Powerful, feature-rich, and easy to set up – I upgraded my home theater with the Denon AVR-S770H and couldn’t be happier. The sound is clean and dynamic with immersive Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and video quality is fantastic thanks to the 8K support and smooth up-converting. The HEOS streaming and Audyssey room correction made setup a breeze. Feels like a premium upgrade without breaking the bank—I’d definitely recommend it!

We like the sound. The nuance of instruments is noticeable and dynamic. Separation of channels is good. Now the bad. Owned it for less than two weeks and had to call Denon tech support because the Setup Menu would not display on the TV. This issue was resolved by unplugging the unit for a while and letting it reset. Now (after less than a month of ownership) we are having an issue with the video. The picture would stay on for a few seconds, then go black, then back on and off again. The pattern just kept repeating itself every time we shut down the system and rebooted. We tried unplugging the unit for 30 minutes to reset, but had the same result. We isolated the issue to the receiver by changing cables, then hooking the source directly to the TV. After the AVR being unplugged for two days, it is kind of working again. When booted up, it may or may not produce sound or picture. Very frustrating!

This receiver has been the experience we have been looking for. Easy installation, on screen directions, and a difference in watching TV.

Denon is a great company. Have always wanted a Denon receiver, and finally broke down and bought one. However, I find that the receiver does not play well with Samsung TV products. I have had to upgrade all my HDMI cables, which did solve a few problems, but the TV and receiver still do not play well together, I love the Bluetooth option and the fact that it connects to my Wi-Fi. It has beautiful sound, and I love the Dolby Atmos features as well. I can play music straight from my phone or computer to the receiver. Overall a great product. But if you own Samsung TVs, I would definitely do your homework before you buy a Denon product to hook up to it unless you’re willing to deal with all the little hiccups.

I. love the Denon AVR-770. I'm very rural on Solar primary poser. It presents some interesting challenges, but we seem able to work through them during the 23 years we've been here, I do want to comment on own installer, Marcus. We've worked with him on most of our Best Buy tech purchases over the past 10 years. He is amazing. Very knowledgeable and efficient. He's the main reasons we.ve stayed Total Geek Squad .members.

Picked this up for my father-in-law as a replacement to what he had. This has surpassed any expectation that he had. He loves it and enjoys watching his favorite movies loudly in surround sound!

Upgraded from a Denon S710W ( B B ) connected to a. Sony A80J 65in ( B B) also with an Oppo UDP-203 purchased yrs ago at Magnolia Best Buy . Oops forgot the Roku Ultra and also typed on my Best Buy 2nd gen I Pad . So I would say Best Buy has been my go to source for many yrs . Yes I highly recommend them for any future purchases you might need !

This is an awesome receiver! After owning a Sony receiver for over 15 years (which was considered budget-friendly state-of-the-art at that time), I recently decided to upgrade. So I did some research. I looked at Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, and Denon. I settled on this Denon, seeing that it was a bit more powerful than my Sony and gave me expansion potential from my 5.1 speaker setup to 7.1 or 7.2 speakers. It also had a built-in pre-amp for my turntable, which my previous receiver lacked. Add to all of that the Dolby specs and the numerous HDMI and optical inputs as well as some RCA inputs and I am a happy musical and cinematic audiophile! It also has Denon's HEOS multi-room wireless capabilities for streaming throughout your home. I can heartily recommend this receiver. Feel free to look at other receivers; Denon has some with more speaker potential, for instance. But if you're looking for a high-quality system for 5 or 7 speakers, you can't go wrong with this one. I gave it 4-stars on ease-of-use only because it has so much it can do, I'm still adjusting to it. But it *is* a very good system.

We got this denon receiver to replace a Sony AV receiver that was not working correctly. The Sony was going to be too much to repair so we bought a new receiver. I wish I would’ve bought that denon first, as it sounds significantly better than the Sony did and seems to be a better build quality. For less than $1000 this is a very good choice for an AVreceiver.

Hello. We appreciate you taking the time to review the AVR-S770H. It's great to hear it has met with your satisfaction and is proving to be a sonic upgrade over your previous AVR. Welcome to the Denon family.

This is a great receiver. And the guy at Best Buy (Matt) gave me a really good breakdown of the different receivers and their capabilities for their price range etc. Sounds great, 4K, coonected my 4K items to it, no-probs. It has 2 subwoofer inputs, but this model does not have each subwoofer input as separate independent channels. Still sounds great as is with 2 subs.

The quality of the product is terrific; it handles the old phonograph and CD player that I have in a work room. However, it requires a TV to set it up, which I did not have. The online customer service is unhelpful - the AI rep kept telling me to use my TV, which I repeatedly typed I didn’t have. This is ridiculous. Thus, I bought the cheapest smart TV just to set up the dadgum thing; I really wanted to play old vinyls and CDs. If you are a cut-the-TV-type, this product is not for you. Also, even if the price looks great, know that you’ll have to buy a TV just to set it up - it is not plug-in and play. Otherwise, it is a fine product.

Hello Ricardo,
We appreciate you taking the time to review the AVR-S770H, and we're delighted to hear you're impressed with its performance.
Depending on your system requirements, we offer two types of amplifiers. Our AV receivers (AVRs), such as the AVR-S770H, are designed for systems that include both audio and video components, making them ideal for home theater setups. Alternatively, our stereo integrated amplifiers are intended for music-focused systems and can be set up and operated without the need for an external display or TV screen.
If your primary interest is two-channel music playback, one of our stereo integrated amplifiers may be worth considering. If you enjoy both music and home theater content, the AVR-S770H remains an excellent choice.
Kind regards,
Denon Support.

This is a great receiver, so easy to setup with plenty of hdmi plugins. They supplied labels to put on all of the speaker wires and wires for cd/dvd player, turntable and other accessories. Instructions were so easy to follow, even I got it right the first time. The receiver sets up the speaker outputs with sound tones for each speaker. The first dvd I played was the Matrix and WOW!! My 30year old Bose speakers sounded fantastic, I had the house shaking. Yeah, so was my wife, had to turn it down. Next time. Absolutely buy this receiver.

Fantastic receiver for the money! It replaced my very old Yamaha HTTR-5740 and I am not disappointed. It renders any sound signal that it receives (HD all the way up to ATMOS) and it has lots of useful features built-in include casting and 2 zones.

I think this is a very good product the connections are labeled an easy for speaker wires and wireless hookup. But, easy ends there, the online manual isn't that helpful as far as explanations of what does what or what to do for sound improvement. I am still trying to find EQ settings as it appears they are all preprogrammed channels and no manual adjustment for EQ, Just playing around with it I got it to sound pretty good. But it took a lot of time and reading & tweaking to get there. The remote is only useful for sound as it didn't integrate with the TV remote ? I need to do more research and tweaking. To arrive at it's optimal performance parameters.

I have had Denon equipment in the past and have always valued the quality of sound, durability of equipment, flexibility. This piece is no exception - they put the "qua" in quality! Even though it will do more than I want of need I still value this piece.
