  1. OscarC

    Overall good product!! All the specifications as noted on the best buy website are accurate and works as expected. One of the only downsides, if you’re just upgrading your really old full Home Theater system, you will need to buy an active Subwoofer to meet the specs of the speakers; not a downside for those with a better receiver than an the average Home Theater. Good product and performance overall!!

  2. Watch

    Purchased this as an upgrade to prior Denon i owned. This is awesome and my wife noticed that its alot louder and better sound quality. I mainly purchased it for the passthrough fory PlayStation 5 and xbox serious X. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants a good quality receiver without the large price tag

  3. TheOttersCouch

    Denon has been a good product in the past with no issues. Upgraded from another Denon that has lasted me 10 years.

  4. VeronicaL

    Very good quality sound. Looking to by another one now

  5. ZachDizzle

    So far I am loving this receiver, I didn’t pay full price which made it even easier to buy. I haven’t found something that I dislike so far, the only thing I think could be improved is the on screen menu to add more details about each setting for those who are not pros.

  6. Williamsburggeek

    Nice unit. Would be 5 stars but its not easy to navigate yhe setup menu. But none of them are!

  7. FacilityGuy

    This unit exceeded my needs and was a wonderful addition to my house.

  8. JeffL

    Bought this to replace an older Denon that had started to die over the last few months and repair shop said it wasn’t worth fixing The new unit does everything my old one did plus a few extras for a decent price. Easy setup and better remote than the old ones and still has good power and clarity. Would definitely recommend

  9. Jake

    Top line home theater system. We highly recommended the Denon line of products.

  10. AllenK

    My old Denon was about 10 years old, started to show some signs of aging so I did did some research and picked this one. Glad I did.

  11. JeffG

    This amp receiver delivered the power needed to run my existing speaker system with very good quality sound. But it turned out I did not need it as my old unit was equal to this unit. Returned.

  12. NhuN

    The receiver came in good condition. Confusing at first, everything is working well after initial setup.

  13. Jake

    The Denon S970H is an outstanding receiver that is user friendly and produces an excellent, quality sound.

  14. DC4L

    This unit has awesome sound, and the Dolby Atmos works and sounds amazing. My only problem comes with listening to the dialog on movies and shows. The sound quality in that comes from the center channel is flat and a bit muffled at times. I will play with the sound and see if I cant add some some clarity and brightness to it. Otherwise, i am pleased with my purchase.

  15. Review

    Great receiver. My old one burned up and I need a new system and this is perfect. Really easy to set up and get to using

  16. RandyM

    Will Not communicate with LG TV technicians tried to make repairs on numerous occasions. Still the same result call the helpline numerous occasions. It was actually hung up on seven times

  17. KevinO

    Easy setup, good price
    Fit what needed (for a 5.1 system)

  18. KristopherrR

    Quality product, provides perfect power to the speakers and input of all forms of old school electronics, CD changer, tape deck, and record player as well as so many HDMI ports.

  19. Harry

    I connected 7 surround speakers to it. It produces great quality of sound.

  20. Myantenna

    Very good receiver and easy to set up. It works great with all input types.

  21. SamM

    Sounds Amazing and can not leave my new theater room!¡!

  22. VastOne

    I had a Denon that I thought was superior in every way and when it went down I decided on this AVR-S970H based on reviews here. I cannot tell you how impressed I am with this purchase and the experience getting it from Best Buy, beginning to end it exceeded everything and now I am content with a receiver for years to come.

  23. betamax2875

    I’m very pleased with this receiver. My older Pioneer died so I was forced to upgrade. It’s great to be able to finally connect my Apple TV 4K through the receiver rather than having to go through the TV / ARC. I also have a Pioneer Elite LX305 in my basement and I would have considered saving some money and going with this in that room as well if this model had been available.

  24. PattiD

    Very pleased with the Denon receiver. Do recommend it . 5 stars !!!

