Review on 🎧 Denon AVR-X8500H: Flagship Receiver with 8 HDMI In/3 Out, 13.2 Channel Amplifier (150W/Ch), Dolby Surround Sound, Alexa & HEOS Compatibility by Sean Young

Qualitatively assembled unit. Lots of settings via on-screen menus after connecting the TV. Big learning curve for the average person. There's a setup wizard that does a good job of showing you where to connect everything and guiding you through the process. It sets the speaker levels, etc. This can also be done manually. I used the helper and then adjusted it a bit. The volume and tone of each speaker can be adjusted individually. Be patient. If something is wrong, then most likely the settings. In my default setting, the device automatically switched on to the TV, and only the 2 main speakers in the front and the center speaker were turned on. I was able to fix it manually every time by switching the input to cable/satellite and turning on all speakers with the remote, but it was annoying. 2 settings were wrong. I had to download and print out a nearly 400 page manual to sort through these two issues and learn a lot more. Very customizable. The only complaint is that it's very expensive. If you don't need 13.1 surround sound, you can get a comparable device in 7.1 or 9.1 for a third of the price. The only complaint is that it's very expensive.
