This 8k receiver gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Very user friendly and easy to set up. Very pleased with the dialogue enhancement. Purchased mainly for home theatre and highly recommended for that purpose. Plenty of power for our large room.

Possibly the best of the mid tier AVRs IMO

Easy to setup, easy to use (IF you use the app) and sounds great. Perfect for a middle ground AVR. I use it to drive a 5.1 setup and a Zone 2/B. Allows different sources and the phone app makes management of the receiver super simple.
Pass through of 4k at 120Hz is supported and works great, so it will support the latest consoles connecting to a quality display without issue.
Much better than the Sony I had previously and as good as the Onkyo and Yamaha I had before that.
I only ding it for ease of use because without the APP, good luck.

Purchased to replace older (over 15 years) Yamaha receiver. Noticed a much cleaner and better sound than my old Yamaha, but this may be due to latest technology. Easy to balance using microphone. Glad I made the purchase.

Wow. The Denon receiver is one of my best purchases I have made lately. The calibration program for the surround system speakers is incredible. The speakers I have have never sounded as good as they do, now. I love my "new" surround system!

Outstanding Performance! Zone 1 runs our 5.1 surround sound system and zone 2 can blast the game outside on the back patio while I grill same channel or separate music from zone 1 in the house.
Excellent sound…

The Media Specialist recommended this unit for us. We have a small den (12’x14’ w 8’ ceilings). It’s a step down from their larger unit but has the same features. Purchased this unit replace a 15 year old Bose system. This unit is fairly easy to use. Produces crisp sound. It allows for multiple zones (inside and outside). We were able to use our existing wired Bose cube speakers and outside Bose speakers. Can control all through Denon’s HEOS app. Disclaimer Geek Squad installed. I printed out the online manual and with Geek Squad’s assistance I was set up to meet all of our needs. I would purchase again.

Very nice receiver, using it for 7.1 surround setup, watching movies and listening to music. The movie watching like local cable and 4k streaming and 4k movie cd with dolby atmos/dolby vision. The dolby atmos and DTS works well on the AVR. Make sure you have the right cables. I also use this receiver for streaming apple music(airplay), works great and sounds great. I am not using the video pass through , i have this setup from earc(AVR) to earc(4k tv). So i can't tell you about the 8K upscaling.

Best Best Buy purchase I’ve made in several years. I had made up my mind that I was going to get the one that was 850 bucks, then the kid that was working talked me into getting the one that was over $1000… But another one came in and said you don’t need all that, this is exactly what you need… $669. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about in this receiver, streams my Apple Music, Spotify music, Amazon prime music and all the rest. I went out and bought the kid a gift certificate for dinner I was so impressed with his honesty. He was right, this is everything you need to have amazing theater sound as The best hub for all of your music. Could not be more impressed. The loyalty BEST BUY just bought from me it’s nothing short of thrilling.

I should have replaced my receiver months ago. This Denon has improved the picture quality on the TV, improved the sound quality and allowed me to tune in to radio!

Had another brand that promised 120Hz, in the end I was supposed to ship it back for a new board if I wanted it to work. The box on the old unit said it only needed a future firmware update, and it's on my floor now and will be fine in my garage. This unit (Denon) literally makes the old one sound awful. The surround is amazing! The 120Hz pass-through and even upscaling is remarkable. Easy setup, incredible separation. I have not found anything on this unit I do not like. The sound is comparable to much more expensive units. VERY PLEASED!

Very good receiver at a good value with ability to handle 8k when the tech is actually accessible. Unfortunate everything isn't even accessible at 4k yet. Just a few DVDs.

Love it. Great piece of equipment. Makes my infinity speakers do things i never thought they could do. Just, too much technology stuffed into it.
