Denon has to pay to the device, including speakers leave expensive (about 1,800 euros). Manufacturer Name and price can therefore look forward to a well-made device with decent sound. Unfortunately, the disappointment is great. The sound is rather so-so, sounds like a better hardware store crate. The operation is cumbersome and evident in everyday thought as little. But even worse are the defects that have adapted over time. First droned from the back lid of the remote control. In order for this not permanently wobbles back and forth remained only the unsightly solution secured with adhesive tape. Then the receiver did not turn with the remote control; sometimes we went - sometimes not. Why this was so I could never find out. Next followed the built-in DVD drive. At first it was only occasionally hang, but soon it refused then complete his service. Replacement and repair come too expensive for the aged equipment. So I buy a separate player and the Denon device has only audio function. But even this is then not long good. During playback, the volume suddenly shows a drop in performance and is quieter and quieter. The experiment with the remote control fails to make louder again. Likewise, the operation of the volume control on the device itself has no effect. Only the disconnection from the network brings the Denon back into a functioning state; - But unfortunately only until the next failure. Now have finally had enough and buy myself another plant. A Denon it will probably no longer be. As an additional annoyance shows that Denon controls the speakers and subwoofer from the receiver with a special cable. Neither speaker nor have any subwoofer a standard connection. There is no RCA connector, no sub-In, no ordinary speaker connections. So now I can not just throw the receiver into the garbage, but also the subwoofer behind.
