Review Summary

After many years I wanted upgrade my system. Have had trouble ever since I set it up. I have to unplug the unit to get it to connect to online music every time I use it. Do not have any other WiFi issues with my equipment. Called Denon talked to a rep, said he was going to elevate my issue and someone would call me back within 48 hours. Never happened.

The manual is not helpful if you are trying to set up 7.2 or atoms surround sound. It tells you that it can do all this sound setting like Dolby surround, Dolby digital, Dolbyhd, and what not but figure out how to get. I get better sound when my source is roku watching Netflix then watching a blu-ray that has 7.1. It doesn't make since. I wish I had gone with a Yamaha.

This receives multiple inputs (audio and visual, via HDMI, optical, digital coax, bluetooth, airplay, ethernet, and analogue) and transmits all via single HDMI cable to main TV and 7.2 speakers. Sound has been tuned using Audessy app( additional cost). Occasionally needs a full reset to allow app to control from smartphone.

Have owned this product for just over 12 months, easy to set up and sound quality is amazing , hooked up to a cinema experience and 60 inch plasma. Kids love it. Running Sonos through this product is a breeze and I like the limitations you can add to the noise level , great for the neighbours!!!

I bought the Denon for great sounds and to update my system using WiFi. But If you want to control the Denon, using an iPad or phone, don't waste your money the apps are incredibly poor, full if bugs! it will fail, it will suddenly stop working, it won't reconnect. After a year, I am extremely disappointed and frustrated, and wish I had spent my money else where!

Match it up with some good components and you have a very capable 2 channel stereo amp. I'm using mine with a Marantz UK edition CD player. Tannoy XT8 speakers on the front and matching center and surrounds. I'm very impressed how good it is with music.

I bought this a month ago to upgrade my existing system. The sound is excellent in full 7.1 and the picture is a big improvement on the Onkyo itvrepaced

Heard great things about this amp. But using it for 2 weeks had a buzzing sound coming from the unit that was ruining any enjoyment. The menu system is in need of a logical overhaul it's not great but cumbersome. Sound quality in the treble could have been sharper it's too muted and bass too undefined.

Brilliant amp with excellent features. The only let down is the dreadful app. I am surprised that Denon let this app out as I would have expected something much slicker and that worked.

At the moment, a great AV Amp let down by really erratic lip sync issues.

I have had this amp for about a month now and so far I am impressed with It,the fact that it does hdr and 4k pass through makes my ps4 pro sing!The only thing I would like on this amp is a speaker display on it's screen to tell you what speakers are active,apart from that this is a great amp for the price,highly recommended.

I have bought this Denon AVR x3300w Just over a month ago The sound quality once setup is amazing Function via remote is good but a bit long in setup mode Setup via the App is nice to see what the Amp can do But in general use via the App is slow to respond Love the zone 2 feature with separate video and sound

I'm so glad I bought Denon. The sound quality is a huge improvement on my 3 year old Onkyo. The airplay works like a charm as does the DLNA streaming content from my NAS. The menu gives you a lot of control of the tone and speaker volume to customise the sound to your liking which was needed as the automatic speaker calibration took a good 20 minutes and wasn't to my taste. The big surprise was the improvement in picture quality which was instantly noticeable.

I bought this two months ago and am happy that it does most of what it claims. Getting pictures on a TV and on a projector is more complicated than the advertising implies and the HDMI output needs to be matched to the device. I could get no pictures on my projector and had to buy an adaptor to convert HDMI 2 to HDMI 1.4. Audyssey is limited but good for setting levels. After that best results come from ignoring equalisation settings and selecting Pure Direct. Audio quality on music could be better but the 3300 handles DTS and Dolby surround very well.

I bought this amp after a review in What HiFi to replace my Yamaha RVX 770. There was nothing wrong with the Yamaha it just got donated to a greater cause. But I could not believe the difference And whilst there are less digital sound effects/scenes the ones it does offer are superb.

Does exactly what I expected it to do and even more. Very customisable but, at the same time, easy to set up and use. Sound and video quality are superb! Mobile app is a fantastic addition.

I bought this receiver as an upgrage over my Sony receiver, as was happy with my the Sony receiver and the only reson I did not keep the Sony was because it did not have 4K HDR HDMI connections, having always been a Sony person I was very reluctant to try another amp from a different company, so after many days of research I decided to get the Denon. I found I took me a few try's to get used to the setup and settings of the Denon receiver, but now that I've set it up to they way I like this blows the Sony receiver away, I hearing sounds that I've never heard before with such crisp and clean sound clarity, I can hear the smallest of sounds right up to the loud explosions in the movies I watch, I don't think I will ever look back at getting a Sony Receiver again. I'm am now a loyal Denon fan for life.

I purchased this receiver a few months ago and I'm delighted with it! The sound quality is most impressive - everything sounds amazing, I listen to a lot of music, as well as TV and movies. It's features are great, such as WiFi, and bluetooth, as well as the ability to control the receiver with a phone app (that works most of the time). The guided setup was particularly good and made it all very easy. Overall highly recommended.

I upgraded from another very good receiver, the AVR2312, and I'm not disappointed! I have a 9.2 home cinema setup and the 3300W fits the requirements perfectly! In particular, I'm happy that the internet connectivity is quite a bit better and there is never any lag in searching for new radio stations and no breakup of the line.

