I ordered from Costco for delivery tomorrow. They've still got the best deal on this unit at $399, new! This one really checks all the boxes for me, upgrading/updating from an Onkyo TX-NR509 I've had for over a decade. It's been problematic with HDMI switching among other things, and it's missing a lot of the features I need like 4K 120hz HDMI. I was looking at numerous other units but the major deciding factor was actually the depth of the unit. Many others I looked into don't fit in my entertainment stand. Pretty excited to get it set up. Thanks for the thorough walkthrough!

After watching your review and Costco happened to have this on holiday sale for $349. I pulled the trigger immediately and really happy with this receiver. Thanks for your awesome review. Nicely done bro.

Thank you for taking the time to do this, it was awesome!!!

Excellent review! I was thinking about getting this to upgrade from a 5.1 system to a 7.1 (or 5.1.2) system, along with the extra stuff that my PS5 and Xbox Series X supports!

Just scored this for 100 bucks on FB marketplace. I LOVE it!

Good review. Just upgraded to this. Was surprised to see Denon released this great receiver to Costco in a stealth mode :)

Thanks for the walkthrough on this receiver. For a minute I was considering selling my old Nakamichi AVS3 from about 25 years ago and switching to a BlueSound Powernode Edge, which is just a 2.1 stereo amplifier. But I just noticed that Costco dropped the price to $399, so now Getting the Denon is the obvious choice.

I just bought this receiver from Costco and am very impressed with it. I am replacing my Pioneer Elite from 2009 as I have upgraded my TV to a Bravia OLED. My initial impressions are that it is very intuitive along with providing a very rich sound environment after room calibration. I would even say that the sound is slightly richer then my Pioneer Elite then the Denon S760.

My man is still rocking with that 2005 xbox 360. No RROD for this guy.

Super helpful. I’m gonna pick one up now.

Great Review. I currently have a Yamaha RX-V377 that is not pairing with my new Direct TV Gemini Remote. That got me looking at newer Home Theatre Receivers. This looks like it will do the job regarding ease of setup and overall sound experience. Thanks again

Thank you for this very detailed breakdown! I value no-nonsense channels like yours so much. So many channels are more flash than substance, but this was such a great look at this product. Because of it, I've decided to purchase it. I'm replacing an Onkyo TX-NR676. This seems like just enough of an upgrade in all the right ways. I just really need to pass through 4K-120 from my consoles and my attached gaming PC now. I have a very small theater room - 12ft by 15 ft - and this seems like it will give an amazing Atmos experience in this room.

Super informative review, thank you.

Great video, love the deep dive. No fluff

Great very understandable video. Thank you!

Great job explaining, very helpful, thanks

Thanks for you good review 👍🏻👍🏻

I love love love love this receiver!!! My only small complaint is I wish the remote had backlighting; small gripe. The quality is fantastic!!!

Just stumbled on this video. Just bought the X2700H for $1200. gonna send it back for this. Don't need all that power. Save some money too!

This unit has me considering getting a Costco membership. Their price on speakers is amazing too.

good review

Nice job! Some other guy in a video was a quick talker and had calibration, stuff, that the normal joe doesn't have, nor will have for one set up. He did not even tell the folks where to plug in the mic.

Good video mine should arrive tomorrow. Can't wait replacing a Samsung 5.1 sound bar system and using kef Q150 speakers.

Sony probably makes the best remotes. So simple and well laid out.

Nice background music.

Great Review. Thank You for going over the Setup. The Blu-Ray HDMI connector is for the Audio out on your Blu-Ray Player?

I just bought this myself and appreciate the video. I had an 07 Pioneer Elite that I really like but it lacked the arc input for the newer tv’s. So far it’s a decent receiver. Anyone who bought higher end units before will know that many things are eliminated from this unit to get to the price point of under $500. Still a good unit.

looks like there is now another great costco product out there with the Onkyo TX-NR6050 which seems the same as the TX-NR6100? would love to see this one tested. Thanks for a great video.

muy buena explicación, el video es muy util e instructivo.

