Best future proof receiver for the price

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020

I was forced to buy a new 4k receiver when streaming started requiring HDCP 2.2.

Upset, I looked at what my options were. I've had Denon receivers before and liked the price point for this one with the feature set and HDCP 2.3 making it a little more future-proof.

Audio:
7.1 Dolby Atmos is amazing, sound quality out of each channel is crisp and clear. The sound transitions very smoothly from channel to channel, almost as if I can hear a strong doppler effect for sounds moving across the room. Very impressed.

Video:
Video is clean. 3d options also look very good. Clearly getting 4k quality video out of my Optoma UHD51a. Only complaint I have about this device is that the video cuts out when switching between sources and takes a couple of seconds for it to load the other source. I haven't experienced any video cut-outs though unless transitioning between input sources. Not a big deal, but some may be annoyed by this.

Feature Set:
Wireless connectivity is easy to set up. All set-up's and configurations seemingly come with a Wizard for easy set up. It takes you through a step-by-step process of setting up internet radio, web connectivity, alexa, etc. I haven't had any problems with network connectivity. All devices that I use in conjunction with the receiver have paired without issue. Lots of compatibility with today's streaming services.

This receiver is quite the bang for the buck. Hopefully HDCP 2.3 isn't required any time soon, but you can rest at ease knowing that when it does come, you'll feel comfortable knowing that you have a receiver that can handle it.

Denon Taking Advantage of the Pandemic

Great product however I purchased this for $549 pre-pandemic. Denon doubled the price of this? They are taking advantage of customers.

I wasn't sure that this was the right unit to replace my Sony that blew up after 16 years of daily use. After a 3 week wait it finally arrived but I freaked out when I opened the box and there were no set-up instructions. I went on their web site and found the manual and watched a short 2 min. U tube video. After making all the connections, I turned the Denton unit on and followed the directions on the TV screen. It practically set itself up. I can now control our TV, DVD, CD player, Netflix and stereo receiver with a single remote transmitter and there's room for more. The sound and ease of operation is awesome. Well worth the wait and money. Jim K

Denon AVR-X2600H: Excellent Sound, Detailed Rear Input Panel & Easy Setup

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

I am coming from owning a Sony & Pioneer AV Units. My last one was the Pioneer bought over 8 yrs ago & the Denon outperforms in every way. I almost bought an Onkyo and did research and decided on this Denon AVR-X2600H based on reviews from online and personal opinions from store employee's when doing research. After setting up and tweaking the sound to my personal liking I am blown away at the clarity and overall performance that this Denon provides. This is my first time owning a Denon and I am so impressed that I will be staying with them for a long time. I am running a 5.1 system, no desire to drill holes in ceiling for atmos overhead speakers or for rear surround sound either. Though I may add a second subwoofer, still deciding, for a 5.2 system. The way I currently have my system as seen in the pictures I am VERY HAPPY!

Very nice receiver for the money

I have had this for a month and am not yet fully up to speed with all the features, so this review is a bit early. It is a bit taller than my previous receiver, requiring a change to the installed location and longer cables--a specific issue with my installation, but something to note. I like what I have used thus far but have one major caveat.

The BlueTooth feature of this receiver appears to have either way too much power, is failing to go to low power in standby, or too broad a frequency footprint. Over the last few weeks I have developed a problem with my garage door openers. Their range had dropped significantly and their operation became intermittent. After replacing batteries in a couple remotes, I found that this was true of all openers and all remotes, including in-car transmitters. Most assuredly every door, every remote, and every battery didn't suddenly go bad. As we don't need to use the cars for several days a week, I didn't initially make the correlation to the new receiver in the family room adjacent to the garage. However, removing the installed antennae on the receiver solved the problem! Fortunately I have wired Ethernet to the unit, but now have no BlueTooth option for the receiver. I plan to contact the manufacturer, but this can't be good. I have other BlueTooth devices, but their standby mode has never interfered with other 2.4GHz devices.

As with so many manuals these days, the English could use some massaging from a native speaker (who doesn't already know how something is supposed to work--without the manual) to be more clear. Words like "device" and "connection" are used without specificity so you are left to try the possible interpretations. For example, it is not clear what combination of buttons selects an analog input vs an HDMI/digital input from the remote. And I have yet to tackle creating pre-selects for the tuner, for a similar reason.

