Product Description
Featuring the latest high resolution surround decoders, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, the AVR-990P is one of the first to feature Dolby's latest Pro Logic IIz decoding, which provides front channel height effects for the first time, dramatically expanding the front soundstage. Audyssey's advanced MultEQ room acoustic measurement and correction system analyzes your listening room's response at up to six points (microphone supplied), and automatically optimizes various parameters for the best possible sound quality.

5 out of 5 stars I love it!   July 7, 2010

I have owned Denon in the past, and have always found it to be quality Audio gear
Now that I need a Home AVR it was to no surprise after taking a 5 or 6 weeks to decide
I went with Denon AVR990 / 3310IC

I wanted to go with Pioneer SC-25 at it was the Model that I was impressed with, and my needs to have Phono Input - with an input stage (the amplification part for Phono) would sound great! - but I settled for the Denon as I got a better price - not sure what the sound difference is, as I did not have a side by side comparison, but I absolutely love the Denon AVR 990 Phono Input stage, with my JVC QL-Y55F - with GRADO G-2 Cartridge - sounds MUCH better than my CD's that I have the same Copy on both, It is a fun test for when people that come over to see how suspired the Vinyl records sound fuller and richer than CD's - also my speakers are also my speakers are Magnepans (full-range ribbon) - that helps


Anyway - the sound is Amazing, and I am very happy with my purchase, as my Previous model for the last 6 years was Harman Kardon - so I wanted to make sure the new model sounded as good or better than my last - as you may have noticed, I felt not go back to Harman Kardon - not because I did not like sound or quality! - The fact is the late models have had Known Issues, I felt better stepping away from that brand for now at least
& Denon & Pioneer certainly fit in that category in my opinion

Key Points for me are as follows:

True HD & DTS-HD Master Audio Decoder
AL24 Processing
7 Channel Discrete Mono Amp Construction
Audyssey Dynamic EQ room acoustic correction system
Onboard HD Radio (even AM)
Network Capability
Compressed Audio Restorer (for when I do stream in lower quality stuff like MP3's)

Now on a negative note: I cannot understand why after using the Very Nice Included Audyssey Dynamic EQ room acoustic correction system I cannot set the Base management for each IE: HD Radio set to -2 or the DVD set to +4 & Phono to Flat?
So yes every time you change the setting in the base management, it goes for all

Please keep in mind I am more about the Music, & given that is the only negative I could think of after owning it now for 4 months, I feel this is a great choice for me.

The best stereo I have ever owned. The quality is simply amazing. The only drawback is the receiver-based navigation for the iPod dock sucks. But other than that, this really is an incredible receiver.

I love my denon. I have had no problems with my system, but my surround is seperate from listening to music. I am a denon lover all the way. My surround and stereo systen is all denon and cerwin vega. With this duo you can't go wrong. I so recommend this receiver. The price here is great compared to denon's website.
