The best customer reviews 31 of 31 people found this review helpful. Receiver solid C-level Mason Based on a sub-$ 400 budget, I focused on that and the Yamaha 465. In a survey that money actually came and took the decision to speak with a knowledgeable man from Crutchfield. Having established that until last night and have played with him most of the day, I am very happy with my purchase. I shot some Blu-Ray with both PCM and DTS HD-MA / true and was very pleased with the improvement over the standard DD / DTS. The set was higher. The first scene from my favorite movie kids, cars, and was not weak. The first race scene was loud and clear properly. The beat of my stars comes from the fact that the manual is horrible. I gave up on him from the start and was by trial and error with the menu screen, which is more than enough, but you have a basic sense of technology to take this path. On another note setup, the microphone setting well and made a big difference in sound from the speakers in my SS before versus after 24 of 27 people found the following review helpful. Upconverting excellent choice for a great price By Joe Miner Because I am new to the world A / V, I have a lot of research before I decide on which receiver to buy. I worked hard to discover all the lingo and I checked all available options under $ 400, including those with built-in DVD players, etc. I read every review I could find for this is great ([...]) Questions posted in the AVS forums, etc. I am very thorough when I spending so much money. I do not need a 7.1 system, so I concentrated on 5.1 systems. Although I am only a 2.0 setup now (only front left and right), I want to be able to see the other speakers and a sub to add in the future. So my review is just about my 2.0 setup. I can no feedback on the full 5.1 Surround setup One of the things I was looking for was upconverting (the ability to all my components (HDMI, component cable and composite) to connect the receiver and run one HDMI cable to TV for video and speaker cables to the speakers sound). You can also use HDMI for sound as you use your TV speakers, but if you're buying a good receiver, it only makes sense to buy decent speakers to take advantage of it. Upconverting was necessary for me because I install the TV on the wall about 15 'away from the receiver and do not want to buy lots of long cables for each type of input and then to run them behind the wall to have. I was also looking for a receiver with plenty of inputs for all my components (HD DVR, Wii, DVD player, video baby monitor) and still have room to handle more pieces to add in the future. I am happy to report that I am very happy with my purchase. The receiver did a good job of upconverting analog video inputs and they all look very nice on my 46 "LCD HDMI video looks amazing. For audio, I use XL focal speakers and great sound! They carry very low and the dialogue is good and clear. I have not run Audyssey again because the TV is still on the wall, but it sounds good, even without being signed. I give an update once I have everything to its final position. I just wanted to get my first budget as posted there is not much yet on Amazon and I wanted to let everyone know that this is an excellent choice. The only drawback I can think is that the manual is not super useful. You can find lots of help online, especially batpig.com. Do not worry, this is a legitimate site. You can google if you want. This is an excellent resource for information Denon receivers. 12 of 12 people found this review helpful. exceptional surround sound and ease of use by Charles E.
