Today we are taking a closer look at the recently release Denon S760H 7.2ch 75w AV Receiver. Like a lot of you out there watching this video, I was struggling for almost a year to find an affordable AVR solution that provided me with true HDMI 2.1 connectivity and next-generation features such as ALLM, VRR, QFT, 4K/120Hz, and more. The current market selection either failed to meet my gaming requirements due to poorly thought out or cheaply made/sourced HDMI 2.1 boards, lacked the number of ports I needed, stuck next generations behind an unreleased software update, or failed to meet their projected MSRP or release date.
This all changed when Denon launched their S760H. The Denon S760H is a 7.2ch 75w AVR with arguably EVERYTHING the modern enthusiast needs, all while maintaining the lowest introductory price I've seen in the current history of HDMI 2.1 compliant AV Receivers. FOr under $500, the Denon S760H provides 3 full speed 40gbps HDMI ports, 3 18gbps HDMI 2.0 ports, 7 channel inputs including a remappable selection for Atmos Front/Front Height/Rear Surround/ETC, enough legacy ports to make any enthusiast happy, 4K/120Hz support, ALLM, VRR, QFT, and so much more. More specs to follow:
- Powerful and discrete 7-channel amplifier delivers maximum performance and 75W per channel to provide the classic and dynamic Denon sound experience.
- Advanced 8K HDMI video with eARC support
Three 8K inputs and supports the latest HDMI specifications-8K/60Hz, select 4K/120Hz pass-through, VRR, Dolby Vision™, HDR10+, ALLM.
- Full 3D audio support with virtual surround sound
Enjoy immersive 3D audio with Dolby Atmos®, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology, DTS:X®, and DTS Virtual:X™.
- Easy setup and operation
Once you connect your TV to the AVR-S760H, the Denon Setup Assistant walks you through the setup, step by step.
If you've been looking for an AVR with enough future-proofing to satisfy your needs while still leaving tons of money in your pocket, then I would pick this up IMMEDIATELY as I believe the market is only going to get more expensive moving forward!

The 8k/4k 120hz situation makes me recall the earlier days of hdmi. Had to wait quite a bit until receivers met our expectations. Looks like in 2022 Denon will finally have the full lineup the way it should have been in 2020.
I remember trying to find an affordable 4K receiver when we were making the transition to ARC support from optical. This is no different, and I’m sure we’ll see more advancements run behind in the future.
Definitely going to pick this up this year. I've been renovating my basement as a theater room. Inwall speakers (5.1.2 configuration ) / dedicated circuits / ethernet / 2.1 hdmi cable that goes up to where my projector will be located.
My projector is older (Benq W1070) only 1080p/60 but really wanted a receiver with 4k/120 so that I can upgrade at some point in the future when 4k/120 is more common for games.
I heard this receiver is VERY well prices as of lately in US Costcos from other viewers ($399, give or take a bit).
Love this video! I’m still hesitant on pulling the trigger on a new AVR, it this is tempting!
It’s so nice having everything tied into one device and one ecosystem
Great video. Ordered this AV last week. I recently bought an LG C1 OLED and its incompatible with my older 1.4 Yamaha receiver. I understand running an HDMI 2.1 cable from the eARC port on AV to eARC port on tv. Regarding my blu ray and Directv dvr...do I run the 2.1 cables from those devices to the 2.0 ports on the AV or to the LG tv? Thanks.
You have options for sure. You can either choose to route your cables into the TV and eARC your audio down to the receiver, or you can use the ports on the back of the AV receiver itself. For regular hdmi signals your can use the 2.0 ports leaving the 2.1 ports free for future devices.
I've tried several receivers this year including Yamaha, Onkyo, and Pioneer. I went with this Denon because it did not have the audio lag after pause using ARC that the others did when the source was DD+. It was an incredibly annoying issue with all the others.
Glad you found something that works for you!
You are an early adopter. Things will be mainstream this spring and summer.
Nicely Done.
