I am disappointed - I did not expect in this price range

The fact that the front speakers are properly Bums I know from my old Onkyo TX-SR 577. One could the level of low frequencies not nearly extend the glasses in the cabinet began to dance. That's why I deliberately omitted on a subwoofer, dynamic range and bass were stunning.

So why something new? Soon holding a 3D TV detail, 3D can not process the old Onkyo, finally I also wanted to include also the receiver into the home network, control via tablet and DLNA - Streaming are just awesome.

Said and done! Everything I've read about Denon, I found convincing.

Installation:
Hmmmm, over the Ersteinrichtungsassistenten can not configure the automatic calibration, there was always error messages has been missing since the second stage for the speakers bi-amped for the Fronts. Has lasted for a while until I noticed that the PDF instruction manual and the GUI conceal it. It was only on the individual setup steps to get to the goal.

So calibrated to 8 positions, eventually first audition with different music:
Multichannel Stero: thumping to drönender Bass (I feel it was unclean) lack of heights, somehow matschieger sound, the rear- boxes too dominant, in pure stereo operation similarly poor. Now comes the first joke, sound settings for treble and bass is at Adyssey and Dynamic EQ "on" is not available, that's pathetic, we are here for higher middle class and not in a portable radio!

So Dynamic - EQ off. It is better, in multichannel give Rears dominance on the bass and drive back, after all, now is the tone control available.
From a sound convincing but is miles away

So only remains to adjust the graphic EQ manually.
Then the Dynamic EQ is consistent with the values ​​of the identification process is no longer available, his curve values ​​can not view or copy. But can be reached by the self-set equalizer curve quite a good clean sound, but of a "bass pressure" to stay even with maximum values ​​for miles away, and as I said, I know what my boxes can!

Multichannel cinema can be with Audyssey Dynamic EQ and do not look, tested with Pirats of the Caribian 4 (DTS-HD HR). The bass is so exaggerated booming, that makes really no fun.

Web Browser control: hooking, slow service, often the receiver does not respond to input.

The Android app: Well, a lot of functions it has not, except volume missing any setup - settings.

So what's left?
Disillusionment and frustration.

Sure the device will have a great hardware, but what is the use if one cuts off the whole thing with the software.

I do not understand what think, developers here, a "prescribe" with Audyssey Dynamic EQ and a sound profile that can be corrected in any way. Sure, here is measured according to given parameters, but the hearing impression happens subjectively, and therefore I would like to fine-tune.

And when in manual control, the potential of my boxes can not be accessed, and in the price range 700 EUR, listen to me any understanding on !!!

I buy a Porsche, too, in which the motor at 2000 / min automatically comes into action.

So the Denon goes back, have now ordered Yamaha RX-V 775. The performance and the equipment is similar. YPAO is supposed to be superior to Audyssey. There are there according to instruction
3 different EQ curves calibrated. The highlight: you can choose a curve, copy them to the EQ and fine-tune and the tone controls for treble and bass is always available. That sounds promising. And a fully functional app to remote control. I'm curious !!!! Oh yes, he is also cheaper.
