I just want to ask something about speakers on this receiver.. Where did you put atmos speakers, and is it better to put atmos on front speakers, or rear?? I have Onkyo Atmos enabled speakers..
There's another update around that takes the firmware to 1600 -9153 or something
that disabled my surround modes selection until I restarted it (yet again)

In setups that only utilise 2 Atmos enabled upfiring speakers then Dolby recommend that they be placed at the front as opposed to the rear of the room.

All Denons run quite toasty. If there is any danger from overheating then the safety system will shut it down to prevent damage. You have an Eco button on the remote, it can be used to reduce the heat with a fully on and auto setting.I have x2500H with 5.1.
3 QA 3010 as fronts and centre, 2 tannoy mini eclipse as surround, sub is a REL Storm very old my dad gave me. This is just temporary until I get the 3090C then I'll put the surrounds as QA3010.
The sound seems really quiet, at volume 30 its quite quiet, at 40 its okay. For movies I tend to put it at 50-58. Then comes the problem, at +50 the receiver gets quite hot and can get to around 60-62c! The room starts getting quite warm. I measured with a infrared thermometer. It's too hot that I can't keep my palm on the top of the receiver metal. This is mostly on the left side of the receiver when looking at it from the front then above. I can play sound louder on my Q7FN without worrying about the heat issues!
Is this normal? It is in open space as I have no TV stand yet so plenty of ventilation. I've only had it just under 2 weeks. First few days of using it there was smell like some faint burning smell but that has gone now I believe. It hasn't gone into protection mode yet.
I am using manual settings and set all speakers to small after doing the auto calibration as it set some of my speakers large. Crossover are set all set to 90 with the sub LFE set to 120. Oh the speakers are on the floor also currently as I haven't decided on stands or wall mount yet.
Anyone else with experience using the 3010 on this receiver or the high heat?
Generally sorting out the ventilation is preferred to using ECO as that also limits the peak amplifier power quite severely. Very useful as a temporary solution and/or if peak power isn’t needed though.All Denons run quite toasty.

As for your volume then set the volume control from the absolute scale to the dB scale. Most people find that listening at between -15 to -20dB is about right for film. It will be higher for broadcast TV.
The ideal crossover would be 80hz for the fronts, the surrounds can go higher if you want, I run my KEF R100 surrounds at 100hz. It should be pointed out that you should not set the crossovers to higher lower than that registered by Audyssey. Speakers on the floor are really going to mess up your sound. Get those stands sooner rather than later and re-run Audyssey.
My X6200 has Eco mode turned off and it still runs hot even though the front stereo pair are powered by a separate amp. Enclosed in a cabinet with more than adequate ventilation and a sliding door which is left open during operation I've never had a problem with shut downs. I believe @hazual has his 2500 on an open shelf so ventilation is fine. Many new Denon owners worry about how hot they get.Generally sorting out the ventilation is preferred to using ECO as that also limits the peak amplifier power quite severely.

Glad you’re happy now, it all seemed a bit doom and gloom in here!I can't fault the Denon now as it was only a small IDtenT error as once I replaced the wiring it worked perfectly.
Answered in the Sony thread that you posted in and several other threads. Posting in too many threads is just going to add to your confusion and other members frustration. Keep to one thread please.Anyone noticed a drop in image quality when running 4k from sky q and a 4k player through the amp to the tv or projector?
