    I'm not too tech savvy and first time adding an AVR to my TV. So far, it gives everything I need, and user manual was fairly easy to follow. Synched the remote to TV remote, added bluetooth to stream music from my phone. Good power to the stereo speakers. I also had to call Denon's customer service to walk me through some things, and it was pretty quick to get to an agent, and they were very helpful.

    This replaced a Denon receiver that was 20 years old and I fully expect this one to give me another 20 years of music. It was easy to set up and integrate with all of my other devices- wired and wireless- and the sound quality was amazing, especially for a modestly priced receiver.

    Receiver works and sounds great. Lots of customization settings to make it work for you. Good product. When turned up would rattle my windows with no measurable distortion. Definitely recommend.

    I bought this Denon AVR to replace old 20 year surround sound receiver. Boy what a difference. This AVR was easy to setup and now have it setup for 7.1 and sounds great. I got it on sale at Best Buy and I am very happy with my purchase.

    Great Sound/Small Glitches

    I bought this receiver to replace an older Yamaha, pretty much in the same price point, but Yamaha are harder to find right now because of supply chain. I moved to a much smaller condo and thought it was a good time to check out some of the new technology. This Denon sounds great and it was easy enough to use the Audyssey technology to set up the speakers. The problem I have is getting used to powering on/off and switching between inputs. The unit will randomly shut off or default back to cable/satellite when I try to switch inputs.

    Certainly! Here’s a 100-word review for a system speaker delivers impressive sound quality. The bass is surprisingly deep, and it maintains clarity even at higher volumes. Overall, this speaker is a fantastic choice for those seeking quality soun.

    Fantastic value and wow, this AVR brought my speakers to life! This unit supports all modern HDMI 2.1 features including Dolby Vision and eArc. Had to buy the $20 app but this is expected and allowed me to setup the Audyssey EQ perfectly. Only drawback is Denon's CEC functionality is terrible. CEC never works and when it does, it stops soon after and results in eArc loops and loss of video signal. I simply had to turn CEC off which is a shame. My old Onkyo's dating back some 20 years never had any problems with CEC. This would be a hands down 5 star purchase if Denon can fix their broken CEC functionality.

    The bomb, get this great price great sound. Love the Audessey setup and it comes with a cardboard stand to put the mic on. Was always a Yamaha fan for over 20 years, but you could only get Dolby Atmos and Virtualization if you pay alot more. With this AVR you get it all. Thanks Denon.

    Before purchasing this Denon receiver, I've always bought Yamaha. I've had Yamaha receivers for the past 20 years. But my Yamaha wasn't working properly and for my setup, the Denon seemed to be the best fit, so I gave it a chance. So far I'm very pleased and would recommend this receiver.
