I just bought the Denon X3800H and set it up last weekend. Listen to TechnoDad, he knows what he's talking about here: this new AVR from Denon totally ROCKS!!! (No, I don't work for Denon; I'm merely a happy customer). I own a Reavon X100 blu-ray player, which before I was outputting the video HDMI directly to my LG OLED TV. But now I am sending the audio/video signal through the Denon X3800H, and the video upscaling of this AVR is AMAZING! A noticeable picture-quality improvement, especially with newer UHD-4K movie disks. The sound quality is full and dynamic through my Klipsch 7.2 home theater speaker setup. For about $1, 700, now you're playing with the big boys!

Even Channa's quick videos contain more than other people's in-depth reviews ❤🔥❤🔥

My 3800H is a true Gem!!! Love it!! Highly recommended as a possible "endgame" unit because of versatility.

Good news! After my refund come through on X3800 number one, I decided to take a shot at another one (from Best Buy with a return period through Jan. 14, 2023). Once again I had some Preset issues, not quite the same as on the first unit, but still, pretty bizarre. Ah, but this past week, Denon put out a firmware update for the X3800 and it appears to have solved the Presets issues. Since Denon never publishes a lot of specifics about what their updates actually fix/improve, they might not even know that the update fixed this problem, but either way. I'm a happy camper now.

5.4.6 and my Wife is good with it in the living room! I’m a lucky man. Marantz Cinema 40 in my future.

Auro 3D is huge gamechanger and the main reason i went got this
to upmix lowsy not so good Atmos Dvds.

I was about to pull the trigger on getting a Rotel 1576mkii (for the same price as this) but this has changed the game. Update on hdmi, 4 subs outs, Dirac, multi zone and Made in Japan. Glad I waited lol

[victormuriel]

This is an awesome receiver, I got it for Xmas and it's been no disappointment since then.

Looking forward to buy some tactile transducers to check that out

Hi Channa, Thanks for letting us know about the X6800 coming out! Jay

[anttitauriainen]

I really enjoy your going into detail videos! One thing that came to my mind. Now if we forget your comment about single surround back not panning properly. Wouldn't it be great if there was 11.1 setting with 6 bed layer speaker using single surround back and 5 height channels including center height. Cause in the end top surround is not that important. But you'd get excellent center height and something back in your bed layer without the need to upgrade to x67(8)00h to get them in same configuration.

[sjsphotog]

loving those new menus for sure. Ive had my 4700h for less than 6 months and now Im jealous but of course I couldnt wait when I got it so....theres always something coming around he corner.... Very very cool. Thanks for the vid TD. Cant wait to try your 3 ATMOS demo tracks once I finish wiring up my 4 height

[welderfixer]

@Techno Dad, great video. Thank you. Denon hits it out of the park again.

Hi, I have a pioneer 9.2channel, and after watching your video on true Dolby Atmos, I changed my sound round back speakers from ether side of my couch, to behind the, lieing both speakers on their backs. Then put on two 4k dvds to try out the sound and boy what a difference.
I am now looking at the hz because I am using large speaks for a 7.1.2 system.
So a big thank you for should a well round video on Dolby Atmos.

[xBGMARTNx]

Great videos! The link for the DLC was in my spam folder. I found it and it worked great.

[ebarbie]

Thanks. I'm considering "upgrading" my X6400H to the new X4800H, but only after Dirac bass control is available as an upgrade option for the X4800H. Can you get Auro 3D with 4 tops + Atmos with 4 tops with all 5.2.4 configuration? because with the X6400H, some setups like tops on ceiling, will disable Auro 3D back top channels (you even made a video about this for the X4400H.

Thanks

[musicjewell]

Damn quick update you just got this!!! Woot I'm closing on my house end of month. can't wait my very first purchase is x3800h. Before anything else ha

[billyjack]

i will probably be using my x3700h for a long time lol

[mattpfeifer]

Having a hard time deciding between 3800h for $1700 or the 6700h for $2300. Which one would you choose knowing you could also benefit from having hdmi 2.1 having a ps5, series x, and computer

[jclyon]

Recently got this as well, I'm loving it so far and it's been a bigger upgrade than I thought it would be coming from the Yamaha 3060. My only recurring issue is that the right rear surround fails somewhere in the 4-6 position of Audyssey. It works fine every other time and during playback, just when trying to do Audyssey on those specific positions.

[tillikum]

thanks for another great video ! I just purchased a 3800 and noticed several differences in the menus so I guess they’ve been changed in the firmware updates.
