I have it, it works! The only bummer is that it's 75 Watt but it's replacing my 90W Denon so it's not that much less powerful. But more than worth it for all the features that it offers. I have it hooked up to a PS5 and Xbox and all features work!!!! It's been a long time waiting for a receiver like this and at $440 it's a great price.
Don't worry about what the wattage rating is. Most receiver manufacturers inflate the power output. The Denon also is backed up by high current, like Marantz receivers ( sister company).
Yea after some time with it I've pretty much adjusted to the sound and unless some significant jump in quality comes out for under $800 (which I doubt, Best Buy model is only an additional 5w per channel) I won't be upgrading any time soon
I got this late September and swapped out my older Yamaha 6750 for it. My thoughts after a few weeks hooked up to my Bowers and Wilkins DM602 S3s are that the drop in power is noticed in that I have to turn it up higher to get the same amount of volume as before but I’m not pushing the system. The room calibration is FAR better than before however and the 4K pass through actually works well. There is one issue when it comes to swapping HDMI sources; when I go from two active HDMI connections (both Apple TV and Directv) it likes to cycle back to the previous source. I’m sure I need to do something to fix it, but that’s more user error on my part than a Denon issue. Overall I’m happy with the system: I can use the 120hz at 1080p after many years of not being able to (Sony x850c), have modern inputs for my ps5 and will have a compatible system when I upgrade my tv.
@@JacobDarkOfficialI was thinking about upgrading my receiver and am wondering if you still think this is a good one still. And did you figure out the input select?
@@diothar I still think it's a great choice and it's still my receiver. I did figure it out, it ended up being a setting on my Samsung TV that was causing it
What about 2 channel music playback quality? Is this one comparable against, say, entry level Yamahas? I keep reading that for music, Yamahas are hard to beat. My movies-to-music usage ratio is about 50-50 so this is an important consideration for me.
Great vid, thx. Audio newb here, what do you really notice about the reduction in power? You simply have to turn it up louder? or is the an actual quality/clarity reduction?
I’m wondering if this will support Dolby vision AND VRR while both are activated? I just bought and returned a Denon AVR-S960H because it was one or the other, it couldn’t support both on at the same time. And the Denon I just bought and returned was around $800, so I’m just curious if this now $500-$600 in the video will do it? Would be a big $$ saver if it did.
Any issues with this receiver automatically turning on EVERYTHING connected to it and automatically/periodically switching its own inputs while using it. Mine turns on my Apple TV, series x, and ps5 on every boot and will sometimes auto switch to my Apple TV while I’m gaming.
I only have issues when switching active inputs, it likes to delay itself, sometimes I have to switch back and forth for it to fully switch. My Series X won't turn it on, can't figure out how to, those are my only issues.
Can anyone confirm if any Denon receiver is able to put out 1440p resolution? I have my ps5 directly hooked up to my Denon 2700h and when I do the 1440p test on the ps5 it says it’s not supported but yet when I connect the ps5 directly to my Samsung Q70r it works perfectly.
@@JacobDarkOfficial makes sense so there’s no point then and I think I’m having a issue with my DTSX upmix. I only hear the height channels with my dolby atmos I’m not sure what to do can you see if you hear any sound coming out of the height channels?
Hi, am I correct? You can use 4k 120hz and your connection is something like this: xbox series x ----> denon-----> tv even if your tv hasn't got 2.1 earc port? Because, as I remember correctly, only lg oleds and sony have 2.1 earc port.
@@JacobDarkOfficial oh sorry, I meant 2.1 port on tv. Xbox--->denon----> tv (earc port, without 2.1). My tv has only one hdmi 2.1 port and earc port isnt 2.1 .In this configuration 4k 120hz is possible?
PS5 HDMI ports capped at 35Gbps, so as long as its a hdmi 2.1 cable it will work with a Sony. I replaced my Sony cable with a better full bandwith 10ft Amazon basics HDMI2.1 48Gbps 8k cable for less than 10 bucks and they work with all with my OLED and 3070 laptop with no issues. These cables are finally close the prices of the the old HDMI 2.0b cables
If you have the option I'd always try to get the latest features however tech changes all the time so as soon as you do something new will come out. I'm not sure how much of a difference it'll make but I'm happy as is
I just bought this thing and whenever the PS5 is feeding the receiver 4k120hz HDR 4:2:2 the video signal drops, and every three seconds the screen goes black for 10 seconds. I'm unsure on how to fix this, is this a common problem? It sounds like the HDMI 2.1 bug that was a problem with denon and marantz in 2021.
I cant figure out how to get my series x to turn on this receiver automatically when i turn the xbox on. My old yamaha receiver did this. I have CEC enabled on both.
