To anyone who owns or owned a Denon receiver, a few quick questions if you don't mind me asking. I live in an apartment & my system is in a normal sized carpeted living room, if that affects your answers.

1. Did you have any problems with the Remote or is it just me getting use to it? Did you use a Universal Remote and if so, what model? Does the remote always have the word Amp on it even when you try to turn it off or am I doing something wrong?

2.. What bass & treble setting number did you use? (I have it on 4 right now).

3. How about DB's. What DB level did you set your sub and your front and rear speakers?

4. What Dynamic Range Compression (Off, low, medium or high) did you use?

5. Did you use Cinema EQ?

6. When listening to regular CD's did you set at direct(2 channel) , 5/7 channel stereo, Matrix, or Pro Logic?

7. When watching TV did you set at direct (direct), 5/7 channel stereo, Marix, or Pro Logic

8. What cable brand(s)& model did you use for the Denon

Thanks for your help and input.
