I use a Denon AVR-X8500H and it works great!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not recommend that receiver whatsoever as it has astoundingly little functionality and only has analog inputs (no video inputs whatsoever). You would get zero benefit from such an awesome TV using this receiver. And I'm a little dumbfounded at how you have this TV in your budget but are looking at a receiver that doesn't even have one single HDMI input. Depending on your video source(s), if you wish to channel your 4k content through your receiver (which I do), you MUST have a receiver that is HDCP 2.2 compliant. I had to swap out my Denon AVR 3313ci for a newer model (the 4400h) because I could not put my 4k blu-ray player through it or my 4k Roku player. It would not pass the signal to the TV because of copyright protection on 4k sources. If you do not have 4k sources then, again, I'm at a loss as to why you'd want to spend this amount of money on this TV or any 4k TV. Non-4k sources such as DirecTV, Dish Network, or cable can pass through legacy receivers to a 4k TV with no problem. The same for non-4k Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire boxes and the like. As soon as you upgrade to a 4k source, your HDCP 2.2 protocols kick in. There are many, many HDCP 2.2-compliant receivers from which to choose. It depends on your budget and your aspirations around a home theater. You can pay as little as a few hundred dollars into the thousands. Be very careful before investing in ARC or eARC as an option. That's a choice where you input all of your sources into the TV and then have one HDMI cable that sends the audio signal to the receiver. You will be restricted on which audio options can be sent to the receiver via the TV plus you'll have a gaggle of HDMI cables going into the TV. I strongly prefer routing all of my HDMIs to the back of my receiver and using its audio processor for Atmos and other lossless audio formats that come on blu-rays and 4k blu-rays. But you may prefer having all of those cables going to your TV. And, BTW, virtually any receiver will work with your speakers. But steer far and wide from this receiver if you are looking to pair it with a 4k TV. NakieJakie
