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.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I like to tinker and tweak to my heart's content and you can do this with the Denon AVR-X8500H but it is so feature rich that I find myself appreciative of the many wizards that you can use to configure the receiver to your particular preferences. I have only had this receiver since November of last year so I am still learning and configuring the many options available, but already I can say, without any reservations, this receiver is not a hype and it is definitely worth the price. Hoorah!
