    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

    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.

    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.

    i have receiver with polk r700 towers. Amp unit runs strong so volume output is very noticeable. Bass is punchy and drives 8-inch woofers well. However front part of chassis gets hot on top vent of unit. This denon replaced yamaha A6A i returned due to sound output issues.

      Hello, I want to express my gratitude for your purchase and extend a warm welcome to the Denon Family. The AVR-X3800H has an HDMI board and multiple amplification channels, which may cause the unit to generate some heat. It's advisable to maintain a six-inch clearance at the top of the unit to ensure proper ventilation. If you require any assistance with your new unit, please don't hesitate to contact one of our Customer Support Team members. Denon Product Support: 800-497-8921
      Thank you denon

    I think this is a really good one but the only reason I marked it for 3 stars as initially it didn’t work and t3ch support had to come out twice to resolve the problem. I think it was an I install issue but everything is working now. It is a little pricey though.
