I think we can stop the review loop if the next couple of tests show the same thing they get.
You have to remember that the device only gets very hot if you play very loud multichannel audio. You won't be listening to Dolby Atmos Movies on reference level 24/7.I am not worried about failures, but longevity, as I want a >$1,000 AVR to last for at least 2 HDMI version changes.
I didn't do that and it still ran too warm for my comfort.You have to remember that the device only gets very hot if you play very loud multichannel audio.
I just purchased an AC Infinity AIRCOM S7 and it seems to work really well; would this be a recommended solve for heat issues?
Para aquellos que están al tanto de las cosas, Amir debería tener mi x8500 hoy. No estoy seguro de en qué orden vendrán las reseñas ... pero tenemos un x3700, x6700 y x8500 en la lista, creo. Una vez que todo esto esté hecho, tendremos una excelente idea sobre el rendimiento de la línea Denon actual. Será interesante ver si el rendimiento supera el x3600, o si solo obtiene más canales (en el caso del x6700 / x8500), un poco más de potencia, más funciones. Y agreguen el JBL SDP-55, que creo que también está por llegar.
And I am very anxious to read Amir's report on the Denon AVR-X6700H (as you are with the 3700). I think it's great that Amir is maintaining contacts with Sound United/Denon/Marantz; their alliance (albeit informal) tends to lend credibility and confidence regarding this forum's findings and reviews for newbies, outsiders, and critics [of this forum] -- and, possibly, has a bit of a chance in effecting some positive changes to the software, future design, and performance of some of these units in which we have interest. I'm trying to be patient, as well, to let these processes take their course. But, I do think (for me, at least) these times are, due to Amir's and all other contributors' postings to this forum, somewhat exciting and hopeful for this AV industry in "The Time of Covid" -- it's keeping me an avid reader, at least.I’m so anxious to read your 3700 report that I really wish you’d just leave Denon out of the loop.

From what I have heard, overheating has been a perennial problem for Denon units and is one of the main reasons for warranty returns. It would be bewildering if they haven't solved the problem at this point. And yes, having to purchase 3rd party cooling solutions is a ludicrous state of affairs. Design the freaking units with adequate cooling in the first place!
I have made a few measurements on the 6700 and sent them to Japan before I continue with the rest. So I will probably switch to testing the 3700 unless an answer comes back quick on that. The throughput is extremely slow now on Denon products due to this "review" loop.
Not unfortunately.This is the first made in Japan Denon tested, so there may be some undue expectation. Can you just say the initial results are in the ball park or not?
Sigh! There's always next year I guess.Not unfortunately.

I've been having trouble with mine too. I'm not getting much out of my sub. I tried enabling pre-amp mode and it didn't help.Still having all kinds of trouble with mine only way I can get it to sound good is in preamp mode
Are you able to take post Audyssey measurements in REW To verify what is going on? Maybe a center plus sub using moving microphone RTA measurement or an average of 4 -5 measurements of you listening position? It’s the only way I have found when something isn’t right.I've been having trouble with mine too. I'm not getting much out of my sub. I tried enabling pre-amp mode and it didn't help.
Audessey set its level to -5dB, to get a reasonable response from it I've had to change it to 0dB, add +5dB to the Audessey curve and enable Dynamic EQ.
I'm also getting mains hum from the front left speaker.