I can't find this info. on Denon's web page, maybe you can help :)
which Wifi comes with the S760H 2.4 or 5 or.. ?
which bluetooth codec 4.2 or 5.1 or ?
when streaming a movie or high res. audio via the hdmi earc out
will the receiver utilize a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound setup or just 2 channel setup ?
Thanks in advance
Dual band 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi is present. Bluetooth I believe is 5.0 if I’m not mistaken, and when using eARC it can do full Bitstream Atmos in various surround profiles. I use this as my hdmi hub and run everything through it and it passes up to 4K 120hz flawlessly for video and audio is great as well.
This receiver support DSD audio vía hdmi from a bluray player? Thanks for the help.
Will you be getting your hands on onkyo tx nr6050? I think it will be good to see you compare the two
I wish! I can’t even consider buying it for a video and returning it (Which I’m totally against anyway after working years of retail) as I would pay insane duties and shipping to do so as this model is a Costco US exclusive. It sounds promising based on the specs and wattage.
I just got the 570bt and im loving it. If you dont care about Atmos and only have a 5.1 speaker setup its cheaper and pretty much has all the same features including 4k 120hz passthrough and 8k upscaling.
Certainly a great alternative!
That "hey Google" triggered my device. Lol
Hahaha, sorry :(
I try to edit out the triggers in most videos for that specific reason 😅
Thank you for the video! I recently acquired a PS5 and have a 4K tv. I want to run everything through the receiver to utilize my 7.1 surround. I have an old onkyo so I think I’m going to get this demon model! My question is: I will have a 2.1 hdmi cable running from the ps5 to this denon. But, do I need a 2.1 hdmi cable running from the hdmi out on the receiver to the 2.1 hdmi port on the tv in order to get the 4K/120?
Yea, you will need cables both coming in and going out from the Denon. I like the UGreen ones from Amazon as they’re cheap and run flawlessly at proper bandwidth up to 15 feet (As far as I’ve needed to test).
Did it come with an HDMI cable in the box? Just wondering if I have to buy an extra one for the eARC port.
It did not :(
I already had a series X plugged into port for for the 2.1, I think you said five and six are also 2.1 inputs? What’s interesting is that my LG C1 will let me make input for into PC mode but it will not let me change auxiliary one or auxiliary two and two PC mode to get the benefits for the PS five in those input
That’s really strange. Try turning off CEC on the Xbox, or the entire receiver. Sounds like a handshake issue where it’s not releasing the mode from the Xbox (even when off).
What do you set your upper r and l speakers to in the equalizers? And what would i set the equalizers to for the r and l surround speakers?
The upper speakers are set to Height Channels. Works great for ambient noise such as rain, wind, helicopters, etc.
Great discussion. I think this would meet most people's needs for sure. No need to go spend extra money on 8k capable systems or many of the other big name upgraded systems. This is an incredibly capable piece of hardware that will last for years as technology changes
For me and most like me, this is perfect. More wattage and biamping would have been a nice edition; however, that would have increased costs and those features hold greater values for higher end models. I’m in day 3 with this little beast and I am beyond happy
Only upgrading and debating this as need hdmi 2.1 so can pass through Dolby atmos from my xbox to my speakers.
The Achilles heel of this receiver is the amplification. It's weak.
@@LarsonChristopher How weak are we talking about? I'm about to buy my first receiver for a 5.1.2 atmos setup (klipsch 600m fronts, r 34c central and a SVS SB2000 subwoofer to start, I'll add the ceiling and back ones after). The room isn't that big tbh so I don't need to have the volume super high, I currently have a Edifier S360DB 2.1 on the tv and it sounds fine in terms of volume. I was wondering if I should buy this cheaper one, or go for a denon x2700h or above. You seem to know your stuff.
Honestly I find this more than enough for me, and tend not to take volume above 60% without the room beginning to feel uncomfortable. It drives my 7 speakers and dual subwoofer well; however, I also have a smaller room and 2 kids at home. If you’re looking for massive gains in volume, it might not hurt to go one step up, but don’t think this won’t drive your speakers you have cleanly because it certainly will.
