    We have had the Geek Squad out at least twice to adjust the sound and communication through our speakers. It is a bit complicated for our use. This last time we were told not to even use the Denon remote and just use the volume control on the TV remote.

    I think this is a really good one but the only reason I marked it for 3 stars as initially it didn’t work and t3ch support had to come out twice to resolve the problem. I think it was an I install issue but everything is working now. It is a little pricey though.

    Does it all! This is the center of our entertainment system and we use it for video gaming, phonograph, computer and the television. Switches well, tons of ports to connect everything. Provides good sound for our advanced speakers.

    It is doing what I was looking for. Being able to listen to music in Zone 2 from any music App whether watching a TV program in Zone 1 or not. It was expensive, but I was able to price match and by it for less. Less expensive Receivers just cannot do the above.

    What happened to customer service?

    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.

    This is one of the best AVRs out there, and it works with DIRAC live. The only thing to note here is that if you plan to use this with 11 channels, you are going to have to use the pre amp outputs for at least two of them and pair it with an external amplifier. Overall this is a great AVR
