I would recommend this to a friendWill be returning it
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feature rich but not the right fit for me sonically. Much too bright, even with warm speakers. Should have listened to the reviews but wanted to try it out for myself. Physical remote also feels cheap and the app is a bit laggy. I'm returning it for something else, perhaps the RZ50 or Cinema 50.

Go with the Sony ES
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had high hopes for this unit coming from an Onkyo that I had to return because of HDMI handshake issues. So I bought this reciver thinking it being a higher tier reciver and a Denon would not have any issues. WRONG this one has the same issues of the handshake with the HDMI. So this time i'm going with the Sony ES hopefully won't have any more problems.

Posted .Hello MarkA, thank you for your feedback. However, based on the information provided, there may be another issue in the chain. HDMI handshake issues can arise from various factors, including required firmware updates for the TV/projector and other connected devices, the length and quality of the HDMI cable, and settings within the receiver and other connected devices. Before returning the unit, we encourage you to contact our support team so we can help you find a solution. Denon's product support phone number is 800-497-8921. We look forward to hearing from you.

Bad app
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good quality sound but the app is worthless, there is really very little you can do with this app. Basically turn on and off the unit you cannot control individual speakers you cannot control the zones. I would not recommend buying this unit.

Awful store experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good except the Wi-Fi didn’t work despite Denon support efforts. Store experience was awful in attempting to get a replacement. Finally just got a refund and ordered another one from Amazon.
I would recommend this to a friendIncredible Receiver
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Denon makes a great receiver. I downgraded from the older 4500 to the new 3800 and it performs better that my old one. You can't go wrong with one of their receivers.
I would recommend this to a friendDefective unit and worse Geek Squad
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stop working correctly after only 3 weeks. Instead of Bestbuy just replacing it, they sent it out for service. They should have just replaced it after only 3 weeks old.