Question: when you press the Pure button, what does the audio mode display as on the front panel? Does it simply say “Pure” or does it show the name of the source audio?

didn't know you can do ATMOS with front speakers on floor and front speakers above as surrounds and then surround backs at top middle by your sitting area above you thanks will try that

Great video! I just purchased this receiver today. The way my room is set up, I don't have surround speakers, I only have surround back speakers (location wise). So do I treat my back surrounds as "surround" and hook up the atmos the way you did, or should I tell the receiver I have back surrounds, will it give me the option to hook the atmos in via the regular surround terminals? Even if I could do it that way should I? Does the surround and back surround have the same content, or would I be missing something if I opted to use back surround vs regular surround? I tried looking that information up but could find a clear answer on it. Thanks!

I just bought this receiver and your review was very helpful. Thank you so much!!!! I am really looking for a good 5 speaker surround sound setup, any suggestions? I am looking for something nice, so I don’t really mind the cost. I was looking at a couple of good Polk towers to start off.

How do I get this denon avr to play or adjust for higher mids and high? Mine seems to be playing at a very flat sound when watching movies and playing music.

hello, how are you liking this device a few weeks later? This might be my first receiver. I was looking at Onkyo but hearing of hdmi ports failing discouraged me.

Would this be worth replacing my Onkyo GR 686? I can’t seem to get the sound I’m looking for in a narrow/long living and dining room. How much better is the Audyssey auto equalizer than the underwhelming Onkyo?

Thanks for the great review, I plan on getting this one tomorrow, pre ious setup was 5 speaker surround, I want to get 2 more for atmos but can't install in ceiling, can I put atmos up front facing me? And if so what settings need to be made In the receiver settings?

I have pretty much the same 5 Def Tech speakers, I think one gen older. But wonder if adding height speakers vs in ceiling would work for Atmos, don’t really want to make holes in my ceiling.

Below the back assiganable surround plugs, it is written Class 2 writing, what does it mean?

Great video. Is there a way for the receiver to just auto-detect the sound coming from the source? My receiver is set in ARC mode but all the shows I watch seem to have the same DD+ or DD Sur. I have an older model Denon that auto sources the sound. After I ran the calibration, I can barely hear anything from the rear speakers (5.1). Thank you.

Hello sir,after resetting my x2800 denon,I cant find in speakers menu->manual setup the speaker configuration to change front speakers from large to small,how can I fix it;

Nice video. Would you recommend the front speakers to be set to small? This is for the low frequencies going to the subwoofer.

Which Def Tech front main speakers do you have? Thank you for the review.

Hey, Great Video. I just subscribed. I am starting up my own home theater and was thinking about picking up this receiver. I am a novice and not sure what equipment to get. I'm worried/confused about the wattage requirements. I am looking at getting the KEF Q350 bookshelves which say they need anywhere between 15-120 Watts and a PB 1000 Sub which says it needs 300watts. Maybe I'm understanding this wrong but wont this AVR be way underpowered ? I appreciate any info you can throw my way.

Awesome video. Do I need to use banana cables or can I just wrap the speaker wire around the port? I just purchased a Denon S750H for my first Home Theater setup. Total budget for A/V, and seating was $5k.

Need a little help. I have no audio on the center and front height speakers even when setting up. Yes, I have new wiring ran as well. I have a feeling it's something in the settings but I can not figure it out

I have this in my living room for a 5:1 setup. I have two speakers in my back patio can I set this up so those two speakers only work for zone 2? Great video bro.

atmos speakers are connected in surround back? Ty for the video!

If I add a sub, why can’t I find the setup again? I guess I have to do the Audessy thing again instead of just adding a speaker and doing a sub crawl

Thinking about updating to the 760h from an older 7.1 Denon model. Will I be able to use an HDMI slot for an Amazon Firestick?

Great video! I'm looking to replace my Sony STR DH790 which has started to act even weirder than normal. I was originally looking at the Denon - AVR-S970H (currently on sale for $577), vs the Sony - STR-AN1000 (currently on sale for $599), but started seeing recommendations for the s760h. I've currently got an 8 speaker setup (1 center, 2 tower, 2 height, 2 back, 2 subwoofers) in a cozy room hooked up to a 65" Sony Z9D tv. Most tv/movie watching is through roku and xfinity cable, and I do my gaming on the PS5. Is the s970h and an1000 overkill for what I need, and this s760h more than enough for me? Thanks!

