Good receiver but spec is a little inaccurate.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendGood but no bluetooth video.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

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

Posted .Hello. We appreciate you posting your review of the AVR-S970H. We recommend checking to make sure you have CEC (HDMI Control) engaged. This link explains how: https://manuals.denon.com/AVRS970H/NA/EN/GFNFSYkfayrqor.php If that doesn't solve the issue, to try doing a soft reset (unplugging from it's power source for at least 5 minutes) and checking to make sure you have the latest firmware for smooth operation.

Worst purchase that I made !
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

I would recommend this to a friendBest Purchase Ever!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great receiver, couldn't have made a better choice, Best Buys Staff members were instrumental in pointing me in right direction , highly recommend this product to other!
I would recommend this to a friendGreat buy!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendReceiver A++
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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..
I would recommend this to a friendGreat value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
I would recommend this to a friendThis is beast
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
