    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 .

    AVR-770H a mistake?

    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!

    Denon AVR S77OH Review

    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.

    Denon AVR-S770H Receiver

    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 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.

    The quality, sound , and features exceeded my expectations. If I had to find something negative about it I would say that maybe a little more info in the quick setup guide that comes with it , pertaining to connecting to existing TV might have helped. But not a big deal!

    My Onkyo TX-NR626 receiver unfortunately lost the 2 front main channels, so shoped and found this nice Denon for an average price. I heard Denon's positive reputation so I thought I'd upgrade. I've been absolutely disappointed with the sound quality. The sound is flat and just not as good as the Onkyo. There is no basic option to adjust bass / treble, the Audysee configuration seems to override any sound adjustments. I tried manual speaker configuration just isn't good. The dynamic volume is frustrating and just cant get much out of the center channel, even using the dialog enhancer and channel level adjust. More frustrating was pairing this with my Samsung QN65Q60CD and Roku Ultra, seems to have issues with video playback with YouTube TV using using eARC configuration. After a full week with various sound testing with YouTube TV, Blu-ray, streaming channels, the sound in not good. Unfortunately, it's been returned. My quest continues.
