I've had this receiver for a couple weeks now and I love it.  It replaced my older&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Denon-AVR-788-Dolby-Digital-Surround-Receiver/dp/B000UPA4OM/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Denon AVR-788 Dolby Digital Surround Receiver</a>&nbsp;unit and an Onkyo before that.  The previous reviews are far more detailed and helpful than this will be, but here are my two cents:

This unit has positively great sound.  I don't know what it does differently than my other Denon AVR-788 unit, but the same CD's and DVD's that I had used before sound so much clearer and louder with this new unit.  And no, I'm not referring to a DVD or BD that has more advanced sound quality.

The remote is sooo much better than the one I had with the AVR-788 (no inconvenient "back door" with additional buttons).  I wish it was back-lit.

The manual is just like seemingly all Denon manuals--complete and massive suckage.  I cannot believe after all these years of complaints from customers and techies alike that they don't make clearer, more complete manuals.  I highly recommend hitting the forums for additional hints and instructions on setup and features.

Another complaint--HDMI inputs will not output to analog connectors (i.e. Zone 2).  I was well aware of this functionality (or lack thereof) when I bought it, but it's still stupid that I have to run analog connections from my BD player, Xbox 360, and U-verse box if I want to output to my house.  In addition, the RCA audio outs are NOT assignable.

The other thing I like in other Denon models, but is not present in this one, is a row of buttons on the front face that allow you to walk by and instantly choose your source instead of having to reach for the remote (which in my house full of kids is rarely where it should be).

I have done tons of research and chose this model knowing all these negatives ahead of time , and I have zero regrets.  It's such a great product.  I hope it has better build quality than some of the other recent Denon (and Onkyo) models, but it sure is great now!

This item is perfect for running three different signals through my vintage stereo system.  I output my TV, DJ mixer, and the third is an 1/8" I csn plug into ipod/computer/phone.  I've been using it a few months and it hasn't let me down!

This was the perfect replacement receiver.  I have a complete audio system now to play throughout the building.  Easy to install and easy to use.

Bought the X3200W based on prior history with Denon as well as next generation feature sets (atmos).  Prior Denon receiver was 8 years old and I think a portion of the main board went bad; did seem young to break but we have gotten a ton of use out of it above and beyond a normal user.  Did a lot of research and listening to Denon and other manufacturers in store.  Chose this based on a combination of price, power, features and trust in the brand.

Fantastic sound and very easy set up.  The streamlined remote and onscreen menus are a dream compared to prior iterations of just about all (older) OEM controls.

I'm usually pretty suspicious of automatic equalization and balancing schemes for a room but I tried the mic and automatic scheme.  The result was much better than I was hoping for and gives movies a much better theater feel than the older Denon it replaced (similar power and specs).

Additionally, it included some functionality that I really appreciated including (these features are likely more common across all OEMs now, but they were buried in older receivers):
1. easy access to tuning subwoofer output (down at night when others are sleeping; up when they're out), and
2. tuning of voice frequency output (center channel usually) so voices are more clearly heard in busy movie scenes (explosions, weather, etc.)

Just what I needed to connect PC to older non digital stereo system.

This was perfect solution for a new tv with only digital optical output for audio. My receiver is good but only has rca audio input. This solved the problem.

I use Indigo BTR9 to connect my old iriver MP3 player to Denon AV amplifier. I use  Auris Bluetooth 4.0 version receiver connected to Denon Aux input. This is easy and paired on the first go. Some times I paired BTR 9 to Bose sound link mini Bluetooth speakers too. Excellent Bluetooth Tx/Rx  unit and great value for money. I'm very satisfied with it and recommend to anyone who need a handy Bluetooth unit with Rx/Tx. It is very small but when fully charged it works approx. upto eight hours.

