Reviews around volume (4.59 of 5)

  • I too noticed a lack of power with the default Dynamic Volume setting ("Off").
  • If the audio shuts off, I can adjust the volume and viola, works for another 10 minutes
  • My Tivo remote had no issues programming to meet the on/off and volume needs of the receiver
  • Additionally, the Audyssey Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume do an amazing job of processing different sources, and evening out content levels
  • After changing the Dynamic Volume to "Medium", 30-35% levels were satisfactory

Reviews around quality (4.52 of 5)

  • I paired the receiver with Polk RTi 10 speakers and IMHO, the sound quality is excellent.
  • The sound quality is noticeably better than the old receiver
  • works awesome with amazingly easy set up and great sound quality for my media room!
  • I've been a Sony guy forever, even when I clearly saw the quality of their av receivers start to decline
  • I knew it wasn't my speaker, so I plugged a different speaker into that channel and it too was static-y

Reviews around setup (4.42 of 5)

  • have been using for several months - great tonal quality; somewhat confusing setup ( but I am not that sophisticated - and probably missed a few tweaks)
  • It was the best choice it found and the setup and sound are great!
  • Setup somewhat tricky
  • For a sub-$500 receiver, it is very well built with excellent audio quality and supremely easy setup.
  • There is a note on the screen that indicates the characteristics of the room may occasionally trick the setup.

Reviews around power (4.40 of 5)

  • The Denon while not perfect does give the rear speakers in a Multi stereo mode ample power to get some bass
  • Hooked it up, and I have to say compared to my old one it seriously lacked power.
  • Whether it was listening to music, playing video games, or watching a movie, this receiver had more than enough power to fill up my living room with clear and crisp sounds
  • Made sure room was silent (kids asleep) and followed all instructions.- Lots of HDMI ports, pass through is nice as well as we can listen to music and not leave the static screen UI on our plasma TV for a long time (possible burn in problem over time).- Good power, runs cool, and rather compact.- Denon Android app, it works real well and allows me to keep the unit in another room in the house
  • It puts out nice power and good interface with the TV.I wish I had known that your TV has to have a AMR rating on the HDMI

Reviews around audio (4.26 of 5)

  • When I drop in a titan on Titanfall the floor shakes as if one really did just hit the ground
  • The network control works great, the audio set up feature was easy to use and made configuration very easy
  • As a side note, airplay only supported audio; no video.
  • The network control works great, the audio set up feature was easy to use and made configuration very easy
  • It will also help you calibrate and fine tune the audio for the room the system is installed

Reviews around feature (4.23 of 5)

  • The apple air-play was a great feature for my house and worked amazingly fast compared to bluetooth
  • Another great feature of this unit is the inclusion of Apple's AirPlay technology, making streaming from iTunes on your phone or laptop a snap
  • Granted, that's a costlier feature available on higher-end models, but it wasn't made obvious in my up-front research (and I did look for it), so now I have to run an RCA cable through the ceiling if I really desperately want to play NES over the projector.
  • Another nice feature is that if you choose to AirPlay to it, it will automatically change to the correct input setting.
  • Therefore, at this price point, this particular model is missing some common features like music zones, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, etc

Reviews around system (4.14 of 5)

  • The system worked fine, but it didn't really impress.
  • The combination easily matches and exceeds the old system, almost amazingly so
  • I knew it wasn't my speaker, so I plugged a different speaker into that channel and it too was static-y
  • I upgraded to this receiver from an older Onkyo and my system sounds incredible now
  • I could not ask for a better sound system than this one.

Reviews around unit (3.59 of 5)

  • One Speaker terminal had a bad ground(refurb unit), Denon took it back and gave me a free upgrade to a receiver that was a few hundred more dollars for my trouble.
  • So I hooked this unit up with Powerline LAN solution from the get-go, and it works great.
  • Im not sure why these bad units ever made it through quality control at Amazon
  • They sent me the bad unit, you would think they would cover the shipping right
  • It may not be the best selection for your needs since any unit has its limitation

Reviews around denon (3.44 of 5)

  • My early observations are that the Denon E300 is a delight.
  • (If you're not convinced that Denon is horrible then do an internet search on this process.)2
  • Denon has not offered any help to resolve this problem and I cannot recommend this receiver to anyone wishing to use the Network Interface
  • My wife's brother recommended the Denon to us and he could not have been more accurate in his praise
  • A lack of Wi-Fi functionality is keeping the Denon from greatness

Reviews around product (3.40 of 5)

  • Considering it got used about once a month, this product was a disaster and I will go back to the Yamaha that I used to have.
  • The product was easy to set up but later that evening the AVR kept crashing, cutting off the TV
  • Denon quality is superb, and their products are beautiful to behold.
  • Amazon paid for return shipping twice because a inferior product.
  • So I wasted $20 shipping it back and 2 weeks of my life to get back a defective product.

  • I ignore the error and move along to the end