Thanks for the great review, I plan on getting this one tomorrow, pre ious setup was 5 speaker surround, I want to get 2 more for atmos but can't install in ceiling, can I put atmos up front facing me? And if so what settings need to be made In the receiver settings? Does it also upscale video? TIA
You can do atoms in the front that try and bounce off the ceiling to simulate ceiling mounted. There are a wide variety of atoms options in this receiver, which is amazing to see at this price point.
@@qwazyd0gg should I just let audessy do the settings?
You’ll need to manually select your speaker placement, but once that’s done I would just run through audessy yes.
I pulled the trigger at Costco on sight and sold my Denon 540bt. This AVR made me throw up a pair of ceiling speakers for the Atmos assignability and a get a nice 5.1.2 setup for a small basement space. Whenever I can get my hands on a PS5, I will be ready to go playing 4k 120, 4k UHD Blu rays etc... Such a great deal for under $450 USD. It supports Dolby vision I believe as well. I guess the only concern is power so just get efficient speakers and don't expect ear piercing levels.
It does certainly support DV as well! I use it with my Apple TV 4K flawlessly. At 75w it’s not ear piercing but honestly it powers my Polk Monitor 60 II very well and I love that the volume goes up by 0.5 half steps and I haven’t had to push this beyond 50% to get more boom than I need, and the safety level for volume warnings isn’t until 75%.
This receiver has features, but it's like a medium sized sedan with a 1.0 turbo inline 4. It's fun for normal use but will belly flop if you try and push it. No manufacturer will give you everything at the entry level.
Strongly agree with this statement!
@@LarsonChristopher that's true but clearly if you are looking to power more than 7 speakers which any full size, not playing around, theater would be, then this shouldn't even be an option. This AVR is custom built for the person who is building a full featured but small home theater. It's all relative. I'm not lacking for power at all in my space sitting about 4 meters from the screen and 1 meter from the back wall.
Is there a receiver I can buy today that works with the features of the series x and PS5? 4k, hdr, 120fps, Dolby Atmos etc
In the current day there are now more models than ever. Just make sure the hdmi 2.1 bandwidth is above 28gbps as some models are very low
* Update * - My speaker setup is changing, I am leaving my 8ohm Klipsch & going with a 4ohm Martinlogan Motion series setup at 5.2.2. I am worried that this S760H will not have enough power to comfortably power my new speaker array. What are your thoughts ?. The room is only 16x16 & I am using 2 powered subs and am looking into a cooling unit (receiver is in a well ventilated area already)......
I mean, you’ll get audio for sure… I’m just also unsure as you are as to whether or not this will drive sufficient power to get the most out of those speakers. Worst case is try them first and see how it works out. I would also anticipate some heat output if you’re driving it that hard. My unit has ok-ish ventilation and has successfully warped my shelf due to heat buildup and weight :(
Got mine at Costco for 399 brand new best deal around by far for a new AVR of any brand the onkyo 6050 is another great AVR but at the time it was 100 more than the denon and now it’s currently 40 bucks more but this denon is by far superior to any onkyo I’ve ever had including a integra drx3.4
$399 is an absolute steal of a price!
man this helps me alot, appreciate the work you put into the video. Now it narrows it down for me, between this unit and the Onkyo NR6050 which is also at Costco for $499. Any thoughts between the two?
Do you need it for hdmi 2.1 either now or in the future?
Edit! Actually it looks like the onkyo is also 40gbps hdmi 2.1 X 3. I haven’t looking into the specs but reach out to me on social @qwazyd0gg and I’ll take a look. I’m working the Black Friday rush now so I’m exceptionally tied up for a bit lol
@@qwazyd0gg you're the man! just sent you a message on twitter, no rush at all. Thanks for your help!
I’m in the same boat, which one (onkyo NR6050 or this denon) should is recommended over the other?
@ptaccone which did you end up getting?
@@qwazyd0gg Hey man! I actually went for the Denon S760H. It's a beast. I liked the aesthetics of it over the Onkyo and despite the Denon having a few watts less I didn't feel like it was that big of a difference.
