    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.

    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.

    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.

    Good so far. Seems kind of ridiculous that a receiver of this quality will not allow you to run bluetooth video through it, only audio.

      Hello, and thank you for your purchase. Currently, Bluetooth cannot support video streaming due to the continuous bandwidth required for this function. denon

    I really enjoyed the Denon Receiver for 30 months, but that all changed last Friday when my Receiver stopped producing sound. Now I am out $755, and I have to buy a new Receiver since it's past the warranty date. I am very disappointed with the Denon AVR - S970.
