    I would like to state that I'm new to receivers for the most part so my review is probably not the best. As far as setup no issues and seems to be working as advertised. My only possible issue I don't believe I'm getting the most out of this unit. Still upgrading components t see if that makes a difference

    Does not support eARC. Have found this will not support the eARC signal from my new Samsung Q60 QLED. The Denon uses a standard ARC connection. The Q60 doesn't recognize it for return of TV sound.

    Good performance once I got it set up. Setup instructions and guide not very helpful. A call to the support team showed little knowledge of the product. The most useful information was obtained from YouTube videos online. I also needed to purchase an isolation transformer for the subwoofer to eliminate a ground loop circuit interference.

    This receiver is good for the time being. I bought this as a starter receiver as I am knew to media packages. It is definitely getting the job done. Some things I wish it had, a game hdmi with 120 refresh rate. It currently pushes out 60. Other than that it is just fine. Although I should’ve just paid extra money to get a 7.1.
