![Denon AVR-X4500H Receiver Review | Is THIS the one to get?? [4K HDR]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/v7wii5R2DY8/mqdefault.jpg)
Disregard my comment on HDR10+. At the time I had the Panasonic UB820 connected to the TV directly.
LOL! I was about to say...that is not possible. When I spoke to Denon engineers in May of last year, they stated they need to make a new product for HDR10+ support. My guess is they will add HDR10+ for 2020 or 2021. Will HDMI 2.1 be added to that list? We still don't know and they aren't telling us anything.
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb lost my account password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Jake Alvin Instablaster :)
Nice to see a fellow islander doing tech reviews. Nuff respect
Just ordered mine on Monday. Arrives Thursday and I am so psyched!🙏🏻
I purchased the AVR-3312ci eights years ago. It was a great receiver, but it didn't work with 4K videos. I just purchased a Sony X950G 4k TV. I found a great deal on a new Denon AVR-X3500 a few weeks ago and jumped on it. The last Denon gave me issue free service for over eight years, so I had go with Denon again. Sadly my Oppo 103 disc player doesn't support 4K, so I got a Panasonic DP-UB820 4K Blu-ray Player. I have very old Paradigm Monitor 7 fronts and surrounds that are still kicking it. I have a SVS PC-2000 sub that works great with the Denon. Loving my new Denon setup with all 4K components.
I bought this Denon 3600h and within a week I had swapped it over for the Denon 6500, because of lockdown I was able to have an extended audition and after 3 months of ownership I was fortunate enough to be able to return this one as well. I can see why Denon is so popular with their fancy graphics, heos app, easy setup and of course the ease of use of interacting with! But if there's one thing Denon does well, is being able to search out your weak links in ones setup and making them become apparent!
So thanks Denon I love my new 'shielded speaker cables'! 😃
Nice job. Good, clear explanations.
This receiver has gotten great reviews all around. Now that Denon has released the X3700H with HDMI 2.1, I'm hoping the X3600H will drop in price it's definitely on my buy list. Haven't had a good surround system in years, but now that I have a house and a 65" 4K TV time to start putting something together. The home came with ceiling speakers, which appear to be SoundCraft, which I will eventually re-task as height channels.
Just got mine the day before "lockdown"...makes my B&W sound so bright...game changer..great review thanks
Just ordered one for my B&W’s as well. Thanks for the insight.
I love your reviews, bro. Got your notifications switched ON.👍👍🔊
Thanks man, I appreciate it!
Cheers for the video 👍. My Yamaha doesn't have any pre outs for my soundstage speakers so I might go for this.
Great job - bought mine during the holiday sales...wish this video would have closed me much earlier than when I purchased. Its a great receiver and think it'll last me for a few years.
Dam good review man, bro your screen looks amazing. I can literally see the HDR pop thru my phones HDR.
Jimmy Harrison thanks!
Longtime listener first time caller ;-) I have this receiver and the same Pioneer 73 series speakers though I have the full system center floor standing and bookshelf using the Pioneer BS 22 for the rears. I’m using it mainly as a pre/pro and only using the internal amps for the rear channels. I had an Onkyo RZ 810 but I was not a fan of the Atmos processing but the power of the Onkyo was FAR superior. Up mixing to Atmos is light years better on the 3600 and can at times rival true Atmos encoded material. Great review by the way, and a heads up to anyone interested in picking up a pair of stellar bookshelf speakers the 73 bookshelf is on clearance at Wallyworld for an astounding $299 I just picked up another pair to complete the set. There truly is an advantage to a matched LCR setup and a complete setup is even better if only for the unified appearance! Cheers all!
Damn man, quality of your video on an OLED is superb.
Good review. Thank you.
I got the Denon AVR-750H last year and only use 5 plus a subwoofer and the thing pushes all of them better than the Onkyo amps I've had in the past. I still think I'm hearing sounds from outside my den only to find they're on the movie/program I'm watching. The calibration mic is so important; take the time to get it right and most people with a limited budget will be very pleased with Denon especially since the wife will make you keep the damn sound down anyway; so low volume fidelity is also important. Your show just showed up on my PC I'm glad it did, enjoyed it and subscribed, THX
Just bought it, thx. My son loves the 2 tees I bought. Peace!
