    Upgraded from a 10 year old Denon AVR-X2100 that has been flawless, wanted more power and features. Literally disconnected the old Denon and connected the new one. Same wires, speakers and devices. After playing at normal volume for a few hours new amp tripped on Protection Mode. (Flashing power light). Contacted Denon support who said it was my speaker wires. After telling them it was same exact speakers and wires for 10 years they then asked if it was plugged into a power strip (it was). Told me to plug directly into wall, which I did. Protection mode again after a few hours. Called Denon back, next they said it was overheating, it is on an open shelf. Not overheating. Finally told me to reset to defaults, which I did. Protection mode again. Returned to Best Buy and ordered another. Received, connected, and Protection mode again. Returned 2nd one to Best Buy and ordered Yamaha RX-A4A, its been flawless. My old Denon still works great. I did like Denon user interface better than Yamaha, but its no good if the amp doesnt work.

      Hello, we are sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with our AVR-X3800H. We do understand how frustrating this may have been to have gone from a great experience with a previous model and to have this experience on a newer one. The flashing power light would indicate that there is an issue with the wiring that needs correction, our customer care team hopefully advised you to double check the wiring and connections to ensure everything was correct. With it happening to both units, the odds that both units were faulty would be very low. However, I am happy to hear that whatever the issue was, it was corrected with the Yamaha AVR. We do hope you grant us another chance in the future to showcase our dedication to our craft and the quality sound our devices can produce. If you ever have any questions, you can always reach back out to us and we would be happy to assist. denon

    We had another receiver that was about half the price and it had so many issues to include losing hdmi connection and cutting out while watching. We replaced with this one and this one has been smooth and a huge upgrade! Worth the money, don’t settle for cheap because the quality will definitely affected!

    There’s everything any receiver could ever need. Pre outs for 11 channels and super clean audio and 3D audio performance. China is getting sanctioned so this product might not be available in the next few months

    It is a Denon. It sounds like a Denon and has the flaws that all Denons does. The setup is easy and flawless with this new GUI. The only concern i have is related to the video output. When switching from my Tv to the projector, in almost all the cases, the image blinks 02 or 03 times, like trying to get a handshake from my projector or tv. This seems to be common on Denon projectors.

    Was so happy when i received mine. But had issues with the audyssey microphone for some reason it never got it to work or defective and never got to use it. The receiver worked nicely but i had to return on the store due to the mic issue and When i went to try use it and adjusting the subwoofer db it was showing 42db even when i turn volume up or down. it stay in the same db so i knew something was wrong because i had the system before in my older model but spending 1700$ for something broken? no thanks It sucks because this thing is a beast and i wanted it so bad. but scares me to just get another one after the issue even with latest firmware still never worked

    I am pretty tough on receivers having gone through at least 10 since 2015. I swap a lot when something starts giving me issues because there should be no issues with something this pricey. So far this thing is holding its own. I haven't tested the 8K as I don't have an 8K tv, but the 4K HDR looks great on my LG OLED.
