@amirm If/when you measure and review the 6800, please please please call out this annoying issue so that Denon takes note. As it stands, they're giving non-responses and even nonsensically pointing at Dolby as the problem.

With Denon, “Direct” mode bypasses Audyssey and bass management. So not a solution.

Received this response from Denon engineers: So, there you have it. This is how it is intended to work. There's actually a typo in their response; they should have said DD+ and DD+(Atmos) are both treated as Dolby Digital Plus. In my opinion, this is a major design flaw. I suspect this...

Denon is not.

Most annoying thing is if you watch a lot of streaming content, some of which is in DD, some in DD+, and some in DD+ with Atmos metadata, the 6800 does not automatically distinguish between the last two, so you always have to manually check what the incoming signal codec is, and then manually...

Thought I would ask this in this thread since it's related to using a 7350A sub with GLM software. First question... When folks turn off the 7350A, do you get a loud thump/pop through the sub speaker? I do, whether I physically switch it off or just cut the power (from a power strip). I'm...

I think this is a huge deficiency on Denon’s part. It seems it treats DD+ content and DD+ containing Atmos metadata content as one type of signal for the purpose of remembering which sound mode you used last for that type of signal. But it’s two different signal types! That creates a headache...

Anyone know what this setting is really supposed to do? I was looking for a way to turn off all upmixing. I don't know what this speaker virtualizer setting is. It doesn't seem to appear in surround parameters on the Denon app, no matter what sound mode I'm in.

I called Denon, and the guy was not very helpful. He just said it chooses whatever the source tells it to choose, without really grasping what I was asking him about (i.e., does it remember the last sound mode for a given signal type, or doesn't it). Anyway, I think you're onto something here...

This is very useful to know. Thanks again for investigating this behavior. I will try it this weekend (when I can pull my receiver out) but will also contact Denon and see what they say.

I had the same thought and already tried this. Unfortunately didn't work. I have stored Stereo, DD, DD+, and Atmos as quickselect options. So I can switch to them quickly via either the Denon remote or Denon app. But I don't want to have to constantly check what the incoming signal is...

First of all, THANK YOU very much for testing this. Very helpful to at least know it may not just be my unit functioning differently than other units. If anyone with a 6800 could possible also test this, I would be grateful. I have only had this receiver a short time, but I swear there was a...

Thanks, but I don't believe that't the issue. Auto surround playback is just a sound mode (like any other) where it happens to choose the "best" algorithm for you. So if you're watching a DD+ signal and you select Auto sound mode, it will choose an algorithm for you (not necessarily the one...

That didn’t work. Did a full factory reset. That didn’t work either. It simply will not remember the last used sound mode for a given type of signal: I play a DD signal, set it to DD, then play another type of signal, then play a DD signal again and it uses the DD + DSurr mode. With an...

How do you do a soft reset?

I still cannot seem to get my 6800 to just return to the last used sound mode for each type of signal. Everything is coming through hdmi eARC input. The signals are either stereo, DD 5.1, DD+ 5.1, or Atmos. I only want to use those corresponding sound modes. E.g., for a DD signal I want DD...

If the incoming signal is DD, how does Direct sound mode differ from DD sound mode?

That would be great. But I'm not seeing anything in the manual about preference settings for each type of signal. https://manuals.denon.com/AVRX6800H/NA/EN/index.php

I think the problem is that everything is coming from my TV through e-ARC. So there's only one source. But the content that comes from that source may encoded any number of different ways. Clicking around the home screen of the Roku (run through my TV, then to the Denon via e-ARC) is Stereo...

I can’t really figure out the Sound Mode options. Using the TV Audio input (hdmi eARC connection). Is there a way to have the 6800 automatically switch to plain DD (as opposed to DD + DSurr) when a DD signal is present? Basically, if the signal is stereo, I want it to automatically switch to...
