Could be much better
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Tv/sound doesnt work. Usb operation makes a mess of the songs original order. There is no fast forward or back when playing music on usb flash drive. Volume buttons go too fast or too slow, depends how you press it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSpend a little more get a better value receiver!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Returned, it’s good for someone that doesn’t need Dolby Atmos, etc but I wanted that after purchasing I noticed it didn’t have it. Otherwise Spend a little more and in the end your be glad you did!

Posted .Hello, for Dolby Atmos, please consider the Denon AVR-S750H. The AVR-S750H is a 7.2 Dolby Atmos receiver.
Denon won't pass HDMI video thru to Smart TV.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very hard to set up. Cannot get cable and Blu-ray video to pass thru receiver to Smart TV via HDMI. First connected old plasma TV but had to connect cable box and Blu-ray directly to TV, and use optical fiber to get TV sound to receiver and home theater speakers. Bought new Smart TV, but same issue with video, though now sound can get to rcvr with ARC.

Posted .We're very sorry for the poor experience. Please contact our Support team if you have any operation issues with the AVR passing video to the Smart TV. It's possible that the TV's EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) isn't negotiating well with the sources when an AVR is in the mix.
power rating is a farce
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receive to run my set of four Klipsch F3 tower speakers (plus center and subwoofer), and they sucked this amp dry. Very poor low frequency (bass). The 150W x 5 is a fantasy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Denon Team
Posted .First let me apologize for your experience so far. Klipsch speakers are typically easy to drive with a high sensitivity rating. Sensitivity 97.5 dB. In most cases 25 watts will push a Klipsch speaker to near peak levels. If I could recommend trying different speaker placement? Also when listening to music, try Direct or Pure Direct sound setting. Lastly, if running surround sound with a subwoofer, be sure to set the Bass out to LFE + Main in the receiver settings. Further assistance needed please don't hesitate to reach out.

Not so Terrific
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver would not pair with my iPhone nor would it connect to my home wifi. Needless to say, but I returned it. So much for the Denon name.

Posted .First let me apologize for your experience. If I may, a TV monitor will assist with the pairing of both the Bluetooth and the WiFi. Mesh network systems are becoming more common in solving WiFi issues. Smart homes are putting more demand on the need to expand the network. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.
Could not take alot of power
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Thought I was getting a great deal because of the name. Couldn't get it to handle all my speakers in my home theater. So I took it back for the Pioneer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDoesn’t last like it should
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the hdmi ports stopped working after 8 months. I talked to manufacture and they want me to pay for shipping if I want to get a repair. This thing shouldn’t break that quick. Super disappointed as I just replaced my Older Denon receiver which broke down on me as well
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a very good receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Keeps shutting off. Won’t stay on the audio selection I choose. Choose a different brand.

Did not work at advertised
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This receiver is a piece of junk. It did not have the latest firmware when delivered and therefore could not be linked to BlueTooth speakers. It has to be cabled to a TV set to set up!! Finally, it emits asynchronous output to wired and BlueTooth speakers. Sounds like music played or sang in rounds!

Denon is a joke
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will never buy another Denon receiver. It stopped working while still in factory warranty, To get it repaired, I need to send it through mail to authorized dealer. Need original sales receipt. What a joke.

WORSE PRODUCT!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.NO GOOD! I REGRET BUYING THIS AUDIO RECEIVER. My LG Nano tech... Looks like the OLD SDvideo quality.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Denon Team
Posted .This AVR model can pass up to 4K/60 video resolution so I'm not sure about the S-Video reference you're making. If you're having any issues, please feel free to contact our Support team.

Good reciever
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had it for 4 years now ans there's no complaint what so over
I would recommend this to a friend Easy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this receiver as it appeared to have all of the features that I desired and could support the speakers and subwoofer that I also bought. This receiver sounds amazing and does not run very hot at all, which is nice as I have it in a cabinet with closed doors. The setup is very easy to perform. Just follow what your TV screen tells you to do and you're up and running. The apps are pretty decent too and work easily and intuitively. I'm very impressed with this product and would buy Denon again without thinking twice about it.
