AVR-X1800H 7.2 Channel AV Stereo Receiver (80W x 7), WiFi, Bluetooth

super - amazing - but not perfect - Denon AVR-X1800H 7.2 Channel AV Receiver - 80W/Channel, Wireless Streaming via Built-in HEOS, WiFi, & Bluetooth, Supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, Dynamic HDR, and Home Automation Systems - There are many aspects of the Denon AVR-X1800H Receiver that are amazing. However, the Denon AVR-X1800H Receiver does exhibit some flaws. Despite the flaws, the Denon AVR line of receivers is probably the most practical option available. - setup - the on screen setup, using HDMI to an HDTV, with speaker testing is amazing! - audyssey - I could not get the Denon Audyssey system to produce anything that approached a reasonable experience. I disabled that feature. With audyssey disabled, I have been able to fine tune a wonderful sonic experience. - HDMI passthrough - as wonderful as this feature ought to be, it turns out that it is terrible. First of all, it demands to try to "upscale" all inputs, to a minimum of 2160p. With several computers that I want to display on my big HDTV, including a home data archival server, running the HDMI output from the computer through the Denon creates a completely distorted looking result. It's visually atrocious. - web interface remote control - this is a GREAT feature. Most importantly, the Denon can be controlled directly from any computer by finding the IP address of the Denon on the LAN and simply pointing to it. This is amazing! - Android / iOS remote control - the control interface via the Android OS app is the best and easiest way to operate, control, and adjust the receiver! - sound quality - super overall - running a 7.1 channel setup, using Monolith brand speaks I also purchased on amazon, the surround sound experience is extraordinary. Using the Android or Web interface, I can adjust the levels of individual speakers to fine tune the sonic experience for each movie. The speakers are: Monolith T5 pair front - Monolith T4 pair rear - Monolith D5 front center - vintage (1984) Klipsch KG4 pair secondary front - ELAC SUB1225 Subwoofer. - note - the Denon AVR-X1800H is actually in the middle of the range or the similar receivers that Denon markets. However at this price level the Denon AVR-X1800H already provides what most people need. The addition AVR-X4800H AVR-X5800H AVR-X6800H provide more channels, and more "power", but they seem to maintain similar features. - Heos - have not used it and do not need it. I play all music via an HTPC dedicated computer running vlc media player, iTunes, Kodi, and so on HDMI erac output into the Denon for audio output. - conclusion - overall, except for the nearly unusable HDMI passthrough feature, the Denon AVR-X1800H is delightful. -

Good receiver. Replaciinng Onkyo TX-NR696 because no on screen display of setup on Hisense U8N tv. Also it was not driving my subwoofer. The Denon AVR-X1800H works good after setup. Needed to call Denon to configure correctly to 5.1.2 dolby atmos. Setup menu HD and works with the Hisense tv good. Only downside is that on ARC with tv Google tv volume level not reported on receiver's display. Only does Volume level on screen when selecting HDMI port on receiver. Wish it had audio chrome cast built-in like the Onkyo. Sounds great and drives my subwoofer so much had to turn down the gain on the subwoofer.

The perfect amp for any home system. Bought on a recommendation from wire-cutter. It sounds fantastic, works flawlessly. I have it wired into HomeAssistant for more control.

Finally setup my new Denon AVR. One important reason I got this unit is to be able to use Bluetooth both as a source and to play into BT headphones. First warning: The Denon will let you do one or the other, but not both. That's ok in principle, because doing both at once is not a use case for me. As long as I can easily switch from one to another. But... Apparently because I have used my phone as an input source, the BT transmitter option is grayed out of the menu. It says I can't be using a BT source, so fine, I've disconnected my phone. And the BT transmitter is still grayed out. I can't find anything in the menus, in the manual, or online explaining how to switch off BT input and use BT transmitter. Looks like a once in a lifetime decision to use TX or RX. I could reset to the factory settings, but by now I have a lot of time invested in getting all the settings the way I want. I've got a support request in for an answer. So to be clear, I've spent most of a precious weekend evening trying to figure out how to use a very basic function of this product - without success. Also FWIW, the user interface for this is a mess. My last AVR, a Harman Kardan, required a trip to the manual to do anything other than the most basic functions. I had high hopes for a better situation with the Denon, but it's at least as bad. Example: Although BT functions are in two places in the settings menu, you actually cannot get to the BT receive controls from the menu. Only from a button on the remote control. And of course, the only option is to pair and unpair a source, and no options anywhere on how to disable and switch to transmit mode. So in summary I am extremely frustrated with this product and really regretting my purchase Follow up: Came back the next day and mysteriously the BT transmitter menu is no longer grayed out. However my excitement was short lived. Basically it scans forever and eventually says it can't find any BT devices. My BT headphones pair instantly with other sources such as my phone or my daughter's laptop. However the Denon AVR never finds it, or anything else. I got a response from product support. Basically sent me excerpts from the manual, along with a suggestion to unplug the unit for a bit. Of course, none of that was any use whatsoever. I literally have $20 gadgets that have no problem connecting with BT. How on earth can Denon have screwed this up so thoroughly?!? At this point, I've wasted a precious Saturday evening plus two other evenings just trying to get this product to do this basic function. And now I'm looking at another wasted afternoon unwiring it from my system and returning it. I am just sick about all the heartbeats wasted on this. Deeply regretting my decision to go with Denon. BTW, I happen to have an advanced degree in electrical engineering, and actually work in RF communications. If someone like me can't figure out how to make this product work, then I'd politely suggest that Denon has a real problem...

