Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this from Best Buy 6 months back. Enjoying a nice audio with a 7.2 configuration of my old speakers ( Polk audio) in my home theater. Easy to configure the speakers.

Easy set up and sounds awesome. Using the 7.1 for tv room with zone two in the living room.

Always like denon and this item was no exception. Set up was very easy with step by step instructions. Great sound.

First off, thanks to my expert installation technician, Michael; he installed and setup my Denon AVR X3800h as well as Denon CD player 600 NE. Previous receiver and matching CD player component was on all day with little warmth. I’m impressed with the build quality for high end receivers. I took one star off from the increased heat from two hours of operation of this unit. Also, for the price point, Denon must make a backlit remote for all of its Denon AVR x3800h products. Overall, I’m immensely happy with my purchase of Denon products.

Great sound and features for the price. Plenty of power to drive most speakers.

I picked this up for a family member building out their first home theater. They wanted the room to grow out their speaker setup to 7.2.2, and wanted the option for the latest and greatest room correction software. If you're in this boat, keep reading. The X3800H hits a great price point, offering practically all the features of more expensive AVRs - even Dirac Active Room Treatment - currently exclusive to an AV processor that costs more than 5x more than this - will be coming to the X3800H by 2026 (at the time of writing). There's plenty of super clean power on tap, it's easy to set up, it sounds great, and the network-based control works perfectly. If you're not ready to upgrade to Dirac just yet, I highly recommend downloading the mobile app to give you more advanced control over the room calibration process.

Great sound and nice features. A huge improvement over AVR-X3700H. Go for it!

Great receiver, easy-to-use even for a non techie such as myself.The sound is incredible.Theater quality sound when watching video. Fantastic audio!!!

The Magnolia sales person was bery helpful in the purchase process. Installation by the Magnolia Tech went great! Very professional and thourough throughout the instal and during the instructional use review.

Great sound! Easy to control. Worth every penny I spent. Highly recommended.

Excellent sound and easy to set up. I have tried other brands and definitely Denon is an excellent choice.

After my previous receiver quit working, I needed a replacement. Following several days of research online, I decided on the Denon AVR-X3800H. In its price range, it received consistently good reviews from its owners. With its step-by-step guide, it was simple to setup my surround system, PS5, CD player, and turntable. I've only owned the receiver for a relatively short time, but, so far, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase.

Awesome interface, very intuitive. The overall looks screams high end. Very please with the sound quality, movies never felt so good.

I really loved the receiver with my epson 5040 and other components like computer, 4K player, ps5 and others everything works great and even setup the 4 height speakers still new to add the middle for the voice of god as they call it. Now not so good with my Sony 295 4k for some reason I cannot video to work I get sound but no picture. If I just hook projector and ps5 works with video but no sound. Really stress about this it’s either a setting or maybe needs an update.

Upgraded from a Denon AVR-S740h and the difference is night and day. I’m not sure if it’s the room correction or the increased power, but my theater has never sounded even close to this good. The app is bare bones but solid, connectivity is great.

Although it has a ton of features and compatibility with many audio and video formats for me the sound quality wasn’t really present specially at this price. I bought this unit along with the Marantz Cinema 60 that cost the same. After running the Audissey room corrections and testing different movies and music in different ways I can say the sound quality is good but not great, I didn’t feel like it was worth it’s price so I put it back in the box and installed the Marantz Cinema 60 which really made a difference. The sound quality of the Marantz in music and movies is very superior than this Denon. I’m happy with the Marantz I don’t recommend the Denon x3800h at this price.

Very nice system, high quality at a reasonable price, and simple to set up

Awesome sounding receiver. Setup was easy. Ive been a long time Yamaha person but this Denon has changed my mind.

I got this on sale to replace my older Denon 4311ci AVR in a 5.2 system in the living room. I have a X4800H in my theater running 9.4.2 setup, so I am familiar with Denon's AVRs. I was a little concerned that it is made in Vietnam and not Japan, like the 4800 (and most higher end Denon AVRs). Time will tell, but it has been great for the first week at least. I do intend to install some in-ceiling speakers in the living room bringing this to a 5.2.4 setup. I don't believe I will get Audyssey MultiEQ-X as I did in the theater with the 4800. That paid software allows you to really customize the calibration more thoroughly and accurately. With 4 18" subs in the theater, it is really important, but not as much in the living room with 2 12" subs for casual listening and watching TV. For a budget theater, this is perfect. Probably overkill for a casual listener. Denon does a great job with firmware updates, their frequently updated HEOS app, and the network app that lets you control it from a PC, tablet or phone. Works pretty great and I use the app to check the status of things periodically. I am not a gamer so can't really speak to that. Passes 4k HDR great if that's what you need. BTW, I still use the old 4311ci remote so that I wouldn't confuse my wife. Finally, I'll add that I have a homemade cooler similiar to the AC Infinity stuff you can buy. I made my own with computer fans, and it is very easy to do. I feel that having a cooler on it gives me piece of mind that if something does happen, it will not be because it overheated. In summary, well built and engineered. All the features you need for todays tech. Shouldn't have to upgrade for maybe 6-10 years.

The receiver has a lot of power with lots of options. The new interface is a big upgrade and easy to use. I can’t wait to add an external amplifier with the pre outs that’s available.
