The ELEPHANT in the room: NO HDMI jack!

Unit arrived in good shape. Amazon automatically offers an HDMI cable with the unit. (One might expect this as low priced units have the bare minimum of accessories.) HOWEVER, there is NO PLACE to plug a HDMI cable!!!  If you want to run a red, white and yellow RCA cables it provides composite video outputs. Be aware, you WILL not get HD resolution.

My advice, Spend $10 more and get a player offering HDMI. Otherwise, order a VHS player.

Only wish they didn't require the old red/white cords vs hdmi as I have to sacrifice my high definition to use

Poor Sound
Average Resolution
Small size but needs hdmi cable that ruins the practicality of the size.

The ports work, but neither the remote or physical button on the device allow switching of HDMI signals. Not useful at all at it's current state. I'm better off just switching out plugs on my own.

Hooked up the receiver and did an update via wireless connection.  Was working fine for less than one day when the picture disappeared.  Read the update directions on the Onkyo website (carefully this time) and saw it said must be done by USB or hardwired connection.  I had trouble getting the USB update to work....but finally got it installed.  The HDMI picture has returned.  So far so good?!?!?!  I would give five stars for sound quality....but one shouldn't have to go through this crap and lose an entire day of their life to get a brand new product to work properly.

Surprise! This actually doesn't do anything except tell the droid it has a webtop connector connected. You can just root and download nebtop and use the HDMI port straight as it is, and you don't need to be plugged into power. What a load of junk!

I am highly upset with the fact that when purchasing this item I was informed I could obtain a free HD micro connector (minus s&h) to connect my camera directly to the tv.  Well, not so much, after registering my product on Kodak's site, I was informed the cable was NO LONGER AVAILABLE.  An updated product description should include this information!  This is information a buyer would need when considering this product!

HDMI Port is behind the battery, this is a major design problem.  You have to remove the battery to use HDMI.  They could have placed this port where the component video port is located.  Also, to use HDMI you will need to buy an [HDMI to HDMI Mini] cable.

You need a very fast machine to edit video shot with this camera, I didn't have much luck with Pentium 4, 2.8ghz using the trial version of Pinnacle Studio 11, the video was garbage, make sure you have a dual core processor as the minimum requirements for AVCHD editing require.  I also have Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum which touts support for Panasonic AVCHD in the updated version 8.0c, but have had no luck getting this software to open the video stream files.  Sony suopport has been horrible addressing my issue.

It seems almost a year after AVCHD, there are still issues trying to edit video on personal computers.

If you have a Blu-ray player make sure to get the Panasonic VW-BN1 DVD Burner to copy your footage to disc and play it back.  Also this burner does not accept +R media you must have DVD-R (4.5GB) or DVD-R Dual Layer (8GB) to write your media to disc.  Playback from disc was excellent using Samsung BDP-1400 Blu-ray player.

Well, I rolled the dice and and lost.  The directions stink, no manual and it does no have an HDMI port.  (2 answers with said it does, 2 answers said is does not...hence the gamble.)  In fact I think the directions are for a PC (not ma) not a monitor.

This dock does not support 4k at 60 Hz via HDMI. That being pretty much the defining feature of HDMI 2.0, I'm not sure how it can claim to have HDMI 2.0 support.

It also appears that the HUB requires several drivers for LAN and possibly other functionality. (There is a Super Drive "driver" for Mac, though I can't imagine what that might do. The USB Super Driver is just a standard USB 2.0 device, and all versions of Mac OS since it's release have supported it natively.) Chipsets exist covering all functionality offered by this hub that are supported on both Mac OS and Windows without drivers, so I'm not sure why CalDigit decided they needed to use something else. Just look at the plethora of USB 3 gigabit ethernet adapters out there that don't need additional drivers.

Finally, though this doesn't factor into my product rating, be aware that it's still quite difficult to find and identify USB-C cables that actually implement the full spec, including charging and the auxiliary data lines required for DisplayPort. I ordered the version of this dock with a 0.5m cable along with a 6 foot USB-C cable that claims to support 10Gb/s USB 3.1 Gen 2, 100W charging, etc. and it does not pass a DisplayPort video signal. As this is the only cable that even claims full USB-C compatibility at 6 feet (and yet doesn't seem to deliver), it looks like I'm going to have to make due with a 3 foot cable anyway.