Same issue, didn't have this issue with my One X, but Series X now uses CEC and ever since I've had that issues. Hopefully someone comments with a solution, this even happened on my old Denon 960H, seems to be an Xbox issue
Nice video. I prefer to connect my PS5 directly to my TV for video. For sound, I connect the hdmi from the Denon directly to the Earc hdmi input of the tv. I noticed that you have your devices connected directly to the receiver. Is there a reason to connect all of the devices directly to the Denon?
Considering that the receiver us designed to be the HUB of the system.... Plug everything into receiver and have one hdmi going out from receiver to TV...instead if two...or more ....
this is a way receiver is usually used. This is what receiver is for :) in the past TVs also did not have so many inputs so you could easily have more devices than inputs
Hello i have an philips 903 oled plus tv apparently it has only 100hz 2.0 hdmi, i just bought the ps5 what do i have to do to get the 120hz , will getting one of these AVR fix the problem i bought my tv 2 years ago and it was very expensive , please help
Hi everyone, just scored an Xbox series X and i'm looking to upgrade without breaking the bank. So I have a few questions. I see the Denon S650/750 receivers are marked way down, I assume because they are 4k 60hz and are being replaced by the S760 4k 120hz model. I have a couple year old, middle of the road LG 4k tv that I'm not sure is 120hz either. Let's assume it isn't because I highly doubt it. Also my current AVR doesn't even support 4k pass through. So here's my dilemma. If I buy the Denon 650/750, will it work with my Xbox Series X and pass through it's 4k to my tv (albeit at 60hz)? I realize it wouldn't be 120hz, but would I at least be able to step up to piping 4k through to my tv? Or does the 60hz vs 120hz difference mean I'd just have a dead black screen? Appreciate any help and some possible levels of expense vs benefit vs what would totally not work at all.
@@JacobDarkOfficial so if I'm going with entry level Denon, these are my options from cheapest to more expensive? 1. Buy the S650/750 - get 4k but limited to 60hz 2. Buy the S760 - get 4k limited to 60hz but could upgrade TV for 120hz 3. Buy the S760 and replace TV to match - get full 4k @ 120hz
@@brettdavis9575 remember you can always bypass the pass through feature. Assuming your TV has an eArc hdmi port, that is. So if you went with the 750 but got a TV capable of 120hz, you can just run the hdmi 2.1 from the series x to the TV, then another 2.1 from the earc slot into the receivers earc in for audio. That's the current workaround anyways. I'm kind of in the same boat, I have the series x and a 120hz tv, but the 760h is like $600 everywhere right now, I think I'm going to grab the 750/650 myself.
I have an onkyo nr676 that does 4K but not hdmi 2.1. Is there not a way on the Xbox series x to send the picture to my lg c1 and then send lossless audio straight to my receiver? I have bluray players that allow this option
If your tv and receiver both support eArc you can however eArc for me was troublesome and led to a lot of delay problems with the audio, going through the HDMI 2.1 ports is your best bet
@@JacobDarkOfficial I’m not sure if it does or not but I thought it has hdmi pass through. I just want the 4K 120hz picture to get to the LG C1 from my Xbox series X and also get lossless audio from the Xbox to the receiver. Or the only other alternative I know is to just go from the Xbox straight to the tv and then possibly send the audio to the receiver, however, I’m afraid the audio will be processed down and not be “lossless”. My wife is gonna be pissed if I have to upgrade the receiver now 🤪
This receiver keeps shutting my Samsung q90 off as Its in game mode as I launch a game on my series x.i also cant use arc because it’s on input 3 and the game port is on input 4 am I doing something wrong?i also have 2.1 cables.
@@JacobDarkOfficial yeah I have them both going through the receiver as well but idk why it’s doing that.was just thinking of plugging Xbox directly in 4 and then input 3 (arc) for the receiver.funny because it doesn’t behave like this with my ps5 at all. Only the series x.it doesn’t let me see the info on the screen.Instead it goes blank for a while and then it shows then info.And on the ps5 it shows it onscreen.idk but it’s driving me crazy.
ARC is a universal setting, you need to connect the Arc output on the TV to the AV ARC main output, and set up the TV and the AV to use Arc. That way any input into the TV or internal channel will get fed to the AV audio.
@@JacobDarkOfficial yea from what I’m reading, the ps5’s 3D audio only works with headphones, and now they have a version for TV’s(virtual surround), but not for receivers. I have the 760h, from costco. I’ll probably upgrade to the 1700h because I have $550 in Best Buy gift cards. So if they stock that receiver within the 90 day costco return policy, I’ll make the switch. I really like the sound of the 760H, but I notice sometimes when switching between my inputs, or starting games, the picture stops passing through the receiver, and I have to shut everything off, and turn it back on again. Are you, or is anyone else experiencing this?