On the plus side, the setup function to auto balance the speakers in the room worked very well. I have not run out of inputs or outputs, though I have yet to test every combination completely. Picture and sound quality are just what I hoped. I plan to follow up this review should something else come up in use.

Excellent 95 watt 7.2 channel AVR

I like the easy set-up with the Set-Up Assistant and the Audysey Multi-EQ32 speaker calibration software. System sounds better than my last Denon AVR-2313CI. Graphics are much better with new system and easy to set-up all the parameters of the system for it's configuration. Excellent product - hopefully it will be problem free for at least 7 years with everyday use like my last unit.

Bought in July 2019, Still Working

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2019

You get so many reviews about a product breaking right away I thought I would start with, knock on wood, its still working fine. I bought this receiver when I upgraded my entertainment system to 4K. Since everything I use has HDMI and it has plenty of them, it works fine for me. It works well for my PC HDMI also. I bought this over the lesser version because I liked the specs better, seemed more future proof, and because I can afford it. It DOES have 2 COMPONENT videos, someone said it didn't. It also has 2 composite, etc, but all that info is available in the adds and specs manuals. I have not used the component inputs but should I ever want to pull out my Beta recorder and play some of my old Doctor Who recordings from decades ago I think it should work. The remote control is ok. I only use it for setup actions

Great Surround Sound and Easy Setup

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

This is a must buy if you are starting or upgrading your surround sound system. I am not new to this field, been loving the surround sound and home movie experience for over 20 years. I now have the X3600 in my living room and this X2600 in my garage. The Dolby Atmos is an amazing experience. I Added a projector in the garage and wanted great sound when I’m out there, this AVR does just that. If you have 7 speakers or less and a sub this Is the system for you.

All the features on here are perfect and give an amazing sound. I’ve been a pioneer guy forever so this transition to Denon took a ton of deliberation. I seriously was in arguments with myself and not sure about switching. I am extremely happy my wild and crazy side made me try it.

So, when you’re ready, quit battling it in your head and DO IT!!!!!

Impressed by my first Denon in many years.

Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2019

This is my first Denon receiver I have purchased in many years. I owned one from about 15 years ago for a small home theater in my home. It just never sounded great to me and was disappointed. I then went on a stretch of Pioneer Elite receivers, my first one blew me away especially compared to my older Denon. The next one I bought to replace a non 4k ready model was alright, didn't sound as good as the older model, and made a lot of clicking noises. I purchased a new Elite receiver a week or so before this one, set it up and it barely worked, sound was not great, couldn't get that "oomph" out of it, and started getting static on the left front channel, troubleshot it and determined it was defective. This was my last Elite receiver I will purchase. Did a lot of research and decided to give Denon another try, I was leery about another one, but thought this seemed exactly what I was looking for. I was not disappointed, sounds great, easy to set up, on screen display is MILES ahead of Pioneer, works great with my new TV. Just can really drive my Mirage speakers. I would give this model a try. I can't speak for the models below this, but I am thoroughly impressed and truthfully I was doubtful I would be, it was going to take a lot to sway me but it did!

Update: 7/2020:
I have been using this home theater receiver for a while now and I am far less impressed then I was when I first got it. The video will go out or become "snowy" for no apparent reason. Denon suggested it was the HDMI cables, I had the cables replaced in the wall with new cables, the cables from the individual components were changed as well. Still the same thing happens. The receiver has trouble with the on screen display, sometimes it stays up on the screen, other times it wont appear. Some days the picture is black but will have audio, I have to manually switch inputs on the receiver to get any picture. Just not worth the money it goes for, I am not sure what would be a better buy, but it is safe to say this is a disappointing receiver.

I bought this since it is an ATMOS capable receiver that also has, Auto audio calibration, TuneIn, Heos and Alexa support. If you are looking for a single box to be a feature and audio of your TV room this is a good choice. It is not perfect, I wish it had "turn any audio input into 5 channel stereo" like my old Pioneer Elite had. I also wish it had jus a little more dynamic amplifier. Connects to Alexa and takes commands. Heos allows me to stream music services to it including Tunein and Spotify (free which I like).