  25. crowleywild

    Wound up returning it for the x3800h. It works well but I just needed more power ultimately for my setup.

  26. Dennis

    Already had a denon receiver, was looking to get a cleaner sound and some extra power, I have used Denon for 10 years and,as the others, I am very pleased, gives me everything I need without breaking the bank

  27. NedaS

    This receiver earns five stars for its impressive performance, user-friendly design, and diverse connectivity options. While it excels in delivering quality audio, a slight improvement in bass response could enhance the overall experience. Nonetheless, it remains a solid choice for audio enthusiasts.

  28. BillR

    Very good quality, it really improved my home theater experience!

  29. BBWICF

    Going to have to bring the 20 year old Sony back out. Will never purchase Denon again.

  30. DouglasW

    I really like my new Denon receiver. It has lots of power and was very easy to set using Denon’s instructions.

  31. DonaldC

    Love my new receiver, but I’m still trying to figure out how everything works on it ,but besides that it makes the speakers sound great.

  32. tony8164

    very nice for mid range speakers so go to best buy and get one your be happy

  33. Danny

    Very content with this purchase! This will give you the Best Buy for your buck

  34. RyanC

    Amazingly easy receiver to setup. Denon is the best! Great price i got it at as well.

  35. forlift2001

    I am enjoying the sound and blue tooth works great

  36. Micegreat

    Very happy with this product. We are now up-to-date on a entertainment paring with a new Sony Bravia TV. I thank the saleman in the Independence, MO store explaining his expert opion in our needs.

  37. DebA

    It is nice. Thought I would get a more robust sound.

  38. CB01

    Purchased this receiver in November, have a Xbox series X , Xbox one and dish network connected. It has been excellent so far. I am very pleased with the purchase.

  39. Unknown

    Great Receiver for a cassette, cd, turn table and TV use.

  40. EZ4U2NV

    I did like the sound output of this amp. But it states it pass 4k@120 HZ. It does not due to a bad chipset. I think models after certain serial numbers have the updated chipset. But I bought brand new and after many hours of frustration I found this out after digging the internet. Denon fix is to send a separate box that needs power but only send 1 HDMI. Not acceptable. Only buy this if you plan to use this for audio only or sending 4k video at 60hz.

  41. Arlocamera

    easy to operate best purchase highly recommend sounds awesome

  42. ThirdValve

    Does a very nice job and is easy to connect. Paying slightly more to get the 90 watts/channel is worth it. Got this as a replacement for a failed 10 year old Marantz. Nice to be able to walk in the door and play whatever was playing from your phone in your car- instantly on the Denon. Sweet!

  43. CoryN

    Outstanding, wonderful item and service.Great doing business with Best buy.

  44. CarlosA

    I decided to get the denim after I seen the awesome deal they had.

  45. 2happy

    So many options for the value. I can play all my Bluetooth apps on my outdoor speakers.

  46. MychealJ

    Figured i would give a review now since owning this device for about 5 months now, its definitely a powerful receiver for the price easy setup makes my theater room sound alot better compared to my older yamaha receiver ill definitely recommend

  47. AnnetteW

    Wonderful customer service. Great service and fast shipping.

  48. Mort2232

    Exceptionally good performance both with surround and Atmos sound. A wealth of features for the money including 3 fully functional, 40Gbps enabled HDMI 2.1 ports.

  49. BradC

    Interface d with our installed Sonos speaker. Easy to get everything attached

  50. Frobozz

    This receiver represents the upper end of Denon’s ‘consumer’ level units. Denon manufactures many units costing FAR more.

    I use it in a 5.1 setup consisting of BIC America speakers including a 12” powered subwoofer.

    Setting up modern AV receivers can be a bit complex. The Audessey process is pretty good, but, for me, resulted in a bit of a flat sound. Tweaking the bass and equalizer settings was required. I spent a lot of time reading expert recommendations.

    So far, I have found it to be an acceptable unit for the cost, even if I’m not wildly enthusiastic about it.
