Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this to replace my 2 year old Yamaha RXV-2600.
Pros:Excellent surround sound performance thanks to Audessy auto setup, perfect HDMI switching performance, great value
Cons:Muting the sound makes a noticeable "click" sound as the amps are turned off, cryptic manual, lack of THX certification
Despite a couple of minor cons, this is a fantastic receiver.It blows away my older (but much more expensive) Yamaha in terms of sound quality and HDMI switching.The Yamaha YPAO wouldn't automatically calibrate my subwoofer (but Audessy does!) and would give HDMI HDCP errors about every other time I turned on the receiver.The Denon has been working flawlessly for a week.
I would recommend going online and downloading some of the Denon setup guides from avsforum, they are *much* better than the weak excuse of a manual that comes in the box with the receiver.
Highly recommended for an entry level 7.1 receiver!
