    Very Happy with my overall Online Shopping and pick up experience. Just as Happy with the Receiver Performance. Switching from a 75 watts per channel Onkyo Receiver, to this 140 watts per channel Denon Receiver.

    Great receiver. Nice feature is my iPhone can play music through system without having to turn on tv. Great surround sound. As example, there was a large boom on show. Both cat and I jumped.

    Needed to get a new receiver with more HDMI ports. This fit the bill and really is working well for the space I'm using it in. Plenty of power as well. Price was decent considering the quality of the product.

    Great buy, works well my current speakers. Love the Bluetooth connection. It does what you need it do, add a subwoofer and a few good speakers and you are good to go. Easy to connect too!

    I purchased this to support the audio for my backyard drive in theater. While it is jam packed with features and puts out a combined 700 watts of power it is inadequate for an outdoor theater. I need to go with a Pro Audio solution for amplified sound.

    This was given as a gift. Not all things that the system has to offer is being used at this time because whole home system needs to be updated starting with television. Only television and DVD player are only items connected to Denon. This was done by having to buy lots of new cables to make this work since my television only has one HDMI connection. There is so much to learn and am happy with everything so far. I hate that the 135 page is not included and the customer needs to download important information.

    The AVR was easy to set up and configure, produces great sound and does everything you would expect of a 5.2 channel AVR.. The auto calibrate feature is nice and ARC works well for my TV. I satisfied with my purchase.

    I purchased this receiver because I thought my old one, also a Denon, was not working. Well, it wasn't the receiver, but I kept it anyway and will use the old Denon as a backup.

    I’m pretty happy with my purchase. This isn’t the most powerful receiver out there, but It sounds decent with my setup and my powered subwoofer. So let’s see how long it will last. Hopefully I won’t have any trouble with it.

    I love it so far. I bought an Onkyo last year and it just stopped six month as after purchasing it so I had the Onkyo speakers that I hooked to this Denon receiver. So far it works great!
