- full range power 20-20KHz - my previous Pioneer 1021-K was not even close in audio quality. Sound is not exaggerated like my old Onkyo 606.
- Audyssey MultiEQ XT - night and day difference in getting the acoustics of my great room. I can actually hear the voices of the program from every seat in the room now without cranking the volume to 75%.
- on-screen display - I loved my old Sony and the LED display of 7.1 / LFE channel, but the receiver itself was not up to par. The OSD of the Denon brings that info to another level. I can now see the volume level and source stream with the push of a button.
- HDMI switching - My Onkyo was horrible and loudly clicked between sources. The Pioneer worked 50% of the time negotiating HDCP. The Denon has not failed me in switching between sources.
- Airplay Audio - Setup was surprisingly easy. Works flawlessly. Used from multiple ipad/iphone sources without any issues to main and Zone 2.
- Pandora Streaming - Nice to have this built in. Entering credentials was not easy.
- Remote App - Nothing fancy, but works to change volume and sources. I am sure it can do a lot more, but I just need the basics.
- Web interface - This was very useful for backing up the configuration and checking system settings without interrupting the current program with the OSD and menus.
Cons:
- There seems to be an issue with Bluetooth connectivity. I mainly use Airplay or stream from media server/Pandora so that big of a deal for me.
- Lack of a screen saver or energy saver to dim the hdmi output/display after x-minutes of audio. Leaves the potential for screen burn-in.
- Audyssey microphone stand. Cruel joke to include a cardboard tower. Using a stool under the mic works much better.
- Lack of Bluetooth keyboard support. Typing credentials for the steaming media would be so much easier.
I was replacing a Yamaha RX-V773 because I needed more HDMI inputs. I was tired of having only 5, which meant my PS3 and PS4 had to share a switch box, and my Uverse had to go through my Xbox One. I kept having handshaking issues with Uverse, and was power cycling it about 80% of the time when I went to watch TV because I'd have no sound. So I started looking for something with enough HDMI inputs for my stuff.
I wanted to keep the price down some as well. I have an 11 year old son, so I'm not cranking things at insane levels. I just like stuff to sound decent on my surround system when I'm watching movies or playing games. I wanted 4k support since I have a 60" Samsung 4k TV. Airplay was a must, since while I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga tablet as my main laptop / tablet, I still use airplay from iTunes on it when playing music. The rest of the stuff was unimportant to me. I don't care about Pandora and such.
I saw this as a highly rated unit, and heavily discounted because it's been discontinued and replaced with a newer unit. The price was great, and it had everything I was looking for, so I thought it worth the chance.
Unit arrived quickly (I love Amazon Prime) and I wasted no time disconnecting my old unit. I had to redo the HDMI cables now because I had enough for everything to run itself, but that didn't take too long. On the back, the only real thing I noted as a downgrade from my Yamaha was that Zone 2 on this requires you use the channels for the other surround speakers in a 7.1 system. So if you're going to use the other zone, the most you can do is 5.1 in the main area. I only have 5.1 because I have such an oddly shaped great room, there's only one place I can possibly put the TV, and that leaves no real options for a more advanced surround sound system. Even what I have is less "rear channel" and more "side channel" due to the physical limitations on speaker placement. But other than that, everything was here I needed, including the network cable (since I prefer to hard wire everything into my gigabit network where possible).
Hookup was quick and easy, got everything in place, then came the setup. It guides you through it all, even showing graphics of what goes where on the back. Since mine was all pre-wired, I just kept skipping through it.
First real work was the sound test. They include the microphone to do the sound calibration for your room. One thing beyond the Yamaha I had, is they also include cardboard pieces that are pre-cut so you can create a small stand for it so that it holds the microphone at ear level in the places you'll put it. That was a nice touch, although I didn't use it, as i have a nice tripod for my digital cameras and camcorder. This has the nut on the bottom, so it screwed in fine. That test walked me through several locations, and only took 8 or 9 minutes. I skipped some of the latter ones since I don't have anyone who sits in the positions they were measuring for.
After that came the test of the inputs. The annoying thing here is they're showing them as they're labeled, i.e. "Sat/Cable" and "CD" and such, not just HDMI1, HDMI2, etc. So that made it a bit of a pain since I didn't remember what the "names" of the HDMI 6 and 7 channels were. But I figured it out. After that, the unit was ready for use.
So of course I immediately started changing things. I had hoped I could rename inputs. And I could, to an extent that the Yamaha did not allow for. You can rename them utterly, however you want, numbers, letters, even symbols. So I had no problems renaming everything to things like "Wii-U" and "X Box 1" or "X Box 360." That really made my day, since I'm used to being stuck with things like "Game" and "Aux" and "TV" and such, the default ones only that you can pick from a list.
