This is a fantastic receiver for the money. I was looking for a receiver to cover me for the time being with updated technology and the ability to pass-through 4K. It can upscale to 8K!Having Bluetooth, Heos and the ability to connect to our smart devices is just a bonus. This replaced a 12 year old Yamaha, and you can hear the difference from all inputs, and I'm so glad it did. Setup was a breeze. For the money, this AV receiver is highly recommended!

I had another Denon system receiver that had to be replaced because the older model was destroyed by lightning. This is the next higher version. Denon makes a variety of high-end receivers depending on your budget. I read a number of reviews before buying and decided against another model because there were reports of the system overheating and reducing output to extremely low levels. The setup is fairly simple and this model has great reviews. I expect to get the same, great quality that I did from my last Denon receiver. With this receiver, you get fairly high-quality sound that won't break the bank.

The price was unbelievable (in a good way) and I have nothing negative to say about the product at all. The number of HDMI inputs/outputs and speaker config fits PERFECTLY in my home theater setup. Don't worry about the wattage, its PLENTY for my setup. Its get LOUD. The app for Denon is great and works very smoothly. I would highly recommend this receiver at the regular price, let alone the sales price I got it at.

Heck of an upgrade over my 10 year old Onkyo home theater in a box AVR. It has 3 4k 120hz inputs. The AVR 960 that I was considering only has 1. I have an XBOX, PS5 and a 3080Ti connected to the AVR970. No problem passing the XboxSX/PS5/PC 4k 120hz, VRR (PC GSYNC) output to my LG C1. Audio quality with the 970 driving my old Onkyo speakers is much better than I had expected. Very excited for my new Polk speakers to arrive! As a gamer and movie lover, I highly recommend the 970.
This is a receiver that I am purchasing after about 13 years sticking with pioneer Elites. I decided to check out the Denon and was surprised by the sound quality. The music and movies seem to have an immersive atmosphere. I love the fact that it is future proof for 8k content. I am currently at 4k and don’t think I will be going to an 8k any time soon. Setting up the system took some time but if you follow the instructions it is very easy step by step connection process. This is supposed to be the top line of their mid-range of receivers. I am happy with the sound quality and video. The first thing my wife told me after we hooked it up was that even the picture on the tv looked better.
It has been a while since I purchased a receiver, but I needed one that included a 4K passthrough. This receiver really impressed me with the on-screen setup features, the integrated smartphone app, the sound quality, and the ability to seamlessly work with my television and my Apple TV. Admittedly, this receiver has more features than I will actually ever use. If you have a big format 4K (or even 8K) television and want great audio to match, this is definitely a worthwhile purchase.
The receiver has worked flawlessly. The sound is crisp the video shockingly clear. Moreover, pr equally important, is the company that stands behind their products. Responsive with questions. Helpful. Supportive. I will never buy from another AVR maker again. Been through 2 competitors. Nightmarish experiences. Never again.
I was looking to replace an older Yamaha AVENTAGE that I bought used for $300 five years ago. I had 4k 50-60p but no Atmos. This Denon had all the specs I was looking for and the same power as my Yamaha. I thought it would be a fine upgrade. However, I was greatly disappointed. The cheapness of the remote was the first bad sign. I wish these companies understood how the remote is our connection to the equipment. Anyways, after getting it all hooked up I was severely underwhelmed by the sound quality. I fiddled around with it and got it sounding pretty good but it just didn't have that richness of my Yamaha. I was able to get a show sounding pretty good but when it came to music it just couldn't compare with the 10 year old Yamaha. I wish I could explain it better ... MoreI was looking to replace an older Yamaha AVENTAGE that I bought used for $300 five years ago. I had 4k 50-60p but no Atmos.

I was able to get a show sounding pretty good but when it came to music it just couldn't compare with the 10 year old Yamaha. I wish I could explain it better but it just wasn't near as rich and full and immersive. The Yamaha truly feels like you are inside the sound and with the Denon it felt like you are standing at the door looking in at it. For most people it will be a great receiver but for someone transitioning from a high-end receiver it may be a let down. Also, I'm not a sound engineer so I didn't mess with the equalizer too much, but with the Yamaha I have never even touched the equalizer. So if this is the nicest receiver you've ever owned you will probably be satisfied with it but if you have a receiver you love but need to update it for inputs and connectivity you my find yourself underwhelmed.Also, I do think it's an excellent value. I think my Yamaha was the 3rd most expensive receiver when it came out and looking at their current offerings would put it around the $2500 price range. So I might be comparing apples to oranges.
Great receiver. Had accidental damage to my previous receiver that I bought over the summer. Best Buy Total Tech is well worth the extra money on larger purchases. I they were able to replace the receiver with a new unit. Since it had been 6 months and the model I had was no long available, they price matched the new more upgraded model. Once all hooked up and calibrated it is working great. Total Tech is definitely good for repairs or replacement as well as other great benefits on larger ticket items.
I scoured the internet for days to find my next AV receiver. Considering the features for the price, no other receiver matched the AVR-970H for my budget.As I was upgrading from a 20 year old Yamaha, produced before HDMI was a thing, I really didn't understand how everything was going to work. And the first day with the Denon was rough.Hard learned lesson: Check for a firmware update before you do anything else!After taking the time to set everything up, including figuring out the Inputs grid, I am extremely pleased with this machine. I worried that the 90W output was too low, I had 110W previously, but it sounds like it drives the speakers harder, which was a nice surprise.I appreciate the flexibility in assigning the second zone. I'm enjoying a 7.1 ... MoreI scoured the internet for days to find my next AV receiver.

I'm enjoying a 7.1 configuration now, but I'll swap to a 5.1 and put zone 2 speakers outside for the summer time. In which case, the HEOS functionality and app have been a pleasure. They suffer from a lack of basic music player functions, like, why can't I access my Playlists from the receiver directly?!? I don't want to open the app when I'm sitting in front of the receiver, remote in hand. Oh well, once it's playing, it's working well for us.In terms of driving sound, I give this receiver a 10/10. Love it!
