Volume adjustment touchy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good unit, great sound on some older and smaller Klipsh speakers. Volume adjusting is either too fast or too slow depending on button hold down time... tough to find a nice middle adjustment speed.

Denon Review
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this as an upgrade to prior Denon i owned. This is awesome and my wife noticed that its alot louder and better sound quality. I mainly purchased it for the passthrough fory PlayStation 5 and xbox serious X. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a good quality receiver without the large price tag

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this receiver! Plenty of power and it sounds great. The interface is cool but the online music streaming could be better, it's kind of slow.

A Really Nice Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very pleased with this receiver. My older Pioneer died so I was forced to upgrade. It's great to be able to finally connect my Apple TV 4K through the receiver rather than having to go through the TV / ARC. I also have a Pioneer Elite LX305 in my basement and I would have considered saving some money and going with this in that room as well if this model had been available.

Great sounding unit!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This unit has awesome sound, and the Dolby Atmos works and sounds amazing. My only problem comes with listening to the dialog on movies and shows. The sound quality in that comes from the center channel is flat and a bit muffled at times. I will play with the sound and see if I cant add some some clarity and brightness to it. Otherwise, i am pleased with my purchase.

Outstanding Receiver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent .... simply excellent! I returned a Onkyo Tx-NR6100 and bought the Denon AVR-S970H instead ONLY because it had a better remote and DAC (32bit vs 24bit with the Onkyo). The sound quality is absolutely amazing!! I would have given this item a 5 star if it wasn't over-priced. However, what that said, I highly recommended this product .... especially for you Sony PS5 people like myself!

Great features, easy setup, awesome audio.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It has been a while since I purchased a receiver, but I needed one that included a 4K passthrough. This receiver really impressed me with the on-screen setup features, the integrated smartphone app, the sound quality, and the ability to seamlessly work with my television and my Apple TV. Admittedly, this receiver has more features than I will actually ever use. If you have a big format 4K (or even 8K) television and want great audio to match, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Great device, good pricing
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great amplifier. I planned on a Yamaha and went with the Denon. No regrets. I've hardwired with a 5.1 speaker layout with a 2nd zone. Im using SiriusFM, a cd player, turntable and Roku for streaming. It has an internal 8 band graphic equalizer. So far every item looks and sounds great. : )

Exceeded all my expectations
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a Denon that I thought was superior in every way and when it went down I decided on this AVR-S970H based on reviews here. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this purchase and the experience getting it from Best Buy, beginning to end it exceeded everything and now I am content with a receiver for years to come.

Just what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this to replace an older Denon that had started to die over the last few months and repair shop said it wasn’t worth fixing The new unit does everything my old one did plus a few extras for a decent price. Easy setup and better remote than the old ones and still has good power and clarity. Would definitely recommend