I bought this just before xmas 2016 as a replacement for a pioneer lx51 the main reason for changing was a new sony 4k tv . I bought this after reading the review in what Hifi Sound and vision it was around £300.00 cheaper than the pioneer replacement for my LX51 , It Steers the sound in full 7.2 brilliantly making movies sound vibrant and real through my Linn Speaker set up it is great as it has pre outs as i use my Linn Kaber stereo speakers anf hifi for my front end left and right considering most of the hifi kit i have is linn and hi end this amp belies its price sounding as good as an amp £400+ more . Also has DTS decoding and internet radio built in which is great the built in wifi could be a little more stable but is adiquote ! All in all very pleased with the amp so far !

This replaced my AVR-1911. Being newer it has much better features and sound quality but retained it's familiar feel. It's very easy to change sound settings for films, music etc. and adjust volume on centre speaker for speech. Overall very pleased with it.

The sound of this product is really superb. Setting up is a synch. Having owned a Denon previously Iknew this was going to be a good experience for me as my old av is still going string after about 10 years. My only grapes is that I have a 7.1 system and wanted to add 2 Atmos speakers TI my setup. Unfortunately not enough connections to do this. Guess I'll have to upgrade to their top of the range to get this. All in all a great product

AirPlay lets you play your favorite tracks wirelessly from your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad and via network streaming you can listen to music files stored on your home PC or Mac or NAS devices. The all-new Denon 2016 AVR Remote App lets you control the AVR-X3300W with your smartphone or tablet: it's available for both Apple iOS and Android devices.
Denon 2016 AVR Remote
With the free "Denon 2016 AVR Remote" for iOS and Android, available from the Apple appstore, Google Play or the Amazon appstore, you can control the receiver's operation, as well as accessing its set-up menu, from a smartphone or tablet. The app also gives you quick access to the receiver's status display, option menus, Denon Blu-ray player control and an online owner's manual for your convenience. Meanwhile the new queue management feature means you can browse and add new tracks to the playlist on the fly.
Powerful 7 Channel Discrete Amplifier with Eco Mode
Featuring high current discrete power output devices on all channels, the AVR-X3300W is rated at 105 watts per channel (8 ohms, 20 Hz20 kHz, 0.08% THD). And for compatibility with the widest range of loudspeaker models, the AVR-X3300W also has low impedance drive capability, to provide operational stability with speakers down to 4 ohms. Denon's intelligent ECO mode adjusts power consumption according to signal level and there's an on-screen Eco Mode display that lets you see in real time how much energy ECO mode is saving.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs
A single subwoofer can give an uneven bass response at the main listening position, with audible peaks and dips. The AVR-X3300W provides for two subwoofers: positioned in different locations, they will even out the low frequencies, for more accurate bass anywhere in the listening area. It also provides Audyssey Sub EQ HT to give individual tailoring of each subwoofer via digital signal processing.
Smart TV Connectivity
Using the HDMI CEC (consumer electronics control) functionality provided on some Smart TVs, it's possible to control Denon receivers with the TV's remote handset. Set the receiver's "HDMI control" to ON, choose the "Smart Menu" receiver control functions on the TV and the Smart Menu home screen allows direct access to a range of receiver functions including source and surround mode, the main setup menu and the Quick Select 'one-touch' presets.
Advanced Audyssey DSP Technologies
The AVR-X3300W features Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatic room acoustic correction. Using the supplied measurement microphone, MultEQ XT32 analyzes each speaker's output (including the subwoofers) at up to 8 measurement locations and generates precision digital filters that optimize each channel for the correct frequency and time domain response.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume smoothes out annoying jumps in volume (such as TV commercials), letting you listen at lower levels and still enjoy clear dialog, music and sound effects. Audyssey Dynamic EQ provides precision tonal tailoring for full range clarity at any listening level. Audyssey Sub EQ HT provides individual DSP tailoring of each subwoofer in a dual subwoofer setup, for deeper bass and improved definition compared to a single subwoofer configuration.
Multi-Source/Multi-room
With the AVR-X3300W it's possible to enjoy 5.1-channel surround in one room, while another 'zone' plays another source - such as CD or streaming audio. You can simply connect a pair of stereo speakers to the multi-room amplified outputs. Or, connect a separate stereo amp and speakers to the Zone 2 pre-outs, allowing full 7 channel surround sound in the main room with stereo in the second. Or connect the 2nd zone via HDMI, using the AVR-X3300W's dual HDMI outputs.
Convenient USB Port
The convenient front panel USB port provides a digital connection from music from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad, while also charging the device. You can also connect a USB drive and listen to files from MP3 all the way up to high resolution DSD (2.8/5.6 MHz) and FLAC lossless (up to 24-bit/192-kHz).
Color Coded 4-Way Speaker Terminals
The high quality speaker terminals feature multi-way connection capability to handle a number of speaker cable terminations including banana plugs. They're also color coded for correct hook-up, with matching color-coded labels for your speaker cables supplied .
Easy To Use Quick Select Functions
Four Quick Select function buttons on the front panel and the remote control let you choose your favorite sources: each one remembers your preferred set-up and sound mode for that source and you can even use them to store favorite Internet radio stations.
Easy to Setup, Easy to Use
The AVR-X3300W's clear, easy to understand graphical on-screen display guides you through the set-up process to ensure the correct configuration. The exclusive Setup Assistant and the included Quick Start guide together provide easy setup instructions, leading the user step by step to optimize critical settings for the best possible sound and video quality with the rest of your system.
