Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Denon AVR-S770H is a 7.2 receiver that strikes a compelling balance between performance, features and value especially for those upgrading or building a mid range home theater setup. Pros: Excellent value for its feature set Easy setup and intuitive interface Strong streaming and smart home integration Cons: No backlit remote (a minor gripe for some users) Denon is a smart pick for users who want immersive sound, cutting edge video support and seamless streaming all without breaking the bank. It’s especially ideal for cinephiles, casual gamers and music lovers looking to modernize their setup.

Outstanding receiver that exceeds my expectations. Easy and quick to set to set-up. I had my hubs, sound, and controller as functioning seamlessly within 20 min. The sound quality was excellent for music and once I fine-tuned the center speaker was good for dialogue during movies (initially had trouble hearing with surround sound settings but was able to easily tweak) Highly recommend as quality system at a reasonable cost.

Excellent as long as you do the calibration correctly! Great sound separation. However after 3 days it bugged out and would not shut off so I had to pull the outlet plug but it was fine afterwards! The speaker you have will be the true difference.

Did the job, easy to setup and easy to use :) Can’t even count how many demons I’ve bought and will cont to buy!

Great Sound, Excellent Decoding System and Crystal Clear Sound All In A Small But Tough Denon Receiver. Would Buy Again.

Bought this receiver to replace an old one. Works great and very easy to install. I have it attached to six surround sound speakers. Works great. Have it connected to speakers, cable box, TV and blue ray player.

Love this Denon product . This is 2nd Denon Amp I have bought in 20 yrs. The sound is very clean . The system practically sets its self up. Internet radio , FM, phono input, Thumb drive input . What else do you need for playback options…and a ton of HDMI inputs .

Great unit except look at below advertisements pasted on lower right front .How do I get them off without scratching the AVR ?? I'm would like to return for one with out the decals. None of your store pictures show them

The receiver was excellent and i was able to hook up effortlessly with the guidance of the sales rep...

Great receiver. Using in a small room. Lots of great features.

Needed a receiver that could accommodate 7 speakers. This receiver fits the need.

We like the sound. The nuance of instruments is noticeable and dynamic. Separation of channels is good. Now the bad. Owned it for less than two weeks and had to call Denon tech support because the Setup Menu would not display on the TV. This issue was resolved by unplugging the unit for a while and letting it reset. Now (after less than a month of ownership) we are having an issue with the video. The picture would stay on for a few seconds, then go black, then back on and off again. The pattern just kept repeating itself every time we shut down the system and rebooted. We tried unplugging the unit for 30 minutes to reset, but had the same result. We isolated the issue to the receiver by changing cables, then hooking the source directly to the TV. After the AVR being unplugged for two days, it is kind of working again. When booted up, it may or may not produce sound or picture. Very frustrating!

Sounds fantastic. Easy to use, nice on screen set up. I bought this for the multiple 8k/120hz inputs. PS5 and Xbox here we come!

I think this is a very good product the connections are labeled an easy for speaker wires and wireless hookup. But, easy ends there, the online manual isn't that helpful as far as explanations of what does what or what to do for sound improvement. I am still trying to find EQ settings as it appears they are all preprogrammed channels and no manual adjustment for EQ, Just playing around with it I got it to sound pretty good. But it took a lot of time and reading & tweaking to get there. The remote is only useful for sound as it didn't integrate with the TV remote ? I need to do more research and tweaking. To arrive at it's optimal performance parameters.

Denon is a great company. Have always wanted a Denon receiver, and finally broke down and bought one. However, I find that the receiver does not play well with Samsung TV products. I have had to upgrade all my HDMI cables, which did solve a few problems, but the TV and receiver still do not play well together, I love the Bluetooth option and the fact that it connects to my Wi-Fi. It has beautiful sound, and I love the Dolby Atmos features as well. I can play music straight from my phone or computer to the receiver. Overall a great product. But if you own Samsung TVs, I would definitely do your homework before you buy a Denon product to hook up to it unless you’re willing to deal with all the little hiccups. 

This is a great receiver, so easy to setup with plenty of hdmi plugins. They supplied labels to put on all of the speaker wires and wires for cd/dvd player, turntable and other accessories. Instructions were so easy to follow, even I got it right the first time. The receiver sets up the speaker outputs with sound tones for each speaker. The first dvd I played was the Matrix and WOW!! My 30year old Bose speakers sounded fantastic, I had the house shaking. Yeah, so was my wife, had to turn it down. Next time. Absolutely buy this receiver.

I've been rocking this for about 3 months now. The first 2 months after setting it up, I could go into the menu and it would be super, super slow. Then I would exit the menu and re-enter it and none of my settings would have saved. I kept putting up with it until finally it stopped letting me adjust the volume. It was all the way up or all the way down. No beuno. So I had to do a factory reset. Since then, it seems to be working significantly better. The menu is responsive and things save when I change them. The volume control works now too. The unfortunate part is I had to ALL of the setup again. That was 2 hours wasted. For the cost of these things, they should really work much better than they do.

This is an awesome receiver! After owning a Sony receiver for over 15 years (which was considered budget-friendly state-of-the-art at that time), I recently decided to upgrade. So I did some research. I looked at Sony, Yamaha, Pioneer, and Denon. I settled on this Denon, seeing that it was a bit more powerful than my Sony and gave me expansion potential from my 5.1 speaker setup to 7.1 or 7.2 speakers. It also had a built-in pre-amp for my turntable, which my previous receiver lacked. Add to all of that the Dolby specs and the numerous HDMI and optical inputs as well as some RCA inputs and I am a happy musical and cinematic audiophile! It also has Denon's HEOS multi-room wireless capabilities for streaming throughout your home. I can heartily recommend this receiver. Feel free to look at other receivers; Denon has some with more speaker potential, for instance. But if you're looking for a high-quality system for 5 or 7 speakers, you can't go wrong with this one. I gave it 4-stars on ease-of-use only because it has so much it can do, I'm still adjusting to it. But it *is* a very good system.

I've only had this receiver for several weeks, but I am extremely happy with what I purchased. Set up was easy and the results were outstanding.

Easy to use. Great sound. Glad we added it to our home system.
