Denon AVR-X6700H 8K Ultra HD 11.2 Channel (140Watt X 11) AV Receiver - 3D Audio & Video with IMAX Enhanced, Built for Gaming, Music Streaming, Alexa + HEOS

This upgrade from my older Denon catches up with current technology and has enough HDMI inputs to control all devices. Previously, my wife just wanted the movie sound to play in the 2-channel kitchen like it does in the 7.1 channel living room. That would work for any stereo signal, but 7.1 could not be down-graded to 2.0 and instead thought the kitchen was only surround-back if the source signal was multichannel Dolby, so you could hear the music but no dialogue. She didn't want to hear that explanation. This unit solves that and allows 7.1 to translate to stereo in both zones 2 and 3. Looking at the back of this unit, you would think you could use the final set of speaker outputs for a stereo zone 4, but there are actually only 3 amps, which can be programmed to handle a wide variety of speaker configurations. Personally I still need a second amp for zone 4 stereo, but this unit still controls it all. The zone two video HDMI out allows you to watch a movie with sound in zone 2 while simultaneously watching something else in zones 1 and 3 with 7.1 sound. The app control on iPhone is a little bit hard to comprehend just because it has so many control choices. We use Harmony app as the iPhone remote for all devices including this unit, Apple TV, X-box, and Blu-Ray (I highly recommend Harmony), but that won't let you separately control volume across different zones whereas the Denon app does. God help me when the teens move out and the wife wants the volume adjusted in zone 3. Overall this is a great unit, and having the second amp works just fine as compared with spending 4x as much for the only higher model Denon that might have avoided the need. Tip for control app: choose "source" for zones 2 and 3 to watch and listen to the same thing as zone 1. If zone 1 is on Apple TV and you put zone 2 on Apple TV you'll hear nothing on Zone 2. Set Zone 2 to source to hear the movie playing in zone 1.

This receiver was exactly what I needed to replace an earlier model that failed: an 11 channel Atmos AV receiver. The fact is that this item was manufactured in about 2020 and has been sitting in a warehouse somewhere for five or so years. Personally, I don't care that it's not not most recent version (the X6800 is) but it saved me $1000 or so and gives me exactly what I wanted. Sounds great.

Plenty of power. Full of options and connectivity for all your A/V components. Add your VCR, Cassette deck, multi CD/DVD player. Your 4K player for movie time. This receiver can handle it. It delivers superb surround sound for every movie. The setup mic can accommodate up to eight listening positions in your home theater. I am enjoying my movies once again. Upgraded from a slightly older Pioneer A/V receiver. Used 10 awg wire for my fronts and center speakers and 12 awg for the rest. All-in-all, really awesome 11.2 set-up for a theater like sound at home. And I never have to say, "down in front". Highly recommend this AV receiver, for a mid-sized budget.

Update number 2: The company i purchased the reciever from (through Amazon) has actually refunded me almost $100 for absolutely no reason. I didn't ask for it and certainly didn't expect it after 2 years of owning this reciever! A+++ seller!!! I have spoken with Audio Mart in Kansas and they have advised me on how to use the qr code label at FedEx to send the reciever to them. Estimated turn around is about 1-2 weeks. They were super nice and helpful. So far this process has been excellent and I am pleased with everyone i have contacted! My pile of garbage made it 2 years to the week from the day I ordered it. Then, it got the flashing red light of death. I disconnected all the speakers from it then restarted it to see if there was a fault in my speaker wire. It did the same thing on power up with no speakers connected, a flashing red light. So I figured out how to get into the diagnostics of the reciever and read the protection fault. It was DC ,which basically meant that a component in one of the amplifier modules is leaking dc current out to the speakers (bad obviously) so it goes into protection mode and shuts down. I will update this review after I see how Denon handles this situation. Based on another's review, I have serious doubts. UPDATE: I have spoken to Denon and the warranty repair process has started. The tech was courteous and helpful and gave me no headaches with honoring the repair and shipping arrangements. At this point, the only aggravation im experiencing is the fact that I will be without the centerpiece of my entire home audio/video distribution hub for the foreseeable future while someone attempts to repair my AVR. But thats the process. I will update again when the shipping label arrives in my inbox.

Between myself and my family, we use this receiver daily. In fact I’m listening to music now on it while I write this. Paired with some good speakers, this receiver outperforms and exceeds mostly all my expectations so far. Hookup was easy and streaming to this receiver is a breeze from mostly all major sources. As with all Denon receivers, they do run hot and my suggestion is to place it where it’s vented very good from the top and sides. Otherwise, find a device that has fans in it that will pull the air out and push out of the front or back. This will prolong the life of your receiver because heat is never good to electronics. The only concern I had, while I’m sure Denon is working on, is the Amazon music app that is built in and being able to play personal playlists. I have a separate Yamaha receiver in my basement and it supports this feature. On the Denons, you are only able to play suggested playlists from Amazon music in the Denon app and are not able to choose your specific playlists you have created. However, there is an easy workaround for this by going into your Amazon music app and streaming directly to the receiver.

This is an excellent premium A/V Receiver. I have used Yamaha receivers for ages and 2 years ago I got my first Denon receiver AVR-X4500. Denon receivers are very easy to set up using their easy to use their room correction software. I wanted to upgrade to 11.2 Vs 9.2 to add extra 2 Dolby Atmos Height speakers to the existing 4. Amazon has a great price that is $1000 less than the retail price for the 6700 (Thank you Amazon). The receiver arrived in an excellent condition with the packaging intact. It has a heft to it and heavier that the 4500. Premium built and it is "Made in Japan" After running Audessey and the initial set up the sound is simply AMAZING! Excellent sound stage with extremely detailed sounds from all the channels. Due to the processing power, the 6700 gets hot as its predecessor, but I have an AC Infinity cooling fan on the top of the receiver to keep it cool. I highly recommend AC Infinity coolers to any Home Theater enthusiast to protect your expensive receiver. If you are in the market for a new A/V receiver or looking to upgrade for 8K future proof receiver then do not think twice and get this beast. You will not regret it! Thank you Amazon for such an amazing deal.

Meu segundo receiver da Denon. Até o momento só pontos positivos

Gran potencia sin saturaciones, lo unico que no agrada fue que la supuesta compatibilidad de Alexa se resume a que te conectas a través de Heos con tu plataforma Amazon Music y desde ahí controlas la música no el aparato. Sin embargo las capacidades de audio superaron las expectativas de las mejoras hechas a los componentes previos de la serie AVR X6400... Buenas mejoras en audio y desempeño le quitaron salidas se audio monitor y le pusieron pre amplificadas para 2 zonas y otros amplificadores. Listo para TV 8K. Luego de comprarlo en un precio "x" a la semana bajo aun más de precio. Chanclas que feos.

Muito bom na qualidade, várias zonas e controle por bluetooth. Excelente e superando expectativas