Thank you for the video. Your 4K is awesome. I do wonder how you achieve it. God bless.
Lots of overkill gear haha 😆
Yeah, I have a Sony 5.2 that I absolutely loved for the past 15 years, but just ordered this unit as an upgrade. 4 main reasons is the 9.2, pre outs for my CV 15's, streaming, and Atmos. Can't wait to check it out.
Hey Great Video like what you are doing.Been watching for awhile, you really know your stuff.I been out the game for awhile and I'm looking to upgrade my old Onk TX-SR706. I still have the old monitor series Polks. Monitor CS2,Monitor 60,Monitor 40 and an SVS PB10-NSD. Would the Denon x3500 or x3600 be a good fit? Looking to upgrade to a 7.1 setup down the line.Do you suggest an amp? Thanks man keep up the great work.
Bought it on sale not long ago for $900. Added an amp to give it 7.1.4 Very happy with it all.
Great review VillaMan.
Picked up the 4500H as I already have the 3300w (for sale). 3600 didn't seem a big enough jump from the 3300.
I'm going to have to rewatch "Ready Player One" now after hearing you mention how cool it sounds in Atmos.
See if I can find the UHD4K cheap...
Great review, dunno why you don't have more subs.. +1
This model has all the formats I need and is fairly future proof thanks for the review.
Just want to say tht I love the channel its very informative. However will you or can you review some of the new onkyo receivers to see how it holds up against the comp. I love the Power and the clarity of it, I'm looking to get a new receiver. I don't know should I stay with onkyo or move on? 🤷🏾♂️
in my opinion, the Denon receiver sounds the best in the middle segment, the main mid bass sounds great, especially movies the yamaha onkyo sounds very bright
Way to many features for my requirements - but great review as always!
Good review, but I will be waiting for full 2.1. Very excited to get the new game systems and upgrade my tv at the end of this year.
No need to wait. Just plug your console to TV and use earc for audio connection. Also less lag when connected straight.
Hi , I have to say I love your channel , and the content that you provide , very informative to home theatre lovers like myself.
I have the Denon X 3600, and I just purchased a Marantz MM7705 5 channel amp, To power my front stage and my left and right surrounds. I am going to leave the four atoms height speakers for 3600 to power So my setup is a 5.1.4
My question is , after I hooked up my external amp , does the receiver automatically know to power up those five speakers ?or do I have to go into amp assign, and reconfigure my set up. I have tried doing that, but don’t see any pre-outs To assign for a 9.1 channel set up.
I don’t see a real difference as far as the volume level is concerned. Example if I have a volume set at -12 DB after installing the external amp, it still sounds as loud as it did at that level before the amp ,When the Denon was powering all nine channels. I think that it sounds clearer though ,is that what I’m after?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you again for your amazing content, keep up the great work ,!,
Great content! I'm building a home theater currently. This is kinda overkill for me! My room is way too small for this! Could you recommend something smaller perhaps a 5 speaker system with Dolby atmos?
Great review Man. I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the pioneer vsx 1028. I just got it at a great price, and was wondering if in your opinion I can do something with this? Speakers and Subwoofer that would work best. Thx man
Subscribed!
Great review - Subscribed!
This AVR is now on the short list to replace a 20 year old Denon AVR that "barely" supports Dolby Digital 5.1
Ha ha ha
I just picked up the denon avr-1500h. Great deal too. What’s your take on this receiver?..
Like the video🤙I used the ypao for my 2 fronts and it comes back with 0dB for the left and +3.5dB for the right! I don't get this shit? Any advice would be good before my Yamaha av or speakers blow up in my face! Cheers.
Simply the best receiver. I is the X3400H firmware earc.
You haven't heard the Onkyo TX RZ 1100, 830 or 840.
Hi from Australia. Thanks for the review and info. I just received mine and noticed that although as you mention the unit only has 9 "amplified" channels it has binding posts for 11 channels. I understand that it can process 11 channels but assumed that this was done by using the pre-outs for the additional 2 channels so confused as to why it has 11 binding posts. Sorry in advance if this is a silly question!
