Thank you for your informative video @Upscaled. I just bought the Denon AVR X2000AV Receiver 7.1 in good used condition and had no idea how to set it all up. My subwoofer wasn't working and now I can see why thanks to your stream. So now I must plug my amp into my tv!
Glad it helped you out!
Thanks for the overview. I have to say that I am glad that I got rid of my Pioneer Elite avrs and speakers and switched to two HomePods. I found all of the settings very confusing, neighbours always complained, wife hated all the speakers; and though, I might not “shake the roof tiles”, it maintains my family’s harmony.
You have to go with what works for you sometimes.
good info. thanks
Thanks, that was helpful
Thanks for the information
Glad it helped!
Great video
Thank you!
Thanks
I found out you have to set it to 8k if you want to take advantage of 120hrz , vrr, and any earc functions. Regardless if it’s a 8k device. Wish denon would have made it more clear with on screen expectation of this. At think of purchase there wasn’t a manual.
You're right. They should have made that clearer or automatic even.
Hey my friend I think you set your receiver wrong cause you are robbing performance off of your Subwoofer by setting your front speaker to large . And the LFE crossover must be set to 120 hertz . All your speaker have to be set to small and 80 hertz cross over even if you are using tower so the subwoofer will be doing his job . This is the standard for THX
Hello there. I have a Denon 760h too, when I press the setup button nothing happens, can you give me an idea on what's happening? Is there another way to open the setup menu? Thanks in advance
How do I see the setup screen you have in the beginning of your video? I can not see anything on my receiver other than setup-use tv. I’m using this receiver for my whole home audio throughout my home. Not using this receiver for any video/tv features. Is there a way to setup without using a tv?
Thank you for the video, I watched it during my setup after lightning took out my Yamaha receiver. I've got everything setup but all my sources are playing only through the Front Speakers, Subwoofer and Center channel. None of the back 4 have audio. It displays that multi Channel in 7.1 is connected but I can't hear anything. I heard everything during the setup with the microphone connected when I was moving it around the room to set that up. Confused why I'm not getting anything from the back 4. Any help is appreciated.
Hi, I have the same AV receiver. One question because my blue ray only sends video and no sound, is it a configuration?
Thanks so much for sharing this knowledge - very helpful.
I am still confused about how to get the subwoofer to work properly. Your talking about LFE seemed to indicate that it was really only going to come on for certain effects who CC, I assume would be for movies and TV? - I may have not understood that correctly.
What I’m trying to figure out is how to get the sub working, particularly for music. Is there a feature somewhere that I’m missing? Any help appreciated. Thanks again!
If the sub is set up correctly, it should come on for music as well. The receiver will send any bass under the crossover for the front speakers to the sub. For example, if you have the crossover said to 80 hz for the front speakers, any bass below 80 hz will go to the sub. However, if you have your front speakers set a full range, then nothing will be sent to the sub. You also have to make sure that the receiver is set up with subwoofer on.
@@Upscaled_Reviews thanks for this!! I’m guessing my front speakers are set to full range. Will get into the settings and check.
You left off the first steps. Plug in only the ARC HDMI, then turn on both TV and AVR. Switch your TV to proper HDMI to see the setup menu.
Good morning, I watched for video and found interesting setting on S760. Could you please show me how to do setup on screen because I don’t see the setup on my Samsung TV screen when I pressed setup button on a remote. Thank you so much.

Helllo, I can't set the center spread on settings, do you know how to do it, thank you
Thanks for your informative video on setup of the AVR-S760H receiver. I have it setup OK, but noticed that while my sub comes on for watching movies, only my front speakers (subwoofer does not come on) come on when I am listening to internet music using the HEOS app. It's there a setting that will allow me to have my sub on while listening to music?
Do you have your front speakers set full range? If you’re listening with the pure or direct modes, it’ll only power your front speakers. Try hitting the music button until you the stereo mode.
