Review on Denon AVR-X4700H 8K Ultra HD 9.2 Channel AV Receiver (2020 Model) – IMAX Enhanced, Gaming Ready, Music Streaming, Alexa + HEOS by Julie Lee

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I love this AVR! - Home Audio

I spent a lot of time and research before I took the risk and bought the AVR-4700H. Seriously, the sound quality is terrible. I like the virtual DTS/Atmos setting at 7.2 as well as the 4K skip. The other day my wife and I watched Frozen 2 and my wife, who never talks about electronics, was blown away. As much as I would like to have ceiling speakers in the theater room, I just can't because it would be too difficult to wire if the "ceiling" in the basement is our heated floor with a bundle of pipes. With a "virtual" ATMOS, I can't see any serious difference anyway. I also use "extra" amps to power the entire pre-wired 12 zone amp stack for the rest of the house. I thought that the power would not be enough, but it turned out that I was wrong. It was a pleasant surprise. I repurchased this unit and continued to play around with audio and video settings even though Audyssey setup was so easy it should have been illegal. Can't wait to hook up a new XBox in a few months and get rid of the old 1S with 4K UHD. Highly recommended ONE caveat: the receiver gets hot so I use it with an AC Infinity AIRCOM T10 to keep it cool.

Pros
  • CONNECT TO ANY HD/ULTRA HD TV, SUBWOOFER, BLU-RAY PLAYER AND PLAYER FOR INCREDIBLE STEREO SOUND - USB, 11 HDMI ports (8 in/3 out) with HDCP 2.3 processing, digital in, phono in and Network Support for some wireless connections
Cons
  • Makes me angry
