I just bought the Denon X3800H and set it up last weekend. Listen to TechnoDad, he knows what he's talking about here: this new AVR from Denon totally ROCKS!!! (No, I don't work for Denon; I'm merely a happy customer). I own a Reavon X100 blu-ray player, which before I was outputting the video HDMI directly to my LG OLED TV. But now I am sending the audio/video signal through the Denon X3800H, and the video upscaling of this AVR is AMAZING! A noticeable picture-quality improvement, especially with newer UHD-4K movie disks. The sound quality is full and dynamic through my Klipsch 7.2 home theater speaker setup. For about $1,700, now you're playing with the big boys!

Started my home theater journey with Denon X4700h in 21'. Jumped straight to an Anthem 70 8K processor. Thanks to you, Chana. I now have a 9.2.6 full separates in my living room. Your videos have helped me tremendously.

@jclyon41 Год назад

Recently got this as well, I'm loving it so far and it's been a bigger upgrade than I thought it would be coming from the Yamaha 3060. My only recurring issue is that the right rear surround fails somewhere in the 4-6 position of Audyssey. It works fine every other time and during playback, just when trying to do Audyssey on those specific positions.

@MrNorcal81 Год назад

Good news! After my refund come through on X3800 number one, I decided to take a shot at another one (from Best Buy with a return period through Jan. 14, 2023). Once again I had some Preset issues, not quite the same as on the first unit, but still, pretty bizarre. Ah, but this past week, Denon put out a firmware update for the X3800 and it appears to have solved the Presets issues. Since Denon never publishes a lot of specifics about what their updates actually fix/improve, they might not even know that the update fixed this problem, but either way. I'm a happy camper now.

Hi, I have a pioneer 9.2channel, and after watching your video on true Dolby Atmos, I changed my sound round back speakers from ether side of my couch, to behind the , lieing both speakers on their backs. Then put on two 4k dvds to try out the sound and boy what a difference. I am now looking at the hz because I am using large speaks for a 7.1.2 system.

@floz9718 Год назад

Nice overview Channa. Finally a manufacturer that includes a proprietary output fo tactile transducers! It's just too bad that it's not really all that functional without more settings. The minimum that you need to properly integrate transducers is a delay setting and a proper crossover section, CX of 40Hz is too high - especially if you can't set a delay to properly sync the transducers up with the subwoofers. An EQ would be nice as well if you need to tame certain frequencies (your furniture also has (room) modes!). Still, one problem seems to be solved here: You probably don't want your transducers to run when you are listening to music so I have to switch the amp that powers the transducers on and off manually. I guess (hope) that these Denon only send the LFE signal to the transducers even if you have your mains set to small with a crossover. Also no workarounds are needed anymore to do the automatic Audyssey calibrattion. I hope Sound united adds more funtionality to the transducer out so we who use them don't need any exertanl DSP anymore to equalize them... Having all handled in one device (the AVR) is better/more convenient than using an external DSP since you can turn them on or off or adjust them depending on mood/contet. They could even consider providing an option to use one of the integrated amps to even power a transducer/shaker. The amps of an AVR are not really suited for a transduer though since an amp for that application has to provide huge amounts of power and need a FR way below 20Hz but still, would be nice to have that option for people who just want to try a transducer out and see if they like it. Also I would have liked you to dive deeper into the 4 subwoofer outputs since this is a big deal! Are they truly independant? Does Audyssey try to measure them automatically or do you have to set everything up manually if you use more than 2 subs? You should tweal the subs as much as possible by hand (with assistance of a mic) anyways but i find that the automatic phase adjustements of Audyssey (I currently have a 4400h) still help me with the time alignement... Nevertheless; great review Channa keep em coming ;)

@laurencepardi6577 Год назад

Great video TD. I, like many others who suffer from upgrade-itis, would like to go from a 5.1.2 set up to a 5.1.6 set up and take advantage of Auro 3d. My .2 is a pair of middle ceiling/top speakers that have tweeters angled down towards the MLP which is 4 feet back from the middle and 3 feet from the back wall. My surrounds are in the back corners. From your video it looks like the two options are 1) install 2 front heights and 2 rear/surround heights and and follow the first .6 set up that you presented making use of my middle top speakers, or 2) install 3 front heights (including center) and 2 rear/surrround heights, along with the VOG speaker. This 2nd option would not make use of the existing middle top speakers. If I do an upgrade for purposes of Auro 3d, I want to get it mostly right. I'm leaning to the first option (making use of the middle top speaker) but would it be compromising Auro 3d too much? Yours and others thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. (Waiting for the 4800 and going to a 13 speaker set up is not a consideration.)

@anttitauriainen3367 Год назад

I really enjoy your going into detail videos! One thing that came to my mind. Now if we forget your comment about single surround back not panning properly. Wouldn't it be great if there was 11.1 setting with 6 bed layer speaker using single surround back and 5 height channels including center height. Cause in the end top surround is not that important. But you'd get excellent center height and something back in your bed layer without the need to upgrade to x67(8)00h to get them in same configuration.