Great review Tha_VillaMan; I'm looking to pickup this receiver, and have been watching reviews and reading about it. What's nice is that you were able to cover some aspects which were still new and informative, that weren't already covered elsewhere.
Had a question; I get that it can process 2 additional channels, which can be realized with the addition of a dedicated amp. But you'd also mentioned using connecting a 5.1 receiver, and wanted to understand that better. Was is just a suggestion in case people had old 5.1 receivers, in which case they could use it like a 2 channel amp, or is there more that I'm missing?
I didn’t mention connecting it to an old receiver in the review, although you could do that if the old receiver had the right RCA inputs.
What I said is you could connect it to and external power amp if you wanted and have anywhere from 5.1 up to 11.2 channels in your system
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Thanks so much for clarifying.
Love 3600H. How do I get my rear Height speakers to work? They test out, but provide no sound in playback on Dts-x. Got to be something not switched on in setup. Great video !
.
Excellent review. I like. Can you give me your views on: Onkyo TX-NR696 vs denon avr-x3600h. Trying to get opinions to inform a choice between both. I am a movie buff with Polk S55, S30, S15 spkrs.
Great review as always! Waiting for a review for a pioneer elite! Can’t decide between the denon x4500 or pioneer sc704. Any thoughts?
Do you use large on your main plus life+main?
Thanks! I’ve yet to have the chance to check out a pioneer receiver. I hope I can, soon. I typically use LFE plus main, yes, with a 40Hz crossover
Have the 3500 love it but only for movies if you want music you must hook it up to a separate amplifier and use the pre outs then it is really really nice and sweet😀
Wsup what would be a good budget 4k uhd tv that can do pass through
@The_VillaMan Waiting on HDMI 2.1 receivers and I hope they come out sooner rather than later in 2020 with 4K/120fps support and variable refresh rate
They really need to bring out a HDMI 2.1 receiver that can handle 4K 120Hz passthrough with eARC, HDR, VRR and ULLM
They just did-2020 version (700 series) will have HDMI 2.1 for only $100 more MSRP
Good review. The X3600 is now very close to the X4500 spec and its a lot lower in cost. I assume Denon will seperate them a bit more with the next X4000 range receiver launches (presumably in 2 or 3 months). If they don't, I am not sure many will choose the x4?00 receiver unless you are desperate for the slightly greater power, in which case get an external 2 channel amp from Crown etc as you will get far more power and unload the Denon for the other speakers.
thanks for this excellent review. I bought this receiver. now am looking for a media player which can play Dolby atmos from streaming platforms like Netflix and Prime Video. do you have any suggestions? I also have a Hard disk, want to play that too. any help much appreciate.
I've been looking for the right AV receiver for a while now but due to the fact my Sony STR 1080 is almost burnt out, I will be purchasing one this Friday, the fact my 20 month old STR is burnt out due to ventilation ( i assume ) so thank you for mentioning about the ventilation with the 3600, but what I'm thinking rather than just keep the front glass door open this time, I'm going to take the back panel off plus drill loads of holes on the base aswell as the one side panel! I've now realised this Denon 3600 is about as big as I could go due to size constraints!
So I'm hoping you're going to tell me with the amount of prep I'm doing, that I should just about be ok, lol if you can't advise me, are there any 9.2 AV you could recommend? if not what should I be looking for in the specifications for a AV/receiver which doesn't get too hot ? Lol, Knowing how many a/vs you test i Would love to get an answer from you,
i got to buy another t-shirt anyhow!!!
New Subscriber... Excellent video thank you. I'm a novice when it comes to this subject but i'm looking to upgrade. So what I would like to know for my upgrade from 5.1 to 5.1.4 is,,, does the 4 additional elevated speakers i'll be adding, have to be "special" in any way (dolby atmos rated or enabled) or can they have similar specifications as the speakers in my 5.1 setup? Or can you recommend affordable atmos speakers. And is there a shortlist of receivers I should be looking at to power these speakers. The Denon AVR-X3600H looks interesting.
