great sound,power

no back preouts,no dts

I have used this product for about 2 years and have been very happy. Retail was $1200, but I paid about 950. This reciever can handle any load even though it is rated at 85 watts. Would recommend this unit to anyone especially if you can get it cheap.

Flexabilty, Clean sound

none experienced

I have had this receiver for about a year. Just bought a DVD player. Hooked the DVD player to receiver by optical cable.
WOW!! The dolby digital is awesome. Full sound and the recevier can handle all the transients, no problem. The dsp sound controls work great also. Highly recomended. I have seen the new 3300 and that looks great too.

Flexibility

More treble..than required.

I have owned this unit for about a yr now and I love it. I had the 2700 for a couple of months prior and found it lacking in...ooommphh. This seemed to fit the bill. As far as the treble problem goes, it may be my room as I have a considerable amount of "slap back" echo, which I have to remedy. I'm using Acoustic Energy speakers. A full home theater set up including their sub. I don't have a DVD player as of yet but am still "auditioning" at present. I did get the opportunity to have my brothers Toshiba DVD hooked up and I seem to remember having troubles getting from pro-logic into DD but eventually we did. WOW!! It was worth it. Check out "Enemy Of The State".

This is a great entry level, solid performer

Just enough inputs to get by, limited choice of effects, no 7.1 upgradability and remote less than stellar

This is a nice starter for anyone looking for an A/V receiver. Its is solidly built, it sounds great for the money, but could use another digital input.

Adequate power. Great channel separation. 6 channel input

No DTS. Can only go down in menus, not up and down.

For the price this is a great receiver. The Dolby Digital processing is good. Anyone not familiar with the 5 channel stereo mode is going to be in love. The 6 channel input allows for the addition of an external DD/DTS processor. Extremely powerful for only being rated at 85 watts/channel. Better sounding than both the similar Yamaha and Pioneer products. Has cinema Re-Eq to roll off the highs in overly bright soundtracks. It also remembers your settings for all of the inputs.

All in all, a great deal.

The denon 3200 is a smokin' reciever. I am very impressed with this reciever, it does an excellent job for Home Theater applications and doubles as a really good unit to listen to music on. The sound is very clean, what incredible music reproduction.

If your emphasis is on home theater, than you can't go wrong with this reciever. If you listen to mostly music, you will definitely be satisfied depending your test of music of course. I mostly listen to Traditional Jazz/Hip-Hop/and R&B.
I bought this reciever and I am 100% satisfied with the performance of this it.
The specifacations are as follows:

Front 85W + 85W (8/ohms, 20Hz-20kHz with .05% T.H.D.)
Center 85W (8/ohms, 20Hz-20kHz with .05% T.H.D.)
Surround 85W + 85W (8/ohms, 20Hz-20kHz with .05% T.H.D.)
Some of the nice features of this reciever include:
Binding posts for all terminals
Bi-Wiring for front and center channel
Glow Key universal remote(programable)
6-channel input for outboard decoder(DTS)
Cinema Eq.(turn on if too bright with your speakers)
D.Comp(low, mid, high, off)
Dial.Norm.(on, off)
5-channel stereo(sounds better in a large room)

I'm no audiophile but in my a humbled opinion this reciever definitely gets a
5 star rating.

I just purchased the 3200 receiver after doing much research and listening. However, I'm having a heck of a time getting the Digital sound to work with my Pioneer 606D DVD player. I am using the Coaxial outputs and I've tried everything I can think of to get it working. Basically if I run the sound in analog mode it works but as soon as I switch to Digital, no sound comes out. Help!

After much searching for a midline Digital receiver, I chose the Denon AVR3200.It replaced a Pioneer VSX602. I looked at the following receivers:
Yamaha RXV793, Pioneer VSX906S, H&K AVR65. I listened to all of these and atually purchased the Yamaha and brought it home. It is a very nice unit, but that god awful remote and lack of any usable s-video connections cause be to be unhappy after one day. I never considered the Denons due to price
considerations, but now I am a firm believer, you get what you paid for. I can't
say I stole the unit, but I did get in locally at close to mail order prices +
tax. I have the unit attached to a set of Polk RT-7 mains, Audiologic Sub, set of cheapo Polk rear surrounds and an Infinity center speaker My DVD is a Pioneer 414 and I view my video thru a Pioneer 50" big screen.

PROS:

-love the 5ch stereo, opens up my already open listening area.
-very warm sound. I agree with reviews that state you here a room filled with music, not music coming from boxes. IMHO, better than the Yamaha.
-on screen menu for channel adjustment and such.

CONS:

-learning remote is useless, not enough options. My 'Oneforall' seems better suited
-would like to see a main volume indicaction on the screen. My receiver
sits across the room and the display is small as it is. Also the volume control
doesn't have a light marker on it to indicate a relative setting.
-mode button scanning vs. direct selection

I have had mostly Pioneer components and I was sadly disappointed in the VSX906.
The yamaha would have been a keeper, but that remote sealed it's fate with me.
The H&K wasn't bad, but the price difference was minimal and I feel better
about the Denon in the long run. Only time will tell.

I don't know what they're selling in Asia, but I love my Denon AVR-3200. I use it for home theater (AC-3) and some serious music listening.
It has an excellent D/A converter. It's also DTS-ready.

It's a snap to use and produces absolutely wonderful sound. I'm hearing things that I never heard with my old top-of-the-line Sony (STR-3G).

Great price/performance

No preamp outputs for left/right surround channels.

I purchased this receiver a while back, and have just gotten around to reviewing this speaker. At the time that I purchased this receiver, it had the best price/performance ratio, and was the best receiver available in its price range. I purchased it for around $800.00. It doesn't have DTS and rear-surround support, which weren't available with other receivers at the time that I purchased this receiver. Besides, DTS and rear-surround software is not yet that prevalent these days. Given the rate of change in preamp technology, I am going to wait until things settle down. Although I want to purchase a separate preamp, things are changing too fast, and I plan on waiting until preamps are available with not only rear-surround support, but with Dolby Pro Logic II (useful for watching TV), decoding support for SACD and DVD-Audio (if and when a digital output is available for SACD and DVD-Audio players), component switching, and preferably IEEE-1394 (Firewire) inputs. For now, I am happy using the Denon AVR-3200. I recently purchased a Rotel RMB-1095, which I use to drive the front L/C/R channels. The Denon does not have preamp outputs for the left/right surround channels, so I use the L/R front and surround amps of the Rotel to biamp the front L/R speakers. I didn't think biamping would make a difference, but it did. I continue to use the Denon's built-in amplifier to drive the surround speakers. The Denon amp's power supply is freed of having to support the front L/C/R, so I expect the surrounds to perform better as a result. Overall, this is a great receiver, and after using it for over 2 years, I don't plan on replacing it in the near future. Enough said.