Any idea of the latency? with a tv with 1ms latency, if the receiver has 50ms, it kind of suck.
I’m not sure the measured latency; however, it is equips with ALLM which should in theory be designed to factor low input latency where/when required by the input source.
Hey qwazy, how many watts per channel does the s760h push when running 5.1 ( five speakers and a sub) ?
It’s hard to calculate as different speakers output different wattage at different times depending on needs and content. The rating of 75w per channel over 2 channels can’t really be stretched out to say how much each channel will run in 5.1 without more scientific testing with audio measurement equipment, to which I have not found conclusive evidence of for this receiver. I can tell you in my small home theatre, it pushes my Polk M60 II towers, M10 front height and rears, and CSI A6 very well and everything sounds tight and efficient even if the wattage is a lower advertised unit.
@@qwazyd0gg thanks very much for your reply!
Why not get the s660h then I did that since i only use 5.1
Can this be use with the one hdmi 2.1 port from new tvs.
Yup! The one port is normally your eARC port as well so it can pass down smart Tv audio to the amp and accept 120hz 4K signals from the 3 40gbps hdmi 2.1 ports on the amp too
Assuming Yamaha does come out with the promised update for the 4k/120hz, and assuming that you didn't really need that feature right away, would you rather go with this model Denon or the Yamaha TSR-700? (RX-6A Costco equivalent) The Yamaha does have quite a bit more power (100w vs. 75w) and my room is 30 feet long.
The main issue is there will never be an update for that model unless they release a new physical redesign. Yamaha is offering board replacements starting this month for those who “need” the full hdmi 2.1 support but it requires you to send in the entire unit and with how many people bought that model in the last year, I would assume a board swap would take an exceptionally long time. Even at 75w, I can’t comfortably turn the volume up beyond 50% when gaming or 65% when consuming Atmos content without it being too loud. It honestly surprises me how well it pushes my Polk M60 II towers and the rest of my 7.1 setup.
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like I will be keeping the Denon.
Glad I could help :)
If you care about hi res stereo audio more than HT usage consider the yamaha when its on sale and they give you a new model with the hdmi update. It has front preouts with unprocessed hi-res audio to utilize external amp.
Everything should be different with manufacturers and HDMI 2.1 in the spring and summer. Manufacturing HDMI is still a cluster over in Asia. BUT all manufacturers have been working hard in this problem. Most will have new models next year, Sony included (Sony CI receivers are the most bulletproof of all the receivers, and a large reason why us Custom Install guys have used them as our bread and butter theater receivers).
I do think that this nice unit will be discounted down to $399.99 at Costco during the Black Friday/Christmas season and/or sometime during the next year, like they did several times with the AVR-S750H precursor model.
There’s a possibility; however, it’s already so cheap for what it is and Costco’s price is already under Denon’s msrp that I don’t know how it could get any cheaper. I would grab one now and do a return/repurchase if it goes on sale further.
It's currently priced too low due to the availability. Why would a manufacturer prioritize an entry level item over a premium item when production can't keep up with demand? HDMI 2.1 is in the early adopter phase, things will be different next year. You're better off waiting until after CEDIA and get a receiver in the spring or summer.
Besides some guys will find out this receiver has no where enough power for their needs, and will be selling these receivers on eBay and Craigslist.
It’s at Costco 399 right now
Do you have any links for hdmi 2.1 cables that are good and certification sticker.
Canada or US my friend?
amzn.to/30yXs58 These are what I use. I have 4 10 foot cables and they’ve all been flawless
@@qwazyd0gg USA
Which is better Yamaha TSR-700 o el Denon AVR-S760H ?
Unless it’s been redesigned, the TSR-700 only offers 24gbps hdmi 2.1, which is a VERY low spec hdmi 2.1 bandwidth that may cause issues with 4K/120hz
what is the difference with the X series ? .......S series ....and x series ...i have the avr x1500h
4K 120hz and 1080p 120hz
Just picked one up to replace my 17 year old Pioneer VSX-816 for $369.00. Seems to be the best bang for the buck.
