Time2Jet Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Happy Sunday! I’m integrating an X8500H Wednesday. It replaces an X3500H just because I’ve added speakers to a 7.2.4 setup. I’m wanting to know if it’s possible to program to activate a “Custom” setting. This will be set up in the Denon, but I need a way to activate the setting when streaming music. I know that power, volume, mini apps and switching are nicely integrated, just don’t know if the driver permits further programming. PS: The Denon X3500 is for sale for $500 shipped USA. Only used since late March. Audyssey mic and box contents never even opened. Thanks all! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollerAgent Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Which setting are you trying to activate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time2Jet Posted August 25, 2019 Author Share Posted August 25, 2019 Which setting are you trying to activate?Hey @LollerAgent Thanks. I’ll have a Custom profile set up for a particular input (C4). I use the native streaming music apps on the EA5, so I’d like that input to play the Custom profile without having to go back to the rack every time I steam music.

LollerAgent Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 So - you can select the sound mode in programming. I'm not quite sure what a custom profile is (and I have all Denon AVR's!), but here is a screenshot of what you can do in programming: If you select "Surround Sound," you see the following options.. perhaps one of these is a profile?

Thanks @LollerAgent this looks like exactly what I want. I should have looked first. It appears that each input can be set to a Surround profile. In my case, that would be a preprogrammed Quick Select. This way, even though my AV programming has a pair of 600m’s as heights or wides, I will set them for my EA5 input to enhance the volume of this pair in a multichannel stereo setup. Looks perfect.

LollerAgent Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No prob - so you're basically just turning on multi-channel stereo when the AVR is on your C4 input.. so that streaming music comes through all channels? Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping to set a Quick Select custom profile that is multichannel stereo, but adds dB to my front heights or wides. Long story. (That pair are fairly nice sounding speakers, but because of the room layout, I had to use a 60” Episode ES-550 Soundbar). In the A/V setup the L/R of the Soundbar will be fronts. I have struggled over this because I have a new pair of Klipsch RP-600m’s that I preferred to use for 2-Channel music. It’s confusing and I’ve had a hard time articulating.

Matt Lowe Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I have the 8500 and Denon is great about having full integration. Have not found a feature I can't program yet. Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, are you able to use and control the Denon OSD with a C4 Remote. Haven’t tried that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk sure does but from the remote only. the mobile app will just bring up the surround sound selections. This was imperative as my AVRS are in my rack in my office and not controllable via ir remote from the living room. Time2Jet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