I have the original KEF KHT 2005 which still sound great I think. I was going to use the spare KEF KHT 2005 I have for the atmos speakers but is that a good idea? Apologise for the long winded question... Thank you.
U think it will go well with my dali oberon 7 and vokal speakers?
You say you were running your towers full range, what's that? Also I've just got my two towers, no other speakers yet.
Great review man. Do you know if there’s an option to have it set so when you watch a movie via my 4K player, I can have it saved so my Atmos speakers are turned up? I currently on my Onkyo (getting my Denon today) I have to manually turn them up and then when I go back to TV or XBox I need to turn them back down.
It’s the same on Denons and every other receiver I’m aware of. Speaker levels stay the same once set
Can you Review the RTR Eviction Series Ev15 ?
Hey villaman greetings from Brownsville Tx. Besides the other 2 Channels what other big differences is there between this one and the avr-x3500. Just bought one for 549.99. Still new in box. Replacing and old Sony Strza-2000es. Should I keep this one or get the one you’d review
Hey! If you don’t need ALLM or eARC support then definitely keep it
Tha_VillaMan Thanks for you response. I read thru a forum that there’s is an update for it to support ALLM. I hope there is such thing. I comes down to $$$. Based on your review and other you tubers the 3600 is the best bang for your buck. I’ll post a vid of my currents system.
Hi,I am using Denon AVR 2300 do you think it’s worth an upgrade?I am using Tannoy Revolution XT 6 as my front and monitor audio radius 180Hd as rear and B&W CM1 S2 as centre.
Thanks
How did you get HDR10+ to passthrough? I have a Denon X4500 and an Amazon Firestick 4K and I can't seem to get HDR10+ passthrough... Only works when the firestick is directly connected to the Samsung Q90R
Great review! I have been using my X3600H for a couple of months now and I had nothing but praise for it. I have it setup in a 5.1.4 of Klipsch Reference Premier speakers. I have it hooked up to cable, Roku (steaming mostly Disney+, Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, Starz, CBS All-access) and a U-Turn turntable. I get a lot of use out of Disney+ because they have the most content having Dolby Atmos. In my experience the Atmos effects add a whole new dimension to action movies. You really are getting emerged in the sound.
I think the sound emersion is best demonstrated in the subtleties of sound it adds. I use a scene in Avengers Endgame, where there is a street fight happening in Hong Kong. There are street-gangs fighting in the street. Above the street level people fighting, screaming, explosion s going off, falling from above is glass and and all sorts of building pieces falling. To top it off there is a storm with hard rain falling down hitting the buildings, awnings clothing, hitting the different surfaces on the ground of pavement and puddles. One of the gang leaders is wielding a katana, slashing people on the street. Then Hawkeye is seen and he has his katana out ready to take on the gang leader. Now we have the sword fight with both katanas making that shimmering steel sound as they fight. The X3600H keeps up with all speakers including the Atmos speakers with all of the big sounds and the overhead sounds including all of the subtle sounds. I was truly amazed when I heard it.
I think you must use the Audyssey calibration software in order to get the proper sound balance between the normal 5.1 surround sound and the Atmos (height speakers in other formats). Audyssey is really very easy to use. What would be complicated is working to get 10 speakers manually calibrated. Now that would take a lot of effort compared to using Audyssey. Now I, too, did need to modify some settings Audyssey made like crossovers and I boosted the dB level of the center channel because to my ear I wanted more center volume without increasing the volume of all the speakers. It’s kind of like adding salt or pepper to your individual taste rather than adding to the cooking pot.
The Denon X3600H so far has enough power for the room and the speakers I use. If I need more power in the future I can always add an amp. I like the way Denon has included almost every audio software in existence with the exception of Auro-3D. At the moment I don’t have anything that needs Auro-3D and I don’t think I’ll ever need it, but I’d you do, then the 3600 isn’t for you. The 3600 works great, sounds fantastic in 2-channel stereo, 2.1, 5.1 and with the 4 height channels. I would definitely buy it again, I would highly recommend it to a friend or family member. Like in most things it doesn’t have all the things that people ask about or want to buy, so it may not be the right thing to buy for you. However, if you don’t have a need for any of the features the 3600 doesn’t have built it into the the product, the X3600H may be the right AVR for you.
