This was my first Dennon purchase and even though it was a refurbished product i had no reservations coming from the manufacturer. This was a big upgrade from my 15 year old Sony receiver. I loved my Sony receiver, but this Dennon receiver is great! It has plenty of power for each speaker. I connected 2 Subs and it has great bass. Dennon being known a little higher quality in music is one of the reasons i went with them over Onykyo. The wi-fi connection is wonderful as streaming wi-fi from Spotify this way has better quality than Bluetooth. It has plenty of HDMI'S so it's future ready. Setup was easy. I didn't need 7.2 so that is why i went with this model. If you are looking for great sound and useful features I recommend this model. It does have a phono connection as well so if you will be connecting a record player you don't need a pre-amp.
Very easy speaker setup using Audessey. I have some acoustic challenges and the automatic process worked very well. Other setup steps were just as easy. Video from my source devices through the receiver look great, no added noise or other artifacts. Full video resolution. Sound is great, but I'm not stressing the audio much with a 3-channel sound bar. One aspect stands out: the roll-off of bass frequencies from the sound bar to the subwoofer is perfect. Overall very pleased with the unit especially for the price.
This Denon was a big improvement over our 30 year old Onkyo. The automated EQ/delay setup is terrific, and 100 watts per channel is more than we will ever need. My only complaint is that the control app for iPad is remarkably weak. Does not transfer lists from network radio or media server to the iPad, only visible on an attached monitor.
The 231 page manual did not have the information I needed. Being familiar with my far more complicated AVR-2105 which I replaced due to right front speaker circuit failure, I chose not to make an HDMI connection directly to TV and wanted to set up receiver manually which I couldn't have done so readily without the competent telephone tech support staff who was extremely helpful. Be prepared to manually enter FM stations 89.7, 90.5 and 90.9 which are not included in the many built-in programed stations, as well as deal with the highly sensitive FM antenna wire which doesn't consistently tune in these weaker signals. Once operational, I was completed satisfied with sound quality, testing 5.1 system with DVD of the overwhelming D-Day landing in "Saving Private Ryan," and CDs including "The Dave Brubeck Quartet at Carnegie Hall." TV is viewed via OTA TiVo with HDMI video to TV and optical audio to Denon. Laptop's long audio cable provides enjoyable music from Internet radio stations and music providers. Great sound from cassette tape deck brings back pleasant memories of musicians seen many years ago.
The sound quality of this unit is outstanding. I've never heard the subwoofer perfom so well. The only reason I didn't give it five stars was lack of an instructional manual. If you want one you have to print it yourself. I didn't feel like printing 200 sheets. You wouldn't think Denon would be so miserly and furnish a manual.
