Can you describe you connectivity and what you have connected?Will it change something when listening 2 channel?

One thing you don't want is for the TV to be doing any sort of downmixing to 2-channel stereo itself.Will it change something when listening 2 channel?
If your speakers curve is boosting 4db at the bass, then to get it smoothed out with your subwoofer you should boost it by at least 4db in the trims. Otherwise you will get a bass drop below the crossover.I have 3700 + Polk R700 (pair) setup. Audyssey correction done with app. BBC dip turned off, bass +4dB (similar as in AmirM review of Audyssey). Dynamic EQ turned on, Reference offset 10dB. Towers set as Large. All other things turned off (no sw, center channel etc.). During music playback everything is ok, but when I watch movie I feel lack of bass (especially during heavy battle scenes) - how to change it? Tv connected by optical cable.
Stuff that does not push video and audio, only audio, plug in to AVR.UPDATE: I have connected tv with ARC. Now I have everything connected to tv, and from tv only 1 HDMI cable goes to AVR. Watching concerts on PC feel like highs are really bad and low quality - maybe some windows settings?
But more important - bass from PC or TV (using Smart TV) is a lot quieter than through AirPlay. For comparison I have used Royals by Lorde. Using AirPlay from iPad make room shaking from high quality bass. I am impressed. But when I switch to TV (YouTube, AppleTV - LOTR) there is nothing better than from my previous 2-way 6.5 inch loudspeakers. Difference is huge. What can be a reason?
I just plug everything into the AVR. Never had issues (knock on wood).Stuff that does not push video and audio, only audio, plug in to AVR.

One possible reason for a significant bass difference would be having Dynamic EQ turned on for some sources and not for others. At least on my Denon, it's one of the per-source settings.But more important - bass from PC or TV (using Smart TV) is a lot quieter than through AirPlay.

I have tried. Unfortunately nothing compares to bass from airplay. I can try add few dB to source - but it can affect sound badly?Try using DEQ offset "0" for movies. You have already done the "Harman curve" that Amir did in the review right? Don't forget the effect of changes made to the target curve via the App will only be there if you use the reference curve.
I dont know anything about apple but does the device your using have EQ? It could be adding extra bass?I have tried. Unfortunately nothing compares to bass from airplay. I can try add few dB to source - but it can affect sound badly?
