No, when the Menu button is pressed, you need to press the Amp button again. I learned this while I was installing an AVR-991, which is basically the same model. I'm a Denon CI too, but I learned this before I did the training.
Do yourself a favor- leave the manual with your other reading material that you use to "relax", if you know what I mean. Read and re-read it- there's a lot to remember and it's not all intuitive. Specifically, read the sections about networking and using Pandora, the tuner, controlling it with a smart phone or computer. I usually save each zone as a favorite/bookmark in my browser and if I need to do that for several customers, I save them in a folder for easy access.
Once you set it up the way you want, you definitely want to save the configuration. That way, it only takes 5 minutes to re-load, instead of having to go through the whole process again. Denon recommend doing it hard-wired but it does work wireless if the network speed is fast enough.
Look for some of the smart phone apps like Twonky and a Denon remote app written by a German or Danish guy.