This was helpful. I played it at 1.5 speed. OCD, lol. I am seting up tomorrow with my 4k TK800M BenQ projector. What projector are you running ? Is there anything in particular I should "Look outV for regarding setup and my projector. Any hicups you hit that you could warn me about ?
I’m running an Epson 5030ub. No issues to report. Solid receiver. I’m using it upstairs in my family room now and have no issues.
I’m confused I just got this all. So if I want to get some atmos speakers that sit ontop of my front speakers, do I plug those into the “surround” spots on the amp but then pick what they really are under “amp assign” in setup?
I have 4 speakers in the ceiling. 2 a little in front of my listening position and 2 a little behind my sitting position .
Can I use the surround speakers ( little front in ceiling) as Dolby atmos and the one on the the back as the rear speaker ? With denon s 760 ?
Hello sir,after resetting my x2800 denon,I cant find in speakers menu->manual setup the speaker configuration to change front speakers from large to small,how can I fix it;
how do you set up audio if you dont have it hooked to a tv?
Thank you very much for the explanation, but I have a question, can I play different songs in different zones at the same time or only 1 at a time?
I think you can but it’s a pain to figure out how to use it. I typically don’t mess with the zone feature in receivers.
Hello, excellent overview.
My soundmodes never show "DOLBY ATMOS", only some surround options. How can I select Dolby Atmos as a soundmode?
Yo have to play something encoded in Dolby Atmos. Try hitting the display/info button while you’re playing atmos and see what you’re actually getting.
Thankyou... my question is why are the speakers set in the negative dB settings?
That’s just how the scale works with a lot of receivers with 0db being equivalent to 12 o’clock on a volume nob and +15 being maxed out.
I have set up lots of "stuff" but this thing is driving me crazy the speakers are all hooked up and make some nose at some point testing but when I try to set up with Audessey it says NO SPEAKERS ATTACHED but 1 speaker is working when TV on? I can't figure this out?? I've tried going though and check setting but I'm missing something.
Hi there man, I have a couple more questions.
1: Is there a way to run test tones on ALL the speakers, including the subwoofer, WITHOUT having to turn the actual TV on? Because at the moment the only way I can run test tones on the AVR-S760H is by pressing the setup button on the remote controller which then brings up the on-screen graphics on my TV. With my older Pioneer receiver, you could play the sample test tones on ALL speakers, plus the subwoofer, via navigating the menu on the actual LED screen located on the front panel of the AVR itself. Is it possible to do the same thing with the Denon AVR-S760H as well?
2: I don't see a 'dimmer' button on the remote controller for the Denon AVR-S760H, there is a 'dimmer' button on the front panel of the AVR but no designated button on the remote controller. Would using the 'Denon 2016 AVR Remote' app on my Smartphone give me access to a 'dimmer' setting? Also just broadening speaking - Have you tried using the 'Denon 2016 AVR Remote' app? Does it work well for your Denon AVR-S760H?
You can but you need to navigate the menu through the front panel. It’s easier with the TV on. You can dim the front panel in on screen menu as well. To be honest, I haven’t really used the app. I do everything with the included remote.
I plan to eventually upgrade ALL speakers including getting a couple installed on the ceiling to enable Dolby Atmos, but for now if I only want regular old 5.1 sound what Assign mode do I select for normal 5.1?
Just select 5.1 and connect the speakers to front, center and surround.
@@Upscaled_Reviews Thanks dude. I have ordered mine online and am just waiting to receive it. I have your AVR-S760H videos in my favourite list and I've subscribed too .
@@TheThingKing Thank you. I appreciate that!
Is there any degradation in audio quality (Atmos) if I connect my 760 thru earc for audio (everything else is connected to my tv)? Basically my 4k player, xbox, etc goes to my TV then my TV passes audio to the AVR. I have a newer 2020+ Sony tv with 2.1 earc.