Edit: Unfortunately after about a month and a half of use, I have to drop my review to one stars.

First, while the network interface did work initially after installing the drivers (still not sure why I need them, other than CalDigit possibly deciding to save a few cents by not going with a USB ethernet bridge that's supported natively by macOS), it now has ceased functioning entirely. I don't know. Maybe I need to install the drivers again after the macOS 10.12.2 update, but if so that doesn't really change anything. There's no reason this shouldn't be plug and play.

Second, and even more importantly, this hub doesn't seem to be capable of reliably facilitating HDCP negotiations, meaning that any DRMed video content won't play much of the time, requiring unplugging and replugging cables, powering off the attached monitor, etc. to get things working again. As long as the MPAA and friends insist on requiring HDCP to watch content I paid for, that again makes this dock more of a hassle than it's worth. I will use it for the moment since I'm outside the return window, but plan to replace it as soon as possible with a proper Thunderbolt 3 dock.

This is not portable.  It requires another USB line to power the device.  HDMI resolution is terrible

Only reason we replaced a high end JVC receiver was that it had NO HDMI inputs, and our new ROKU box wouldn't work any longer without a digital audio output. This receiver was purchased on Black Friday because it was $200 off - good thing too! Most rated it as a very good mid-level receiver, and it's barely that. I'm so sorry we had to take out the JVC - which weighed twice what this lightweight did. It barely powers the powered subwoofer. It can't pump much through the small Energy speakers. The speaker placement / setup came up with the wrong sizes, distances, as well as power per speaker. I still haven't figured out how to power the 2nd room speakers! I just can't get them to work!

Setup is complicated and I still can't get it to turn on the HDTV (HDMI all enabled) for anything but 2 of the 4 functions. It's cheap looking, lightweight, and inefficient. If you want a cheap receiver, and get it cheap, then ok, else, stay away from this. I'm also sad my Sony DA555ES isn't working and doesn't have HDMI. Those 2 receivers blow this thing away!

I'm sad I purchased this...

OK,Update: 2/13/14: I sent the unit to TAP Electronics, per Yamaha Customer service. The verdict? Nothing wrong with it! There's a major noise signal being sent out through the LFE (subwoofer) channels that causes a VERY loud buzz on my $1000+ Polk Audio Subs! Even if the unit is off, there's a buzz! They found nothing! Time to rid myself of this thing and not buy another Yamaha again...We have a Very high end JVC unit, the unit this replaced, connected. No buzzes, no issues, shakes the walls and the windows! We replaced this because we needed something to work with the ROKU 3 HDMI audio outputs - nothing will decode the Dolby Digital Plus except a receiver. What a bust! Sad...

I told Yamaha I don't want the unit back, I want a refund. I doubt they'll comply. So, when we get it back, we'll sell it...after all, it's certified good now!

I really really wanted to like this media player, especially since I've been following the AVS Forums for over 4 years just to keep abreast of the new developments and features. I mainly watch all of my movies via USB from external HDDs. I can't stand streaming as I want my high bitrate audio and video. Afterall, I didn't buy this expensive home theater set up for nothing! To get to my point, I plugged in my 4TB Samsung D3 Station and 3TB Toshiba Canvio Desk external HDDs and they showed up as USB icons, but after clicking them, it showed "Empty" when both of them are filled to the guild with movies! I was calm, I was collected. I proceeded to download and try out 4 of the latest firmwares with the hopes that it will resolve the issue. No dice!

After paying $400 for a media player, I expect it to perform as it's advertised as I understand from reading the forums, many people successfully use 3-4TB external HDDs with no issues. But I have seen sporadic posts from people since 2011 that still weren't able to get some of their external HDDs recognized by the Dune H1 with the resultant "advice" being "just remove the drive, place it in the Dune and reformat it." Nope! Not an option! Especially since they can both be easily accessed and played on my $50 Sony BDP-BX510 Blu-ray player (not Blu-ray folders, however, which is why I was actually buying this media player).