For me, the 3600 had everything I had on my must have list plus, it had a whole bunch of stuff I don’t want or need. So I look at that as a bonus. I’m the kind of guy that usually over-buys and I end up buying a product that costs a lot more and has bells and whistles I will never need but I buy it any way. So I didn’t have to over-pay to buy something that meets my needs and wants while have a bunch of stuff I’ll never need. It’s kind of new experience for me.
I bought mine in the 2019 holiday season in the $800 to $900 range. Denon has has the pricing of the 3600 on a yo-yo. Denon bounces the price between $1100 and the $800-$900 range at least 3 to 4 times in each it came out in the 2nd half of 2019. I got mine during one of these price drops. Then I tried something just to see if it would work, I simply asked if there was some way to buy for a little less. The guy looked in the computer and talked to a couple of people. When he returned he gave me another $50 off. Try it, you aren’t haggling, you are simply asking a question. You have nothing to lose so smile and ask politely. If they don’t lower the price it’s no big deal. but if they discount it, you get a bigger smile on your face. Keep on the lookout for any Denon or online retailer price drops. I know some retailers have open-box units on sale that still have the full factory warranty.
Duaine M where did you buy yours for that price?
frqnj - Best Buy, my local store has a Magnolia area. I’m not sure if all BB stores offer Magnolia areas and they carry the 3600 there. I had the holidays and Denon had a promo price at $899. Best Buy had it at that price and then I just asked for a discount. It could have been the day, or they were slow or they had an internal sales incentive expiring and a sale was needed. Sometimes timing is everything.
Could you review the Jamo atmos setup -> Jamo S 809 HCS HOME CINEMA SYSTEM + Jamo S 8 ATM
I've just ordered the Denon X3600H and the Jamo S809. Will see how it will match, read a lot of positive reviews about these Jamos, and price wise they are impossible to beat. Not sure if this receiver wasn't too much for these speakers but we'll see. Will keep you updated as soon as I try it out 🙂
i just bought it last week
Paid 899 at BB
Why all denon receivers get very hot after 1hour mid-loud listening,is this good,my experience from pioneer receiver is opposite??
can we play videos through usb provided in AVR
Is this better than the Yamaha 1070 model ?
How about performance comparison between X3500/X3600 vs X4500? Does H4500 bring better sound performance in general or it is quite insignificant?
It brings better performance at higher volumes, but either one would do better with an amp. Check out my X4500H review
the 4500 and the 3600 are the same price right now, which one?
I have been in to Home Cinema since VHS/Lasserdisc, and there is always one thing that no matter how many times people try to explain it to me I doesn’t sink in, here me out, I have a house either side of me so bass management is crucial, now, this is the strange bit, I have done my sub crawl, and found the best place I can, as its a small lounge (15’x18’) the thing I get stuck on is the bass, if I have my crossover set to 80 on the receiver it is way to deep and obviously send bass to the floor standers, that’s not the problem, because I have little fingers that want to touch stuff I don’t want them pressing the remote and blowing my floor standers, so what I do is set my Crossover to 240 for ‘All’ set all my speakers to ‘Small’ and I let the sub deal with all the bass, because there is no way, even with the limit set that they will blow my sub, and the bass doesn’t sound boomy or lost, it sounds good, I get the rumbles, the footsteps, even the little thumps and wacks, as my sub is doing all the work, even though My front 3 can handle the 80-120 crossover, so why does it sound better when ‘all’ the bass is going to my sub ?
Laymen’s terms please...anyone ? I am not new to this, I just do not understand bass, also I was told many moons ago that if your sub is at the front of the room then the phase should be ‘0’ but if it’s at the back if the the room then ‘180’ is that still true, I have the late 2017 Denon 2600h, UK based.
The 3600h make older higher end modules (second hand) obsolete. I was planning on getting a 4500h or a 4400h just to 11 channels of processing. Those models used cost more than the 3600h new.
Can anyone tell me when bit streaming is turned off? It needs to be on
for Dolby ATMOS but the default setting on my Sony BluRay is off!? Why
is that? Do I need to turn it on and off depending on what sound mix
the bluray disc is encoded in? Is it turned off for CD music?
