Great receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up, very intuitive. Sound quality is great and it coordinated perfectly with my previously set up speaker system. Room to grow into more advanced systems as well. I did have some issues with coordinating with the TV but that was resolved and seemed to be more on the TV end.

Awesome Receiver !
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this receiver for almost 2 years now. The sounds is truly amazing, especially when you calibrate the speakers to the room settings. My last receiver was a Sony. Sorry Sony, Denon is my choice receiver.

what an upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I upgrade from a Pioneer LX301. WOW what a step up. I love it. The sound is a huge upgrade. I also found it easy to use. the only reason I'm giving it 5 stars is because it does have the HDMI 2.1 bug. (most receivers released in 2020 that support 4k/120 or 8K/60 have this issue.) They are sending me a box to help resolve it for free.

Awesome Denon AV system
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this Denon AVR to set up a home Man Cave Theater and Sports viewing room. System is fantastic and set it up with a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos speaker set up and a OLED TV.. Sound and features with this system are incredible. Love the power and options. Can contol it with my phone for music or easily from the remote.

Nice AVR!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Replaced my 20 year old Yamaha with this Denon and could not be happier. Super easy to setup for my media room configuration. Sound is better balanced than I was able to achieve before. Remote is much less complicated too. It has enough power to handle my old classic air suspension Advent’s, but I believe less potent than the old Yamaha RX-V800 it replaced. Probably a good thing since I once blew my cone seals playing Najee too loud.

Nice upgrade so far
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I only gave it 4 stars because I haven't had the unit that long. The connection and set-up were easy.. I upgraded from my 10 year old Denon and now my man-cave sounds like an IMAX theater. So far so good, I'm happy with the purchase.

Solid.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great sound and simple to use once you figure it out. The apps are pretty much garbage though and haven't been updated in 5 years. Not that it matters since they don't work anyway. But I have no need for another app clogging up my phone, so the receiver and remote work just fine.

DENON receiver Great buy!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver! I bought this to go along with my new TCL 6 series as my old Denon did not have the newer HDMI which is required with the TCL TV. The sound is amazing with Definitive Technology surround sound speakers! They're older but still sound great!

Exactly what I needed.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver for the price. Replaced an old samsung sound bar and subwoofer. This powers my new Klipsch speakers great. Set up is super simple as well. The Audyssey set up helps get things perfect.

Good performing and 8K future proof
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you are in the market for a mid range A/V receiver and want to get the latest technology, this is the one to get. The 8K support sold me, even though I don't have an 8K TV, and don't plan on getting one any time soon. It's just nice to know I won't have to get a new receiver when I do get an 8K. Setup is really easy, if you just want to get it up and running. I have not even touched the surface of all the features this has, but again, they are there for when I want or need them later. The build quality is not quite as good as higher-end Denons, but that is to be expected at this price point. Oh, and it sounds great!

Nice, but not great
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Receiver is great till you decide to switch HDMI on the fly. Few issues/downfalls i noticed after i got it home. - HDMI switching has some issues, does not work smoothly, have to try multiple times. - For Zone 2, you are limited to 5.2, defeat the purpose of getting 7.2 channel speaker - After the first update to the receiver, no voice, till i reset the receiver. Overall, I really like the sound quality. I purchased it to replace my 8 years old Yamaha that recently stated giving some issues, but i had to return this and wait for a better one or till Denon fix these issues.

Worth the extra money
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver. 4k pass-through works with HDR. Setup is extremely easy and idiot proof. It recognizes whatever attachment is sending in a video signal and switches accordingly. Bluetooth and apps work great.

Solid receiver with lots of options!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works as it should. Have 7.1.2 Jamo speakers hooked up and they all sound great - crisp, clear and loud. I still have a little trouble getting the app to work though. I use the 8k HDMI for my PS5 that I can use for 4k 120hz gaming.

Denon 7.2 Ultra 8k HD receiver
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After having two Sony 750w receivers go bad on me, I decided to try Denon. Very satisfied with my decision. Power is great, sound is great for both music and movies. Not hard to set up at all. Would purchase again.
