    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!

    Been a great receiver. My 2nd Denon and they are built well and easy to set up. Needed 9.2 for my theater and this solved all my issues. Been very happy with this purchase and overall sound quality has seen a big bump up with more wattage per channel.

    Upgraded from an older Denon X1100. The difference was truly amazing. Currently running a 7.3 setup and the power output, frequency controls, and features of this receiver are truly a bargain at its price.

    Used it to control the existing speakers in a new place. Hooked up 8/10 speakers that were already installed by previous owners and the receiver picked them up very nicely and experience is fantastic. setup was very easy and quick.

    Very easy to set up, there is an onscreen script that gives step by step instructions. With its HDMI link functionality, one remote can control the receiver, an attached TV/projector and streaming device, (Apple TV etc). Does its job of passing 4K signal well.

    Amazing experience from the purchase to the install. Although they had to come out twice to figure out the issue Best Buy was able to install and make my surround sound work perfectly. This receiver is amazing once set up. I feel like I’m at the movies.

    This is my first upgrade in years and coming from a Marantz 5011 I have been very impressed. Being able to power my 9 speakers and have 4 independent subs is incredible. This unit was very easy to setup and I have enjoyed the Denon Iphone app. Next step will be to add an amp for 11.4!

    This receiver works very well. Smart enough to switch to the correct mode when different inputs are detects. Plenty of power for a full home theater system. Works well with KEF speakers. At the member sale price of $1200 it’s a great value.
