    Great little amp I am loving it works like a charm. Haven’t had a problem with it yet, and it definitely sounds better than any other Amp I have had in the past. This is my third Denon, and so far it plays music perfectly and movies.

    Denon - Guaranteed to Please

    I've been looking for an AVR to replace my failed unit. I made the mistake of buying a brand that was 'new' to the building of audio-video receivers, and paid a huge price. This time I went with Denon, who has been around for a long time, and knows how to build a product that is feature-rich yet reliable. This unit complements my 5.1 speaker set, a Quad L-ite system, and my OLED TV, so count me a happy camper. Yay, Denon!!!

    Working good ! Replaced older Denon that lasted 5 years. The older model seemed to heat up, but just in case this was an issue again I added 2 fans and a thernostat to the cabinet just to be safe.

    This amp receiver delivered the power needed to run my existing speaker system with very good quality sound. But it turned out I did not need it as my old unit was equal to this unit. Returned.

    I upgraded from an older other brand receiver to this for the 4k pass-through and Arc system. It only been too weeks and have no complaints. Setup is as easy with auto setup and can be adjusted with manual override. Overall very happy with this purchase

    The sound is much clearer with is receiver. Previously the music would overwhelm the people speaking so we are really pleased. The Geeks delivered it and got it all set up and showed us how to use all the features. All part of Total Tech!!!