They’ve gotten even better with their pricing as time moves forward. Love to see that, especially now with EVERYTHING seeming to go up in price lately.
This would be perfect, except no pre outs. Im leaning towards the Onkyo at Costco because of that. What are your thoughts?
Which onkyo?
@@qwazyd0gg TX NR 595
They have it at Costco as well. Thanks for the reply!
Are you looking specifically for hdmi 2.1 support?
@@qwazyd0gg not necessarily but it would be nice to future proof. I’m more of a music lover than cinema guy.
If you have no need for things like hdmi 2.1 or VRR then your doors are WIDE open with fantastic options from the last couple of years for sure :)
Does anyone have a problem with a samsung tv not turning on the receiver? it turns it off and when its on it works good, however when i turn on the tv it automatically goes to TV speakers (when I had optical cable with an old receiver it would allways be set on the optical) thank you in advance hope there is a solution to this
Sounds like an arc handoff issue. Try power cycling both together by unplugging them and then plug them back in together
@P T i know my parents have a sony and i tried it and it worked perfect! Next tv is a75k :)
Good Evening so I ordered this and set it up this is amazing I only have 1 problem... I now want more speakers this amazing the price is amazing, i'm gonna upgrade to a new 1 that's coming out for 699.99
It shows a great value for sure!
Any reason not to upgrade to AVR-S960H since they are the same price?
960h, at least upon first release had an incompatibility issue with their hdmi 2.1 for 4K 120hz motion. They may have corrected the later models; however, the original releases needed an external box requiring power and dual hdmi 2.1 cable leads to correct it.
@@qwazyd0gg Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it.
Turn off CEC so all components won’t turn on all other systems.
That’s exactly what I had to do. It’s a mild shame; however, changing inputs myself is more livable than them changing for me every 10 seconds.
Just got this for around $315 usd, really excited!
Wow, that’s a steal!
I would love a gaming AVR. I need a new one.
BUT: I want a compact one. Not a massive one. Why is there not a 1U for factor for this? Like max 30 watts per channel, choice between 5.1 and 3.1.2 (I have a problem with placing speakers behind me, don't judge), just 2 hdmi in 1 out and 1 spdif, banana plugs. Maybe the incredible luxury of a single headphone with virtual surround, or not.
Why do I need Airplay, Wifi and Bluetooth and all that other shit? Keep it.
Maybe it's too niche in the early stages of finding qualified HDMI 2.1 boards. Just a guess, I honestly don't know for sure :(
Does someone make a 9.1 version of this? Aim currently using a 5.2.2 and would really like to add 2 more speakers without spending $1300 or more
There is one version up from this, which is 7.2, but anything larger with hdmi 2.1 features means a hefty premium like the onkyo RZ50
@@qwazyd0gg yeah mine already does 7.2. Hell. I’ve never used zone 2 on a receiver and would much rather have those be used as extra main channels instead of being there for no reason. Or at least give us the option
This model seems to have been discontinued. Is there a successor?
It was a Costco exclusive so they may have rebranded it to something else
How does this compare to the Onkyo TX-NR5100?
The NR5100 only offers 3 24gbps HDMI 2.1 ports vs the 3 40gbps HDMI 2.1 ports. Lower bandwidth ports may result in loss of current or future functionalities.
Denon is a MUCH a better and stable company than Onkyo. Onkyo has made some of the absolute worst receivers and has pissed off a generation of consumers.
@@LarsonChristopher What do you think about Yamaha vs Denon, Chris?
This receiver does not like my Xbox series X and Samsung q90 at all.always seems to reboot my tv every time I launch a game in game mode.once I get it to pass through.it reboots the tv when I quit the game.please test this out if you have a Samsung tv.
Unfortunately I have no Samsung panels in my home; however, keep an eye on the comments section for other users who might.