So you have been forewarned if you are expecting to play movies from your external HDDs! It's hit or miss whether your particular brand external HDD will even be recognized by this Dune player!

I think I got a lemon! I bought this receiver after reading the numerous positive reviews on Amazon. Setup was relatively simple, and I was happy with the sound quality. I connected this to 4 Polk wall speakers, a Polk center channel, my RCN HD-DVR cable box, and my 42" Panasonic plasma.

After using the system for only 1 week, I no longer got any picture or sound on my TV. I had made no changes, and never touched anything. I disconnected and reconnected everything and still no picture. Tried doing the factory refresh, and no picture. Some Google research showed that Onkyo receivers have known issues with HDMI connections, specifically the HDMI out, which goes from the receiver to the TV. I called Onkyo and the support person wouldn't acknowledge what I read online, and suggested that my cable box wasn't HDCP compliant. I called RCN and the box IS HDCP compliant!

Anyway, I am returning this to Amazon and will look at other brands, most likely Denon. I won't be purchasing anything from Onkyo again.

It appears there is a software upgrade necessary that I need to figure out how to install. Documentation is horrible and now I'm three months into owning my new system without any HDMI output! Had to bypass the unit to watch TV. Not pleased. I'll update after I try the firmware upgrade to see if that fixes it.

3/7 update: updated software and the video did work but had to go in and tweak quite a bit to get it working again. The documentation isn't the best so if your not a techie, don't purchase this unit. I'm fluent in electronics, engineered live bands, and I'm having to reread things a few times to understand them!

I purchased this receiver because my current one (an Integra) seems to be on the fritz.  Often, as I'm watching Netflix, the HDMI signal will be lost for anywhere between 1-4 seconds, during which time the TV goes dark and there's no sound and my TV indicates there is no HDMI signal coming in.  Usually, the problem goes away after a while (as if it needs to warm up or something), but it's annoying.

I got rid of cable, so I have a very simple setup - just an XBox 360, a Samsung TV, and the receiver.  I ordered this receiver with high hopes - really amazing features for the low price!

I got the Denon and hooked everything up, and started the setup process.  I really liked the automatic speaker calibration - neat idea, although I'm no audiophile so who knows if I'd be able to tell the difference.  But when it finished and I tried to use my XBox 360, that's where the problems started.

First of all, given that I'm using an XBox 360, I plugged the HDMI cord into the HDMI input labeled "game" and turned everything on...and got NOTHING.  Complete darkness on the screen.  So I looked at the back and noticed that the game input indicated it supports 4k, which obviously the Xbox is not...so I thought maybe that was the problem.

So, I switched the cable to HDMI Input 3 for "media player" (which does not have the 4k label).  That made a difference, although it wasn't what I expected.  When the Xbox screens appeared, they had a light green tint to them, and there was no sound coming through at all.  Out of curiosity, I started the Netflix app, and then everything disappeared.  My TV indicated there was no HDMI signal coming from the receiver at all.

So I started experimenting, and switched the cord to HDMI input 2 for "DVD/Blu Ray," and the XBox screens were tinted even MORE green, and still no sound.  Again, I started the Netflix app, and again, my TV indicated there was no HDMI signal.

Frustrated, I decided to unplug this Denon and make sure it wasn't a problem with the Xbox or the HDMI cable - I hooked my old receiver back up, and everything works just fine.  I have to admit, I am not certain that my current problems are caused by my Integra receiver.  The Xbox 360 is old and I've heard that HDMI cables can have issues...but regardless, I am 100% certain that this brand new Denon did not work at all.

Oh yeah, it doesn't help that there was no owners manual in the box, just a quick start guide.  Not sure if there was supposed to be one in there, but it's the first time I've ever bought consumer electronics that didn't come with one.  I recognize it's possible that I got a lemon but this was a disappointment.  Oh well, back to shopping around...

Fantastic image, but does have some cons as far as I'm concerned:

- Only two HDMI ports
- No picture-in-picture (if you care about that)
- No HDMI-CEC
