Customer Ratings & Reviews

This receiver is an excellent AVR in every way. It takes a few days to play with all the settings but once you get it set up, wow, what an upgrade. Enough power to drive our Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers. Highly recommend. We love it!

I bought the Denon brand new a month ago. I haven’t been able to use it. It hasn’t worked since geek squad installed the tv and receiver or remote . I’ve been getting excuses and delays from geek squad about my products. I paid cash for my products . I was billed for everything no discounts at all. My total tech membership elite does nothing for me. I was charged for my installation that wasn’t done correctly more than once I have to wait another month before I can use my products. It’s time to get rid of my total tech the benefits only cater to customers that need to use Best Buy credit cards. There’s more than one way to pay for products. I get no points and have to pay for everything seems like Best Buy has no loyalty to its customers based on how they pay. They have lost my loyalty as well.

The Denon AVR-X3800H 9.4 Channel 8K A/V Receiver is an excellent piece of audio equipment. The avr-x3800h drives my Emotiva XT2 towers, XC2 center and my 6 height/surround speakers without issue. Additionally, the 4 subwoofer outs provide plenty of low frequency effects as needed.

It works good but the graphical user in interface can be glitching and the arc port to the projector will sometimes turn the projector off for no reason the receiver is very dead and won’t fit all the way in my tv stand so keep that in mind

I chose this AVR as an upgrade to my Denon AVR-970 so I could run it as a 9.2 system. The set up is easy and the interface for their room correction software is much improved. The HEOS app and interface have also been revised and makes it so much easier to have multi room speakers. Haven’t tried to the second zone as it would require an additional amp to run given my configuration. Overall easy set up and sounds “cleaner” than the last Denons I have had in the past.

The unit seems to have an issue properly displaying 4k120 over the zone2 output which is slightly inconvenient for me. Could be a bigger problem for others. Also have had issues with Bluetooth audio dropping out constantly but picks back up instantly when I press the source button?? It's the weirdest glitch. Otherwise this unit is awesome and impressive and worth it if you can snag it with 2 year financing for 1200 bucks like I did. This seems to be the most value for a unit that supports 11 channel 7.4.4 processing to take advantage of the widest available home audio.

Bought this from Best Buy 6 months back. Enjoying a nice audio with a 7.2 configuration of my old speakers ( Polk audio) in my home theater. Easy to configure the speakers.

First off, thanks to my expert installation technician, Michael; he installed and setup my Denon AVR X3800h as well as Denon CD player 600 NE. Previous receiver and matching CD player component was on all day with little warmth. I’m impressed with the build quality for high end receivers. I took one star off from the increased heat from two hours of operation of this unit. Also, for the price point, Denon must make a backlit remote for all of its Denon AVR x3800h products. Overall, I’m immensely happy with my purchase of Denon products.

I really loved the receiver with my epson 5040 and other components like computer, 4K player, ps5 and others everything works great and even setup the 4 height speakers still new to add the middle for the voice of god as they call it. Now not so good with my Sony 295 4k for some reason I cannot video to work I get sound but no picture. If I just hook projector and ps5 works with video but no sound. Really stress about this it’s either a setting or maybe needs an update.

The receiver has a lot of power with lots of options. The new interface is a big upgrade and easy to use. I can’t wait to add an external amplifier with the pre outs that’s available.

Great product and quality sound . I highly recommend this receiver .

Denon X3800h, bought insread of RZ50, better features, channel seperation, dialogs clarity are nice, works nice with klipsch i have. Mid range on sound richness compared to my onkyo.

Sound quality is amazing the setup menu is great, only down side is if you have so many things connected the receiver automatically will turn on randomly, super annoying

Wonderful amplifier, has all the modern bells and whistles. 4k 120hz and 8k ready. 11.2 compatible and used old pioneer reciever as external amp to drive front towers. Purchased a vacuum switch to turn old reciever off and on with new reciever.

It is a Denon. It sounds like a Denon and has the flaws that all Denons does. The setup is easy and flawless with this new GUI. The only concern i have is related to the video output. When switching from my Tv to the projector, in almost all the cases, the image blinks 02 or 03 times, like trying to get a handshake from my projector or tv. This seems to be common on Denon projectors.

Operation is a bit complicated, sound is good, set up is complicated also.

Excellent sound. Settings are not the most intuitive and HEOS still is not compatible with ATMOS music.

I love it because it so easy to use and it's black

The ease of use and set up and instruction for a first time set up is great

I think this is a really good one but the only reason I marked it for 3 stars as initially it didn’t work and t3ch support had to come out twice to resolve the problem. I think it was an I install issue but everything is working now. It is a little pricey though.
