This, a budget friendly AVR with amazing sound when paired with quality speakers. My only complaint is, I wish Denon and Amazon could get their hdmi handshake issues resolved. If you use a Firestick for streaming, leave it plugged into the TV and use ARC or eARC to send the audio back to the AVR. Mine is in a network rack on the other side of my living room. Music streaming with the HEOS app is awesome! Bluetooth works well, but HEOS is much better.

Hello Richy. We appreciate you taking the time to submit your review of the AVR-S970H. We're pleased to hear the performance of your system with a Denon AVR at it's heart is proving to be impressive. We have found in many cases - where sources are connected to the AVR first (such as Firestick) - HDMI handshake issues are generally caused by the HDMI cables themselves. I suggest having a look at Audioquest's Pearl HDMI cable for connecting your sources and TV to the AVR-S970H, as their HDMI cables have yet to let us down. Thank you for choosing Denon.

Worth every penny

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 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!
