I bought an Onkyo receiver about 6 years ago from Richer Sounds in Stockport for my surround sound to watch Blu Rays and play Xbox games - unfortunately it stopped working and I think the guarantee had run out. I then moved and after looking at the cost/quality ratio online, I called Stockport to see if they had one of two left and they told me that indeed they had, but I would need to go to Prestwich Richer Sounds to pick up. I then spent a good hour there discussing my options as I also needed a CD player and advice about an adaptor for my Denon turntable.The customer service was really awesome and Ben who I had spoken to on the phone to reserve the AVRX550 looked after me really well.I am really chuffed to bits with the quality and having bought a 4k TV (from ... MoreI bought an Onkyo receiver about 6 years ago from Richer Sounds in Stockport for my surround sound to watch Blu Rays and play Xbox games - unfortunately it stopped working and I think the guarantee had run out.

GENIUS! ;)I've also paid for a 7 year warranty so if I have any problems I'm covered.Thanks again Richer Sounds! :)

I replaced my last AV receiver as it didn't have DHCP 2.2 so wouldn't pass 4k copyrighted content, this handles that fine. However, it was only a week or so after setup that I found that I couldn't select my record player or CD player which were plugged into the "Audio Inputs". These are shared inputs for the HDMI inputs with the same name ("CBL/SAT" and "Media Player"), why would I connect a device via HDMI and separately run audio jacks for the sound? I wouldn't. I never imagined that this step to the future would mean that a CD player is no longer a consideration. I saw there were audio jack inputs so thought that was that, I would connect my audio devices there. I tried using audio "Auto" select but it never switches to analogue even when the CD player is ... MoreI replaced my last AV receiver as it didn't have DHCP 2.2 so wouldn't pass 4k copyrighted content, this handles that fine.

It's a mess. Solve one problem (DHCP) and cause another. The language in the menus is messy and some of the on screen information telling me what mode it's in is not obvious, I don't know what it's telling me at times.

I bought this receiver about a week ago because my 20 year old NAD receiver had no way of connecting to my new Samsung Q7F 4K QLED TV. I tried a DAC but not luck. I don't use a surround system, just two Richter Merlin floor standing speakers. Installing the Denon was simple as all the connections are marked very clearly on the back. The setup process was a breeze as the on-screen Denon Setup Assistant guided me clearly through the process. The supplied calibration microphone made sure the sound suited my lounge well. I used the HDMI-CEC function to allow the TV remote to control the receiver so that it turns on and off with the TV and other functions. The sound is wonderful. The receiver makes everything sound clearer and better. It's so easy to use and has ... MoreI bought this receiver about a week ago because my 20 year old NAD receiver had no way of connecting to my new Samsung Q7F 4K QLED TV. I tried a DAC but not luck.

I have waited fora few weeks to post this review, so that I reflect fully considered opinions, not initial thoughts. I have to say that it’s a great AV amp and that I’d heartily recommend it. It replaced a 20+ year old Sony AV Receiver, which had served me well until it blew up, and the manager in the Glasgow Branch of Richer Sounds did warn me that I may have to reign in my expectations if I was comparing my new amp to the old one. I’m happy to say he was incorrect and my 2.1 set up with a Yamaha Sub woofer is excellent quality, so much so that i don’t think my (Philips) dull range speakers are good enough and I’m thinking about a pair of floor standers. Great amp, goes way loud enough and has Bluetooth streaming. I’ve no need for Atmos...yet, so it’s omission ... MoreI have waited fora few weeks to post this review, so that I reflect fully considered opinions, not initial thoughts.

I’ve no need for Atmos...yet, so it’s omission doesn’t bother me and the only other thing I would have liked, but don’t have is a voltage trigger for the sub woofer(which I have to power on/off manually). Highly recommended...especially with the 6 year warranty.
The Positive:After years of hit-and-miss purchases of soundbars I finally decided to go for hifi separates. For my relatively small living room with no space for rear speakers or the possibility of Atmos speakers in the future I was happy to select this Denon to improve sound from my 50-inch HDR TV. I matched it with Q Acoustics 3020i's and the Q Acoustics centre speaker. The sound, especially speech from centre, is outstanding. When viewing with my Amazon Fire stick the sound quality is terrific with movies etc. When the source is high end sound this Denon really picks up every detail with clarity. Bring on binge nights-in!The Slightly Negative:I think if one has kids - i.e., connecting multiple sources like Playstation, BluRay and more - then the number or ... MoreThe Positive:After years of hit-and-miss purchases of soundbars I finally decided to go for hifi separates.

