Not 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.
Everything you need!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to surround sound my streams but couldn’t figure it out until Geek Squad showed me the way. This AVR does everything I need it to with so many connections. I’m using my old AVR as my xtra speakers with connections back to the original AVR hookups of DVD, phono and DVR!! Love it!

||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.

Overall quality is good for the price
|Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a lot of very nice features after a lot of time putting together a system this is a good option and my least favorite thing is how slow the processor is for navigating the menu or typing a password, yes i know its a reciever and doesn’t need to be ultra snappy but it would be nice if it was a but faster

Great Receiver

I would recommend this to a friend 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 .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

||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.

||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.
