Denon AVR-S540BT Receiver, 5.2 channel, 4K Ultra HD Audio and Video, Home Theater System, built-in Bluetooth and USB port, Compatible with HEOS Link for Wireless Music Streaming

It would be impossible for me to comment on the sound or anything else since I had difficulty setting it up and Denon support essentially told me they no longer support anything. In any case, I do not believe this to be a good product or that anyone should buy it. I work in support myself, so this is unacceptable in any shape or form. Consider buying a product from an established company to save your money. They also have a worthless online manual for their web products.

I would not recommend it. There are intermittent interruptions in the sound. The circuit breaker in the house has begun to trip. Although the product has only been owned for 60 days, the warranty has already expired. I tried returning it and replacing it, but to no avail.

8, 2018. It also stopped working the monitor out, as well as the majority of audio outputs (speakers). This was past the time when Amazon would be able to help. Whenever Denon receives a call about warranty support, it is not answered since they are always experiencing more traffic than usual. You are better off saving your money and buying.

She runs my older speakers with this and it was a gift from me to her. I'm extremely happy with my speakers, but they are a bit less efficient. The receiver has a difficult time driving them, which I'm surprised about as I replaced the receiver with a counterpart with a similar rating output (but it was The entry-level model is a great place to start, but I really would recommend going up one or two models. A cheap speaker post is located on the back of this product and it is clearly a bargain basement model. There is no clear limit to the dynamic range, but the amps power supply is limited by the current capacity. When played at high to medium volume, the music sounds flat. Not happy with the outcome. You should only look at this if you have a small room with very efficient speakers and a powered subwoofer It is essential to have a woofer.

I couldn't believe how hard it was to set up! I have updated My living room has a more powerful version of the DENON receivers, while my bedroom has a less powerful version of the Denon receivers. In short, the DENON system is a fine home theater system for all the reasons The problem I have with all Denon receivers is that they are a PILOT of a pain to set up. Using their overly complicated stupid on screen interface, you can connect all your speakers to the ports required and spend days or even weeks mining. As I was installing, I tried to dispose of the Denon receiver a few times to get another because it was so difficult to make all the speakers work. My understanding is that DENON systems require a huge amount of setup time, and that set up is both frustrating and near stressful. It is good that Denon has engineers who are responsible for making sure that the manual set up of speakers is To turn all connected speakers on, they need to select Yes or No when asked to make connected speakers active. It would be practical to let you set up the particulars of each speaker to your own taste, but instead Denon proposes a confusing hierarchy of menus and submenus Configuration systems that are a thorn in the side and nearly impossible to understand, access, and use. I find that the Denon system is particularly problematic when I try to turn ALL speakers on at once. It would be a shame to dump the Denon receiver system, because it is a great product trapped behind a Gawd awful, poorly implemented system management interface. It is now best to rate the Denon 3. 0 STARS, since MANUALLY SETTING UP SPEAKERS IS ABSOLUTELY OVERLY COMPLEX AND MINDLESS! This obnoxious machine seems to have been crafted by the best designers in history, then handed off to the worst programmers in human history! What is otherwise a first class receiver at every price point is ruined by the developers of the Denon Set Up Interface! This is my original post, which states that I live in a smallish home and as an old man I am not interested in upsetting my neighbors when they are asleep. The Netflix and Amazon streaming services are the most fun for me. I want to play my video games, watch my DVDs, and enjoy my DVDs. It is a Denon AVR-8080 In terms of basic needs, I am satisfied with the S540BT Home Theatre. The Denon AVR-85FW is the perfect receiver for my 85 inch Sony 4K TV I got for Christmas. It allows me to fully experience the 4K display technology of my new system as it is HDMI enabled Home Theater can be found in the S540BT. Despite the fact that this Denon AVR-500 There is a bit of noise from the S540BT Home Theatre, but it is not loud as the M&Ms The neighbors were yelling loudly about the M's in their candy dish. Although the sound may distort in some cases, it does not easily do so even at higher volumes. Using a cheaper HDMI connector will degrade the video performance of this unit, so I recommend quality speakers, speaker wire, and HDMI connectors. A cheap HDMI connector will result in a purple noise around the edges of the screen that is not present when a better HDMI connector is Using the gold plated $99 dollar HDMI connector is unnecessary overkill, and I am NOT advocating you use that. Do not, however, use the cheapest HDMI connectors as they are so thin that they can pick up noise. RF noise might be created from elevator motors, LED light sources, and other sources in a huge building with lifts and lots of LED lights and other types of commercial lighting. You will need HDMI cables that can shield from this RF noise. A good antenna comes with the device, and most users will be happy with it. The Denon AVR-640 is a 5. 1-channel integrated receiver A S540BT Home Theatre is easy to set up and easy to use. If you connect speakers using a banana plug, you will NOT need to purchase an expensive device. Simple button actuated connectors for speaker wire grabs are used for speaker connection. It is easy to connect an HDMI device. It is a Denon AVR-8080 Easy to connect, the S540BT Home Theatre allows you to connect the right things at the correct time. The Denon AVR-150 has become a staple in high-end audio equipment Essentially a very simple home theater setup, the S540BT comes with a basic 5" screen. Two connections are provided for each unit, but not many options are provided. The sub-woofer circuits seem to be a bit underpowered in this unit they are not terrible, but neither are they the best. It is very easy to use, since the Denon AVR-200 is so simple and clearly laid out that you do not need to read the instructions at all There are several Home Theatre functions on the S540BT. Its front label displays a clean interface for navigating the device I am interested in the S540BT Home Theater. Denon's AVR-100 is an entry-level model suitable for most users Almost all of what you expect from a home theater system works perfectly on the S540BT.