@TechnoDad Год назад

Great points! It's really up to Denon/Marantz to put in that kind of functionality. Some people without room for surround back could have room for front wide but Denon won't let you have front wides until you step up to the X6700/X6800. So it's really up to them.

@user-li2bc3fb1g Год назад

Very informative! what are your thoughts on using the AVR as a preamp only (setting the unit to disconnect the internal amps) and running external amplification with Emotiva or Monolith amps? Also, would it be ok to use the AVR's amps just for the height speakers or would that still introduce enough of the lackluster high frequencies to mess up the entire mix?

@onlyzach1 Год назад

Great video! I'm really interested in getting this for a possible 5.1.4 with maybe a Voice of God speaker in there too. That can be done right? Have a 5.1.2 in ceiling speakers now, looking to add at least 2 if not 3 more (depending if the installer can do it easily).

@barryplessala6185 Год назад

Great video brother. I just upgraded to the 3800 from the 3600 and I was wondering. If I leave the video setting on auto is the denon adding any processing to the picture? I really would rather my A90J handle all the processing. Should I set it to bypass? Thanks keep on keepin on brother

Great Video. I'm going to be buying one of these to start my living room Atmos project in my new home. I do have a question for you for my 5.2.2 setup. I have 4 in-ceiling speakers and I plan to use the top 2 back speakers as my rear speakers and the other 2 speakers as Top middle. Do I plug the rear back speakers in the ceiling into the rear height, surround back, or are they just considered normal rear speakers? No way in hell the Mrs will approve 2 ear level speakers in this big open floor plan of a living room so I was just wondering since I hardly see anyone make a video on a setup like that. Appreciate your content.

@Xupgrade1 Год назад

Hey TD great video as always! I have an issue with the Denon AVR-X3700H. It has to do with the HDMI switching and CEC issues that many have complained about here on RU-vid. It was just purchased this past July 2022. Denon CS has not been much help. I have a 2022 LG C2 OLED, using Audio Quest cinnamon Hdmi cables, other cables work fine as well. I have my brand new PS5 connected to the 8K hdmi in. The lag when switching input, when it actually and finally switches is brutal. I’ll get no signal for a minute or more most times, other times it will switch inputs then switch back to another input, totally annoying. I have done a lot of testing with my older Denon amp, Yamaha amp, the PS5 connected directly to the TV and so on. Hdmi lag issue and CEC issue goes away. The PS5 connected directly to the TV using eARC for audio back to amp works great when the Denon is not doing the video. Have you tested or heard of anyone else having issues with CEC and hdmi switching with this and other Denon models? Is there a hardware upgrade they will do to fix this issue? Have you tested a PS5 with this 3800 with a 2022 LG TV? Is there lag when switching inputs or issues with CEC like there is with other Denon models? I would be happy to post a video of the CEC issues and serious lag when switching to the PS5 input on 8k port. It is bad. Simply does not work properly. Also, the lag and CEC issues exist no matter if my Apple TV is connected to the 8k or ps5 is in other hdmi inputs. I have seen many say just turn CEC off. Well, that is not a real fix. For obvious reasons. I am working towards getting away from my harmony remotes as they are now discontinued. Fine if CEC has issues from time to time, but for this amp to have these types of issues at this price point with Denon not taking seriously is frustrating. Hopefully then can figure out a firmware update for this but to me seems hardware related, especially since the models with serial numbers under 70k require an external device fix. Crazy. Whatever their fix was for models above 70k did not fix the issue and I suspect it was a hardware fix since the others require a separate piece of hardware. Anyone else here have these hdmi and CEC issues? I know others have posted about it, but I would like to see some of you Denon guys discuss this so Denon can figure out what the heck is going on and fix it. Not a cheap AVR by any means. Would like to know if anyone has the PS5 connected to a 3700 or the 3800 with a 2022 LG C2 OLED and if you have issues or not.😊

As you recommended in the video to set it up as heights to get Auro 3D

@sjsphotog Год назад

if they are downfiring speakers like the SVS Prime Elevation style then they should be set to Heights not Tops. Heights are ON WALL and Tops are In-Celing style

Hello Chana, nice video!! I believe the new avr uses all 4 high channel although you configure surround high. I believe in a Germany channel the denon man said it.

Hi Peter! That's great to hear, I'll have to try it out for myself. Thank you

Hi TechnoDad what’s Sonys 360 reality like on this system.

Hi there. So I just purchased this exact model a few days ago and just did the Audyssey set up. My problem now is that when I play a game on my PS5 (plugged into my tv directly), the surround back L&R don’t seem to be turned on(?). My set up is 7.2.4, with the height speakers being bundled with my speakers. That’s considered to be a 11.1 or a 11.2(?) setup correct? But when I go into my speaker layout (which the menu is completely different from yours in the video. They must have updated it recently; hence my further confusion), it says 9.1. How to activate 11.1 or 11.2 or whatever it is (I’m fairly new to all of this), and what is pre-out? I’ve tried Googling it and I get even more confused. Do I need to buy an amp? There is no sound coming out of my 2 rear speakers when I’m playing a game, just my 2 fronts with heights, and my surround back L&R with heights, my centre and my 1 sub. My other sub is in Standby mode, whatever that means. Any help with a step-by-step explanation would be much appreciated. Also my 2nd sub has speakers in/out at the back; can I plug in my 2 fronts to that as my pre-out? I don’t even know what I’m saying or asking lol. But I do need some guidance. Thanks.

