    Although I just purchased this item I am excited to begin to build my home stereo system with this receiver. It provides the ability to build up to a complete surround sound experience.

    I wasn't familiar with the brand but I am extremely pleased. The extra surround from a normal 5.1 is well worth it for a better experience in sound.

    Overall a realy good reciever. I needed to set it up a couple of times after the initial setup. Sometimes it cuts to the main menu. That can be annoying. It does sound excelent through my klipsch speakers.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I upgraded from a 5.2 to a 7.2 receiver. I had a really hard time hookung up the tv to the receiver. I eventually figured ot out, but i thought it works have been much easier switching then out, but it wasn't. Helpful hint, use the HELP menus, it will tell you that's its not hooked up correctly and tell you what to look for. Anither recommendation is to use utube fir additional information. I love klipsch, but they need to prove more information on different connections because it works make the hookup less painful. Also, it shoukd be 7.1 because after i connected 5 celing soeakers and 2 standung klipsch soeakers, it only show 7.1 instead of 7.2.

    This receiver represents the upper end of Denon’s ‘consumer’ level units. Denon manufactures many units costing FAR more. I use it in a 5.1 setup consisting of BIC America speakers including a 12” powered subwoofer. Setting up modern AV receivers can be a bit complex. The Audessey process is pretty good, but, for me, resulted in a bit of a flat sound. Tweaking the bass and equalizer settings was required. I spent a lot of time reading expert recommendations. So far, I have found it to be an acceptable unit for the cost, even if I’m not wildly enthusiastic about it.

    Pretty nice. Has Atmos and vinyl preamp. Good power. Much better than 2019 Onkyo 696. Can probably do anything you want. Only downside is sometimes it randomly turns back on for a few seconds after I shut it down.
