Reviews of the Denon AVR-790
-
CNET Review
The Good: Very good image quality on upconverted analog video sources; four HDMI inputs; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Sirius-ready; automatic speaker calibration.
The Bad: Competing AV receivers sound better; no graphical user interface; annoying back-panel design; lousy remote.
The Bottom Line: The Denon AVR-790 is a fully featured midrange AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
