    This replaced an aging Pioneer Elite receiver. I originally purchased another Pioneer Elite, but it quit working within two days. The BB sales associate recommended the Denon and I am glad I purchased it - tremendous sound - highs, lows and and surround. Very satisfied!

    The receiver came in good condition. Confusing at first, everything is working well after initial setup.

    Very disappointed with the performance of this receiver.Could only listen to a song and a half and the receiver would kick out on high temperature even though it was well ventilated and open area on top and bottom also had a fan for cooling and it didn’t help, so I would not recommend this receiver at all.
