    Solid unit. I replaced a Sony receiver which died after only a few years. This is paired with an old set of Bose speakers, and it has been great.

    Works great for a low-cost 5.1 system. Uses pink noise (or white or whatever) to EQ the speakers to the room, seems to work great. Has two sub outs as well, if you want to go 5.2.

    This is my first Denon product and it’s solid. Excellent quality. Hooking up two sub-woofers is a nice feature. Used for gaming, streaming film/tv and music (Alexa Show 5 line-out), Plenty of inputs/outputs.

    This receiver is perfect to power a home tv theater if you are not hung up on spec’s. It has enough inputs and speaker connections for the average room. The picture quality is good and the sound is very good. Setup is easy.

    I bought this for one of my customers because my normal distributor was out. Denon is my go-to for audio solutions. Always easy to setup and operate. Highly recommend Denon.

    Really great sound at higher volumes. I've got Onkyo surround speakers hooked up with an Onkyo sub. This unit makes them sound amazing. Plenty of HDMI ports for a lot of devices. Been using this for over a year with ZERO concerns.

    Works well with my Audio Technica L-120 and Klipsch speakers for spinning records. Haven't tried it as a whole theater system yet. I had to bring in a TV to set it up correctly, but eventually figured it out.

    I upgraded my Denon receiver I have had since 2007 to this new version and I couldn't be happier. I was able to connect all of my devices quickly through the guide on the TV. Sound is great and I am very happy with it.

    For the price it can't be best. I use it for music, records and bluetooth streaming. I also use it for 3.1 for movies and games. Performs great. If your room is large, it may not be powerful enough though.

    This receiver works really nice for our TV surround system. Have a subwoofer hooked to it and the sound is awesome. I also like the automation with it powering on automatically whenever we turn the satellite dish on

    For what I paid I didn't expect much, my Intention was to improve the sound of TV and have a option for streaming music, where a sound bar av just wasn't cutting it, quite honestly probably one of the best purchases I have made it a very long time

    Easy to setup. Works well. Hooked up all our electronics and it made it easy to control each device with one remote. Did need to do some adjustments with each device to sync properly.

    The receiver is what I have come to expect from Denon. Clean design, easy to hook up and plenty of power for the three speakers and subwoofer that are wired to it. I would certainly purchase another.

    Audio is great. Audio filters are best. Plenty of power. My con is the Bluetooth. It’s a bit annoying when it won’t connect.
