Excellent sound for music and movies
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the box is the sound bar, subwoofer, wall mount template, wall mount spacers, power cords (2), HDMI cable (4K), optical digital cable, remote control with batteries pre-installed, quick start guide and safety instructions. First Impression, I am glad that the sound bar comes with buttons on the top, the remote already has the batteries installed and the subwoofer is Bluetooth. I am also glad that the cords were included, I basically opened the box and installed everything at one time. I installed with the HDMI eARC cord and started with movies and I am loving this. The lightsaber, hammer, Bruno and the Dreamettes sounded amazing! I did have to turn up the sound bar pretty loud but the all of the different settings allowed me to hear the sounds crisp and clear. (Please note, the sound bar volume is numbered because of the volume on my television. To watch movies, I did turn the volume to 75 out of 100 and it was movie theater loud sound. To stream and watch live tv, I would play on 35 to 40 and streamed recorded tv I had to turn up louder to 50 to 60.) The bluetooth setting worked great as well. I connected to my phone via Bluetooth and used my music app to play literally every genre and beware, you may hear sounds in the music that you haven’t heard before. I played classical piano and it felt like I was in the room with the instrument. I am also glad that I was able to adjust the sounds with the dialog enhancer. On movies, depending on the type, I would use low and mid and music I switched between all three. (Low, Mid, High) There is also a movies, night and music button. There is also a pure button and bass. (The pure button is to enjoy high quality sound that is faithful to the original source.) I did push this a couple times and noticed a difference in the sound. (The night button compresses the dynamic range (difference between loud and soft sounds) to make audio easier to hear at low volumes.) Overall, the only negative for me so far is the indicator lights on the front of the sound bar. Each color of light tells you the mode and the instruction manual lists what they all mean. Would I recommend to friends and family? Yes!

Good value
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good value for the cost. The sound is an upgrade for the tv speakers but the bass is a bit lacking. Again, for the price it’s sufficient but for those looking for a deeper rumble for your subs, you may want to look for something else.

Loses connection

Stay away from Denon
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Our wireless connection stopped working after a few years. Warranty was for two years. Called Denon, they said the systems broke, and nothing they can do. We spent a grand on soundbar and sub. Complete waste.
