If you can put your hands on one of these receiver, don't waste time, its a great sounding very solid and one of the last relievers made in Japan and has HDMI and internet capabilities, although some people are complaining about the remote , i think its easy once you know how to get into the menus. True cinema sound experience, I used it with Klipsch reference series. This can last you a life time.

Doesn't support 4k if you watch 4k although you can plug your 4K HDMI source direct to your TV and use optical sound cable and won't loose your 4K picture.

Good Audio - DAC very good (much better then on my previouse SONY TA-2000ESD or my CDP SONY 505ES. Love the HDCD onboard. Looking forwerd to connect SACD with the DENON Link-III.
GUI - nice and friendly.
Audyssey MultEQ XT & MultEQ Pro calibration works well, easy to setup, good results.
Very happy with the FM tuner. Sounds good, very good reception and fantastic stereo separation.
Good finish quality (panel, knobs etc')

The remoth is a disaster!
It is so bad, that it is a crime to put this remote with the reciever in the same box!
No name editing, so I need to know my CD is called SAT etc'...My MD is DVR etc'.
It gets worm, so it needs a 4-5 inch (12 cm') space on top, to make it on the safe side.

A nice clean sounding reciever, with plenty of video and digital interfaces.
I use it as a pre for my main channels, and as the Amp for the center and rear speakers. As it was a replacment for my CDP connected directly to the power amp., it's DAC and sound is better. 12 years and 192Ksps/24Bit do good the audio.
It has somuch space in between the tunes, a lot of air and clearuty. Low's are tight and very presuiding. The sound stage with SACD as well with Audiophile CDs is fantastic. Almost to touch the players...with the eyes closed.
On video, it is as good as it could be. Cables HD is stuning. Also my upconverted DVDs look good. Still need to find out about sorround and Full HD.
They just going to make the deal better.
For my rating, sorry it got a 4/5 because the remote. For the value, it is a lot of reciever for the $ so it got a 5/5.

Surperior Sound

Remote still suck

This is by far the best recceiver I've ever owned. I upgraded from the Denon 3805. The dramatic improvement in sound quality will blow you away. As an IT guy I was interested in streaming my MP3's over my network, this is easy to do. The receiver hhas the ability to restore mp3s to their original sound. Usiing the HDMI the hook up is simplified. This is just a phennominal reeceiver..
