I originally was going to buy a different Denon system but decided on this one with the Boston Acoustics speakers. It arrived on schedule and took me a couple days to read through the manual (just do it) and play with the various settings before the setup was close to what I wanted. A few minor tweeks after that and this thing rocks. I watched the Super Bowl in HiDef surround and was glad I didn't spend the money for the tickets. It was like being there. When you hear people behind you yelling "Defense" or cheering as Eli threw the winning touchdown pass, it makes watching the game more fun. There are enough settings on the tuner to satisfy anyone. Whether it's watching a DVD, listening to the stero or playing XBox, this system can make the experience more fun. Well worth the money. Read the manual. The set up is not for the faint of heart. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Hi, we bought this surround sound system after shopping around for a few days.

It has 2 HDMI inputs, but the sound is not received through these so you'll need separate digital sound cables.

After getting it setup, took about 4 hours. The sound is amazing! The surround is fabulous and the whole thing just creates a great theater experience. I had never setup up a receiver and speakers before so probably took me a bit longer than an experienced person.

I would skip on the additional purchase of the D-dock. I could get the remote working for the Ipod, but no on screen display of the menus. I have a support email into Denon for this so it might get resolved.

It looks great all black and the speakers are reasonably small.

Highly recommend

Returned the unit. Receiver was non-functioning. The speakers, however were exceptional (when using our old receiver). Unfortunately, the instructions for setup were a disaster as well. Anytime you are faced with buttons on both sides of the remote, you know you are in for disaster. Denon has a solid reputation, but they lost it with this version. Never again.
