What customers say about "Key Specs"

Yamaha RX-A2060 9.2-Channel Network AV Receiver

Excellent video circuitry, nice 9 channel sound field, and really good amplifier section.
I love this new Yamaha RX-A2060BL 9.2 Channel receiver. It has plenty of power and the amp sounds great.
Plenty of room to grow with preamp outs for all channels.
One thing to be careful of with this powerful 9.2 receiver is the many built-in amps generate a lot of waste heat. Each speaker channel has a separate amp inside the receiver.
I have to keep the audio cabinet door permanently open to prevent the cabinet interior from heating up and damaging the receiver.

Denon AVR-X4300H 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Built-in HEOS wireless technology featuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

I purchased this receiver primarily for watching 4k movies, its 4k HDMI pass through, and the 9-channel amplifier. This receiver is everything I was looking for in a receiver. It definitely ups my movie watching experience and enables me to get the most from this experience at the lowest cost point.
Great receiver with more than enough power and works great with my SVS bookshelf system.
Sounds great, set up very easy. I have a 7.1 setup in the media room and I use zone 2 to power a set of outdoor speakers. I haven't had a lot of time to play around with it yet as far as various settings for different movie genres
It's got more than enough power to give you the full movie theater experience while still bringing out every last subtlety in the quieter parts. I've only got a 7.1 system but this can handle up to 9 speakers and two subwoofers
Just a work horse for your home theater setup. 9.2 with the ability to expand up to 11.2 with an external amp. Worked amazingly for my 7.2.2 Dolby Atmos/DTS X configuration.
Sounds isn't as clean or full at only. Maybe it's a setting I'm messing up but truehd sounds much better with onkyo. Time will tell

What customers say about "Features"

Yamaha RX-A2060 9.2-Channel Network AV Receiver

The app for this amp is so much better than the app and web interface for the Denon that it is kind of shocking.
The Airplay and Bluetooth both work great with my Amazon Music App on iphone and ipad. Other music apps are built-in such as Pandora Plus which are even easier to use.
The remote is good but I find myself using the iphone Yamaha remote app almost as much as the regular remote.
This is a full featured receiver with a lot to commend it. Everything has worked well, even the iPhone App.
I love the Yamaha MusicCast feature. With it, I don't need pay a monthly subscription fee to access satellite radios.

It can also work with wireless speakers, which would be really nice if you didn't want speaker cables running all the way around your room to the side and rear surrounds.
And it has separate "zones", so you could put speakers in other rooms and only have them active while your main speaker system is shut off.
There is a menu to set your speaker size, and your speaker configuration (stereo, 5.1, 7.1, 7.2.1, etc...). It also has an AVR app on the app store (which is separate from the HEOS streaming app). This lets you configure the device via wifi.
It's also worth noting that the tv ARC feature is the best I've seen. I've had 2 sound systems before this which used ARC, and I can say that this Denon never disconnects, never switches my TV to the internal speakers at random, and correctly powers on/off with my TV.
The software is a little difficult because it tries to hard to make it easy for everyone. But otherwise well worth the money.
Only negative so far is the denon app; very buggy, works ok at times, not at all at others, frustrating enough that I can't see myself using it, except when I might be outside and need to change the source for the outdoor speakers or something.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Yamaha RX-A2060 9.2-Channel Network AV Receiver

It finds my BT receiver and connects just fine but no audio on DirecTv and FireStick inputs.
I have this receiver connected to MK LCR 950 speakers and two MK X12 subs, the sound is amazing. I love this receiver.
HDMI switching is fast and without any problems. So far, I'm very happy with the receiver.
I have a powerful wireless network and every other device I have connects easliy, but not anything with a Yamaha label on it.
No internet functions at all. I even tried hooking it up directly with an Ethernet cable. Nothing works, and there is no such thing as Yamaha customer service.

Denon AVR-X4300H 9.2 Channel Full 4K Ultra HD AV Receiver with Built-in HEOS wireless technology featuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi

Plenty of inputs. Easy to navigate menus. Never a hang up when switching inputs. Output to my projector is perfect
HDMI connections and new audio technologies will allow me to do more than I could with the old receiver.
Has all the connections I needed including hdcp 2.2 and 4k.
HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 gives you the ability to watch the latest and greatest 4K Dolby Vision/HDR10 at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma. To cap it off it has all the latest wireless protocols with WiFi, Bluetooth, Air Play and HEOS.
Add to that the 11.2 decoding funtionality, pre-outs, HEOS audio compatibility, Bluetooth/WiFi functionality and 4K HDR (HDMI 2.0a & HDCP2.2), and this thing has pretty much any feature you could want up until HDMI 2.1 and the next iteration of surround sound or UHD.
