What happened to customer service?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited to finally upgrade after many, many years with my current receiver. The new Denon worked great, sounded great with my new Klipsch speakers, for 19 days until the network error. This must be somewhat common as it was easy to find the 2B02 error online. BuyBest was completely useless because the unit is outside of the 15 window and I did not purchase the expensive extended warranty. This was extremely disappointing since I have been a long time BestBuy customer and credit card holder. Denon is going to honor their warranty but it does not look like shipping is included for the return to the service center. I think all future purchases for electronics will be through Crutchfield since the customer experience and customer service has been top notch. In fact, I should have purchased the receiver through Crutchfield since it was the same price but I was impatient and deceived to pick it up at a local BestBuy store. This has become a painful and expensive reminder that customer service is dying.

Wrong item
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 3800h and received it next day, ran all my new speaker wire and mounted some rear speakers, opened up box and notice it wasnt in plastic, then notice it looked different then in picture, model on item showed 3700. Either someone at best buy pulled a fast one or someone put a refurbished one in a new box and i was the unlucky one to puchase. Best Buy Phone customer service was excellent which is why i put 3 stars, when i receive right receiver ill rate either 5 or lower depending on actually item. Im coming from a denon S960. Unfortunately i already unhooked it and not trying to plug everything back up

IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Atmos
|Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this receiver for the IMAX enhanced and Atmos options. The most bang for your buck. Upgraded an older Denon and so far more than I could ask for.

Excellent performance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was easy enough, albeit tedious to set up the hardware, but well worth it to enjoy its performance. I did have to turn off the hardware control on my SONY Blue Ray player to resolve some conflicts.

Receiver Review
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great except occasionally it’ll turn back on after I turn it off, then after about five seconds it’ll turn off again…

Posted .Hello. Thank you for your review of the AVR-X3800H, and your feedback. It isn't possible to be certain of the cause of the symptom you describe without trouble-shooting, but the first thing to consider with resolving the issue is following this sequence in the on-screen menu:
Settings > Network > Network Control > Enter > Off In Standby.
If you are still experiencing this symptom, I suggest disengaging CEC (HDMI Control) in the AVR-X3800H and it's connected devices.

Receiver is Complicated Computer With Glitches
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The receiver is now a computer. You can no longer just hook it up and it works. The settings are a challenge to get right. The interface is frustrating. The automated set up would not work, unless you already had it hooked up and working. (?!?!) The manual (300+ pages) does not make sense at many points. For example….it took me 45 minutes to do the FM/AM presets. It is almost easier to get the the right area and then just play with the remote/interface and learn it as you go. The worst thing was the speaker configuration settings. So complex it took me four hours to get the system to recognize the back surround speakers. The trick is that you must select that you have side surround speakers (even though they do not exist) in order to get the option to have back surround speakers. Also note the sound types on the colored buttons at the bottom of the remote. You might need to set them every time you change inputs. Generally, it could use more power. Plan to spend hours every weekend for a solid month to get this receiver fully up and running.
