Review on Denon S650H 5.2 Channel AV Receiver, 4K UHD Home Theater Surround Sound (2019) with Music Streaming, HEOS Built-in, eARC, Upgraded HDCP by Alyssa Bell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Ok, nothing special

This AVR-S650H is good but needs some work. I tried using it on a projector with a firestick and sending audio over bluetooth. Synchronization between audio and video was far away. The sync settings didn't help at all. I had to buy a very long HDMI cable, connect the Firestick to the AVR, and run the cable from the AVR to the projector to sync it. I also have an old Marantz stereo which is 50 watts per channel less than this but is louder at half volume than this AVR at 90% volume. The declared power per channel is therefore clearly overestimated. I also like the other features and they seem to work well. The sound when listening to music is on par with other budget receivers. I must have been spoiled by Marantz.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • Approximately