Are the front height speakers part of the ATMOS channel or is it like Dolby PLIIz? I currently have two front heights that i would probably assign the ATMOS to until I can install ceiling speakers. Would the front heights give me any ATMOS effects if that's all I have?

If I like to listen to sporting events, movies pretty loud would this give enough power to my speakers in a living room setting? I currently have a 90 Watt per channel receiver and it is definitely loud enough. I'm just curious if a 75 Watt would get loud enough if I have 5.1 channel set up

Thanks for sharing. I have a 3.1 speaker system consisting of right, left, center channels, and a subwoofer. Can I operate this setup with this device without the two surround speakers?

What are your thoughts on running an SVS PB 1000, x2 Kefs Q950s, x2 Kef q150 surrounds and a 250c center. I believe this would power them just fine without an external amp....any thoughts?

I was wondering exactly how you have the projector hooked up what hdmi ports do you plug into on both receiver and projector and do you use optical audio cord or just hdmi

Hi my center sounds extremely pitchy and when I go into heos app there is no bass and treble option like it shows in their video. Can you tell me how to get the center to balance? I have no earc or arc. just hdmi bluray and projector to avr. I am using epson2250 and polk center. Ts560 I think. Thanks!

I just purchased a set of Klipsch R 820 F, a Klipsch Center don’t remember exact model, nothing huge nothing tiny, 12 in Klipsch sub, and two Klipsch R41 Bookshelves. Will this receiver handle this sort of setup? I obviously like loud movies, but not earth shattering. Just want to make sure I didn’t waste my money on a receiver that’s under powered for my recent purchases. Thanks!

Thanks for a great video! I'm waiting for a Costco sale. Does this receiver have bluetooth and wifi? Also is there a hdmi on off control like my Sony has?

Will the Denon AVR-S760H work on a older 1080p TV and passthrough 1080p? My TV accepts HDMI.

Anyone know when/if they will release more? None of my local stores seem to have it

So, I intend to have LCR, Front height, "rear surround" on this unit. I connect the front height to rear surround posts and the surround to my rear located surround speakers to the surround posts? Do I have that right, sounds like that is what you said. Also what is the corresponding menu setting for that?

Are you using a HDMI 2.1 cable from Xbox to S760H ?

I also have outdoor speakers on patio. Is there a zone B or zone 2 so I can hear music outside without the music playing inside?

Would this be considered an upgrade over my Sony str-dh790? Looks like this one has a few more bells and whistles. The phono preamp would be nice. I have a little more power with the Sony at 90 watts per channel. I'm really not unhappy with my Sony but just wondered if this would give me a richer sound? The height of this receiver (6") is the max I can go. And a little extra info... my current set up is only 3.1.2 which works well in my smallish living room. Using Polk bookshelf speakers, Sony atmos and a JBL sub.

Just bought this at Costco for $450. Amazon has it for $599. eBay had it for $535. My 10 year old Pioneer’s ARC doesn’t work with my new Samsung 86” TV’s eARC. Can’t get surround sound. Sound only works on PCM mode. I am hoping this works. Beat Buy representative said it should.

I am going to buy this week. but S760 & S1700H seems similar!! here in australia, s760 is 150$ less than 1700. which one you think the best to go for? appreciated.

I only got two front speakers and two back surrounded speakers. How will this work with this receiver?

I just have a question. Original set up went fine, but then I lost bluetooth to my little Bose speaker. When I tried to reinstall, the menu did not come back on the television. How do I get it to be available to see? Seems like a silly question, but I just don't get it. Thank you!

Can you connect the speakers with regular speaker wire? not RCA thanks

Can I pass thru with the reciever off. I usually play games and watch TV with home theater off and I have it on for movies.

Question. Can i plug a fire stick into one of the hdmi in, in the back?

I see a button with Zone2 Sources on it, what can I connect to it?

