    This is an excellent receiver which also produces a lot of power per channel for my speakers. The ability to view 4k @120 makes it worth every penny. I love the eArc feature. The setup is very straightforward and the design is sleek. I love this receiver and Denon products.

    Replaced Yamaha receiver that was quite old. Have a 5.1 system with Klipsch wired speakers. Very happy with system so far, hope to upgrade to a 7.2 configuration in the near future. Would like to have the 2 additional speakers connect wirelessly, will see how that turns out

    I can hookup all my devices,and they work in unison. This along with my 75" TV to watch a movie in 4K, what a great experiance.You won't be disappointed when you turn this on and watch and hear the movies,It's like your in a movie theater, the receiver with 5 speakers and 1 woofer is a great combination.

    Decent a/v receiver all around. purchased it for the hdmi 2.1 input for my xbox series x and seems to work fine so far. Only con is it has just 1 hdmi 2.1 input which seems odd coming from denon whos product lines usually have the newest features on all hdmi inputs.

    This is a great medium-range receiver. I tried the equivalent SONY and was very disappointed. The SONY was very limited in its ability to relay what type of A/V stream it was receiving and decoding. The Denon has a great onscreen display as well as the ability to quickly change through different decoding types.

    The quality was good but I could not get it to work with my Samsung TV properly. I would have turn the Denon off and on to get it to work and often times it doesn’t work with my streaming apps built into the TV.

    Pricey, but has many features that we wanted. Heavy and tall. Would have preferred speaker wire connections to be snap in rather than the insert and tighten knobs. Too much technology has advanced to have the same type of speaker wire connections to be the same as 60 years ago!!!

    I love this thing. I tried 2 other receivers before settling on this one. The HEOS app on your phone is great. It plays music saved to my phone, from pandora, from siriusxm, whatever. It puts out more power and volume than my wife lets me listen to. All the channels are adjustable.

    After two months, so far so good. My prior AVR surround unit died and I needed a replacement fast. Selected the Denon_AVR-S960H and have been very pleased. While not as warm sounding as the prior unit, the Dolby Digital and other features make me feel like I'm in the theater.
