    I purchased this as a 4k replacement for my older Onkyo receiver that was beginning to go out. I upgraded to a 4k version so I could take advantage of my new 4k tv, and the 4k Apple TV I use for content. Hook up was easy, as well as the setup. I cannot say for sure that I notice a massive difference in audio quality, but then again my old receiver was awesome too and I had no complaints about the audio anyway. My only gripes with this unit are that I wish the input names were customizable so I don't have to remember which one is my Switch and which one is the X-box. Also I think the remote is clunky and cheap feeling. I expected a better remote from Denon and this one falls flat.

    The unit has great sound and was very easy to integrate into my current setup (replacing a 20 year old receiver) However, it randomly turns on from BT connection from my phone which is annoying

    This receiver is a workhorse for the price. It's easy to set up and easy to switch between devices. The cost really speaks to more bang for the buck. Very happy with the purchase and highly recommend.

    Needed an AV receiver for a place i am staying at part time. Tried using an old stereo no go. Have a higher end Denon so figured get this budget model and i am very happy. Easy setup, just follow the directions. Easy to hook up other items like tvs and dvd/cd players. I am very happy that i went with the Denon. Would also like to give a shout out to the young fellow at BB that gave me information on a few AV receivers and listened and gave feedback on what i was thinking i need. GREAT BB employee.

    The set-up is rather extensive and complex, plan on it taking a couple of hours. However, when complete, it's has wonderful sound and plenty of power for a medium sized room.

    The receiver is easy to use and works great. It was easy to set up and configure. We have added speakers and a subwoofer over time and it was easy to reconfigure each time.

    This is a great a/v receiver. It shows a bar graph on the tv screen of the sound which is nice. It has hookups for all of my equipment with hdmi connections. The sound quality is very nice.

    Very good budget 4K receiver. I'm upgrading from a 5 year old AVR1613 which was great but since I got a 4K TV I had to resort to ARC in order to get both 4K and surround sound (not TrueHD or DTSMA). Very easy to setup too.
