    Everthing is good. Price is resonable. Speaker output terminals needs to upgrade. Bannana plugs would be best.

    This was a replacement for my old Sony receiver. This Denon is extremely hard to adjust the sound levels. Instead of using a system such as 1 - 10, low to high, it has to be gauged in feet. (!) I've had Geek Squad out twice to help adjust it. Still, the sound level is different from TV to BluRay, to apps on the TV such as Netflix. I would not recommend it.

    Wish I had more control of the left and right front speakers. And a little confused by the Thermal Protection and why it shuts off the unit at random.

    Able to output decent wattage to 5.2 surround speakers. Customization of display and inputs lacks when compared to Onkyo brand when priced to similar models.

    It’s a good system with lots of settings. Only bad thing is it must be hooked to a tv to complete the setup. That’s a little inconvenient.

      Hey Char,


      Yes, a TV is required to set this unit up. However, you can press the back button on your remote to exit the setup assistant to begin using the receiver without doing a speaker calibration.


      Thanks,

    A perfectly adequate unit for the price-point. Much better THD rating than similar product offerings.

    Only problem I have is that there was no compatible code with TiVo. I use hdmi loopback ARC and the volume is very slow to change.
