Review: Great receiver - I needed to replace a 12 year old Sony receiver, spent over 2 weeks reviewing many brands. I finally decided on this Denon, was a little pricey for my budget but definitely the perfect decision. Top quality sound and solid built receiver. Set up was fairly easy yet time consuming but well worth it. I have a 7.1.2 set up in a medium size room, the surround and height speakers create a theater like experience. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to upgrade and not spend a fortune.
Review: Great product at a fantastic price. - I'm super glad I ended up buying the Denon. The sound is great and the eArc integration with my TV and DVD players is flawless (albeit rather complicated to setup). The number of HDMI ports is great. I haven't tried the phono input yet but it's inclusion was a major factor in deciding on this model; has both moving coil and moving magnet but you can only use one or the other; not dual phono inputs. The AM and FM tuner section works really well but I can get just about every station over the internet so why bother. I initially had it set up with the wireless ethernet but switch to wired through a switch since the TV and both DVD players also want an ethernet connection. I wish it had more RCA AUX ports for a VCR and cassette player. The audio balancing routine is a nice touch but set up the TV first as it's really difficult to navigate without the on screen prompts. The mic wire needs to be just a little longer for a large room. A USB C connection would be a nice touch but for $400 I couldn't be happier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound, great price
*by C***S on December 8, 2025*

Initial setup is straight forward...follow the on screen instructions and you'll be up and running in no time. Sounds quality is amazing! (Naturally, quality speakers are a must.) The first amp I've ever owned where the dialog enhancement actually works. Surround sound modes work really well, even when decoding OTA/streaming broadcasts. 4k pass-through is sharp and lag-free. Bluetooth pairing to your phone is easy and takes about 10 seconds. This is a quality amp for home theater use at a good price point.
