Got this as a replacement for my sony DHR-790 so I could have internet connection, internet radio, a usb port and more hdmi inputs. The GOOD: better sound and picture from my Blu-ray, Roku stick, and Apple TV. Endless selection of internet radio stations. Airplay or Bluetooth for Apple Music or cordless headphones. Spotify connect. Good app control via Bluetooth or web. Speaker calibration from multiple positions. The BAD: does not play well with my Sony tv. Volume from the tv is low and AVR must be turned up past 30. When tv is turned off to listen to music AVR loses all audio regardless of source or setting and has to be restarted. BB specs are wrong. This DOES NOT have HD Radio tuner. The UGLY: The remote is a behemoth and very uncomfortable. I had hand pains after several hours of setting up and adjusting everything

Very good AVR for the money. I had bought a brand new Onkyo and returned it because I couldn't get any volume out of surround speakers when playing music. This Denon has no problem driver the rear speakers. I also hooked up Zone 2 on my covered front porch, with 2 8" carbon fiber Monoprice speakers that sound very,very good! The only negative I have found is the remote control is not programmable for other components. When you get this you must download Heos app and Denon AVR app. Then you can use Heos app to play radio stations from web, your playlists from Tidal, or other music service. And it doesn't use Bluetooth from your phone so it's not draining your battery!

I purchased this due to previous experience with Denon , and for the good reviews. This replaced an older Onkyo 7.2 receiver, with more wattage per channel,and a few other features. This is coupled with a newer LG OLED smart TV, and seven speakers. The Onkyo would not shake hands with the TV using the E ARC feature and the audio was wonky . I took a chance with this Denon for that reason, but this Denon has the E ARC function, whereas the Onkyo did not. I upgraded the HDMI to super fast 8K E ARC compatible, and I have not been disappointed. I have not noticed the 75 WPC difference for my new Denon vs. 110 WPC for the Onkyo. I am very happy with this receiver so far.

Amazing amplifier. Once connected easy set up. Alignment of the speakers was went so smoothly. Can’t wait for the 49ers games with awesome sound!!

Denon provides a quality product for an affordable price. It Always works and it always sounds great. Gonna upgrade eventually but this has been a great entry level receiver
