I own a 1500.00-5 year old marantz. I believe a circuit went out. Didn't want to wait I. Repair, plus I wanted something with Bluetooth,networking capabilities. I first purchased a pioneer, a few weeks later this was was advertised at the same price. The pioneer was going to require that I spent an extra 300.00 To use all the features. This Demon came fully equipped so I exchanged it. The Denonswt up was very easy it has more power not to mention more features than the Pioneer. This is a great unit for the money. Even though it's it's Denon's entry level model, I feel no need to rush and hook my more expensive receiver.

Vacillated between several Denon, Pioneer, and Sony models before pulling the trigger on this purchase. I'm glad I did. Sound quality with some Klipsch speakers is great, interface is relatively easy to use, and the right number of HDMI inputs keeps viewing/gaming/TV ready at the touch of a button. Haven't used the 'zones' yet, but love the bluetooth feature with my iPhone music selection, or streaming from my computer. Definitely recommend this purchase if you don't want to spend $1,000+.

This is receiver is a decent entry-level machine. I first noticed the size. Quite a bit smaller than a $500 Onkyo purchased in 2002. I believe its small because Denon stuck to the basics. Quality parts, limited connections, & WiFi. The white led color is pleasant, and the overall face is balanced. More connections would have been nice. An extra optical in and optical out would have been useful. Receiver does have hdmi-arc, Low THD%, and good capacitors. The ability to play 7.2 is impressive too. The on screen menus are a little difficult to navigate. Navigating the menus on the receiver (without on screen) are near impossible. My 13 year old Onkyo is way easier to use and I like the Onkyo remote better as well. I hope you have small fingers and night vision if you want to use the denon remote. I would have expected more from a $500 machine, but then again, I guess the dollar just doesn't stretch as far as it use to:( Overall I give it 4/5 stars for quality and power. You might want to consider a receiver with a more intuitive menu system and better remote. I only use it for a 3.1 system and at $325, I consider it a really good deal.
