the suggested procedures and see what I think... may be a week or two before I get a chance to do that though.

If I like the results I may buy the $100 upgrade and re-run it.