But then you have to jump £200 in price.Also, for larger living rooms, if you want/think to add Atmos speakers in future this AVR will not be right for you.
This is a good amp but not as powerful as the Pioneer Amp we are replacing. We wanted a Bluetooth enabled amp and this seemed a good option. The auto turn off function was a bit annoying until we worked out how to stop it, must have enabled it during set up. Have all our devices, TVs etc running through the amp and functionality is good, a bit of a lag time when switching it on before you hear sound. The remote seems a bit tinny and cheap compared to the Pioneer but works perfectly.
Bought this to upgrade to hdmi connections and to be able to decode more advanced digital surround sound formats and really pleased with the purchase.Easy to set up (the supplied speaker level set--up mic makes setting the speaker levels simple) and connect to my existing equipment and worked (with a few tweaks) first time.Nice clear picture (particularly sky q uhd) and nice well balanced full sound with plenty of different sound options.The built in bluetooth receiver is the icing on the cake to enable music streaming from my mobile.Only downside was I couldn't work out how to convert an analogue video input from my old Wii into an digital hdmi output but got round this by purchasing a £5 hdmi converter online. Couldn't get an answer from Denon as to ... MoreBought this to upgrade to hdmi connections and to be able to decode more advanced digital surround sound formats and really pleased with the purchase.Easy to set up (the supplied speaker level set--up mic makes setting the speaker levels simple) and connect to my existing equipment and worked (with a few tweaks) first time.Nice clear picture (particularly sky q uhd) and nice well balanced full sound with plenty of different sound options.The built in bluetooth receiver is the icing on the cake to enable music streaming from my mobile.Only downside was I couldn't work out how to convert an analogue video input from my old Wii into an digital hdmi output but got round this by purchasing a £5 hdmi converter online. Couldn't get an answer from Denon as to whether this tech was actually included in the receiver and I had missed it in the settings somewhere but if it wasn't then I would havethought it should have been.But a minor inconvenience and easily resolved.So overall really pleased with it and would recommend to others.
Firstly, you need to hook this up to a TV when you first switch it on to select the language you want to use, or you can't use it, which is incredibly annoying if you're purely using this in a purely sound-based system. It has a screen, why not use that?! It's literally only yes/no options that you need to select!Advertises "Seamless Bluetooth connectivity". Doesn't work with bluetooth regardless of what you do. Spent 2 hours fiddling with their app, reading the manual, restarting everything, trying every music app and the bluetooth functions in the phone and on the receiver itself and couldn't get it to work. The device is either constantly trying to pair or saying it's disconnected even when it's connected. Spotify isn't even an option among the app list in the ... MoreFirstly, you need to hook this up to a TV when you first switch it on to select the language you want to use, or you can't use it, which is incredibly annoying if you're purely using this in a purely sound-based system.

The device is either constantly trying to pair or saying it's disconnected even when it's connected. Spotify isn't even an option among the app list in the Denon 500 Remote app.....seriously? Your phone will connect with the receiver's bluetooth and that's about it. Regardless of where you play music, Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud etc. it will play on the music app (no sound of course) and say it's connected to Denon but nothing will actually play out of the Denon. Yes, the bluetooth volume is on max in the Android sound settings and on the receiver itself. The app is absolutely useless and completely clunky to navigate and hasn't got a clue whether its actually connected or not, 90% of the time what it says in the app is the exact opposite of what it says, so I suppose it's consistently wrong at least. The app constantly disconnects itself despite bluetooth connection between your phone and the Denon still remaining connected in Android bluetooth settings. Android warns you that it's not even built to be compatible with the latest Android OS when you first open the app so Denon clearly doesn't support nor update this device in the very slightest.Only way to get wireless playback on this thing was to buy an additional bluetooth receiver and plug it into the aux input. Absolutely absurd for such an expensive unit when seamless wireless playback is something even cheap bluetooth speakers can manage.If you expect any sort of modern functionality and connectivity, stay well away from this thing, it's effectively an overpriced FM/AM radio that can power some big speakers. If you envision yourself having a smart home with app integration and using this thing, instead envision literally any receiver but this piece of junk because there is no ongoing app support for this device from Denon and it has worse connectivity than bluetooth devices from Aliexpress.
I recently purchased a Denon AVRX550BT and a pair of Wharfedale Diamond 230 speakers to link up to my TV and turntable. I have to say Richer Sounds Chester were excellent from start to finish and beyond. I had several lengthy calls with the guys there during which they listened to my needs and advised me a selection of products within my price range but there was never any hard sell. Once I had decided on what I wanted they helped out with organised speedy delivery. After delivery they were on hand to give advice over the phone during the set up. A week or so after setting up I had a few more questions and the guys in Chester spent another 30 min call talking me through my questions and fine tuning the system.

I bought this AV receiver to replace my trust old Onkyo from a decade or so ago whilst upgrading to a newer 4K TV.Initial setup was exceptionally easy with the setup mic and inbuilt automatic configuration doing all the hard work.End result was a clean and crisp setup but the sound does seem to lack a little 'richness' which my old Onkyo delivered without problem. By no means bad, in fact the audio quality seems excellent, but I think a bit more digging through the advanced option is needed to finish off the setup.Volume control seems a little erratic when trying to make larger changes changes to volume (e.g. from loud to very quiet, or vice versa); rather than persisting with a lot of small changes, it makes much larger jumps in volume and I've not managed to ... MoreI bought this AV receiver to replace my trust old Onkyo from a decade or so ago whilst upgrading to a newer 4K TV.Initial setup was exceptionally easy with the setup mic and inbuilt automatic configuration doing all the hard work.End result was a clean and crisp setup but the sound does seem to lack a little 'richness' which my old Onkyo delivered without problem.
