Review: Great Receiver Value - I traded up to a Denon AVR-S970H from an Onkyo TX-NR636 that was slowly dying. They have mostly the same power rating and features. The setup was fairly straightforward with a few little quirks that, until you understand the operating logic, are common when you change brands. This receiver is advertised as a 7.2 channel system. It also advertises a powered Zone 2 output. However, you can't have both at the same time. The powered Zone 2 outputs use re-assigned Back speaker connections and the system then becomes a 5.2 system. Since a 5.1 and powered Zone 2 is what I already have, this fit my needs exactly. If you want a 7.2 channel with powered Zone 2, this receiver can't do that. Most of the new 7.2 systems seem to have a separate pre-amp Zone 2 output, which requires either an additional external amplifier or powered speakers to drive the Zone 2 sound. The use of their HEOS app to access on-line music streaming is definitely different, but seems to work ok. The additional Denon Remote app operates the receiver via Wi-Fi, which also works ok. Nothing fancy, though. The Bluetooth transmitter isn't available for wireless headset use when either the MAIN Zone or ZONE2 are sourced by HEOS, which prevents you from streaming on-line music from the receiver. TV Audio, Blue Ray, USB, CDs, etc. can all still be Bluetooth'd out, just not a HEOS source. I was stumped about this issue and called tech support. They answered the phone immediately and quickly answered my question. Not the answer I wanted, but that's how it works. If your TV or Blue Ray player can stream Pandora, Spotify, etc. app, you can feed that to the receiver and Bluetooth it out to headsets, so there is a work-around. The sound quality is very good and is marginally better than my old Onkyo. The Denon has some audio tuning features not on the Onkyo (Dynamic EQ, Dynamic volume, MP3 Rendering, and others). I have a remote reading temperature sensor in my stereo cabinet. The cabinet with an Onkyo always ran about 90-92dF. This is fairly hot and can impact long term reliability. To limit that high temperature, I had added 4 little computer fans to help ventilate the cabinet. So far, the highest temperature I've seen the Denon run is 80dF, a big difference for the same sound volume. Not sure why that is, but I like the result. I can probably remove the cooling fans. The one thing I wish the Denon had is a programmable TV power button on the remote. This missing feature forces me to use a 2nd remote every time I turn the system on. Overall, I would definitely recommend this receiver to anyone looking to buy in this price range. Review: Great Receiver - I love this receiver. I previously owned the Denon AVR-S660 and I loved that as well but ultimately ended up upgrading to this one to get a little more output power. I'm only using it at 5.2, so I'm not using all 7 speaker channels - but I love it. Good power output and very clear audio. Plenty of Dolby and DTS surround modes. Bluetooth connects easily and reliable. I utilize the eARC when using apps on my smart TV and have not had any issues at all. I manually tuned mine, but it does come with that wired mic thing for the auto setup. Onscreen menus are easy to understand and not overly complicated. I love that when I play my turntable on this receiver that it allows the option to pick a 2nd source for video - meaning I can listen to my turntable through the receiver while watching television that is passing through the receiver - so I can listen to vinyls while watching the ball game. PERFECT. If I had to put a negative on this, I'd say the 2nd zone option that it gives you is a little wonky. The 2nd zone option only exists if you are using 5 channels and not 7. If you are using 5 channels, you can wire in 2 speakers to those 2 unused channels and those 2 unused channels would serve as "zone b" which you can turn on/off as you wish to play music in 2 rooms at once if you wish. I found there to be a little lag of a fraction of a second between the 2 zones, so if the 2 rooms were right next to eachother and music from room 1 could be heard in room 2 and vice versa, it sounded weird because they weren't completely in sync. Maybe that could have been tweaked, but I already had an external speaker selector in place from my previous receiver so I just went back to using that. Short of that issue though, this receiver has been excellent. Clear audio. Powerful audio. Easy menu navigation and setup. Plenty of Dolby & DTS options. WiFi, Bluetooth and ARC have all been reliable.... Very happy customer here. ## Features - ELEVATE YOUR HOME ENTERTAINMENT - At 90W X 7, the AVR-S970H AV Receiver 7.2 Dolby Atmos provides immersive surround sound, pristine video, and smooth animations via 8K/60Hz pass-through.

I bought it to hook up my Klipsch reference speaker system too and use, primarily for home theater. Sounds great with music on all platforms. Has Bluetooth and network antennas. No real user manual but the onscreen is very user friendly and easy to understand. The hook up is step by step. Little more expensive than the Yamaha that could've been included with the speaker system but, you get more wattage, 90 per channel vs 75. ## Frequently Bought Together - Denon AVR-S970H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel (90Watt X 7) AV Receiver - Built for Gaming, Music Streaming, 3D Audio & Video, Alexa + HEOS, Black - FosPower Banana Plugs 12 Pairs / 24 pcs, Closed Screw 24K Gold Plated Speaker Plug Connectors for Speaker Wire, Wall Plate, Home Theater, Audio/Video Receiver, Amplifiers and Sound Systems - Klipsch R-120SW Subwoofer, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/477645703-avr-s970h-7-2-channel-8k-uhd-av-receiver-90w](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/477645703-avr-s970h-7-2-channel-8k-uhd-av-receiver-90w) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