The site is just not very user-friendly. As far as I am concerned, this would not be the best purchase for me. I already.

I thought that I would give this AVR a try since it contains a DENON S540BT. A sale price of $229 is being offered. It would be okay if it was 00. thought I would use the Denon for an emergency receiver if it didn't perform as expected. The Yamaha V385 would be hooked up and the Yamaha would be connected. I was excited about the S540BT, but it was a surprise for I was able to install everything in a matter of minutes. The complaint is that the volume is not as expected, or that it is too low. The problem has been resolved. The Auto setup seemed to offer the best option to me. Afterward, I went into the settings, and here are the settings I made 1

Click on the Speaker Settings tab. You must exceed Whenever you click on LEVELS, it will take you to that level Run the TEST TONE (individual speakers) to verify that the volume is set correctly The following parameters are set to 12db An increase of 12db is possible. +4 is the number I set for the front of my towers. A center level of 5 dB equals a 5 dB volume. At 4 dB surrounds – 5 dB, the ambience is 5 dB. It was at 0 decibels. The sub at + 2 is the last item. There are no difference between db*br and 2. There was no distortion in the volume increase of at least 30 %. 1. 2. 3. The tower crossovers on my tower are set at 80hz - the center at 120hz- The surround sound surrounds at 110 Hz*4. To set a sub mode at LFE + MAIN, with LARGE, I set the towers to a sub mode of LARGE. **5. * I set the treble at plus 6b - in TONE CONTROL The bass has been increased by one. In addition, I made sure that NIGHT MODE was turned off. The sixth point. Setting the DISTANCE is the final step. The 7th point. The next step is to listen to the audio. I believe the sound quality is better than I expected. Set the other options to your liking.

The sound quality is excellent. Roku Ultra provides HDR and 4k video. I use it to watch 4k and HDR videos. Plug the HDMI cable into MEDIA PLAYER, but do not use the HDMI cable for regular video output. You should use the inputs on the right side of the receiver - it reads 4K. This is the first 4K and HDR TV I own, and I've really enjoyed it. We will most likely put the Yamaha away to rest for the summer. DENON S540BT is the product I have absolutely no doubt about recommending.

This one is a no go. Don't get stressed out by getting it. Compatibility with 4K is a problem, all your devices should be able to handle Lastly, I followed Bluetooth's instructions on how to connect my iPhone7, but the connection only lasted 2 hours Next, I have to repeat the process of for 3 songs on shuffle. Sometimes by clicking Bluetooth, I am able to turn on my TV and cable. We have a lot of stress!.
