I would recommend this to a friendAVOID DENON DEFECTIVE PRODUCT
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased X1200W 8 years ago and it worked just fine. Decided to upgrade to AVR-S970H and regretted about it 2 months later. One defect is that it loses signal randomly and another one is no sound unless denon replaces part. While denon and best buy are fixing hardware of AVR-S970H i have purchased X2800H. The first day I install it it started tandomly rebooting. While I am playing with this Japanese defective product I am browsing for better brands elsewhere. AVOID DENON DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

I would recommend this to a friendNot what I expected
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well... It's Denon, so it has that going for it. The user interface is kind of cryptic. It really seemed to compress music when the music has loud parts. Just not what I thought it would be. Ended up returning and getting the 1800.

Posted .Hello MrRT, First, thank you for your support and constructive feedback. I want to provide you with additional setup advice that applies to both the Denon AVR-X1800H and the AVR-S970H. Both receivers offer Dynamic Volume and Dynamic Compression features. In the service manual for the AVR-X1800H, please reference pages 155 and 164 for assistance with these features. Based on your needs, I recommend turning the Dynamic Compression feature off and setting the Dynamic Volume to Low. If you require additional assistance, please get in touch with Denon support at 800-497-8921.
Great Receiver, but
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver; works really well. The only reason I can't give it five stars is because after turning it off it occasionally turns itself back on. I've mentioned this to technicians, but no solution has been found. I have the very same issue with another Denon Receiver purchased two years ago. Not a problem if you remain at home but is a problem if you are leaving the house.

||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product overall. Only down side, it doesn't keep the output I'm on when I turn it off each time. I'm sure there's a way, but I should not have to search for a way.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far I am loving this receiver, I didn't pay full price which made it even easier to buy. I haven't found something that I dislike so far, the only thing I think could be improved is the on screen menu to add more details about each setting for those who are not pros.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this item to replace a 40 year old Pioneer receiver. The new unit is a bit low on the bass output to my floor cabinet speakers. Note, i am not using a subwoffer as my speakers have 10" woofers. I do like the multiple input options and a zone two for speakers located in a separate room.
I would recommend this to a friendHappy with the upgrade!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed to replace a Pioneer AV unit that was failing, and this fit the bill.
I would recommend this to a friendGood receiver but spec is a little inaccurate.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver itself is good, however, the full specs defined by Best Buy say that it has a satellite tuner built-in, however, that is not the case. You must use the HEOS app from your phone or use SiriusXM from your phone via bluetooth or airplay. I verified this with Denon directly.
