Randy,
The manual gives examples of possible layouts for the measurements. You are correct that you start with the primary seat, the rest of the measurments are taken from the actual listening positions, with my receiver you can place the mic in up to 6 additional positions. I used the primary and 5 additional spots on the couches and recliner that run in a semicircle with one measurment in front of the primary position to form an ellipse.

Lorenzo, my amp is also plugged into my Belkin but unless you have a remote tied into an outlet that stands by like a receiver until it is turned on, how do you have the amp turning on without turning on and off the Belkin.

Thanks, did you pick up the Denon locally at a retail store or purchase online? When I purchased my 2805 years ago, American Electronics had an employee pricing weekend so I got a pretty good deal.

I picked up the Denon new on eBay from a home installer who's clients changed their mind about their setup, he sent the original receipt from Magnolia so I'm still under factory warranty and saved $1500.00 on the purchase It took me about a month searching around until I found a deal I liked.

Do you have any BR 6 / 7 channel disks to test the discrete LPCM?

I’m glad Audysey is working out for you. I was getting lonely being the only one to tout its virtues. I love it. Be real careful where you put the mic though cause your readings can go in the weeds. When I first did it, I took great pains to get the mic at ‘ear’ level. Well that’s below the back of the couch. Then I read somewhere that that is a no-no and the mic should be above the back of the seating area. I re did the measurements and it did make a huge difference. (to the better)

Too bad this unit was discontinued. I do not want the CI version.

Mike, everything I have right now in BR is either 5.1 DTS HD or DD HD. The LPCM does sound incredible in HD.
I did all my measurments a little above ear level on the couches and am really happy with the results. There is an upgrade on the Denon site for the 4806 that I downloaded to make the Audysey sound even better, but I doubt if I'll feel like moving the unit back out to my computer to implement the upgrade, it already sounds great.
Tonight I'll spend some more time listening and tweeking, I may even take the amp out and see how everything sounds just running off the 4806.

Congrats on the 4806 purchase! This is quite an amazing piece of equipment and does take a while to learn all of it's features. I have been using the onboard amps and have not found their limits driving my M80's, I can't imagine what they sound like with external amps! With regards to the Audyssey upgrade, not all 4806's need it, only the earlier models. Mine did and it made a world of difference with my system. Installing the upgrade can be hazardous (to the unit), so if you do choose to go that route, be careful. The 4806 thread at AVS has a lot of information on this subject as well as many others. If you have the patience to wade through it, a lot can be learned. Have fun!!

The Belkin comes with a ac cord that you plug into a switched outlet on the back of your receiver. All this does is allow remote turn on functions for the belkin. For mine I run that cord from the back of the belkin into my receiver switched outlet. I still plug the receiver into an always on power outlet on the belkin and then I plug my amps into outlets on the belkin that I have set to switch on after a 5 second delay. You have to turn on the remote switching on the belkin. I guess of course that you have to get the switched outlet on the Denon working though. Wow that sounds confusing doesn't it?

I had my 3805 set up the exact same way, since the switched outlets on the 4806 aren't getting power I was wondering if there is another workaround or device. But it all may be moot if I decide to get rid of the amp and give myself some more room in my rack.
