Denon AVR-S960H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel (90Watt X 7) AV Receiver 2020 Model - Built for Gaming, Music Streaming, 3D Audio & Video, Alexa + HEOS, Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Tecnologia de ponta onde o valor está bem acessível. Tem tanta função que tive que contratar uma empresa para instalação e calibrar o som. Ficou melhor que do cinema aqui em casa.

I pulled the trigger on the Denon AVR-S960H to replace an aging 12-yr old Harman Kardon that did well, but had no HDMI inputs or outputs, and did not support DD+/Atmos, etc., so it was time for an upgrade. After reading through dozens of 2020 7.2 Surround AVR reviews, I decided on this Denon model. It meets HDMI 2.1 specs and scores very highly in reviews for music quality.Similar to the EZSet+ mic that came included with my 12-yr old H/K AVR, the Denon AVR-S960H included an Audyssey mic for surround sound optimization during initial setup. Simply follow the on-screen instructions and setup is quite easy. The AVR will play a number of test tones from all speaker channels and measure the distance in order to automatically set delays and adjust speaker volume from your normal seating positions in your home theater room. After that has completed, you're ready to set up the rest of your inputs and off you go.My particular setup is a 7.3 system - 3 powered subs and 7 JBL satellite speakers. I use a mini-DSP for output to all 3 subs, so I only utilized one of the sub (LFE) outputs on the back of the AVR. As far as sound quality is concerned, the S960H is amazing. 90W per channel is more than enough for crystal-clear, powerful sound from the satellites.As a suggestion...if you're upgrading to this AVR, ideally you want all of your HDMI sources running directly through the AVR, not to your TV and back to your AVR. Let the S960H do the sound processing. I have 9 total HDMI devices connected to the big screen in my living room, I use a 4k@60Hz HDMI switch to handle the overflow for lesser-used devices. Everything routes through the AVR then to the big screen. It was nice being able to route most of my devices through the S960H, rather than having to use multiple HDMI switches for all my devices.*** Also important...replace your HDMI cables especially if you plan on 4K@120Hz or 8K. You'll need cables that meet HDMI 2.1 specs. If you're using old, cheap junk HDMI 2.0 (or older) cables, don't expect 4K 120Hz or 8K to function properly. The spec changed from 16Gbps bandwidth in HDMI 2.0, to 48Gbps in HDMI 2.1, which you can imagine is a substantial bandwidth difference. 4K 120Hz will push the envelope of a HDMI 2.0 16Gbps cable, and in some cases may not negotiate at the higher "ultra" speeds required for 120Hz 4K and up. Do your searching and make sure your cables meet the specs required to run at the resolution you desire. For 1080p up to 4k@60Hz, HDMI 2.0 spec'd cables are fine. I've read several negative reviews on here and if I had to guess the source of disappointment, I'd say 90-95% were experiencing problems with their cables, most likely related to cables that were subpar or under spec. HDMI 2.1 cables are becoming more affordable every week...they cost just a small % more than 2.0 cables at this point. Don't cheap out on cables. In order to meet the HDMI 2.1 spec, cables need to be sufficiently shielded and use a thicker gauge wire.The S960H is an outstanding receiver, and it does what it's advertised to do and more. Setup is a breeze and only takes minimal time. Use quality speaker wires (14 gauge OFC copper and larger gauges are optimal, especially for longer runs) and quality shielded HDMI cables, or expect problems. Denon makes a quality product and I'm happy with the S960H. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid, reliable, and impressive 7.2 Surround sound home theater experience.

Som perfeito, muita tecnologia.Fácil configurar

Denon nunca dejara de sorprendeme ya con este mi 2 equipo y muy contento con su sonido y calidad. No lo piensen 2 veces este equipo esta genial.

Biggest negative is for the passthrough to work you have to turn the receiver on and switch to that input then turn the receiver off again. If you select the input on the remote it actually turns the receiver on so you have to turn it off again. Probably going to shorten the life span of the product constantly turning it off and on. Would be nice if touching the input while off still switched the input of the receiver while in standby.Other than that, this receiver is absolutely amazing. This is my first Denon receiver ever. Setup is a breeze. Not only does the on-screen prompts on your TV walk you through each step but it walks you through how to connect the speakers, what to do with the wires, testing of each speaker, etc. full system calibration with an included microphone and stand customizes the system to your room and speaker setup. Setup was a breeze. Sound quality is absolutely stunning. Great power and range. Pass through capabilities for HDMI is excellent and a must have if you don't want to always have your receiver on to watch your various sources. It actually breathed life back into my old speakers, they now sound great again. Amazing the difference in quality compared to my 15 year old receiver. 8K is amazing, upscaling and all. Bluetooth connectivity to other devices is a breeze and you can control the device from your receiver remote. Connects to XM, iHeart, etc. effortlessly. This system truly has every feature I could think of that I needed and then some. Can't believe the price of this unit compared to others with less features and capabilities. Even the internal radio sounds better. Nice touch on the remote on your phone too, although that does need some work and is clumsy to use at times (easier to just grab the real remote). Well done Denon!Small negative, remote is cheaply made with light plastic and limited features. Would have been nice to have a more higher end remote.
