AVR-X6700H

Plenty of power. Full of options and connectivity for all your A/V components. Add your VCR, Cassette deck, multi CD/DVD player. Your 4K player for movie time. This receiver can handle it. It delivers superb surround sound for every movie. The setup mic can accommodate up to eight listening positions in your home theater. I am enjoying my movies once again. Upgraded from a slightly older Pioneer A/V receiver.Used 10 awg wire for my fronts and center speakers and 12 awg for the rest. All-in-all, really awesome 11.2 set-up for a theater like sound at home. And I never have to say, "down in front".Highly recommend this AV receiver, for a mid-sized budget.

This upgrade from my older Denon catches up with current technology and has enough HDMI inputs to control all devices. Previously, my wife just wanted the movie sound to play in the 2-channel kitchen like it does in the 7.1 channel living room. That would work for any stereo signal, but 7.1 could not be down-graded to 2.0 and instead thought the kitchen was only surround-back if the source signal was multichannel Dolby, so you could hear the music but no dialogue. She didn't want to hear that explanation. This unit solves that and allows 7.1 to translate to stereo in both zones 2 and 3. Looking at the back of this unit, you would think you could use the final set of speaker outputs for a stereo zone 4, but there are actually only 3 amps, which can be programmed to handle a wide variety of speaker configurations. Personally I still need a second amp for zone 4 stereo, but this unit still controls it all. The zone two video HDMI out allows you to watch a movie with sound in zone 2 while simultaneously watching something else in zones 1 and 3 with 7.1 sound. The app control on iPhone is a little bit hard to comprehend just because it has so many control choices. We use Harmony app as the iPhone remote for all devices including this unit, Apple TV, X-box, and Blu-Ray (I highly recommend Harmony), but that won't let you separately control volume across different zones whereas the Denon app does. God help me when the teens move out and the wife wants the volume adjusted in zone 3. Overall this is a great unit, and having the second amp works just fine as compared with spending 4x as much for the only higher model Denon that might have avoided the need. Tip for control app: choose "source" for zones 2 and 3 to watch and listen to the same thing as zone 1. If zone 1 is on Apple TV and you put zone 2 on Apple TV you'll hear nothing on Zone 2. Set Zone 2 to source to hear the movie playing in zone 1.

The Denon AVR-X6700H has remarkable audio and video processing capabilities. I wish there were a way to allow for a demo, but a home video recording can never do it justice.I am using the Denon with seven large Klipsch speakers that sound even crisper, plus the 15" Klipsch 800w powered subwoofer. The Audessy microphone and software make setup seamless and easy. I did not mind the time to set up because the software does take a bit of time to fine-tune your speakers.The Denon app, on the other hand, is sluggish and is very near pointless as I am using the Logitech Harmony Hub to control the unit through the Harmony app. All of my AVR components are in another room, so I had the Harmony Hub for years. When comparing the Denon app to the Harmony App, the Denon app has many more functions to control; however, the app is frustratingly slow. I did not purchase this for the Bluetooth app, so no points off.I love the decrease in lag when switching between different video resolutions. My old receiver could take up to a minute to refresh the input; the Denon is quite snappy.The Denon AVR-X6700H is an excellent receiver hands-down that offers excellent upgradability. The next purchase will be for external amps to use the preamps on the back of the unit, although noise is hardly noticeable as-is. I do want to increase the wattage per channel because the recommended wattage is higher for my speakers, and I love crystal clear audio.I highly recommend this receiver. I hope you appreciate it as much as I do. Enjoy!

I ordered this item to replace a Sony AVR. It went on sale, so I ordered it in advance of receiving my new TV. TV was delayed, but when it came, I excitedly put the system together. I went through the lengthy process of setting up the receiver. My excited turned into dread as I have spent hours trying to get this receiver to work correctly.First issue - The HDMI input switches randomly from TV Audio to Phono. And I don't have anything hooked up to Phono. Contacted support. Reset to factory settings. Verified all the CEC settings were set correctly in all devices. Went through the lengthy set up process again. All seemed to be working, but then....Second issue - I lost sound on my CBL/SAT HDMI input. All sound settings are properly set. Contacted support again. Another factory reset? Sure, what else would you expect from Denon support. Still not working.Tried to return to Amazon, but because of the delay in the TV coming, I was outside of 30 day return window by 3 days. Contacted Denon to get the unit replaced. Guess what? They won't replace it, but I can take it to a repair center 2 hours away from my house. Or ship it there. This is outrageous support for a supposedly high-end AVR. I will NEVER give Denon a penny of my money again, and will go back to Yamaha, the first AVR I ever owned.So, bottom line - Denon does NOT stand behind their products. Beware spending money on anything Denon. I spent $2,500 for an AVR that is a nightmare, took up hours of my time, and continues to be a source of frustration.
