Customer Review

Actually, one should think that you should start with such a high-priced device with the positive points. But if the EIA is just under 1,000 euros and you pay on offer nearly 770, then I find it Denon quite brazen and outrageous to build a haptic Plastikbomber. I expect more from Samsung, LG & Co.

The remote control is an impertinence. Pure cheap (!) Plastic. Even my Logitech Harmony is there to better worlds.

The same game at the front panel. Even the knobs for source and volume are made of plastic. At points the device was a bad buy.

But luckily, the X3100W trumps with strong inner values, otherwise he would have immediately landed back in.

===============

THE ESTABLISHMENT Denon has designed even for laymen quite simple and understandable. Each step is gone through the TV screen.

The calibration with the supplied microphone goes quickly out of hand. At each connection option is checked, what you want to connect with and what type of cable. Unoccupied connections can be deactivated later in the menu, so that they no longer appear in the source selection.

I connected 5.1 speakers and subwoofers Elac the receiver. The sound is impeccable. Only I would like to see more freedom in the direct control of the individual boxes. Here the receiver is preset too.

A 4K device I have not, but full HD is expected to be presented properly.

===============

My TV experience and in Zone 2 - At the Zone 1 my Beamer depends, for perfect cinema. For the news, and a couple of TV series I meet 2 boxes. Because in Zone 2 will only two. The remainder is not driven. For those want the full sound for 2 zones with 7.2 is not recommended the receiver.

==================

The radio I find quite cumbersome set. Without TV, the station can not be saved in advance, it is the front display too little information here.

===============

With connections of X3100W is more than blessed, here are the options more than diverse. I have even our 12 year old HD recorder of Panasonic (DMR - HS2) get connected. Cable Receiver SCART Out -> HD Recorder SCART In -> HD Video Recorder RCA Audio Out and Digital visual.

==============

What I had problems was the optical input from TV coming because you can hear nothing. Setting thing? Yesterday there was a new firmware update. Possibly This brings more.

===============

For my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 I have the DENON APP in Play Store downloaded.

This is still bad at ail. The possibilities for use are more than clear. When tuner you can only select previously saved channels (max. 10). Change stations or prove otherwise is not possible. Here Denon has yet to shovel some coal on the fire before running correctly and rich.

===============

The internet streaming radio stations on the other hand runs quite fast. Only you can not select channels directly on the TV you have to rummage through by acting infinitely nested menus. We hear mostly HR1, HR3 and Radio Bob. Has taken this to find it and inject 3.

CONCLUSION:

The intrinsic values ​​and the connection options are properly.

The feel of the remote control and front panel is a bad joke plastic. But at the price of 1 star deduction.

Easy setup but for a part instant replay button. This is not thought through.

Although the app does not have to, but if you do something, it should not be a beta version.

A second zone incl. HDMI is indeed great, but if someone wants to sound for both 100% with 7.2, one should keep looking.

For those still Denon restrictions imposed or halfhearted Nicklichkeiten I pull from another star.