Good job, Techno Dad! I'm seriously considering buying this one. Would it be the best match for my Monitor Audio bronze 6th gen 5.1.2 HCP, in a 140 feet room? Both music and video sound quality wise. Possible upgrade to 5.2.4 over a year or two.

Thanks. I'm considering "upgrading" my X6400H to the new X4800H, but only after Dirac bass control is available as an upgrade option for the X4800H. Can you get Auro 3D with 4 tops + Atmos with 4 tops with all 5.2.4 configuration? because with the X6400H, some setups like tops on ceiling, will disable Auro 3D back top channels (you even made a video about this for the X4400H. Thanks

Dirac is coming in March 2023. But they said bass control was looking to be 2024 but still not guaranteed as of yet. SRC hasn't even been fully confirmed for the A1V either

Hi CD. I Need HELLLP! I have 4 Yamaha hs8s studio monitors and 1x Polk Audio Surroundbar50 passive soundbar. The soundbar has LCR, LRear surround, and RRear surround. Finally, I have 2 Kef L&R passive heights and 2x SVS micro 3000 subs. My question is, how can I setup an Atmos 5.2.2 surround with these speakers when the Yamahas have XLR or TRS connects with built in amps, while the soundbar and heights are passive with RCA/unbalanced connects? I've considered the Denon 3700H or the Emotiva BasX MC1 13.2 Channel Cinema Processor. I also have a MINIDSP SHD digital sound processor but I have no idea how to use it. My brother runs a studio. He upgraded and sold me the Yamahas and MINIDSP. Any ideas?

@MrNorcal81 Год назад

I had to return my X3800. It had major problems with the two presets. I would use Audyssey with a speaker setup on one Preset but when I used a different speaker setup on the other preset and ran Audyssey that preset would change to the setup from the first Preset. When you changed Presets there was no clicking because the Amp settings were identical. When the second run did get the amp settings right, Audyssey was grayed out. Even when I saved a good setup to a flash drive and loaded it onto its Preset, it literally wiped the other Preset out, even after a factory reset. I've been a longtime Denon/Audyssey user and I've never seen anything like this. I also tried using the MutiEQ app (the Android version is very buggy) and when it got to the initial subwoofer test it just died. I had a very long conversation with a Denon rep and he said that, so far, they had not heard of the Preset problem and had no answers. He also sheepishly used the magic word "beta". With no solution in sight, I had no choice but to return the AVR. Maybe my unit was defective. At least I hope so but if anyone out there has used the two Presets and had no issues, I'd like to hear about it.

@TechnoDad Год назад

Here's something that just happened. I had to remove the AVR11 because there were some HDMI issues and the AVR wasn't seeing a signal from the DirecTV box. I put the Marantz back in and no problems. It's something to do with these higher-end AVR companies. Small, little quirks. I have no idea what was happening, but I needed to swap AVRs before the Sunday Night Football game started. Otherwise, wifey was not going to be happy. When she starts complaining about the AVR not working, it's usually got to go!

You can’t use a soundbar and AVR in conjunction. You will have to choose one or the other.

Will Auro 3D only work with a blue ray 4k movie or can i access it watching DirectTV stream lets say? I read that Auro 3D will make regular content sound amazing. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

@trauma50disaster1 Год назад

at the bottom of the remote is 4 colored buttons called "Sound Mode." The green first button cycles through available sound modes and also has on screen menu matching. I believe you cycle to auromatic. It took me a week to find this option. By the way the last yellow button cycles through direct, pure, and the third option is auto sound mode. I wouldn't expect to find that there.

Channa, I gave a Denon X8500H with six height channels in a front height, rear height and surround height configuration. I am able to get all three formats but it’s strange how they all display. In Atmos I get front and rear heights. In Auro-3D I get front and side heights but in DTS-X I get all six. Have you ever tried this?

@TechnoDad Год назад

That's interesting Jeff, I have never heard this, but I have never had 6 height channels before. I have some speakers on the way but I will need someone to install them. I will definitely look into this.

@demonreturns4336 Год назад

From what I know it’s because dts is more relaxed than Dolby If you changed the setting from side height to too middle then you’d get all 6 height active in Dolby atmos

Nice review. I picked up a lightly used X4700 last year, running 7.1.4 with the LCR powered by external Amp. My two PB2000-Pros were configured with help from the guys from SVS and they suggested that daisy-chaining the Subs vs using the separate LFE preouts would actually work better for my layout. So the 4 Subs preouts for the X3800 may not be all that useful... are there ANY other reasons to consider an upgrade, assuming someone dumped $1700 on my doorstep?
