For now, I am listening to music in "neural" or "5-channel stereo" mode in order to get the subwoofer effects. Any help?
Your Denon may be like my 2807 where the subwoofer preference for 2 channel music is in a different part of the menu from the regular speaker setup. I think mine calls it “Advanced Playback” > “2ch Direct/Stereo” here you chose if you want to use the subwoofer for 2 channel playback. You may have more than one option like “Basic” and “Custom. Main thing is you want to set the subwoofer to “yes” and probably your mains to “small,” but you should also be able to use LFE+Mains if you want the bass to go to both the mains and the subwoofer.
Again if your Denon is like mine this will enable the subwoofer in all 2 channel modes including “Direct” and “Pure Direct.” The only way to remove the subwoofer from 2 channel playback will be to go back to the “Advanced Playback” and set subwoofer to “no.”
