Very Happy I Bought This
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the sound quality I get from this. Someday I'll learn how to use more of the features! The internet radio is very cool. I have it hooked up to a Definative Technolgy surround set up and it is very clear and has good volume.

Still getting used to it.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Basically good sometimes loses connect with internet and tv. Gives a good sound. Has more flexibility then my prior receiver. Had to connect Blu-ray player through tv rather than HDMI on receiver. eAVR is a good feature but does act up occasionally.

Good choice for this price point
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's certainly not equipment that would satisfy an audiophile, but for the price point it's a really solid option. The eArc and bluetooth work well. A smooth transaction with Best Buy.

Great Home Theater Receiver for surround sound
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We had to upgrade our receiver for hook up to Comcast and new TV. This Denon receiver is working great to deliver surround sound and integrate with our BluRay player and other electronics. The onscreen setup guide made the setup very easy.

Nice product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good receiver. A lot of features you get in much more expensive units. Wifi, Bluetooth, air play etc. Love the speaker set up. Come with a microphone to set all speaker levels to fit your room. Could have more power but does the job.

Great receiver from Denon and worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great powerful receiver that is a bargain if you can find one in stock. I have two in the house and the both work great. They are not the flagship of Denon but they are great receivers.

Bad After-taste.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit works fine. My problem is that I bought two cables when I was at the store,my old unit would require them and you had none of the new units in stock for me to look at,and when my on-line purchase came to the house I quickly realized I needed different cables to connect all the devices. Once I had everything up and running I called the store about returning the two cables I no longer had any need for and was told the 14 day return policy was cast in stone. That day WAS day 14 and I was unable to get from my home to there so I have these two cables beside me to remind me daily. That of course leaves a bad taste. Snow storms and Covid problems should be mitigating factors. Unit great-customer service not.

Confusion and frustration at its finest
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my first “real” home theater system I was putting together. I have had home theaters in a box and my most recent was a Sonos system. I wanted so bad to like this receiver especially given the Denon name but it’s going back to Best Buy. I will start with saying my favorite feature of this is the Audessey Calibration. I’m using Polk Signature series towers, center and surrounds with a JL E110 sub. It sounded great but after the calibration, I could not believe my ears. It changed the sound 100% for the better. It was a night and day difference. What I like the least is the sound modes. Maybe I should have read the manual before purchasing but I didn’t think that was necessary. There are 4 modes; music, movie, game, pure. Pure only has 2 settings which are somewhat ok. The other modes have SEVERAL modes between them. In music alone, I think there are 8-10 modes to choose from. I have a Nintendo switch and a firestick both connected directly to the receiver. If I watch Netflix tv shows it sounds great in “x” mode. If I watch a Netflix movie it sounds better in “y” mode. If I watch amazon prime shows it sounds better in “z” mode. It would be nice if there was a mode where it sounded great for all. Or maybe just have a movie button and JUST a movie button. And just ONE music button. I know there probably some home theater die hard at home having a stroke right now because I “don’t know how to use” this receiver. Lets face it, at this price point it’s not going to be the audiophiles that are out buying it. It’s going to be your regular Joe or Jane trying to step up a notch. Also, the on screen display that shows on the tv is slooowwwww and it looks like your working on a computer from the 70s. That’s a bit bizarre to me, I did not know before I purchased but apparently Polk and Denon along with other brands are owned by one company. I had a a question about my polks and within 12 hours I was answered. I messaged Denon 4 days ago without response yet except for my auto generated email saying my question was received and someone would be in touch. Maybe Denon isn’t the brand I thought or was hoping it would be.

Posted .We're sorry to hear about your poor experience. The reason why we put in so many sound modes is mainly for versatility. Different people like different things. The Pure button actually allows you to bypass the AVR's internal processing and just playback the audio that the source is sending. This is a nice feature to have if you have a player with a nice DAC or can process the audio in a better fashion. Again, just adds versatility. The menu (OSD) is pretty basic in this model and can look blocky, like old Nintendo graphics. If you go up to the S960H or X2700H models that's when we incorporate a much cleaner and better looking menu.(GUI) Regarding Support, we are a bit understaffed at the moment and still trying to catch our breath from the holiday season, so we're sorry that it's taking so long to get your question answered. We do have phone and chat support if you ever need questions answered in a more timely manner.

Excellent!!! Excellent!!! Excellent!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ordered this over a month ago and this is by far the best AVR I've owned. So many features, just take your time setting everything up and you should be fine. The sound is outstanding! The wireless sub is amazingly convenient, hide it wherever you want. I order the Amazon Basics Speaker Connectors and 12 ga wire for my set up and all 4k hi-def hdmi cables, crystal clear sound and picture. For the price, i would recommend this AVR to anyone, you just can't beat it. The BASS is outstanding and love the contols on the back of the sub. The BASS has be rattling the glasses in the cabinets.....just amazing. Can't wait for the next fight party!!!!

Awesome!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaced my old Yamaha when the power started to fail on it. What a difference. The sound is so much better now. I could live without the HEOS but Dolby Vision passthrough and such awesome sound. A total win.

Love our new home theatre system
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced an older home theatre system with this one and have been very pleased with it. The sound is crystal clear (even through the old BOSE speakers) and navigating the equipment has been fairly easy.

Nice features, lacks in power.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the more user friendly AVRs. Set up is a breeze with walk through directions, 4K up scaling is there, but it lacks in power.
