    A good receiver for the price. Has good sound, and separations. The on screen settings display is very helpful. The setup microphone makes fine tuning extremely easy.

    This unit replaced a very old tuner that died after years of solid usage. It felt great to upgrade to 4k, bluetooth, modern technology.

    Very good budget 4K receiver. I'm upgrading from a 5 year old AVR1613 which was great but since I got a 4K TV I had to resort to ARC in order to get both 4K and surround sound (not TrueHD or DTSMA). Very easy to setup too.

    The set-up is rather extensive and complex, plan on it taking a couple of hours. However, when complete, it's has wonderful sound and plenty of power for a medium sized room.

    The receiver is easy to use and works great. It was easy to set up and configure. We have added speakers and a subwoofer over time and it was easy to reconfigure each time.

    This is a great a/v receiver. It shows a bar graph on the tv screen of the sound which is nice. It has hookups for all of my equipment with hdmi connections. The sound quality is very nice.

    Using this for a 5.1 surround system in a small room. Plenty of power at any rational sound level. Auto setup worked very well. Deserves good speakers and subwoofer.

    Long story short, replaced a 10 yr old Denon with an Onkyo 2 yrs ago, only to replace that with this Denon today. No more messing around. Extremely happy. Easy setup. Sound is excellent!

    Bought as a replacement for another receiver. This was a great price with decent features but I wish it had more controls for equalizing and # of input sources was higher. Good sound quality and easy to set up
