Title: Feature Rich. Future Proof. But Pricey.
Review: For a number of reasons, I decided I needed a new AV Receiver. My primary motivation was to move from 5.1 to 7.1 and up. I wanted something that already had the established standards and would be 8k ready. To get all of that , I read the reviews and it came down to Denon or Onkyo (yes I know there are even pricier and more esoteric products). This one had ample 8k HDMI (2.1 connections), several optical / coax digital inputs, phono input, sub outs, on screen display, and speaker calibration (Audyssey mic included). It has discrete line level inputs but no composite video. Yes, it includes all the variations for Dolby (Vision, Atmos, etc), DTS (X, etc), DIRAC compatible, compatible audio streaming services, etc. Check out the specs at one of the online services.The setup was a breeze with TV/onscreen prompts for general setup as well a room / speaker tuning. The remote is ok, sleak and well laid out. I ran the tuning setup for my 5.1 and will add 2 more speakers and rerun in the next week I think the calibration process is easy enough, but be sure to follow the prompts on screen about where and how far away to place the testing/calibration mic. It does have a manual calibration/tuning process, so if you know what you want already, just jump to that menu section.I'll note that I had this in my cart for a week trying to decide to buy, and then 2 days before Amazon's big sale event it went on sale ($200 off), but on the event day (July 10-11) it went back up! Kinda disappointed in that. Luckily, I got it when it first went on sale.Bottom Line: Do you research - be sure if you really need all the bells and whistles and the associated price, and if you want to jump ahead a bit and get the current cutting edge standards. These things seem to change every few years. One thing to note, the unit does have an "eco" mode (not sure how that works exactly) but it runs Warm and produces a fair amount of heat overall.

Title: Impressive
Review: Glad I went with the X3800H vs the lesser models - simply for the Audyssey MultEQ XT32 calibration with my 7.1.2 speaker setup.It did a great job of room correction, much better than my previous Sony. I might upgrade to Dirac some day, but for now I don't have a huge need to pay the additional $$ for the license; XT32 is good enough for me so far.And if I want to get some rear Atmos speakers later, I can add on a cheap 100w 2-channel amp through the receiver preamp; as this receiver will run 11 channels but only has the built in amplifier for 9 channels. And this thing can carry up to 4 subwoofers - seems overkill as I'll probably never have that many but I could see myself running 2 subs some day.As for the rest of the receiver - great specs all around. Has all the current bells and whistles needed for a modern home theater experience. Power is good, and the sound quality is great. HDMI switching has no issues with the current firmware.The biggest seller for Denon to me though is the Dynamic Volume control - Youtube TV commercials & 'zen' moments blast your eardrums out if the receiver doesn't have that capability. It works great even on the Light setting.

Title: Awesome
Review: The Denon AVR-X3800H 9.4-Ch Receiver isnât just a gadgetâitâs a ticket to audio nirvana. This beast has nine channels and four subwoofer outputs, so once you turn it on, youâll swear youâre in a theater (or inside a spaceship). You might want to warn the neighbors, though; theyâll think youâve set up a live concert or are hosting a sound effects rehearsal for the next Marvel movie.Letâs start with setup. Denonâs on-screen assistant guides you through, but donât let that fool you; getting this masterpiece ready is like assembling a mini space station. Once youâre all hooked up, though, the real magic happens. Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro-3D turn every sound into an experienceârain doesnât just âfallâ; it pours around you, explosions actually vibrate the couch, and whispers feel like theyâre coming from right behind you (slightly spooky but so worth it).Then thereâs the 8K compatibility. Do you have an 8K TV yet? Probably not, but when you do, Denonâs got you covered. This receiver is so ahead of the game it might as well come with a crystal ball. And when paired with a compatible screen, itâs like watching reality, but somehow better. You might even find yourself watching documentaries on lawn care just to admire the crispy visuals.The HEOS multi-room streaming is a game-changer too. You can flood the entire house with sound, making every room a different âaudio zone.â Cooking in the kitchen? Cue up some jazz. Lounging in the living room? Time for movie soundtracks. Suddenly, youâre the DJ of your own personal audio festival.And letâs talk powerâ105 watts per channel. Translation? Your house just became the neighborhoodâs unofficial rock concert venue. Crank this thing up, and itâs so powerful your plants might actually start vibrating to the beat. Pets? Theyâll look at you like, âReally? Another round of âBohemian Rhapsodyâ?âFor gamers, itâs a dream. With VRR and ALLM, even lag is a thing of the past. Youâll hear enemies sneaking up behind you before they even think about it.In short, the Denon AVR-X3800H is an audio powerhouse with more features than your average rocket ship. So, brace yourself for immersive sound, prepare your playlists, and get ready to turn your living room into an epic audio adventure.

Review: I had been humming and hawing about purchasing this receiver for over 2 years and then finally decided to pull the trigger. I've been extremely happy with the performance of this amplifier. The Audyssey correction worked well out of the box. The sound feels a lot tighter in my less than ideal home theatre room.All inputs and outputs have worked perfectly on my OLED and 4K projector across a number of different inputs, ranging from 4K HDR - Atmos -> to Retro Consoles.

Review: Este receptor de Denon es para exigentes, tiene una gran variedad de opciones y debes experimentar con el para obtener el mejor sonido, en mi caso lo utilizo con bocinas Klipsch en los frontales principales y 2 subwoofers combinado con bocinas Bosé para el surround y canal central, el sonido y la potencia son excelentes, Audissey funciona muy bien y ya que está el sistema calibrado todavia tienes la opcion de modificar cualquier canal para adaptarlo especificamente a lo que estas viendo y escuchando, y todavÃa está la opción de Dirac! que aún no he probado, es un poco complicado de usar al principio pero despues es muy gratificante el resultado, ampliamente recomendable, pero cuidado no es un receptor para conectar y usar asà como viene de fabrica.
