I'll bypass all the other troubleshooting we did, and just get to when we found the solution.

The EP175 is a heavy sleeper. When my wife was holding the remote, the little red light in back never picked up a signal, and we never got subwoofer interaction. When I was holding the remote, it would turn green, and we'd get the heavy bass.

The difference? Volume. She'd put the Denon at -40dbs, and I'd put it between -25 and -30. The EP175 would wake with a large enough signal...is that normal?
