User Ratings and Reviews
1 Star Worst choice
Even though it has good features and good sound, my receiver broke down six months after I bought. The worst thing is that when I took it to repair, I found several others with the same problem. I thought the DENON would be a reliable brand in quality. My mistake. It is not.
5 Stars Great bang for the buck!
I purchased this receiver in June ’08 as one of the key pieces of building my new home theater system. So far, I’ve been very pleased with this unit’s functionality, customizable options, and, of course, its look and fit with the rest of my home theater system.
Hooked up to this receiver are:
-a Nintendo Wii;
-a Sony PS3;
-a Bose
