Remote controls
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It works great. Only trouble I had was all the remote's I have. Some work well with the receiver and some don't. Just have too learn which ones work.

worth every penny
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good value priced receiver. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because the tuning process with the included microphone was cumbersome. It took a couple times to work.

Outstanding!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price, this amp is the bomb. I think my favorite part is the 5 port 4k hdmi switch. No more unplugging and plugging in devices. With a name like Denon, how can you go wrong.

Great receiver for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first Denon receiver and not my last. The 4 front input buttons allow to switch content without touching remote when up. The room self calibrating mic tines the room perfectly automatically.

ARC not working intermittently
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.ARC stops working intermittently. I'm using a Sony Bravia TV. Maybe there are some compatability issues. Not sure... I can recover ARC functionality by powering down all components, unplugging all HDMI connections, restoring power, and plugging everything back in but it's not reasonable to do this every 2-3 days. I plan to return/exchange and try something else.

Good when it works
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I like this receiver except tat it keeps losing HDMI video out every 6 months or so. I bought this unit to replace the Yamaha that died in 18 months but this time I bought a protection plan and I am very happy that did because this unit has lost HDMI video out twice in the last 14 months. It's great that it gets repaired free but it takes BB about 5 weeks to send it off to be worked on. The other reviews seem positive so maybe I just got a defective model.

Great sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical at first. I was not familiar with the brand name. The audiophile in the store talked me into it, “more bang for the buck” is what sold me on it. I am not disappointed.

The receiver is all that I expected it to be

Denon Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted a spare room receiver at a low price. Having good luck with Denon in the past, I went with this $300 model. I first set it up in my living room. It lacks network connectivity and the sound quality is so so. It lacks the clarity and definition of higher priced models. There just isn’t much punch and I have $5K speakers. I moved it to the smaller room and find it adequate for that purpose. For about $100 more, my Yamaha TSR-700 blows it away. Even my wife noticed.
