Rating:  - Great AVR/Amazon&UPS NOT!
Absolutely a 5 star AVR. I was set to pull the trigger on the 1909 when I saw the 988 at Amazon's price of $599. I compared on Denon's web site, and AVS Forum (check the "official AVR-2808 thread for some great tips), and easily made my decision.
I have a Denon DRA-685 Stereo Receiver for my music listening room with a pair of Boston VR950 speakers. I knew I'd go Denon again.
Lots of others have posted the pro's & cons of this unit, and yes, it is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. ... Read More
Rating:  - Dis-appointed
First receiver defective... Called Denon, worthless! Amazon customer service is GREAT! They swapped out receiver with next day air!
Second receiver OK. REMOTE IS HORRID! Manual is horrid.
Hard to figure this thing out - and I am very tech savvy...
I much preferred my older Yamaha. Now have an Onkyo - nice.
Rating:  - Beware - Two of these AVR-988's defective from Amazon
I purchased this AVR-988 Receiver from Amazon after weeks of research. I intially thought It was a terrific deal for the features based on the cost of the unit. This unit was purchased to replace an older JVC RX 6500V 5.1 model that I recently lost during a lightning strike to my home. I would like to add that the JVC was not my first surround sound unit. My first surround unit was a Pioneer VSX-5700S 5.1 model that I purchased about 15 years ago and currently been set up in my lower level. It was also lost ... Read More
Rating: - My second Denon
Sent my first Denon (3802) and component HDTV home with my daughter. Got the Denon AVR-988 and new Samsung, what a beauty. Ease of use was greatly enhanced with the addition of the OPPO hdmi switch. So much easier to use.
Rating: - Awesome Receiver
Denon is one of the receivers out there, and the AVR-988 will make your 5.1 system sound awesome. Im using a Bose Acoustimass 10 system, Playstation 3, XM radio, and 40" Samsung 720p (Hope to upgrade to 1080p soon). Amazon's advertised price of $599.00 was a steal. Everyone else had it for at least $799.00. You wont be disappointed.
