Customer Reviews for Denon HEOS AVR 5.1 Channel AV Receiver (Black)
Other receivers competing in this range get several things wrong that take away from the experience: 1) Too many rear I/O jacks, 2) too many front controls, 3) fragmented on-screen menus (GUI), 4) a complex remote, and 5) cumbersome size and weight. The HEOS AVR gets all of these right by having modern digital inputs and hardly anything else, nice plug-in speaker jacks, NO GUI (instead entirely app-controlled), a single front control for volume, compact size, and a tiny remote that you don't really even need. The result is that both the hardware and the software step out of the way of your other devices, while functioning superbly as a 5.1 class D integrated amplifier and wireless music streamer. I deducted one star on ease of setup and ease of use because navigating the app is occasionally frustrating, but overall it is decent. I deducted one star because it is missing some commonly-found USEFUL features: headphone jack, HDMI pass-through, and input upscaling.
No, this product is not for an audio hobbyist or someone with a lot of devices, but you are not considering this product if you are and Denon has you covered elsewhere. If you want a ultra-clean setup that has great sound and doesn't compete for space on your TV screen to do its job, this device is hard to beat.
