Product ReviewsDenon AVR AVR-X3200W 7.1 Channel 105 Watt Receiver

Good with complictions

I purchased this unit as an open box item and as it turned out it seemed as if it was never opened...so the value was excellent. Set up was typical but a bit simpler on this Denon product. Straight forward instructions were very helpful but at this point I have to contact Denon tech again (3rd time) because I can't get my sub woofer running. This is my first new Denon product and I have to admit I'm now a Denon customer. Aside from the high quality, reputation, great sound and features of this product I was actually able to contact their tech people "easily." A simple phone call, brought me quickly to a tech person who was an expert at solving my simple problems. Yes, in fact he spoke ENGLISH! I had purchased an Onyko prior to this and needed to call their tech people, I tried for 3 days and never once got to anyone or anything except the same robo script that never went anywhere......I was on for several hours waiting. Never again!
Although I have certain issues yet to be resolved; I'm confident that they'll be resolved.
The unit has great features that work well and the pyramid for the speaker set up is a simple and small feature that no other manufacturer offers but offers a better way to set the sound up in your listening room.

The one fault is that it doesn't have a back lit remote which would just about make this a perfect receiver. I'm lovin' Denon.Read full review...

Not a Good Denon Receiver

I have had nothing but problems with this receiver, loses audio, tv screen goes black ( approx. 3 sec ) atleast 2 times every hour. I have tried everything possible, 2 different TV's, 2 sets of HDMI cables ( 2.0 high speed), 2 new cable boxes and nothing seems to solve the problem. I can re-connect my old Denon 988 and everything works great ( no problems at all). I have contacted Denon for help ( 5 times), but this unit cannot be fixed over the phone. By the way, I have owned 5 Denon receivers over the years and have never , ever , had a problem with a single one of them. I suppose, this is just a Lemon.Read full review...

New Denon X-3200W

My old 7.1 Denon (3801) was 14 years old, so this new X-3200W 7.2 Denon certainly has some improvements! However one of the things I didn't like was the deletion of a power receptacle in the back for hooking up another 110v item. In my case I have the receiver in a somewhat closed area so I was concerned about heat, so I had a "muffin fan" hooked up to come on at the same time as the receiver. I now have a manual switch to turn on each time I use the receiver. What a pain.

But I certainly enjoy this receiver, I've not watch a "Dolby Atmos Video" yet to hear the new audio. However the audio on a 7.1 video is very convincing. I like the dedicated "object-oriented processing", and looking forward to the new upgrades promised for this fall. The old Denon was an "integrated" 7.1 and a very very complicated manual, big difference.

Every time I've wanted to speak to a Denon Rep. they've been very helpful.

I still have no idea what all this receiver is capable of, but I'm learning.

I would certainly recommend this receiver if you have all the proper speakers to enjoy it's capabilities.Read full review...

Satisfied

For the last 25 years, I’ve owned Sony receivers. After purchasing this Denon receiver I will never go back to Sony. You get so much more with Denon for the buck. Capabilities are endless. It has better amplification and sound. Read full review...

It's great

Has tons of features and you can get it cheap because it's a few years old. It's easy to set up and the on-screen display is great

Better know how to read and understand. My buddies and I spent hours trying to understand how to make things play. Had to call Denon for some answers.
