    Freaking awesome! Replaced a Denon bought in 2001 that just hasn't kept up with the times. It does everything i want it to. Better models have more bells and whistles, but o don't need them. well with the extra money for this model over cheaper models for the room correction. Couldnt be happier with my purchase.

    The reciever sounds very good for tv and movies. Setup is very easy although the app doesn’t work all the times. I do find it very disappointing to listen music. You need to go through the setup to get a almost decent sound.

    Everything works fine. The power output is lower than my old reciecer contrary to what the specs say. All in all does the job of connectint multiple high refresh rate computers to my tv. Would recommend!

    I love it! I bought it to replace my old one. However, It's still sitting on a box in the middle of my living room because I broke my arm just after I bought it so I can't place it in it's permanent spot yet. I couldn't be more pleased.

    Had some trouble understanding the Zone 2 operation. Other than that the Denon is a great product. I bought this unit to replace an old Denon ARX3200 which had a fatal failure.

    Recently upgraded to a 4K setup (yes I am late to the party). Had great experiences with an older Denon and decided to try this newer model. Great set of features at an excellent price.

    Very complicated unit to use. I am bugged that they don't provide a hard-copy manual. And when I downloaded onto my phone it won't open. So far, the unit works.

    We love this receiver! We wanted a two-zone so we could have the indoor speakers have a sports game on by the television, and the outside speakers have music for people hanging out. It's perfect!

    If you have a simpler system but want good power and sound, this is an excellent unit. I use it with a full front stage and height channels. Sounds amazing.

    Sound field separation is very good using it in a 5.1 Bose setup. I like the six HDMI ports with 4K pass through. I had to alter the settings after I used their microphone set-up procedure. I upped the bass some and changed other things to make the center speaker more prominent for voice dialog, as my wife is somewhat hard of hearing. I would have rated it 5 stars if the remote was lit. I bought this unit to replace an older Pioneer AVR that only had 1080 HD pass-through with 4 ports. I think this unit is a good price based on what you get.