@@JacobDarkOfficial I know, It still baffles me, I can't get it, its heave, runs hot, then fans turn on, idk, I gave up on my Home Theatre system when I found out buying one of those set-up 5.1 soundbars with/without blue-ray was 30 dollars cheaper than the cheapest Receiver. Now ofc It took me time to learn that what I was looking for was a 2.1 with the chance of temporarily do some DSP effects, preferably by the AI of Sony to sort of accommodate well sounds in a stage as it were, for movies.
Lol I’ve got a vsx1123 pioneer which I guess I’m selling it’s got 165watts per channel 7.1 but it may do 4k but not 2.1 the crazy thing is most ppls ts don’t have 2.1 98% of TVs are still 2.0 hdmi..as there’s zero 8k shows once in a blue moon like the. Olympics was 8k..anyway 75w sucks..I’m using a good optical cable isn’t now, and connecting hdmi direct from my Xbox to my projector..so anyone wants a great pioneer, let me know..
Funny how they released this and It didn’t really support Xbox x 120hz …even though it said it was it really wasn’t lol…most ppl don’t even realize it, don’t worry pioneer, Denon, and marantz didn’t or doesn’t yet either, u less they fixed everything,I’m sure there’s ppl who still haven’t realized it yet..

DENON AVR S760H vs x1700h ?
Hello, if it can handle 120Hz at 4k, can it handle 240Hz at FullHd 1080p ? I would like to connect it to a 240Hz projector. Thnx
Not that I'm aware of, I believe 120 would be the max
I use game or CBL/SAT to play?

Apparently that “3D audio” on the x-1700h has nothing to do with the ps5’s ‘3D audio’. It’s a blu tooth thing.
Will have to look into that, if so there's really no reason to upgrade as I'm now getting used the the sound
@@JacobDarkOfficial yea from what I’m reading, the ps5’s 3D audio only works with headphones, and now they have a version for TV’s(virtual surround), but not for receivers. I have the 760h, from costco. I’ll probably upgrade to the 1700h because I have $550 in Best Buy gift cards. So if they stock that receiver within the 90 day costco return policy, I’ll make the switch.
I really like the sound of the 760H, but I notice sometimes when switching between my inputs, or starting games, the picture stops passing through the receiver, and I have to shut everything off, and turn it back on again. Are you, or is anyone else experiencing this?
@@carnage4907 I don't have to restart but sometimes I'll have to give manually switch with the remote instead of it auto switching
@@JacobDarkOfficial Perhaps I have a defect. Maybe an exchange is in order
Very possible, new product
omg 400$+ "budget" THISISFINE
Absolutely is, you're not going to find an HDMI 2.1 receiver for less
@@JacobDarkOfficial I know, It still baffles me, I can't get it, its heave, runs hot, then fans turn on, idk, I gave up on my Home Theatre system when I found out buying one of those set-up 5.1 soundbars with/without blue-ray was 30 dollars cheaper than the cheapest Receiver. Now ofc It took me time to learn that what I was looking for was a 2.1 with the chance of temporarily do some DSP effects, preferably by the AI of Sony to sort of accommodate well sounds in a stage as it were, for movies.
Lol I’ve got a vsx1123 pioneer which I guess I’m selling it’s got 165watts per channel 7.1 but it may do 4k but not 2.1 the crazy thing is most ppls ts don’t have 2.1 98% of TVs are still 2.0 hdmi..as there’s zero 8k shows once in a blue moon like the. Olympics was 8k..anyway 75w sucks..I’m using a good optical cable isn’t now, and connecting hdmi direct from my Xbox to my projector..so anyone wants a great pioneer, let me know..
Funny how they released this and It didn’t really support Xbox x 120hz …even though it said it was it really wasn’t lol…most ppl don’t even realize it, don’t worry pioneer, Denon, and marantz didn’t or doesn’t yet either, u less they fixed everything,I’m sure there’s ppl who still haven’t realized it yet..
75Watt is a pure joke
Depends on the user I guess. Coming from 90W I wasn't sure but I'm in a small apartment and it's just fine for me.
@@JacobDarkOfficial I forgot there are more powerful new models with 8K support like DENON X2700H
So if the chip cost $600 how is the receiver only 400 lol
Dumb questions. What does it do and what else do you need to buy to go with it? Thanks
That's a hard to answer question without knowing what specifically you're looking for
@@JacobDarkOfficial No worries. I’m tech challenged. Interesting video though.
Basically if you get a PS5 or Series X you'll want a TV and receiver that have HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K at 120Hz
@@JacobDarkOfficial Cool. Looks like I have some great Christmas gift ideas. Thanks JD.
