    I picked this receiver up to replace my old Denon receiver because I bought a 4K TV and the older Denon did not have the correct HDMI ports for 4k 60 FPS viewing. It works perfectly with my TV and the HDMI return channel is nice for playing content from the TV that the receiver picks up and plays. Since it was a newer version of my old receiver there was no learning curve.

    This is fantastic sounding equipment! Definitely better than Yamaha in this price range. Would have gone 5 stars but input 1 and 2 are not 4K and I am conditioned that #1 “is the good one”... not here! I bet a lot of people return this unit when they don’t get 4K after plugging it into HDMI one… If I were Denon I would put stickers over one and two that says no 4K, probably stop lots of returns.... very good sounds tuning with the included microphone.

    Needed an updated receiver to enable full HDMI passthrough to take advantage of my NextGen video game console even though my 12 y/o Pioneer was still kicking. Honestly didn't know much about Denon, but after a lot of recon on this specific receiver, I decided to give this one a try. This receiver has performed well, offers excellent value & I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for an upgrade or even a new buyer.

    Nice Quality for Home Theater sound system

    Really nice basic home theater system with nice sound - don't purchase if you are looking for a basic stereo receiver which I did as it does not output properly for that setup - we moved to replace Home theater system and with a good sub woofer and decent speakers it works and sounds great. Only complaint is the remote control is oddly sensitive. It tends to shoot up or down quickly and I haven't figured out a way around that yet. All in all great product

    Great sound but Hackable firmware - Beware

    Great sound with one serious drawback for audiophiles . It lacks a auto trigger . For the many features this is one disappointment . Also it’s firmware is easily hackable so be warned. I have caught a couple of rackets trying to change the configuration of the display and also turn the AV on and off. I had to remove. AB vendors need to ensure their product is hack proof since it’s connected to the internet