If you receiver is receiving the Dolby truehd, atmos, dts master audio etc. signals, then there shouldn’t be an issue. If you can’t get anything above regular Dolby digital or dts, then your tv may be falling back to the base codec. I would typically recommend connecting everything to the receiver and then sending one hdmi up to the tv. The only exception would be for gaming. I have a Samsung tv that won’t go into low latency mode when I have the receiver in the mix but it’ll work when connected straight to the tv.
is that the newest Denon just came out ? wow that setup menu looks like the 1980's
Menu is a low point but it’s an entry level unit.
why did you select top middle for atmos? where are your atmos speakers connected? I have Jamos speakers and my atmos speakers plug right into the top of the front towers.. The way this is set up, it's unclear how to get the atmos speakers working properly. They could make it easier by having a 5.1 and a 7.1 configuration.
Hey my friend I think you have set your AVR the wrong way . The front speaker should be set to small and 80 hertz even if you using tower so the subwoofer will handle the bass from there . Also your LFE crossover is too high it should be set to 120 hertz you don’t want to have voice coming out of your subwoofer . This is THX standard recommendation
Those speakers can be set to large, per the speaker’s instructions and my measurements. They have built subwoofers and amps to handle deep bass. Most speakers should be set to small though. The LFE crossover in the bass section only handles bass effects from the lfe channel or the .1 channel. You will not have voices coming from that channel. It is best practice to set it to 120hz but there is no harm in setting higher since most if not all of the bass content from that channel comes in at under 120hz. The thing you don’t want to do is setting that lower than 120hz since you may be missing out on bass content from that channel.
How do I get to Manual setup?
Hey man, first nice video thanks for that 😊
But I’m having a question! Can in put in the denon AVR-S760H an fire tv stick and see the video for example via an Beamer but having the sound via the denon?
I’m not sure I understand your question.
In Denon S960 when we are streaming through airplay 2 the max vol is 74 not beyond from the mobile from remote we able to go beyond 74 but again when we set vol from iOS device button then again it stuck to 74. Any quick fix for it.
Thanks in advance
I have K20 pro mobile. When I connect Bluetooth, there is like 6-8 seconds lag between audio and video. Need help.
I already setup my demon, but I wanna re setup now, how can I go to the setup menu? Thanks
I usually hit the setup button on the remote. I have a video about the menu: ua-cam.com/video/Y9DO8B1B4_4/v-deo.html
Speaker size does not have to do with actually being large or small, if you set the speaker to LARGE, then they'll be considered full range speakers and all frequencies will attempt to play through them, this will cause distortion and excessive power draw typically. If you set them to small, then they will use a crossover. Example, set front and centers to SMALL, set crossover to 80hz, now anything below 80hz will play through your subwoofer instead of those speakers (there will be a roll off, not a hard stop). This will allow more power to be used for the mids and highs on the speakers, will prevent distortion, prevent over exertion and protect your speakers. It's weird wording but really has nothing to do with speaker size. 98% of the time, if you have a subwoofer, set all speakers to SMALL, and crossover to 80hz. Set subwoofer to LFE (default). You'd only set the speakers to large if they had an actual capable subwoofer, which if you're reading my comment and don't already know how to set it up, they probably don't.
So this supports 5.1.4? I was thinking of getting this with the klipsch reference cinema
It supports either 5.1.2 or 7.1.
I have a question if you can help out. I am new to home audio and I installed 5 in ceiling speakers and have a sub as well. I got this receiver mainly because I got an oled LG 77 that supports HDMI 2.1. Can you help me select the correct options for speakers when I am setting it up? I just want a simple 5.1 setup but it gets confusing when all my speakers are in the ceiling. I don’t want bookshelf speakers or in wall speakers just yet. Just getting into home audio and want sound out of the speakers I installed.
You would just select the 5.1 option in the menu. You have to just ignore that they’re on the ceiling and treat them like normal speakers. Your setup would not be compatible with Atmos though. You could also do 3.1.2 and use your surround speakers as overhead speakers for atmos. You can try both and see which setup you prefer. After all, it’s all about what you enjoy the most.
