ok, I will just do a hard reset and completely set everything up from scratch (allthough I already now what crossovers, channel levels, ect I want so it shouldn't take too much time.)
I am out of town until friday So I will do it over the weekend.
I guess the manual tells you how to do a hard reset?
Also, will I have to re-install the firmware after doing a complete reset?
Thanks,
David microprocessor reset (master power off, hold down both the DSP and the Standard button, master power on, wait for three flashes, release buttons) standard reset (master power off, hold down both the 'up arrow' button and the 'down arrow' button, master power on, wait for the flashing, release buttons).

Denon retains your firmware even after a hard reset. At least my 3806 does.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

That makes sense. If it works anything like a computer, the firmware is stored in NVRAM (NV = non-volatile, meaning it don't go nowhere unless you specifically tell it to). If a hard reset were to wipe it, then the unit would also need to have some mechanism of restoring the original firmware, which it would need to have backed up somewhere.

Glad to see someone can think things through logically here!

just got home and checked the settings and it had reverted back to the stupid old settings again. I am tired of that crap so I just did a hard reset and set up everything by hand. No more stupid audessey EQ!
Hopefully this will take away my denon's ability to decide how I should be listening to my music/movies.

You may still have the same problem if you have “Default” selected. There’s several places where there is a default option to check. If I recall, you can select the default function and it will bring up a yes/no box. (Going off my aging and failing memory here)
Go to – [Manual Set Up > Speaker Set Up]
Check under the channel level and distance folders and make sure Default is not selected.
Go to – [HDMI > Audio > Manual EQ]
Make sure that Default is not selected.
Go to – [Parameter > Audio > Surround Parameters]
Make sure that Default is not selected.
