" ... DO NOT get suckered into buying this receiver, there are way too many other good receivers made by good companies in this same price range to "take a chance" on this unit (I have two Yamaha RX-V679BL receivers that I love . ... I've already sunk way more money into this unit than it's worth, so I won't be spending an additional $30 or to ship it to Denon, only to be given another unit that will most likely develop the same problem. ...

" ... This is actually more than I need coming from an Onkyo 6.1 setup that was not fully compatible with my Samsung JU7100 4K smart tv. ... "
" ... I’ve had the same receiver for more than a few years now, and the amount of equipment supporting 4K has finally hit a saturation point where I wanted to upgrade to a 4K capable receiver. ... I am running a Roku Premiere+, PS4 and Sony Blu Ray player through it and it handles them all capably. ... 4K content has had no issues and updates have been smooth sailing. ... "

" ... Good build quality, up to date HDMI inputs. ... "
" ... In 2004 HD video was analog and either consisted of component or S-Video connections. ... As far as audio quality goes I think the new AVR-S720W has even a fuller spectrum sound than my old Denon, with better definition and definitely superior separation and effects with the newer codecs. ... Denon allows assignable input selection for each source, there are two analog composite inputs for older devices, which also include video inputs as well as 6 HDMI connections. ... Video switches to black between changing inputs or different resolutions ... "