This was ideal for connecting my new Samsung 4K TV (UN70KU630DF) to my old surround sound system.  The TV defaulted to the correct output and it was simple to hookup the optical cable (bought separately thru Amazon, heavy duty and very reasonable) into the converter (remember to remove the plastic protectors on the cable) and then into the RC inputs of my Sony.  Great sound.

I love this AV receiver. It is really easy to set up compared to my previous Denon receivers. The network port was my main reason for getting this one because software can be updated on it to make it better and better. I love that feature. The sound and video looks great too.

Nice simple receiver. Does not have surround functions, like most modern receivers. Perfect for what I needed it for.

Excellent Receiver for current and legacy devices.  Since I have a many legacy and current devices this was the receiver for me even though it is a few years old in terms of being available to the public.  It allows me to use my BluRay player and my old laser disks as well as supporting internet radio and Pandora!!

This was a great addition to my vintage AV receiver. Now I can easily connect my iPhone 7 to the receiver and charge it at the same time. This is a great solution to the absent headphone jack.  I can keep the phone handy to change music selections or adjust volume. I stream Pandora, iTune playlists and IHeartRadio through my phone and esinkin Bluetooth audio adapter.

Chose this factory refurbished Denon over the new Onkyo TRN626 (same price) because Onkyo quality has become terrible in recent years according to the masses. I was worried that maybe I would have problems getting refurbished. Turns out the only problem (I thought) I had was because I wasn't waiting long enough for the setup mic to start its process (takes about 45 seconds and I thought it was locked up).

The Audyssey setup was very impressive (see attached photos of setup process). It even knew at the beginning that I had swapped the speaker ( + / - ) wires accidentally. I used the included mic and cardboard rocket ship stand around my listening area and it measured the feet and inches from each speaker to the ear, adjusted levels, and even set the crossover frequency of my Klipsch Quintet III speakers (120Hz and it got it exactly right).

Setup led me through connecting and naming my inputs (used all 6 HDMIs in and 1 out to TV), then connected my iPhone to the Denon right from my phone (Airplay, never used it before), and finally connected to the WiFi network using the phones connection. I didn't even have to enter my WiFi password.

I tried out all the inputs including optical and digital coax to make sure they worked before leaving it all as HDMI. It has 2 of the rear ports that do 4K, but I don't have a 4K unit. I am using all 5 rear HDMI (DirecTV DVR, PS3,PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One) and the front extra HDMI (FireTv) so it had just enough to go completely HDMI and a single cable to the TV which I love. The HDMI pass-through works great too. With the receiver off I can still use the TV if I need other functionality. The switching works great, haven't had any drop outs or video issues and the Denon even overlays the menus on screen over what you are watching.

It says "DirecTV","Xbox One", etc. on the panel when it switches sources. It also switches the surround mode appropriately (Stereo, Dolby, DTS, Multi-Channel). The sound is great in all modes

The unit was packaged excellently with strong foam supporting it in the box, plastic wrapping sealed, with new remote, setup mic, antennas, batteries and instruction packets. The unit was 99.9% unblemished (shiny, smooth, black, no fingerprints) with a tiny little fingernail-sized nick on the side, which no one will ever see. The back panel is spacious and solid. Connections were easy to make, even using all the speaker ports and HDMI ports.

This unit works great with the Harmony 700 remote we purchased to replace all the others (which it does and is amazing). We have a single button touch to swap TV, gaming, and movies and it appropriately powers/shuts off everything it needs to.

I am very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this to anyone else.

Used this to replace a blown woofer in an old Pioneer sound bar system from the 90s. The soundbar still sounds better than the junk in big box but the woofer had deteriorated into a blown out mess over the years. After some plier-fu bending, the connectors worked like a champ. This is in a large ported wooden box. Did not need to 'break in' for the sound to come through. Quality build for the price.

Works perfect, optical cable into Converter from apple Mac and RCA cable out from converter to old 80's Kennwood amplifier/Reciever and went right to working perfectly. Seems like good quality and sounds great.

Works well with Crestron audio balan receivers.  Does not over-drive receiver