@@qwazyd0gg thanks.i bought this specifically for 4k@120 as it works fine passing through signal with the PS5 and series X But I think when I enable VRR and ALLM on the Xbox that’s when it starts freaking out.i think it’s too much for it to handle and it limits the signal being sent to the Tv resulting in it rebooting itself.i also checked the FRL and it says 28gbs like if it’s capped as well.Using series X hdmi cable and a certified Ultra HDMI cable as well.Oh and btw,the xbox works flawlessly and it doesn’t have issues when plugged directly in HDMI input 4.it’s only when I try to pass it through the denon.i think I’m gonna return it and just continue using my onkyo nr676 until the iron out all these bugs.
Are you using HDMI advanced and an HDMI 2.1 port. Just so weird that it’s showing 28gbps for the FRL and not 40Gbps. Just for fun I would try another HDMI cable and different port on the AVR. That’s funny, I just upgraded from the 676 as well :)
@@qwazyd0gg oh yeah man.I’ve done it all.i even went so far as to contacting denon and we troubleshooted everything for an hour.I’ve used every type of ultra cable there is and nothing.so I just decided to plug my xbox in through hdmi input 4 on the tv and just use the receiver on earc input 3 on the tv.so damn confusing but I just don’t think they’ve perfected it yet.
That’s rough man :(
Is this still the best avr for a series x now? Or is there a better avr to get?
I would say it’s still one of the best in its pricing category still; however, there are many higher wattage models for more money available in the modern day.
@@qwazyd0gg it’s just very confusing as there are loads to choose from. You have the s760 for £600 then the next one up is £700 and so on. I don’t know which one is best. I don’t need 9 channels so maybe the others cost more due to more channels? I currently have the Denon x2500h. I just have 5.1 plus 2 upfiring Atmos speakers
Channels and wattage have a lot to do with cost evaluations, as does the calibration types and feature sets such as airplay 2 and hdr10+.
@@qwazyd0gg I’m guessing the s760 won’t sound any better than my current one? It’s just that it’s hdmi 2.1 so will allow the 120hz pass through etc
More than likely the case
Can u add power amps here?
Unfortunately not :(
That remote is the same remote as the Marantz SR5010.
Not shocked as they are partner companies
Why no pre outs for front
🤷♂️. Possibly cost savings
Such a lower power rating. Is there anything meeting these specs that can push high power floor speakers?
RZ50 packs a decent punch, but punhes your wallet too :(
@@qwazyd0gg I will check that out. Thanks for the feedback. I have typically only used Denon and Pioneer, might be time for a change.
I was hardcore Onkyo for YEARS; however, they were too late to the game with hdmi 2.1 :(
I just got this receiver a week ago and I'm having this issue where my receiver won't turn on with my tv via E-arc connection. But it will shut off when turning off my tv. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong in the settings I guess? Anyone else have this issue?
Oddly enough I’m having the exact opposite issue. When I turn on my TV the amp turns on via CEC, then the amp turns on EVERYTHING connected to it as well. Xbox, PS5, and Apple TV. It’s super annoying :(
@@qwazyd0gg I figured that part out. And turned off cec on my ps5 and series x. Now they don't turn on my other devices when turning on my tv. But still have to manually go tv pop up hub on Samsung and turn on the receiver from the hub. It definitely is super annoying . I'm guessing it's a bug fix?
I tried doing that; however, then it stopped sending Atmos sound from my Xbox and Apple TV 4K, which is super weird.
@@qwazyd0gg wow! That is odd. Hahah.. other than that. I'm really liking the receiver though. Lol...👍🏻🤣
Same dude! Sound is exceptional, and the audessy setup is way more sensitive and accurate that my onkyo was. I’ve got a new RTI 12” sub coming to round out the setup that should be here next week.
Is there difference this one to the avr s960h.
The s960h suffered from the hdmi 2.1 bug or incompatibility presented in 2020/2021 due to using the older hdmi 2.1 boards. It requires a patch box to function.
@@qwazyd0gg What about Denon DRA-800H 2-Channel Stereo Network Receiver for Home.
Same concerns. To my knowledge Denon has released only 3 models currently with functional hdmi 2.1 that does not require a board replacement or additional external equipment.