@@Upscaled_Reviews awesome thank you. I might get some in wall speaker to do a 5.1.2 in the future since I have 7 speaker options with this receiver but I’ll just try 5.1 for now.
Is it possible to connect a Yamaha CDC-775 multi-cd player to this unit? If so how?
You can use a digital optical cable or rca audio cables.
I’m setting mine up. Is it normal for volume to have to be in the 50’s to start hearing conversations in movies? I’m replacing a Yamaha RX-v667 which was about the same. I feel I have to get it in the 80s for movies to sound good. Thanks.
Personally, I like changing the volume scale from absolute to relative volume scale. I go over how to do that in my menu overview video. Depending on your speakers and your room size, you probably need to crank it up to get really loud playback.
Same for me. I was wondering if it was something I was doing wrong. It wasn't making sense to me having to crank it up to 50's just to hear dialog.
Ive got my eye on this machine after mine went up in smoke. Is it better than the 660?
The 760 supports the latest iteration of hdmi (2.1), which supports up to 8k. Otherwise, they’re similar.
For the Bluetooth Transmitter.... could you just add one to add wirelesss speakers? So sad as that is the one thing I'm trying to figure out with the 760H
You probably could but I haven’t tried that.
I have an Onkyo TX-SR393 and I intend to buy this DENON AVR-S760H. In terms of sound quality would DENON be better?
Probably would be very similar.
Im trying to configure my avr-760 but it is not giving me an option for top rear. Why is that?
You can only select rear surrounds if you’re not using atmos speakers.
@@Upscaled_Reviews i am using surrounds but not rear surrounds. I figured it out. This receiver only lets you select top front or top center. No top rear for some reason. Thanks for the response!
How do i get notified when you respond?
The background of ALL our movies are so extremely loud since adding our Denon and we can barely hear the voices what did we do wrong? HELP
Did you run the auto calibration with the included microphone?
Can I add a 5 channel power amp in here?
You can’t since it doesn’t have pre-outs.
HELP! I just bought this Denon receiver. It seems very complicated. I am not an autophile. I have a 5 channel setup. I guess my question is, how do I manually increase the sound on my 2 back speakers? I have many more questions but that will be for another time. Thank you!
See starting at 7:58 in this video the speaker configuration in the menu.
@@Upscaled_Reviews Thank you! I just finished calibrating my speakers. I have 1 problem, when I have my TV set to regular antenna all the speakers work fine, however, when I switch to cable/sat the back speakers don’t work! What am I doing wrong?
@@TheRobbs The back speakers don't always make sound. They turn on when there is a surround effect or to create ambiance. It's possible you have the regular antenna set as all channel stereo which would make all the speakers sound the same. That isn't real surround sound. You can change the surround sound type by hitting the green movie button on the remote.
@@Upscaled_Reviews Got it! Thank you. I greatly appreciate your help. You have a new subscriber.
I've watched 2 videos. Please stop using that background music clip. You do not need it takes away form the video.
I’m still figuring out what works. You’re the second comment in about a week or so on the music. I already cut out the most of the music from the last video I posted. Thanks for the feedback.
I like it
It's fine music, it's just too loud. Keep it lower in the mix and you'll be fine.
add just the Audio from your favorite porn instead
Does it upscale video?
It sure can.
Can I use top middle cealing speakers for atmos and cealing speakers behind me as back surround ?
You can do it but it may be harder to distinguish sounds coming from the Atmos and back surround speakers. I have a setup just like that and it works pretty good.
So , should I hook up the middle cealing speaker cable into the the back surround and the back cealing speakers to surround output ?
@@peeyushyadav1680 I understand now. Hook the top middle to the back surrounds speaker terminal (for atmos) and the the speakers you want to use as surrounds into the surround speaker terminals.
