Denon AVR-S760H 7.2-Channel Home Theater AV Receiver 8K Video Ultra HD 4K/120 - (New 2021) (Renewed)

I don't know about those saying you need a science degree or PHD in audio engineering to set this up. This was pretty straightforward. As a matter of fact compared to Onkyos of old this Denon feel like a streamlined version. It's Audyssey mic setup makes basic setup super-ridiculously-easy. It picks up all the appropriate distances and settings flawlessly.However, "Surround Back" works the same as with Onkyo and Sony setups. It can be a rear placed l/r addition -- but it has a variety of other options (front ceiling firing, mid ceiling firing down, Atmos enabled firing rear) I do knock the user interface and language of its menus for being rather confusing. Using the standard setup there is no clear way as with other AV receivers to see a picture of what you are choosing for those (and only those) 2 rear speaker positionings (which WILL matter for Atmos calculations).Once complete you will want to tweak the levels just a hair in most cases (at least I did) but what I did not have to worry about was compatibility and clarity --> which weighs FAR heavier on my list of bang for you buck. Setups are far more rare, its the movie and content enjoyment that matters and that Denon delivers the digital goods.Atmos, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, DTS-X, with outstanding clarity and crispness. I don't think there's anything that DOESN'T play on this thing. I have run through most of my 4K UHD Disc library and haven't found anything that doesn't sound better than the previous Onkyo or my other Sony receiver.This was a great buy so far and I'm glad there was a refurbished edition to help me save some money.

Very good, everything is fine, i recommend it!

This receiver is amazing. The wifi and Bluetooth really puts it over the top. And for half the price of MSRP you really can't beat the deal.

This device with the proper speakers is very good, does almost everything I needed it to do and can still get very loud. I play it at roughly half volume otherwise it gets too loud in my space with the polk audio in-wall speakers I purchased and installed.Even though the device was 'used' I saw no real signs of any use and it appeared almost brand new and fully functioning with everything I'd expect from a new product.My only gripe is the connectivity options for things other than HDMI. You can't play audio easily over the phone and have to use their built-in app like HEOS or an application that is supported. I'd rather just play audio over bluetooth without using the HEOS app. I can still use spotify and play music, but for youtube videos or other things I have to play it through a different device (xbox, screen cast) to get the desired experience.

This would have been my 4th Denon unit. I purchased a refurb because I've had good luck with Amazon's refurbished items in the past. This one was a gift to my son for his first home this Christmas. What a disappointment...everyone in the family had secretly purchased all the various speakers needed for a 7.1 system and we couldn't wait for him to try it all out. After connecting everything and turning it on--blah. The Denon switched itself right back off again! The online manual says this happens when the thing detects a problem. The only problem was the unit itself. Impossible to describe how disappointing the experience was. Denon has a reputation for high quality products--they also have a reputation for being hard nosed about getting defective ones fixed. Not sure who Electronics Expo (the source of the refurb) is, but they clearly didn't do their job with this item. I sent it back and got a brand new one which was only a few dollars more. I'll review that one when it arrives.
