    I bought this receiver before I purchased the Xbox Series X. Unfortunately, it won't play my games in 4k because it doesn't support 10bit or higher. Even my gaming computer won't display 4k when connected thru this receiver. If I bypass this crappy receiver I get 4k. Denon support was no help at all. You'd think you would be able to display 4k with a 4k receiver. WRONG!!

    Not bad for the price. I think if I were to purchase a more expensive unit. I had to unplug the subwoofer. Could not control the high end of the range not sure why. I played with it for a while couldn't control it. Not really sure why.

    Very Average Receiver

    Purchased this as it was on sale. I have very large tower speakers as my front left/right and even though the wattage matched up nicely it did not push them like it should have. Ended up purchasing the Sony STR-DH590 for a little more and it sounds absolutely wondeful.

I will forward your concern to the appropriate department where the team will take it into consideration, for future models, where this could possibly be updated.

    This receiver is a a good product, however it has some quirks. I has a 10-15 second pause when you turn it on that is very annoying. and the volume is not as strong as the previous model that I replace. Over priced and under powered.

    The receiver is probably a quality item but I never found out. I had a few questions about set up and I could not get help at Denon. disappointing experience with my first Denon product.