I was considering this AVR. Do think it’s better to wait for the X3700H
The X3700H is more future-proofed, so yes I do
Spanish subtitle please, I like so mucho your chanel.
My Denon Avr-3808ci is now defective. I use it on a small room to watch movies on a 5.1 home theater setup. Not able to repair it during the pandemic on my country. So, I’m planning to order a new one online. The new x3600h has a plethora of channels and features that I don’t need, besides being expensive. Do you think a budget receiver like the Denon S750H has a much worse sound quality than the old 3808ci.
Denon avr x3600h or marantz sr6014 which is better
Villaman 3600, 4500 or 3700? My speakers will be polk signature series. I think they are similar to yours Elac. Obviously the best future proof deal seem to be 3700 which is at the same price with 4500. However i dont know if 4500 or 3600 earc will work 100% with lg c9 or cx and a ps5! What do you think my friend?
Weird...you consider DSU to be more active on the overheads than Neural:X? That must be new, because in the past it was the other way round. I haven't used those Upmixers in a while, since my Yamaha has Surround:AI though....
Also...HDR10+ Passthrough? That would be a first on the market I think...
In all my testing the DTS just didn’t sound as good to me with the overhead effects. Of course others might disagree. As far as the HDR10+ pass through goes, I don’t have an HDR10+ tv here anymore, but when I did, I recall it working. I hope I’m not going crazy aka misremembering...
im planning on using the denon for outdoor speaker purpose, not going to be able to connect to a tv so would me not being able to go through the instructions not allow me to immediately use it for 2-5 speakers im planning on connecting it to,new to the surround sound system
im asking before i make the purchases,thanks
But how does it sound??? Sound is everything. Yamaha 1080 i just returned
When will there be hdmi 2.1 full spec compliant receivers? Are there some now?
Good question. There aren’t any out now as far as I’m aware
unfortunately the only way to take advantage of full spec features such as real 120hz refresh rate is to have a display that supports eARC and full-spec hdmi 2.1. You would plug the receiver into the tv's eARC compatible hdmi port and then the game console or PC into the next hdmi port assuming all ports on the tv support 2.1. I hope this is helpful!
@@wemodwii I have a C9 with 2.1 and eARC, but refuse to spend on a receiver until fully fledged 2.1 models come out and VRR and ALLM and eARC etc fully spec 4K 120Hz pass through seamless capabilities are there for PC, Console and TV, Streaming etc.... Receiver can not be a bottleneck if it's supposed to be central to your experience.
@@b6s4shelter I agree with you 100%. I was expecting full spec avrs this year but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be happening this year. Feel free to do as you wish but the solution available today on current receivers is eARC, which will allow you to use your tvs inputs to get full spec hdmi 2.1 including vrr and 120hz refresh rate while using eARC on the receiver for your audio output
@@wemodwii Hey I'm looking to get the LG CX this year along with an amplifier that supports all of its features, and your advice was exactly what I was looking for, so thank you! Please if you could, let me know exactly how to use all of the features, especially 4k at 120 Hz? So I would simply need to connect this Denon AVR-X3600H's eARC HDMI port to the tv's eARC HDMI port, then connect the PC/PS5 console from the console directly to the TV's other port? Please if you could explain this I would greatly appreciate it. 🙏
Will it be enough to drive 7 to 9 klipsch r-51m @ reference level?
I’m running all Klipsch Reference Premier speakers in a 5.1.4 configuration. I use 4 (front and rear) RP-600Ms, one center channel of a RP-600C, one subwoofer SPL-120SW using wireless connectivity with a Klipsch WA-2 and 4 height channel speakers RP-500SA. I have not added any amps to the 3600H. I have not done any output analysis of the sound in the room. I have not cranked the volume all the way but it puts out amazing sound at every volume setting I have used.
can u please explain me, can i play different audio on zone 2? meaning can i stream music to my bedroom while 5.1 is playing a movie in the living room? if yes can i do that over wifi since i have a good wifi speaker in the room?
