Denon 500 Series Remote

I have a Denon S540BT and couldn’t find the remote. No problem I think to myself. I’ll just download the Denon 500 series remote app and problem solved. Problem NOT solved! Since reworking my surround system after a remodel, I need to run setup and set my system to the new room. There is literally no way to do this from this app (or the front panel of the receiver). This app only works through Bluetooth- and good luck with that! IF you manage to connect (a feat in itself) you get only basic functions. Power on/off. Volume up/down. Source select… that’s about it. No way to navigate menus, select items, adjust distances, manually eq your system, select listening modes…etc. For a decent amp, this app highly disappoints.

I feel this app is to basic for a great company. I can do more with the remote it comes with so why bother with this? I would like to have a layout of all my adjustments for my sound that I can control so I’m not flipping on each little thing with the remote so I can control my levels, distance, bass, treb, vol, hertz, crossovers, and so forth for a iPad or tablet app. Then the app would be worth the download. Thanks in concern

When I got this a year ago, everything went great. I just tried it today, and I can no longer turn my speaker on or off with the app. Not terrible, but certainly disappointing. The app keeps showing I need to connect to Bluetooth, but when I play my music, it works. Again, it works, so not a huge issue. They must have had an update. I’m afraid to delete the app and reinstall because of the issues I’m reading in other reviews. I guess a bird in the hand...
