- Web (Browser) Control: The Web Control feature allows users to back up settings by saving a configuration file to their hard drive. Compatible browsers include Internet Explorer 10+, Mozilla Firefox 24+, Google Chrome 29+, and Safari 5.x+.
- Installer Setup: If an installer set up the system, it's recommended to contact them first for a reset and re-setup, as specific EQ calibrations (Audyssey) may need to be reapplied.
- Firmware Updates: The unit can update its firmware over the internet. When connected to a network (Wi-Fi or Ethernet), it automatically searches for updates. Users can choose to update "NOW," "LATER," or "IGNORE." This notification can be disabled in the "Setup" menu. If an update is interrupted, "Update retry" will appear, and the unit will attempt to resume. If it times out, messages like "Connection fail," "Download fail," "Updating fail," "Server is busy," or "Login failed" may appear. Users can manually check for updates via the "SETUP" menu under "GENERAL" and "FIRMWARE." The latest firmware can also be downloaded from the Denon website. Users can display the current firmware version on the TV screen via the "SETUP" menu under "GENERAL" and "INFORMATION." A list of recent updates/upgrades is available on the Denon website.
