  1. Yeah just did the auto calibration.
  2. Thanks again. Yeah i'm borrowing an atmos movie from a friend tonight and will crank it up I'm absolutely shocked by the detail and power of these speakers. It's like watching movies for the first time literally.
  3. Thanks wvu. I just increased the level for the speakers and the volume is now high enough at 40. Now i just need to get the atmos working I don't think you should do that. It will not allow the speakers to play loud without distortion. The problem isn't you, it's these new AVR's, they are very different from the old two-channel receivers in the way they display the numbers for the volume. In the old days the receiver was loud if you turned it up to 1/3rd, and if you used even 1/2 to 3/4 volume it would be so loud it would drive you out of the room, all with two speakers. Now we have 5.1, 7.1 etc. And the volume display isn't absolute, the volume is relative to REFERENCE. That's because of the way movie sound is recorded, and because of the magic of the room correction software. My Onkyo uses Audyssey. When you use the calibration software it balances the speakers relative to reference, which on my AVR is 82, meaning 82 db. That means 60 db is quiet, 90 db is loud. If you really want your system to sound loud at 40, I suggest you put the speakers back to their default levels, then go into the Denon settings and change the way the Denon displays volume, changing from relative to absolute volume. Then when you turn the volume up a quarter, it will blast you out of the room with sound! I know it feels strange having to turn the sound up to 75 as a starting point, but I assure you it's normal and that is the way it was designed. It takes a little bit of time to get used to it, then it becomes the new normal. Thanks wvu. I'll restore them back to the original audyssey settings
  4. Thanks buddy. Yeah i had all the correct settings. I was trying to play the The Martian 4k uhd bluray. I thought it was mixed in dolby atmos. It seems that only the version released in theatres is in dolby atmos and not the 4k bluray. Stupid me. I'm downloading the atmos demo disc and will give it a try.
  5. This is normal with these newer AVR's. If you turn the volume up to 50 you will barely hear anything from them. My Onkyo is the same way and 72 is my average listening volume, but if they get up to reference sound levels , that is 82 on the Onkyo, and that is loud for me. Think of 75 on your Denon as the normal starting point, then turn it up or down from there. Thanks wvu. I just increased the level for the speakers and the volume is now high enough at 40. Now i just need to get the atmos working
  6. Guys, can't seem to get the receiver to play atmos. I've set the digital output on the bluray player to bitstream. Any help?
  7. Now i just have a couple of quick questions. Bear with me. First off, my samsung 4k bluray player won't display video just audio although my ps4, cable are working fine. Second, is it normal for the speakers to sound a bit low? I have to crank the volume up to 75% so it could be loud Third, i ran the audyssey auto setup and i got 40hz for the main speakers. The SW settings are LFE and the LPF for LFE is 120hz Should i change the main speakers to small? And change the crossover of them to 80hz and the LPF for LFE to 80hz?
  8. Thank u wvu. I sorted it out. I needed a power converter cuz the voltage here is different than the US
  9. Hey guys it's me again. I just received my Denon AVR-x6200w receiver after months of waiting. Now, the receiver won't power up at all. I tried disconnecting all the cables and just left the power but still no sign of life.
  10. Hahahhahah it does. But it's titled and safely secured
  11. Definitely. Got 2 4k blu-ray movies
  12. Final Setup. Still waiting for the receiver though. What do you guys think?
  13. Thank you dtel yeah i'll need some help doing the calibration but i'm sure with everyone's knowledge here, i'll get the best performance
  14. Thank you youthman. Time to crank them devil trumpets