Yes you can. You can use the HEOS app or the remote
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Hi Tha_VillaMan, this may or may not be related, but I was wondering if it was at all possible that I would be able to have PS4 game audio playing as well as music streaming audio coming out from the same speakers at the same time?
Hello, how are you ?
Friend I have a Denon X3600H receiver, can you tell me if the Pioneer SP-FS52, SP-BS22 and SP-C22 setup would work well with it?
My doubt is that each box has a different amount of W, being the tower 130w, central 90W and the receiver at 6ohms makes 130w, wouldn't the central and surround suffer from that?
It wouldn’t suffer from the power the receiver has unless you play movies at high volumes. At regular volume it would be totally fine
Can I connect 250 W 6 ohms, 1khz speaker?
Will I miss anything if I have HDMI 2.1 TV but receiver only supports earc as 2.1 features? (and I connect everything straight to TV)
No you wouldn’t. In that case the TV would send the lossless audio to the receiver via eARC. The only thing you’d miss out on if you connected your devices to the receiver instead is 4k120 & 8K passthrough
@@tHAvIlLaMaN if i connect a ps5 directly to the c9tv, i still get all HDMI 2.1 features and 4k120 right?
Hello i have some issues now. I am using Panasonic ub820, i was trying to play furry 4k blueray with dolby atmos. But its shows input is pcm and only 2 chanles.

nice denon....
Hi there. I recently bought Denon 3600 after watching your video. Because I have similar setup. LG OLED. Something I noticed with the setup, was hoping you can help me with it - when I start a content on Apple TV 4K - Dolby Vision - I get this “no signal” error for a few seconds before I hear the sound and the video. Do you have an idea what may be causing it ?
Hey! Congrats on the gear! It sounds like it could be the HDMI handshake taking a while. Do you have the Apple TV set to ‘Match Dynamic Range’ under the video options? That could help.
Also make sure in the menu that the receiver isn’t upscaling the signal from the Apple TV, since the Apple TV already does that
@@tHAvIlLaMaN On the Apple TV - Video is set to 4k SDR. Match content - ON
On the receiver - Under Video - Video Mode : Auto, and Video Conversion - Off. And 4K signal format - Enhanced. And still gives me the "No Signal" for a few secs.
@@tHAvIlLaMaN When I have the "Match Dynamic" to off this issue does not happen. Cuz, it is playing the content in SDR - and not matching to "Dolby Vision" or "HDR".
Right, you want to always enable match dynamic range. Why do you have the video signal set to 4K SDR by default? With a C9 you should have it set to 4K Dolby Vision, since that’s the highest quality video format. That might even help
@@tHAvIlLaMaN Not necessarily. If I set it up to 4K Dobly Vision - then everything plays in Dolby Vision. Including SDR content. And the home screen app - which is in SDR color. The whole point of match content is to be able to move between different dynamic range based on the actual content, not process it.

Would you go for the 4500 over the 3600?
I’d go for whichever is cheaper since I’d be attaching an external am. If I wasn’t using an amp then the 4500h would be the my choice, with my speakers
Thanks for the reply👍 anyone know anywhere which sells the outlaw 5000 in the UK? May just have to keep an eye out for a Rotel RMB 1075 if I can't find one
As soon as my bank account lets me I'm getting this.... 👀
Same here
Same here!
I have the X-3500H and two of the HDMI inputs have failed after 6 months. Maybe the 3600-H has been improved. Just wondering if anyone else has had HDMI failures with Denon AVRs?
You sure it has HDMI 2.1?... I was under the impression that we were still waiting for those avrs... September is what I heard but that was before the pandemic.
I would have already bought that x3600h if I wasn't waiting for that.
It doesn’t. It has some hdmi 2.1 features
@@tHAvIlLaMaN so what's your take? Do you wait for the new 2.1 Port models to come out at this point or just spring for this model? I don't plan on gaming and I am using 2 Outlaw 5000 for power(I bi-amp the front stage L-C-R speakers.
I also wonder how much I will miss the Auro 3D that is missing from this unit.
Currently using an old(but still excellent) Denon 3808ci and I want to upgrade so bad but knowing we are so close to new 2.1 HDMI port models has me on pause.