Probably the best AVR you can get for the price with proper HDMI 2.1
Exactly!
And they still have issues with 2.1 why everyone is such in a rush is beyond me. 2.1 is overkill for 99% of people, even online gaming is not really needed, yes its slightly faster but it also still has the Panasonic chip that has flaws.
I would strongly avoid Onkyo at any price. As far as this receiver, it has solid features, but it's a weak amplifier.
Can I connect 2 subwoofers to this receiver
Yes you can as it has 2 sub outs
@@qwazyd0gg thanks I just ordered this how is the sound....
Honestly it’s amazing. I have 2 kids and my wife works from home, so I didn’t need max wattage. I can turn this up to 55-60 and it’s more than loud enough with headroom left over if needed
@@qwazyd0gg nice I just received mines today about to set it up
Any AVR where all HDMI ports are HDMI 2.1?
I believe the Onkyo RZ50
@@qwazyd0gg Why are these clowns counting 24Gbps as HDMI 2.1.
40Gbps is already gimped HDMI 2.1.
Guess have to wait a few more gens to get an AVR with all HDMI ports at 40-48Gbps bandwidth.
Unfortunately it’s still in the early stages. If we give it time it will soon become the standard.
Marantz SR8015 y yamaha RX-V6A
I held out for the big brother, the x1700H and really loving it.
I strongly debated it as well, but the cost spread was a little more than I was comfortable with for the return in performance.
@@qwazyd0gg I've always known about Denon but never owned one until now, I did my research, but since it's still new not much I could find on it, only that the X series uses higher end components and it's their newest line in 2021. I'm just fresh out of the box so time will tell.
That’s correct, the X has better codec support, higher wattage, better components, more preout support, and 3D audio support as the key differences.
@@qwazyd0gg I'm only basing my decision on it's construction along with the fact it's a 2021 model, being a gamer I've read that there's been issues with crossovers or something to that effect, when it comes to consoles on the earlier models? Though I don't console I'm a PC gamer and have my gaming machine hooked up to it.
The 760h is also a 2021 model. All other models before these two from Denon had faulty or under spec’d hdmi boards that would not work with VRR/ALLM and would just black screen on anything using the before mentioned options. Denon was offering a bypass module for free, but it required an extra hdmi and power adapter per piece if additional hardware.
Is this a good product?
I have a couple videos on it already. The short answer is, it’s one of the best value receivers for the money in 2022 if you need HDMI 2.1; however, it is very entry level as well.
@@qwazyd0gg Thanks for the swift reply.
Anytime :)
Canadians.. Yam-ah-haw! Lol
Lol sound aboot right there eh
It's actually hdmi 2.3....bought this but since I'm not a gamer I went with a Yamaha Adventeg I prefer the sound and power capabilities of the Yamaha. The denon is great for beginners though or small rooms.
Hdcp 2.3 you mean? The Aventage series are power houses for sure!
Is it better than the denon 660?
660h suffers from a faulty hdmi 2.1 board that was found to be not compatible with next gen consoles or GPUs :(
@@qwazyd0gg Oh dear. Its a good job you said that before I bought it! Is the one in your video better then? Strange they didnt fix it in a firmware update?
Firmware wasn’t the issue on the older one, it was a noncompliant hdmi 2.1 board. Most manufactures got hit with it in late 2020 and early 2021. Denon is sending a separate box per hdmi port to fix it, but each box needs an hdmi lead and a power source. The 760h was their first entry level consumer unit with a proper board.
@@qwazyd0gg Ok thanks. With my old amp I was finding newer bluerays sounding quite flate with bad lipsync..is this because it wasnt decoding the newer stuff?
Dolittle was awful on my 15 yr old Kenwood for example?
Probably a bandwidth issue. Signal can drift if the transmission rates sent can’t be decoded fast enough on legacy equipment.
