    Amazing sound - easy to setup, used to be a Sony devotee, but this is the ideal receiver.

    Just okay - using it mostly for surround sound

    Bought this with a new LG TV. * The eARC/CEC functionality between these two is terrible - takes several minutes if it works. * I can't (or haven't found how to) EQ the overall sound as there is no treble/bass knobs. * I tried the 8K upscaler but it makes it look much worse than whatever source is provided. * Because the new tv has all the streaming apps built in - this AVR is really just for sound. Most of the bells & whistles go unused in this receiver. * My predecessor Yamaha receiver is almost identical in functionality (without the latest Atmos, etc.) so I think any brand may have performed equal in my situation. To me its not much of an upgrade and I don't have any praises to sing for Denon, sorry.

    There’s everything any receiver could ever need. Pre outs for 11 channels and super clean audio and 3D audio performance. China is getting sanctioned so this product might not be available in the next few months

    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.

    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