Thanks for any input!
Imo right now it’s still too expensive. Hovering around €1000 here. The 4500 can be had for as low as €799 brand new if you look hard enough. When this drops to around €699 it’ll be a great buy
Cheapskate mentality....
Chavassea Okeke well sorry i offended your clear superiority in finances. I just advise that it would be a better buy at a different price in comparison to current offerings.
i own the 2600h as my friend and reviewers biged it up. my issues are first i have to keep it on the older firmware as it doesnt work with my xbox one s if i update it when it comes to hdr and 4k.
even with the latest software, and the oldest, going into settings for audio and selecting options in the ref area sometimes kicks hdr off and i end up haveing to select a different hdmi and back again for it to return hdr.
lastly and i feel this is a big miss by denon, it doesnt work with my google plasy player as i cant send over by blue tooth my playlists. instead i have to use heos and creat new playlists. why in this day and age cant it just do both. let me cast via blue tooth my music on my android phone by google or any other player with blue tooth suport?
yes the sou7nd is awsome but its far from the perfect bug free experience and it isnt the exellent everyone says, not till it allws the basic us of bluetooth on a phone and not push heos and sort out the kind of bugs i asumed a 500 pound amp would not have.
part of me withes i tried the sony one but hey too late now.
voice operastions with my harmony work great with it and yeh sound is amazing. but it needs to be a smater device
just a warning all those google play playlists you have get ready to remake them on the dennon amps.
8/10 is a very fair rating as sound on my 2600h is great but the bugs and heos take at least 2 poiunts off. if i was a music lover id be giing this amp a 6/10, luckly im a movie guy so its a 8.. And heos works well when you realise to add a song to a playlist you have to open playlist tell it to play from phone, then make sure you press play now and replace que. then go to the song you want to add and play now. then save plaYLIST. ITS STUPID ITS ANOYING AND BECAUSE IM STUPID IT TOOK ME A FEW WEEKS TO CLICK ON HOW TO DO IT. WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF I COULD HAVE JUST PAIRED MY PHONE to the denon amp and played my playlists or songs directly but dennon doesnt let you do that because oftheir badly made heos app. i know theres alot of denon fans out there and yes i never heard a bad review but be warned if like you you want songs from your phone to go directly to the denon amplifiers it wont . At their prices it should.
im saying this for al;l new buyers to be aware as no one else is saying this stuff and truthfully if all people do is tell you the positives denon whos 2600h i like alot is not gona impliment the missing basic features that in 2020 really shouldnt hell 2017 they really shouldnt be missing. its like buying a new sports car with no bluetooth or usb port.
This is a reciever for people who want something you can pitch in a few years ,get you a 9090 db vintage sansui, for the same price you won't be sorry.
No VRR?
No need. Just connect console to TV and run earc for sound. Only earc is must 2.1 feature for receivers.
@@MrRaitzi Yeah right. I'm doing this right now, but when i buy a new AVR it should have full HDMI 2.1 support.
Double or Nothing .... believe that!

?
Just bought mine for $749 at Accessories4Less (Denon factory refurb + authorized reseller)
Any issues? I'm about to pull the trigger there too?
@@jdbeard7934 No issue with the unit itself, looks and functions as new. I have doubts about the advertised 3 year warranty as Denon officially offers 1 year warranty on factory refurbs... will be making some calls about this to confirm/deny.
Chad Jacob good to hear, are they claiming a 3yr warranty included? I was planning on adding the 3 yr protection plan for 57.99 under the buy now option.
@@jdbeard7934 Directly from their website they advertise a 3 year warranty but that seems unlikely, the protection plan you're looking at may be a safer bet.
Hi
How I can talk by phone,
Please
What’s up?
Totally old school, No 2.1 or doses not support 8k!! People are waiting for the new 2020 models !!They can’t even give these away!! 🙉😊
Buying a HDMI 2.0 AVR in 2020 is a bit pointless. Even with some 2.1 features enabled, the AVR still can't handle 8K@60 or 4K@120.
It's junk. I am on my second receiver. The hdmi boards are defective and now the hdmi out arc blew out AGAIN. Their boards are cheap.
