Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently upgraded from another Denon AVR to this beast, and so far, so good. Setting up the room correction (Audyssey/Dirac capability) was smooth and easy, vastly improving the soundstage of my home theater right out of the box. The step up in power and processing is immediately noticeable. Driving a 5.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup is absolutely effortless for this unit, offering incredible clarity, crisp dialogue, and deep, dynamic bass management. Switching between 4K gaming and 8K streaming content is seamless with zero handshake or video pass-through issues. If you are looking for a robust, future-proof receiver that simplifies complex room calibration while delivering pristine audio, this is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

I purchased this unit to replace a Sony STR AN1000. This was a massive upgrade. It’s currently powering a 5.2.4 system with no amplification. I did purchase and install DIRAC active room treatment, and wow, what a difference this made versus Sony‘s 360 spatial audio. The Denon is a hands-down better product than what I was using. I have no issues with HDMI switching and so far there have been no audio issues or concerns. Setup was easy and straightforward, and the UI is very intuitive. I feel like this is a very good receiver that will last me for years to come, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a similar sized system. For anyone curious my bed layer speakers are all Klipsch reference premier, and due to their sensitivity, this receiver has had no problems powering them at high volumes. However, I plan to get an external amplifier just to see if there is a difference. 10 out of 10 would buy again.

I upgraded to this Denon AVR X3900H from my Denon AVR X1700H, which was a good entry AVR. The X3900H is much easier to setup than my X1700H. There are also more analog inputs and HDMI outputs. Setting up the Audyssey room correction was very fast. I'm using it on a 5.2.1 speaker set up, with the front speakers bi-amped. This AVR is also expandable it you want to add more amplifiers and up to 4 independant subwoofers. Hopefully, this will give me many years of listening pleasure for music and movies.

I'm running this to its full capacity--almost--and thoroughly enjoy it. Looks great on the shelf. I've noticed it does run hot so I will be ensuring when I get the final cabinet for it that it breathes well and has plenty of openings in the back for the multiple connections coming from it.

I am not sure how this compairs to other new receivers because I was not able to compair I had to purchase on features and reviews that would work in my system. It sounds far superior to my 12 year old Onkyo TX-NR818 and yes I would recomend.

I upgraded from the AVR-X3600h thinking I was only going to get HDMI 2.1 and some extra features. To my surprise I also got a sound improvement. The AVR-X3900h is also rated at 105W per channel but that number truly doesn't mean a thing. The soundstage is wider and more details in music and movies pop out. The initial setup is nicer looking too but I did feel it could be more responsive.

I upgraded from a x4500h to this paired with a MM7055 for my bed layer and the 3900 for my rear surround and atmos. What an amazing experience. Watched “Dead Reckoning” as my first movie and I was blown away. 7.4.4 is the way to go.

Great sound quality that I never got in my all previous receivers!

Sound is amazing and great options. Great reciver!!

I have owned a lot of Denon receivers. This was the least expensive of all my prior purchases. It was not able to perform an HDMI handshake. I called & searched instructions. Followed every prompt, even did a hard reset & nothing worked. Worked for over 2 weeks. Nothing worked. Returned to Best Buy. There is a young lady at Best Buy, Edith, that made the return painless. She knew how to perform an exchange for another receiver. I returned or exchanged & was out of the store in 10 minutes. Amazing!
