REMOTE: RC-1181

RATING: 3.7/5

Welcome to a review of the DENON AVR-E300 HT RECIEVER with Apple AirPlay. The video and sound quality is pretty solid overall. It has been stated that this is a good entry-level networking receiver and this device is easy to setup. The easy speaker connections allow you to insert wires quickly and easily. Menu navigation is quick and easy with the remote control that comes with the AVR-E300, part number RC-1181.

One of the best features of the receiver is the built-in 9 Band Manual Equalizer. While the preset sound settings do a good job refining the sound, it is nice to tailor the sound exactly to how you like it. One major disappointment is when headphones are connected, the manual equalizer is automatically disabled. It is nice that the receiver automatically recognizes the headphones and shuts off the external speakers, but not sure why it disables the equalizer, which is an issue for some. Using Pandora, Internet Radio and Airplay work well streaming music from something such as an iPod Touch.

Overall this model is fairly solid with a few setbacks, but for anyone looking for an entry level device, the AVR-E300 might be worth checking out.

PROS:
• Sound quality
• Video quality

CONS:
• Wireless connection using Wi-Fi
• Multi-zone capabilities
• 4k pass-through for future compatibility
• Bluetooth so you can stream music from your devices

REMOTE: RC-1183

RATING: 4.0/5

Welcome to a review of the Denon AVR-E400 7.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver. It has been stated that compared to other receivers in this price range, the Denon AVR-E400 has exceptional sound quality. Denon has long been known for its sound quality, and this model is no exception. The AVR-E400 has a full set of encoders, while other models in this price range, skip a few encoders. The Audyssey implementation has been mentioned as being outstanding. Another great feature of this model is how easy it is to control with the use of the remote control, part number RC-1183.

The other internet features are not the best out there, but because that’s not the primary purpose of an A/V receiver, it is not a big issue. The AVR-E400 has Apple AirPlay, but it is better to use a separate AppleTV box for AirPlay. The lack of WiFi can be an issue, but truthfully, it’s much better to have a separate WiFi adapter, which would make it easier to keep up with the latest wireless technology that changes every couple of years.

If it’s all about the sound quality, the AVR-E400 has that. This model lives up to the reputation of the brand and is an easy recommendation.

PROS:
• Sound quality
• Name brand
• Easy to control

CON:
• Internet features
• Lack of WiFi
