Customer Ratings & Reviews

Does a very nice job and is easy to connect. Paying slightly more to get the 90 watts/channel is worth it. Got this as a replacement for a failed 10 year old Marantz. Nice to be able to walk in the door and play whatever was playing from your phone in your car- instantly on the Denon. Sweet!

Great sound. Easy to set up. Excellent customer service from Denon to help with the final setup. Simple, easy functioning remote. Excellent value for the money.

The Denon AVR S970H has been a very powerful upgrade from our previous Denon receiver that was 20 years old. Though the previous had more Watts to push the convenience of the ARC connectivity has helped us utilize a great deal less remotes, practically down to just one, and now having the ability to use our TV's full audio potential getting surround sound on all streaming platforms making watching movies a much better experience! The receiver was worth every penny, and actually substantially less than my previous unit and is able to do more and deliver quality alongside ease of use and being future proof! Glad to have gotten the unit at a great price during the holidays, and grateful for the assistance from Best Buy in getting the item ordered.

This was recommended to me by a professional installer of home AV systems. Mainly because of its general quality, and higher watts per channel for larger speakers. I never go above 65% volume with my Klipsch 7.2.2 system, as it is very loud in the sound controlled room. The user interface is pretty basic, and the software seems old, but the reciever does walk you through set-up automatically so you should be fine. I can't say it was "easy" to set up, it was simple enough for me, but I don't imagine that someone who isn't somewhat well versed in AV gear would make it through without some instruction manual time.

I cannot recommend this receiver enough! I tried many other modern A/V receivers before I got my hands on the Denon AVR-S970H, and not a single one of those other receivers were capable of pushing my towers how they're designed to be. The performance the Denon AVE-S970H is capable of is unmatched at it's price point. Aside from it's amazing power capabilities, this AVR is very intuitive! The eARC HDMI 2.1 feature enables me to use my gaming consoles without limitation and control everything through the AVR via my TV remote. No more fumbling around with 2-3 remotes! I couldn't be happier with this AVR!

I have been buying Denon products for years but this receiver is, without doubt, the best I have ever had. It’s easy to set up and the Denon AVR Remote app makes changing sound modes and outputs so easy. The app is very user friendly and has options for everything you can think of. Very happy with this purchase.

I remember getting a Denon car stereo back in the early 80’s. I loved it…I wanted to get a Denon receiver before I hit the dirt. I finally decided to get one! I am not going to get technical, I’ll leave that to others. I can’t believe the clarity, power, and the many different ways you can tailor the sound. I got my system on sale but I think the price has increased. I would have bought it whether there was a price increase or not. I’ve been playing percussion and drums for over 56 years. This Denon receiver allows me to play along, keeps me young. YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH THIS RECEIVER! Especially in this price range. Soooo glad I have it.

Crystal clear sound with many options that will keep you busy with all the choices at your fingertips. Ultra explanatory manual with endless references and examples for you to try in your theater room.

I’m very happy with this purchase. Easy to set up and sounds great. It’s like having a movie theater in my house. Just wish it would turn on when tv is turned on.

I purchased my receiver as a replacement for another brand. My Denon receiver has worked seamlessly. The most time consuming part but worth it was using the microphone to setup room. Worth every minute because I listen to a movie or concert and it feels like I am there immersed in sound and movie.

Powerful and easy to use. I use it to control outdoor TV room.

Love my new receiver, but I'm still trying to figure out how everything works on it ,but besides that it makes the speakers sound great.

As I'm new to AVR systems. It was a breeze after the learning curve. Pleased with the quality and additional features for phono and cd players. Still exploring all that this little baby can do.

I used before Onkyo TX 646 was good for long time,and switch to Denon 970 av receiver,and I don't have any complaint.Denon is much better than Onkyo.

Excellent product. So far no issues. Best Buy Techs (specially Rob from the whitehall best buy) are amazing. I love being a total tech member and will continue to use best buy for all my electronic and appliance needs.

I'm absolutely blown away from this receiver!! I upgraded from a onkyo tx-sr703. This is a must buy and the picture quality and sound quality or fantastic!!!

Loving my new upgrade Dennon receiver. My sorround sound has come alive!

So many options for the value. I can play all my Bluetooth apps on my outdoor speakers.

Demon receiver AVR-S970H is the best receiver because it checks all the technology boxes.It has google assistant that you see in the right picture to turn on automatically by saying hey google turn on home theater.The HEOS is internet radio and an app for your phone and has music app pandora,Spotify,Deezer ,you need HEOS app to work with Alexa or google assistant.the receiver has odyssey for surrrond sound in the demon app you can change the perimeter of the sound.I had Best Buy total tech help set this up made it much easier then I did the tweek’s on the app.I bought my the fire stick 4K max to plug it into the back the receiver HDMI 4K 2.0 for higher resolution.this receiver up convert HD1080p to 4K making the picture sharper.

Denon receiver's have been in my home for almost 30 years. But quality and it lasts.
