    I have had 3 of these receivers and nobody is skilled enough to set it up with geek squad. They break often with normal use.

    Very impressive reciever

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For our system this AVR was a big step up from the $300 Onyko it replaced. Like many of you we upgrade components as time and money allows. R We are running Klipsch 8" tower speakers and quqd 5" center speaker, 5" surround and back speakers, and three 12" Klipsch subwoofers. We also have a Bill Fitzmaurice Tuba HT with a 15" Dayton driver i built that can produce sound waves down to the 12 HTZ range. The Denon avr ROCKS it!!! It has 4 subwoofer outputs and it provides outstanding clarity and response. Great channel separation, you will hear individual sounds coming from the speakers, such as an electric guitar coming from the left tower while vocals come from right and center. Clearly im no expert here but the sound is amazing, all our friends agree and want to watch movies and music videos on our TV!

    Denon is the way to go.

    Denon, as always, knocking it out of the park. For it's pricepoint, prob one of the best receivers you can get. Capturing a full 9.2 surround, with easy manual or automatic set up. And when I had a question, Denon's customer support was excellent.

    Great Receiver with a 3 year warranty. Easy set up and lots of great features. The only thing i might wish for is an optical out port, but I can work around that. Highly recommended and future proof.

    Blown away by the features of the Denon X3800H

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This receiver replaced a worn out and old technology X7200Wa - which was Denon's Flagship 9 years ago. I could not afford the new Denon Flagship A1H so I took a look at the Denon X3800H because it was on sale for $1299.99. I am blown away by the capability and functions at this price point - the X3800H is loaded with new technology and works great

    Not compatible with Xfinity X1 cable box

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Sounds great with TV - pretty much useless for gaming. I bought the 3800 2 years ago as upgrade to older Denon 1600 unit. It had compatibility issue with Xfinity from day one. The unit causes my Xfinity cable box to crash and only a hard reboot can recover from the crash. Anyone familiar with Xfinity box will know that a hard reboot takes about 10 minutes to complete - so a major PIA. The crash is caused when switching between Xbox and Xfinity cable box. I had early call with Denon tech service - after several sessions, I was told that Denon could not resolve and maybe Xfinity would release an update to fix it. Now after 2 years of completely bypassing the AVR when using Xbox, I just tried again. Same issue. Xfinity has 15 million cable subscribers in the US. It's unbelievable to me that Denon released a product with this defect and after 2 years has not resolved it.

      I'm sorry to hear of your frustrations. As a suggestion for you, have you tried different HDMI cables? If you are not already, I recommend using a quality Ultra-High-Spped HDMI cable from a reputable brand like Audio Quest. I have not heard of any incompatibility issues with Xfinity boxes. For further assistance, please get in touch with our support team by calling,

    I bought the denon 3600 in 2020. Worked good at first then hooked up more speakers. Im running 9 speakers on a 11.2 receiver and burned up this receiver twice. If you like listening to loud music denon is not your reciever. It runs hot just turning it on, garbage.

    This unit has performed well although sometimes it turns itself on without touching the remote. Phantom like starting. Not sure if this a programming problem from Geek Squad.