Thank you so much
I have the Denon S760H and following instructions to display Setup - I first push MAIN at top of Remote and then Setup - NOTHING happens - over and over......PLEASE Help if possible? TKS michael
Try plugging in the HDMI cable from the AVR to a different slot on the TV, i.e. HDMI 2. And if the menu still doesn't show, manually switch the source on the TV to the HDMI source that's connected to the AVR i.e. HDMI 2.
How do I get more bass?
You can raise the level on the subwoofer in the main menu.
How can I get audio out signal to an amplifier. Thank you
This receiver doesn’t have pre-out for connecting an amplifier. Do you mean for a zone 2 or all the channels?
@@Upscaled_Reviews just to get a output signal (heos or other signal) to run to amp. I could use a zone 2 output but I don't see zone 2 outputs on back of the amp.
@@cgl2309 Unfortunately it just doesn't have pre-outs.
@@Upscaled_Reviews thank you for the information Sir!
I'm using a denon avr-1700h and speaker setup is jamo s803 5.1 setup...My TV is lg UHD 70 inch and I'm using a cable box connection toooo...
I have connected the cable box connection directly to the HDMI 1 in TV and connected the receiver to the HDMI arc in TV....here is my concern whenever I'm playing a videos in UA-cam on tv even though I changed the audio out to hdmi arc in TV the receiver is not giving the sound...but if I unplugged the cablebox HDMI cable from the TV the receiver giving the sound...I don't know why it is like that the receiver is not giving the sound when the cable box HDMI pin is connected to the TV....plz clear my doubts
I recommend routing all hdmi signals into the receiver and then to the tv.
@@Upscaled_Reviews i tried that way it works perfectly well and that's OK for me but its difficult for my mom to switch On all the devices then changing inputs...is there any way to get sounds like I asked before...without unplugging the cablebox HDMI from TV...
@@Upscaled_Reviews another problem when Im facing when using the receiver like what you recommend in the comment is that im getting cable box audio through receiver but whenever I'm switching off the cablebox and changing TV audio in the receiver ..display in the receiver shows TV audio but the audio is not coming...sound is only coming if I unplugged the HDMI cable which I inserted in the receiver cablesat slot comes from cable box
@@suhailakthar5575 I would recommend getting a universal remote with a touchscreen. You can set it up to switch the inputs automatically. I use Logitech Harmony remotes but they stopped making them and not they're really expensive in the secondary market. This one looks good. amzn.to/3hzRg5G

Accidentally Reset Denon. Now my Audyssey won't recognize my klipsch rear surround speakers
They worked upon initial set up. Now driving me crazy trying to re-engage the rear speakers
Anyone know if it has in ceiling mode?
Do you mean for up firing speakers? If so, it does.
@@Upscaled_Reviews I only have ceiling speakers
You mean all of your speakers are in ceiling speakers?

@@patrickpicansoiv9938 I have never had any issues seeing the setup screen. I don't know what the problem could be.
Wow 😳! You just lost me 🥺
I'm trying to get my subwoofer to work
It’s less complicated than it looks.
Is there any app to control the receiver? If so, can you also control which channels you want to mute or listen?
I think there is a Denon app you can download. I don’t use it TBH. To you mean like going from 7.1 to 5.1?
I just want to connect some speakers to the receiver and I want to know if I would be able to use the different channels to listen to some of them only and mute some of them also.
@@jorgenrique77 you can probably switch to stereo which would be the front speakers only.
have you ever thought of learning what the menu does before you make a video about it? the amp assign you never once said what it was just " i have selected top middle" how about saying what the thing do , not just what you have yours set at.
Seems like Denon is still using the same old school menu in 2022 like they did my 10 year old Denon AVR. Very disappointing.
I can’t argue with that. It does what it needs to do though.
> doesn’t know how to set up AVR
> makes video anyway
> big ups
What are you referring to?
Seriously, why don’t you take the 5 hours or so to make a video and see how good it is.
