If her denon is like my 2807 there is a separate menu for setting up the sub for 2ch vs multi-channel.

For mine I open the “System Setup Menu” > “Advanced Playback” > “2ch Direct/Stereo.” On this screen I can set the subwoofer to “yes” or “no” and the mains to “large” or “small” with a crossover setting.

Also on my 2807 if you set the subwoofer to yes here it will play in all stereo modes…including “direct” and “pure direct.”
