Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater denon 3808 keeps reverting to old settings

Can anyone help me out... for some reason my denon keeps reverting to previous settings.

for example, When I first set up the denon I ran the subwoofer higher and the SW level was set to -10db on the receiver.

I have changed this so that it needs to be -2.5 db on the receiver now...

However, half the time I check it is backl at -10db, no matter how many times I change it back.

Any ideas?

You forgot to do the secret handshake after making the changes? Or maybe it was the decoder ring...

I did a quick search and found out on the following web page that one of the fixes after updating the firmware is the "Configuration settings should be retained after update". Stated under Fixed/Improved #5.

I'll have to check but I think I have the most up to date firmware.

Wheelz, I think that is referring to the fact that firmware updates in the beginning would reset all of your settings, but now they don't.

Maybe I will just have to do a hard reset and re-calibrate everything manually without audessey.

I just don't want to have to rename all of my inputs, adjust channel levels, distances, crossovers, speaker sizes, ect all over again... I think a complete reset sets everything back to default.

Terzaghi, can't you save all of your settings to a file on your computer via the web access and then load them back up after a hard reset? That should transfer at least some of them back if you end up trying a full reset.

good point, forgot about that feature... I just have to remember how to do that

hopefully I can transfer everything EXCEPT the audessey settings... I think that is the problem- the denon keeps wanting to revert to the audessey calibration even though manual adjustment have been made and audessey EQ is turned OFF.

You have one of the options selected that is causing this. It's one of those that I know is there, but hard to find when you want to find it. I'll try looking later...

I can't remember which it is either. It's a menu option that applies Audyssey to every input.


Wow, that was completely useless of me.

DO the hard reset and everything else without ever running Audyssey, I did and I like the results much better.

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
