Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this on a deal and decided to pair them with new Klipsch speakers. This has been a great set up, especially when paired with the Phillips Hue lights that are reactive to the TV image.

Inexpensive 7.1
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Amazing deal for premium sound. Only downside is lack of active cooling but this is remedied by adding a simple fan to the grill up top. Drives all the Sony speakers that that it is rated for

Poor bass response
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Difficult review to write, on one hand the sound from this receiver is good, but the bass response from the subwoofer is poor. I’ve researched and tried everything I can to increase the volume from the subwoofer, but the receiver is very difficult to adjust the subwoofer settings, and even after adjusting the sub settings, the bass response is minimal and not what I had from my previous receiver. The auto calibration is not as easy as it seems. The Geek Squad tech spent an hour and a half trying to calibrate the speakers. He finally called someone to walk him through it. When diagnosing the subwoofer problem, one suggestion was to auto calibrate the system. Well, if Geek Squad can’t do it, I sure can’t. I never got a successful calibration. User error…maybe! But it shouldn’t be that difficult. While listening to music at a somewhat mid-high volume, the receiver continued to go into protect mode, even with the cabinet door open for ventilation. Overall, the receiver is ok. I moved this one to another space in the house and bought a different brand of receiver to power my A/V needs. I would not buy this receiver again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Dolby atmos
Atmos performance with a budget
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great AV system, and I was able to setup my dolby atmos 7.2 environment with ease. One downside would be there is no hdmi 2.1 so it lacks some future proofing (4k @ 120hz).

Almost Prefect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I use it for movies and TV 99% of the time. Good receiver, good power. Separates 5.1 sound through 7.1 speakers, unlike previous Denon I had. Hwoecer, bafflingly, it doesn’t have wireless or even wired Ethernet capability.