Looking to pair this up with Klipsch Reference Cinema System 5.1.4 with Dolby ATMOS how do you think that will be

I will be buying to replace my s500bt. I have Polk t50 tower speakers, cs10 center, psw10 subwoofer and PSB b4 bookshelf speakers

Would the Dali Oberon 1 speaker set work well with this avr

From what I’ve seen, this receiver says it has two zones. I was hoping to set up 5 speakers ( front left and right, center, and rear left and right) and then put two ceiling speakers under my back patio for music out there, but not have my tv sounds playing in those speakers all the time. I feel like from all of the videos I’ve seen/things I’ve read, that this receiver should be able to accomplish that, but I just wanted see if anyone else has tried this and had success?

What subwoofer would you recommend for this receiver?

Also plz tell where I can put my ceiling speaker 🔊 with this receiver tnx

Just bought this one in Costco clearance sale. Plz advise 5.2.1 speakers under 500$ budget.

Hi im from Brazil you know how update avr 791 denon dont have a rj45 to plug in?

My amp just died...although the stand by light is on? Im looking at the 660 below this as its cheaper..or is this one worth the extra? Thanks.

How do you show that menu at 7:44 ?

I’m gonna pick up this unit for my new budget setup can’t beat this for 399 and I’m usually a onkyo guy but at 100 dollars more I couldn’t pass this up

What's a good set of speakers to uses with this receiver?

Do you recommend turning off auto firmware update feature?

Thanks for the helpful review, as I am considering purchasing this receiver. I have 5 home theater speakers but also two speakers in another room. Can this receiver set those two particular speakers as a zone 2, which can be selected on or off? Thanks in advance

Is it possible to configure this receiver in 5.2 channels?

Can I use taga 607 v3 speakers

What do you think this Dnon s760 is better or Onkyo tx nr 6050 please tell me about this

Have you run into any audio syncing issues?

Would this be a better upgraded to my Sony DH770?

Good budget receiver, either go base model Audessey, or full XT32. No sense in wasting time with anything in between.. that means either 400$ or 1600$ unfortunately. XT32 has never "trickled down" been around for 15 years but still has a high entry cost.

GM and thanks for the great video! Appreciate it. I just purchased an s760h and a Samsung QLED Neo 75" TV. I will be installing in a finished home rec-room in our basement. It's been a long time since I've set up an environment like this and I'm excited to put the pieces together. I've a couple of questions. One easy and one more perplexing. 1). Any HDMI 2.1 cable recommendations? 2). Now for the harder question. The room was finished by the prior owner years ago and is wired for 5.1 surround with 2 in-wall rear speakers. I have a set of speakers from paradigm; 4 bookshelf, 1 center channel, and 1 sub-woofer. With the wires in the walls AND the two rear speakers the prior owner installed, I can easily configure a 5.1 arrangement using all but 2 of my bookshelf paradigm speakers. With the 760, I'd like to somehow use those extra speakers for either L/R surround or rear surround. Unfortunately, I don't have an option to run additional wires as the room is finished. And, my wife would have a fit if I tore apart the walls/ceiling to do so. :) Is there an option to place those speakers using some sort of wireless components? I'm thinking something along the lines of a transmitter plugged into the rear of the 760 and two powered receivers placed in an optimal position that I could then wire to the speakers? Are you aware of any possible solutions akin to this idea? Does this even make sense? Or, could I somehow enjoy those speakers configured in a front position even though traditionally they should be placed at the sides/rear of the listener? Would appreciate any thoughts you have?

My atmos stopped kicking in any suggestions

The onboard phono input is inadequate, better off using an external phono preamp or phono stage - How does this compare to Pioneer's VSX935 8k receiver?

Just purchased the s760h and stumbled across your channel looking for setup info. I’m replacing an old onkyo nr8100 and wil be using the denon to power polks psw108 t50 t15 x35 and x90 speakers. Your videos have been helpful and I subscribed. I have the x90’s mounted high and to the L&R of my theater chairs do you think that would be adequate for Atmos?

Can you Biamp the front speakers?

The receiver is 100 off from Costco right now!

i didnt get a mic with my denon receiver.. where do i get one?
