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

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.

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

Love the sound - Audyssey room EQ is superior. Also really like the Bluetooth transmitter for outdoor parties. Very worth the upgrade from past Yamaha and Onkyo receivers.

This is such an improvement over my old equipment. I love the clarity of the sound and while I'm still learning the different audio modes, I find it pretty easy to move around without getting lost. This was at the top end of my budget, but I'm glad I stepped up.

Hello Subbu. We appreciate you taking the time to review the AVR-X3800H. Great to hear it is proving to be a worthy successor to your Anthem AVR. Thank you for choosing Denon.

Setting it up is not as easy as it looks it has good sound. I would recommend this receiver for Home theater and family members Bluetooth.

Great 4k/8k pass through for trust picture quality. This device is great for recognizing the best potential or of your existing high end speakers and the fundamentals of your brand tv. I would buy again! Easy setup and walk through. I have owned Sony and Pioneer Elite high end receivers in the past and this offers the biggest bang for the buck with the latest technology available!

I had an older model and this one is much more powerful, I'm still learning all features. But I 'm a bit bias, since I love the brand.

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!

Hello. We're pleased to hear you found what you were looking for in the AVR-X3800H. It is a model we are particularly proud of.

I did a lot of research and this unit works awesome as a processor and you can use any set of amps for 7.1. The only downside is it does not have pro audio hook ups.

Great surround sound with plenty of power! Love the Helios app
Beamer Posted
A big upgrade from my x4400. Sound UI is a big upgrade.

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.