I bought the X1800h to replace my old Sony STR-DH790 that I've been using and been happy with since 2018. The Sony sounded great, but was not energy star compliant (50w power draw idle, even when "off") and the video inputs were falling behind and causing me HDCP issues. The Denon X1800h was a solid purchase. Video has been great, e-ARC passthrough works perfectly, and my TV even detects receiver input changes and switches video modes between standard/game mode/etc. automatically, which the Sony didn't do. The UI is good, but setup was kind of a pain and there's a lot of submenus to dig through. Despite the hype around the Audyssey XT sound correction, in the end to get good sound out of it, I had to just turn off all the features, buy the mobile app for another $20 to disable the mid-range dip, and then manually tune each channel, which defeats the purpose of having built-in room correction. And even after all that, I think I was still happier with the Sony's sound overall. This is a really good AV receiver, and the video/gaming passthrough and features are top notch, but it leaves a bit to be desired in the sound department unless you're willing to really dig into the settings and manually adjust over days. I also like that you can set volume control to decibel levels instead of generic numbers. Though in actually adjusting volume, the remote is a mess, and tapping volume up or down a few times makes it jump by many steps, and fine adjustment is slow or awkward. I'll miss the Sony, but time marches on. Also, I won't miss the power draw. This one only pulls 2 watts when off, which saves a ton on electric over time (literally almost 1.2 kilowatts daily).

This is everything that I wanted my old ONKYO to be. 80 W per channel really crisp. I’m having fun dialing in the audio, but it’s been a huge improvement to my whole system.

I already had a 5.1 speaker setup so swapping out the old Sony system for the Denon AVR-X1800H was easy. The output per channel was 100w per channel on the old Sony, while the Denon is 80w per channel. Still, it's more than loud enough to crank to a respectable level. I had an initial video drop out on my media device, but that was caused by an HDMI cable that wasn't marked and not fast enough. I ordered HDMI Ultra cables. They are not that expensive, and I don't know why they don't include one with the receiver. It was packaged well. Of course, it looked like it was dropped on its corner but didn't appear to receive damage. Let's hope this unit lasts15 or more years like the preceding AV receiver. Oh, I almost forgot, the speaker calibration is very cool. It's nice that the levels are set automatically. You can test by running HDR, Dolby Atmos, etc. from YouTube. The quality sounds great!

This unit did not disappoint , I have had 4 Yamaha receivers for the past 20 years and this Denon sounds better then all of them. The past two units I had did not last more then 5 years the last one just died. The one before had HDMI’s stopped working. The one before that had hdmi issues too. Well the switch to Denon ! this unit is better, with the factory 3 years they give you they must have faith in this unit. Most others only give a year. Anyway this unit does everything I need and works perfectly with my XBox X , Atmos works perfect. The ability to adjust all the sound variables is amazing, even FM radio sounds great. And at the time of review its$599.00 worth every penny.

Acho a marca é uma das melhores, comprei esse porque o meu anterior estragou depois de mais de 10 anos de uso. Esse modelo foi o ideal para mim, porque tem a saída pré-frontal que posso ligar no meu integrado para dar mais força às frontais, dessa forma, não preciso de um equipamento muito potente para a minha sala de tamanho pequena/média. Uso na configuração de dolby atmos (5.1.2), com 2 falantes do teto. A zona 2 uso a saída também pré, que está conectada a um pequeno amplificador digital. No geral, estou gostando do equipamento e dos recursos.

Working great sound quality awesome Cristal clear sound. Audio automatically detects I purchased this Rs48000/- six months no cost emi. Value for money 7.1 home theatre connected to LG Oled TV Sound quality like cinema theatre durable quality excellent

Upgraded from my old Denon which I loved but was not 4k. Put this receiver into use and there was no comparison. Sound was much more full and sound stage improved. Heos works great and a phono stage as well. Very worth the money. Complexity in sound quality but simple in use. Love it.

Excelente receptor AV lo compre en una súper oferta por menos de 11 mil pesos hasta dude que fuese real, al llegar lo único que me impacto es que la caja si venia muy descuidada me asegure que no dijera re-acondicionado ni caja abierta pero no fue asi. que decir es un equipo de gama media Denon actualice de un s760h la diferencia si es muy notoria potencia de sonido programas de audio y la interfaz del menú es mas moderna lo recomiendo ampliamente.

I received my Denon AVR-X1800H with a shocking surprise — the unit requires 110V, while here in the UAE we use 240V. There was no communication from the seller about this. Normally we plug and play as received, but fortunately I checked the back panel out of excitement and noticed the 110V label. If I had plugged it in directly, the AVR would have burned instantly, and I would have lost the manufacturer warranty. This is serious negligence from the seller. I had to spend extra money to buy a voltage converter just to use the product. For future buyers: Be aware that you must purchase a step-down voltage converter to safely use this AVR in the UAE. The AVR itself is excellent, very easy to use, and I’m running it with a Klipsch 5.2.2 setup — the performance is amazing. Product: 5/5 Seller communication: 1/5
