    This is my first Denon product and so far has been very reliable. No issues at this point. Love the sound set up at the initial use.

    I am using this receiver with a 5-speaker system that I have had for quite a few years. Through its support of new technologies such as Dolby Atmos, this receiver has my speakers doing things that I didn’t think they were capable of. They never sounded better. Set-up is pretty easy, although I am having an ongoing problem with the HDMI-CEC in that the unit triggers my cable DVR to come on as soon as I put the receiver to sleep after using any other input. The problem might be in the cable box or the receiver. I asked Denon for assistance, but what they said was of no help. Overall, though, I think it’s a good receiver.

    After so many years of Yamaha receivers, this thing is a dream to set up. Much better - and intuitive - interface. More logically set out, so it's easy to find the setting you need. And much to my surprise, the auto-setup is pretty much spot on. I'm a pretty advanced user and did my best to improve on the recommended settings, but didn't do any better. Let's hope it doesn't suffer from the fatal DSP chip issue that has affected so many receivers....

    Lots of useful features and ease of use and TV integration. Seems under-powered but will get your speakers signing at around 60-70 on the volume dial. Runs cool too.
