Welcome to a review of Denon’s AVR-X3000 7.2 Channel Home Theater Receiver. This is a pretty exceptional home theater receiver although not problem free. This device is a touch trickier to set up then one would like but with a little experience with these devices it shouldn’t be an issue. The front panel is very clean looking, not a lot of buttons and knobs. This makes it very easy to manually select your input device.
The remote control that comes with the AVR-X3000 is part number, RC-1184. The RC-1184 remote control will get you through the setup process and is easy to navigate.
Connect the AVR-X3000 to your home network and open up a whole new world of listening enjoyment. You can enjoy music and audio programs from a vast range of internet radio stations, as well as enjoying music from streaming services including SiriusXM, Spotify and Pandora, but subscriptions are required.
The AVR-X3000 output sound is exceptional. The 5.1 speakers are loud and clear and there is plenty of power behind them. One last thing to note, the unit is also not very energy efficient. There appears to be no way to power it down completely without unplugging it, which causes it to lose the setup configuration data.
Overall this is a superb unit and has a lot of versatility. Though it is not perfect it does have a lot of great features.
PROS:
• Sound
• Exterior design
• Easy to use
CONS:
• Little tricky to set up
• Energy inefficient
• No wifi connectivity
