Great receiver. Had accidental damage to my previous receiver that I bought over the summer. Best Buy Total Tech is well worth the extra money on larger purchases. I they were able to replace the receiver with a new unit. Since it had been 6 months and the model I had was no long available, they price matched the new more upgraded model. Once all hooked up and calibrated it is working great. Total Tech is definitely good for repairs or replacement as well as other great benefits on larger ticket items.

My old NAD amp died and I had to upgrade it. I was going to get a Denon lower in the range but used ChatGPT to match it with my Mission speakers and it warned that while movies and games would be great, musoc would not be brilliant. When I matched the speakers wirh this amp, ChatGPT said it would be a great combination. I can confirm that!
Amazing how much more it brings out of speakers I have owned for decades! And home cinema ia brilliant
Must have a subwoofer to rrally get the most out of it

I thought AVR S970H would be more powerful. I had an AVR 3313 for the last 9-10 years. Loved it. Thought newer models would be substantially better, new technology and all. Not the case for me. IMO. Easy setup, The Audyssey isn't good. I had to turn the volume up 65 in order to get decent power. I ended up doing a manual speaker set up. WHich was better. Still turn it up to high 60's low 70's for decent sound. My AVR-3313 volume at 50 was enough. Although the S970H sounds decent it's not as powerful as the 3313. Maybe because I had the same receiver for 10 years. Not used to the new one yet. We'll see. I can always take it back. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this. But i'm finicky.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hello. While the AVR-S970H offers very competitive performance and features in it's price range, it is a few notches below the AVR3313 in speaker-driving capabilities. The current version of the AVR3313 is the AVR-X3800H. AVR processing has come along way in 12 years, but Class A/B power amplifier technology hasn't really evolved much in 40 years - it has been very good for a long time.

Absolutely this sound system. The Wifi and Bluetooth capability allows us to connect to our wifi for radio and to our Smart TV for sound. All our devices from TV to gaming systems can connect to it and the sound is perfecf and clear. It also allows us to customize the title to the different connections to make it easy to switch.

I had an Onkyo setup 5.1.2 with Dolby Atmos, replaced with this receiver and the setup was very straight forward, the sound amazing and it seems to adapt better to modern movies where the voice sound has been becoming an issue as they keep on enhancing the loud sounds, with this receiver full Atmos mode achieved and voice can be heard clearly without losing the rest of the track.

Denon is the best by far and 2nd to no other band. If you truly value your home theater and want nothing less than a real movie theater experience Denon is the only way to go. We often think it's all about the speakers and overlook at what is equally important which is the receiver when it comes to quality, sound, and power. Denon AVR S970H I recommend 100%.

This receiver rocks! I own one of its big brothers and you can link them together in your house via wireless and have audio playing everywhere. This is awesome if you’re having a party and want to play the same tunes everywhere. The value is great and the feature set is awesome. You can even configure the receiver from a PC once you configure the wireless on it. It’s like programming a printer via its built-in web interface.
Denon receivers have more balls than Sony receivers.

I did a lot of research when I bought this and decided this was the one for me. I am so glad I purchased this because it makes my whole surround sound so much better than my previous receiver. It was easy to hook up and adjust and it looks great to. I got it on sale and it is worth every penny i paid. I would definitely recommend this and I would buy it again if the situation arises

The value of this was clear. I have a Denon running my video set up, and when my old Nakamichi died that ran extra speakers through the house and outside deck, I knew this would be the solution. I spoke to Danny @Danbury who was pretty young, but super knowledgable. He taught me to look at the back of the receiver and you will see the true power thats delivered per channel. This was double what a 100 watt yamaha at same price point delivers. And then it went on sale a week later, I started an online chat, and kinda instantly, they told me how to claim competitor pricing on the site, and poof, a $150 credit came my way. Lastly, I made a joke telling him Im only interested in McIntosh. He took me to the magnolia room and played an $80k set up. WOW that was a different level, but it demonstrated the quality of sound you get when you look at it per channel, because with McIntosh, thats what the gauges are for!. For the price, the S970h is a no brainer.
