  • Rated 5 out of 5 stars

    Very Easy

    Does a very nice job and is easy to connect. Paying slightly more to get the 90 watts/channel is worth it. Got this as a replacement for a failed 10 year old Marantz. Nice to be able to walk in the door and play whatever was playing from your phone in your car- instantly on the Denon. Sweet!

    Phenomenal sound & great compatibility all around!

    The Denon AVR S970H has been a very powerful upgrade from our previous Denon receiver that was 20 years old. Though the previous had more Watts to push the convenience of the ARC connectivity has helped us utilize a great deal less remotes, practically down to just one, and now having the ability to use our TV's full audio potential getting surround sound on all streaming platforms making watching movies a much better experience! The receiver was worth every penny, and actually substantially less than my previous unit and is able to do more and deliver quality alongside ease of use and being future proof! Glad to have gotten the unit at a great price during the holidays, and grateful for the assistance from Best Buy in getting the item ordered.
