from Local Retailer Summary:
Hardly needs more reviews but I will do it any way.
For the casual listener wanting an HT set-up spending more than this model may be pointless. The model is discontinued however. I have not had any quality issues and keep the 6 chanel amp well ventilated and not abused. I run with EnergyEncore speakers.
I use about 10% of the hook ups. I run a universal DVD+RW with built in tuner to it. The only input is TV/DIG3. I run the subwoofer from the preout subwoofer jack. Connection quality is very good. Running as TV enables the TV_ENABLE function to turn unit on off.
The power rating would be listed as higher if this were a made by others. More than enough for a sane person in an 16 X 12 feet room.
I run the energy encores as large speakers as recommended, and what a difference. The one complaint is low-midrange not entirely crisp, but thats a HT system. I might reconfigure through the high level inputs and turn off the subwoofer present set up.
I don't know what the fuss about the remote is. It is just OK. I think people started a mudslide for some reason. Strengths:
As said I use only with a DVD with built in cable TV tuner. Running TV with 6 channel stereo is a huge improvement of standard TV. Otherwise the unit is permanently on 5.1 ch and rarely DTS.
Using the TV_ENABLE funtion turns on/off is a plus for simplified users. I just change surround and volume (The two big knobs) Weaknesses:
I found the surround mode to jump around on occasion to modes I did not use last time.
I have dummy cables to signal the TV input to the receiver to activate auto on/off. Another dummy cable to run On Screen Display on an alternate video signal. There must be a btter way.
Clarity in Low Mid Range is very good but not excellent. May even be a set up issue in fairness.
Too feature rich for every day use for simple set up with a univeral DVD+RW with built in tuner. Similar Products Used:
Gave similar Denon model to family member.
