    A great upgrade to S760H. The bass is refined and has little clarity to the details. The UI is far better than the older versions. So far happy with the performance.

    Worst purchase I every made I'm going to stick with Yahama next time. Easier setup and allows passthrough of all sources and HEOS is horrible can't get Sirius XM to work even with Denon tech support

    This receiver is a good deal. I purchased this to replace my Yamaha which would not power on anymore. And I think between the two this is a better option..

    My old Yamaha receiver died. I bought this one as it’s on sale. And this is awesome. Easy to connect. Denon is one of the best in connectivity. Plenary of hdmi.

    Great receiver and sound. Takes a while to set up but nothing too difficult as I had an older Denon, so we essentially just switched out the wires.

    Works as it should. Going online for the installation manual isn't the best way. Miss the paper manual. Hope this newer one last longer than my previous one which was only 5 yrs old.

    I need more time, the manual is quite large and I haven't been able to absorb the contents fully. Unit is not listed in Directv compatibility to program remote.
