A Complete Mess
(1 out of 5) by Daniel Murphy on Aug 24, 2009 (San Francisco, CA USA)I'm pretty sophisticated technically, but configuring this receiver is nearly impossible. The menus are arbitrary and incomprehensible, the documentation poor, and the two remotes almost impossible to use. The receiver keeps crashing when it tries to update its firmware. Everything about its design is unintuitive and opaque, and configuring it to get good sound out of it is very difficult without some very sophisticated professional help.
This receiver has been nothing but grief since it arrived, and correctly configuring it remains an elusive goal, receding ever further into the distance. I'm going to get rid of this and look for something with a usable interface and audio quality that's easier to obtain. If this receiver is capable of producing quality sound, you'll need luck, patience, and a great deal of technical knowledge to get it.
In the future I'll avoid this, and I'll avoid all Denon products.
