    A great audio product - made in Japan.
    Finally, I have the Denon AVR-X8500HA receiver installed and working properly - after it was delivered about a week ago.Some background: I've had a home theater for more than 20 years - and have upgraded components occasionally over this time. I've been looking for a new home theater receiver for about 3 years. My sights were set on the Denon AVR-X8500H model - but then, I heard about some video-related issues, and decided to wait for the fix to come out. When the fix was released, the receiver was re-designated as the AVR-X8500HA. The updated receiver was priced a little higher than the first edition of this receiver, so I continued to wait for the price to come down. Denon has now released the successor flagship model, the AVR-A1H - which officially replaces the AVR-X8500HA. So now, we're finally seeing better prices on the AVR-X8500HA - and I decided to go ahead and order one from Amazon.Of course, this receiver does everything I need it to do. I have it configured in a 7.2 speaker arrangement. I have it connected to a 4K TV, a 2K projector, a 4K Blu-ray player, a CD player, a Roku Ultra, a 2K cable TV box, a 2K laptop computer, and an FM antenna. The receiver is plugged into my home network - so it can find and use my music server, and I can cast music from my phone to the receiver over the DLNA or Bluetooth protocols. I also use the receiver's Zone 2 to distribute analog stereo music to other parts of the house, and that is working fine, too.Review: Build quality is excellent. Music and video quality are also excellent. Remote control is pretty good - and has all the functions I need. This receiver replaces my 11 year-old Pioneer SC-68 home theater receiver - which has found a new life in another part of the house.A word of advice: The Denon AVR-X8500HA is a 52 lb. receiver, so be prepared for some heavy lifting. It took me couple of days to remove the old receiver, remove some other equipment and cables I no longer needed, fully clean the equipment area, and then get the AVR-X8500HA installed. It took me another day going through the receiver's configuration setup menus for my theater. Finally, a lot of testing to make sure I had everything working properly with all the other components that are connected to the new receiver. Be sure to schedule a large block of uninterrupted time when installing this receiver. It takes quite a bit of time. Patience is a virtue when installing something as heavy and complex as this.In closing, I'll post an update later if I discover something new and interesting about this receiver. When I get my printed copy, I'm planning to read the entire user manual to see if I've missed something in my installation and setup.Please note: A printed user manual is not included with the AVR-X8500HA, but you can order a printed version on-line. The PDF version of the user manual is also available free on-line from the Denon web site.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Be patient, download manual and learn all your AVR can do.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020
    Well built quality unit. Many settings via on screen menus once TV is connected. Big learning curve for average person. There is a set up assistant that does a good job showing you where to connect everything and walks you through it. It sets up speaker levels etc. This can be manually done also. I used the assistant then tweaked it a bit. Each speaker can be adjusted individually in volume and tone if desired. Be patient. If something is not right it's most likely a setting. My setup defaulted to the unit auto turing on to TV and only the 2 main front speakers and center speaker coming on. I could manually correct this every time by changing input to cable/ satellite and turing on all speakers with remote, but was annoying. 2 settings were wrong. I had to download the almost 400 pg manual and print it to figure out these 2 issues and learned much more. Very customizable. Only complaint is it's very pricy. If you don't need 13.1 surround you can get a similar unit that's 7.1 or 9.1 for a third the price.