That was the point then when I was about ready to start setting up my Harmony One remote that it prompted me about a firmware update. It said it will run about 35 minutes, which I thought odd considering how insanely fast my internet is. But I let it go, and it appeared to power off. But then the front panel started showing different components such as sub, GUI, etc... And each one shows a percentage of how far along that component is, and next to that is an estimated time remaining. So this was by far the best download / update feature I've ever had on any of my AV equipment that wasn't a computer. I know the Yamaha had a tendency to turn itself into an anchor if you tried the network update, they recommended downloading it to USB and running it locally. This one went through it with no issues.
It's about the same size as my Yamaha was, so that worked out nicely, it fit just fine where i had the Yamaha previously. I also liked that it had far fewer options. Which for me is odd, as I'm normally a fan of complexity and options. But I really DON'T need a bajillion options on a receiver. I generally find an EQ setting I like, and it sits there. The Yamaha had all this stuff for scenes, or party mode, and just a lot of junk that I never, ever used. I play games, I have a PC that I use running Windows Media Center for playing all my movies through that I have on a huge 32 terabyte NAS box in my basement. I have all my ripped kids cartoons and such there as well for the things my son likes to watch. I don't need a lot of options, and this one is far easier to operate. The Yamaha remote has 37 more buttons than this one does. And since I use a Harmony One programmable remote anyway, I'll never deal with it anyway after setup.
Then came time to play with it and hear how it sounds. And I was immediately disappointed. Air play worked, although it's a LOT slower than the Yamaha was to connect to and change songs on. But the music sounded like junk. Movies sounded horrible. Everything I played was just nothing at all as good as the Yamaha. So I started going through settings, and I found that somehow I had things dedicated to zone 2 even though I explicitly said "No" to anything about the other zone during the initial setup. Once I had all amp settings dedicated for "main" things started to sound better, but still not as good as the Yamaha had. But I was able to find a music sound mode that was good. Of course, the second morning I had it then, iTunes showed "connecting to Denon" then would show connected to Denon, but the unit itself never received anything. So I downloaded the iTunes app for my iPad, to see if I could get anything going there, and for a moment playing with that got Airplay working again for a few seconds, then nothing. The app afterwards disconnects from the device now with "connection failed" and iTunes won't do airplay at all. I thought maybe it had something to do with eco mode, so I disabled it altogether, and still never again any airplay. The IOS app keeps jumping to connection then no connection. My device is solid on the network with a Cat 5 cable, has an IP, so it's not a network issue. Then I tried my son's iPad and iPod touch, and they connected fine, so the problem is somehow tied into my Thinkpad, although it worked fine last night.
Movies, after fixing the amp assignment for Zone 2, sounded better now as well. I had to adjust the level of my subwoofer with the knob on back since this one pushed far more bass than the Yamaha did, and everything was distorted. I've still not found a happy medium for the level of the center channel for movies, it gets drowned out too easily by the surround sound. This never happened with the Yamaha with the exact same sources of movies, but they have a dialog enhancement option where you can adjust it up as far as 12db over the rest of the channels, and that helped.
The downside is the sound mode that makes music sound acceptable is different than the sound mode that makes movies and TV work. I didn't need to flip between modes on the Yamaha, but here I have to otherwise things don't sound as good as I change sources.
It has pass-through ability, but only for the first HDMI input apparently. Regardless of what I've got it doing, if I power off the receiver, the TV goes back to what is plugged into HDMI 1.
But that's a small price to pay for the convenience of those extra HDMI inputs. I no longer have to crawl on the floor in front of my entertainment center to reach under the lowest part to find the small HDMI switch box and hit the button to change between PS 3 and PS4. I no longer have to recycle power on my Uverse DVR to get sound to work through my Xbox One. Everything has its own input, and it works great. The model was recognized by my Harmony software so putting it in my activities was a piece of cake.
Now that the price is almost half off, this is by far the best deal I saw for a receiver with this many HDMI inputs.
Alright, let's fast forward 6 days later now. The sound just never gets "right". And it's frustrating since I can play the exact same thing twice, whether a blu ray, an MKV, or an MP3, and it often sounds different each time, from the same source. The surround sound just gets completely muddled sometimes - I was watching something saved to computer files, and the sound was totally muffled, but played with any other source it was fine. Two power cycles later, suddenly this started to play it fine as well.
Air Play kept cutting out - get it working, then half way through a song it just stops, and gives me a screen about the network reset. This is a wired connection, so it's not a wireless signal issue or interference. And my fluke network tester shows the cable and ports and everything to the main switch is fine.
I finally gave up, boxed it up, and set up the return. I'll just deal with having to use a switch box for my PS3 and PS4 and having to have my Uverse through my Xbox. Having those two extra inputs just isn't worth this hassle when the Yamaha has been performing flawlessly for the last couple years. I'll put up with the hassle of the HDMI input shortage.
