    I replaced an older Denon AVR-S900W in my family room which was starting to have some overheating problems. This product is a big step up compared to the older Denon. Easier setup, far better internet connections. HEOS app is superb. Maybe the calibration on the older one needed updating, but the sound out of this one compared to the older is so much better. Richer, smoother, better balanced (same speakers). Now considering replacing the Onkyo in my media room with this Denon and experimenting with Atmos setup. Highly recommended.

    Denon is the only receiver I would purchase. Has so many input and output plugs. Def worth the buy. It makes gaming and movie watching easy without the hassle of plugging and unplugging anytime we want to switch system or watch tv. Previously has a Denon for several years and wanted to upgrade due to having more systems in our house.

    I found this item in an open box deal and everything came with it. Works perfectly fine! My first ever Receiver and works awesome! I have a smart home thing going on at home and the fact that I can control this with my phone is super cool! I've only had it for a bit, haven't messed with it 100%. I'm also waiting on achieving higher performing tower speakers to get the most out of my surround experience. I can't wait to start incorporating alexa with it as well!

    been messing around with a bunch of the settings, and it's pretty amazing what you can do. Case in point: i have a channel named TV, which is set via ARC to my TV via HDMI cable, but if my TV is off, it will output from my girlfriend's TV around the corner via Optical cable, and that can go for all the other channels, where if there's no signal from HDMI, it can be set to default over to an optical or RCA port. The phone app makes things a lot easier as well, such as renaming the channels, adjusting Zone 2 and a lot more.

    This is my first Denon. I replaced a two year old Sony that was just out of warranty and dying with a more expensive Onkyo unit. Redid all the wiring, configured, calibrated, and was nearly done when Pop! The Onkyo unit blew a fuse. Packed it up for the return and decided to go for the Denon. I am VERY happy that I did. This Denon was a breeze to setup and has been rock solid with very little tweaking. From now on I'll be going with Denon.