All receivers have their issues. Research and you will see.. just pray the unit you buy is solid.. denon overheats and has hdmi board issue especially 2020 models.so does yamaha.. Marantz is just denon so similar problems.. pioneer and onkyo have reliability issues but no overheating or board issues..it just works or dies..there you go..🤣🤣🤟
Such a brutal industry lol
I have owned both brand new and refurbished Denon and Marantz receivers, they do run hot but mine have never overheated, unless people are stupid and put them in places they get no airflow. Never had reliability issues with Denon or Marantz, my X3500 still runs strong and sees a lot of use daily, has been accidentally left on, playing, for a weekend. It was hot but never any issues. I have experienced issues with Yamaha and Onkyo, in the past, but never Denon or Marantz (had good luck with Pioneer as well).
Just picked one up at Costco for $200.
Felt like I was robbing them.
You’re joking! That’s insanely cheap!
I love tech but it ain't free and stocks are one way to make money.
;...I bought these:
Rivian
Amazon
Facebook
Apple
Microsoft
Apple
I hold Rivian, Amazon, and Apple as well. I do wish I had have sold the ceiling at $170usd for Rivian since my IPO buy-in was under $100. Still sitting on profits after the FOMO rush and sell off though.
Orrrrrr just plug your console into the TV with ARC and an older AVR.
What about users with limited hdmi 2.1 ports, say in my case with only 2 hdmi 2.1 ports or in some instances some Sony TVs with only 1 hdmi 2.1 port
I would never buy another Denon. Two I have owned just stopped working after less then two years. Both had bad HDMI boards. Buyer take note. Denon I am convinced has production control issues.
This does not instil confidence in my purchase :(
It's not just Denon, most companies sourced their boards from one supplier and had problems. The HDMI board failures are more price point driven than brand driven. Onkyo has had the most problems. Sony ES and Anthem receivers have been very solid for a long time. Yamaha makes good receivers but the MusicCast firmware has had a bunch of problems this year and effects receivers, streamers, MusicCast amps, soundbars, self powered speakers, etc. but Yam's hardware is reliable, lol.
Guys, FFS, this entry level price point gives up good amplification. A receiver's main job is amplification. BUT, you will never hear the amps
'S limitations if you have speakers that are entry level. Step up to the 960 if you have decent speakers.
It depends on what your needs are. For me, the 960 does not offer HDMI 2.1 VRR, ALLM, or 120Hz support, which is probably 80% of my decision behind changing from my Onkyo NR676 as I wanted to connect all my 120Hz devices and only had 1 available HDMI 2.1 port on my TV.
Is the 960H out yet?
Not yet; however, here in Canada they have I believe it’s the 1700x which seems like an upgraded variant of this receiver.
Qwazyd0gg the new ones are, check serial number ending 77xxx higher has 2.1. Just remember you are early adopters. Next summer most companies will have 2.1
Mike Canaris they are for higher end dealers and custom installers. I operate in the custom install realm of audio video.
We getting screwed in canada brother
I know man, very few things sell for just the difference in exchange these days :(
They were selling the Yamaha TSR-700 (same as RX-6A) for $339 at Costco as well. Costco is amazing.
Does the TSR suffer from the same faulty board as the V4A/V6A?
Qwazyd0gg pretty sure the answer is yes...
It’s essentially the same as the RX-V6A and that one def. has that issue
That’s a shame :(
boredom boredom boredom blah blah blah and sounds great .... 😒🙄
Any tips to stay engaging that you may use in your own online content creation?
This entry level receiver is mah at best...anyone who's serious about gaming knows it comes at a price and your AvR is gonna be the engine that drives EVERTHING. So you need to do yourself a favor and buy a MARANTZ and click the dislike button and do yourself a favor and subscribe to the "I sound like every other un boxing douch channel 😂.
Lmfao 😂
I’m looking forward to your dedicated Marantz review when it’s available Medi
Onkyo remains trash. Stick with Denon/Marantz for the real deal.
I always enjoyed my Onkyo receivers, but I have to say I’m really impressed with my Denon so far other than the CEC issues, but that appears to be less of a Denon issue and more of a “no defined standard and CEC is generally a mess” issue.
