Customer most helpful reviews 75 of 78 people found the following review helpful. Optimum receiver, excellent audio and video, but software errors .. Tech Junkie I got this two weeks ago, so this is a preliminary report: From my testing so far: Pros: 1. Big sound, dramatic improvement (positive) over the previous Denon 1508 I had this configuration. 2. Video: The up-conversion to HDMI from any source is good and smooth. (In the worst case test cable to 1080p does not look good and is more grainy than I wanted, but standard DVDs look fantastic on my 1080p Panasonic plasma with this receiver). 3. Audussey institution: it was very easy (only took about 10 minutes) and once done, had done a good job of measuring distances and capacities of speakers, I (Martin Logan Aeons forward, Vignette for the center, for ML Grotto the sub, but a low-end Polk Audio to about my setup in 5.1), and properly set up so that the energy compared to the speakers. I can see the difference in one of the chairs in my fourth listening settings. On screen GUI: dramatic improvement in my previous Denon / Marantz, etc. Again, this works perfectly, and the graphical user interface, although it may be better, good enough for most people. 5. Remote control: key distance, so get used to it, is great. Now I could have my Panasonic TV remote control and remote control my DVD player and use only one remote control effortlessly. I have a Harmony remote that I stopped using for a long time, and this distance is better than the Harmony remote, in my experience (one simple reason is that the harmony remember the state of the team and expects you to use only always the remote, so if you do manual, for example, walk to the TV, and harmony is confusing!). Again a big improvement over previous models Denon / bottom. 5. Network access / firmware: only these features is a plus (BUT. .. I had many problems with this - I'm covering continued) 6. IPod direct connectivity with USB Input Front biggest yet (I was able to connect both the iPhone first Gen, and iPod video iPod nano and 5 third-generation and use them properly using the on-screen menu). There is a method of audio accessory that enhances the music compressed in MP3 format ("restorer" - has 4 modes - off, or no treatment, 64 and 96bit HQ - High Quality) 7. More voices - 6 HDMI inputs, there is also a set of entries before - HDMI, Composite, USB inputs for convenience. 8. Not too hot! I tried to run it - a higher volume on my sub-4 ohm Logan Martin and sweat no! The receiver gets hot but not too hot it will burn your fingers! This is a big reason I bought this receiver - my experience with other brands rececivers was pretty bad - 75 to 90 watts / channel, these receptors travel from my house fuses often Denon (both my old 1508 on 75 watts and 4310 watts to 130 ) is admirably well in this regard and I have no complaints - only praise for the handling of exceptional power and efficiency now CONS Denon and the problems I encountered: 1. Poor access unfinished, mediocre Web - while you can change fonts, perform the configuration of components, see the multi-zone control, volume control etc with the help of [...] (browser) access) is very primitive - no one expected a $ 2000 receiver. 2nd NET / USB and other networks: Several wrong here - I'll try a couple, but I'm not ready yet to find them! A. Does not recognize all the drives in the NAS home network sees only the Windows Media server on the net! So, to play music in a NAS drive, I need to add only a library of WMP and then I can play that Denon is more a feature request bug. b. While browsing the list of songs / albums etc, there is no page up / page down keys, and so get an entry at a time and a lack of research is a pain when you have thousands of songs. C. It is a small error in reading the media server / files USB: While the display after a minute or two, sleep.
