Review Summary
2020-01-22T19:00:00
Purchased this to replace a Denon AVR-789. I also own an AVR-X4400H in a separate room. This review is for the AVR-2200W. Very pleased with the picture quality (4:4:4 pass through), the sound quality, the Audyssey sound calibration, the iPhone remote control features, online firmware updates, easy setup, and the UI, performance, and quality consistency between this and the more expensive units. Huge improvement over the AVR-789 this unit replaced (and the AVR-789 was a major improvement over the competitor-brand unit it replaced). The Audyssey sound calibration and Dynamic EQ bring a more balanced, complete sound from my speakers (and room) that is significant and noticeable, even my spouse mentioned the improvement. Thank you for making products that renew my excitement for home AV; spent the afternoon watching key moments from movies and listening to favorite music.

I found it easy to set up this av system and it is very easy to use .I am still waiting for the DTS-X upgrade even though i bought it over 9 months i cant understand why the delay as the have upgrades for other models released a few months now.i would have also liked to have more speaker binding posts rather than so many hdmi connections on this av receiver.
