Delivered on time. Easy to set up. Room setup worked great. The sound is excellent and drives my Definitive Tech. surround system wonderfully. Works perfect with a Harmony remote and the Denon app / aftermarket apps for controlling all settings from your phone/ tablet. the perfect receiver if you have moved to equipment with HDMI outputs. Simple!

I've had this product for less then a week, but I've been so impressed that I feel compelled to write an early review. I purchased this unit to meet my personal needs; power my entertainment center in the living room, and power a serrate zone outside with a second audio source (airplay, Pandora, etc.). This unit does so well, although it takes a few steps to power airplay in zone 2 while listening to TV audio in Zone. However once it's set up it seems to work flawlessly. I am not an audiophile, but to my ear the sound is great. Another reason for the 5 star review is the customer service. I ran into two issues during initial set up. Both times I called the Denon support line and spoke to a live body in less then 5 minutes. Each rep was professional and knowledgeable, and my questions were answered very quickly. My initial experience with both the receiver and the company have been amazing.

I swapped out my Panasonic receiver for this receiver, and it does make my music sound better. It seems the clarity I hear from my CD's is a result of this company focuses on receivers. As a oppose to companies like Panasonic or Sony who make an array of electronics and have to keep track of many product quality issues. Denon focuses on a few products and do them all well.
