AHEAD OF ITS TIME.......2003-04-19

Unlike many units out there, this one stands out as ahead of its time - and even by todays standards, still a major contender. Like the Acura legend, the AVR 5700 remains legendary. Quality build, rock solid performance for the HT enthusiast. Musical performance is also decent, especially due to ALPHA 24 processing. I have never clipped the amps on this unit running full throttle - of course, you must use tone defeat in order to eliminate risk; with good source the sound is very clean and undistorted. I use 5700 to drive 5 full range Paradigm's and often with subwoofer off - low end reached 30hz; ended up purchasing a sunfire sub to reach bottom end of 18hz.
No regrets.

You can't go wrong with Denon........2002-03-25

This receiver is just about perfect, and when Denon came out with the AVR5800 they did achieve perfection. This receiver packs 140 watts per channel, every Dolby decoding mode known to God, Ray Dolby and man, a clean, ergonomically sound interface (no Tokyo Light Show as in other receivers and a pertty decent learning remote.
The only thing I don't like about this receiver is the fact that it does not do high bandwidth (HDTV) component video switching and the tuner stage is pretty weak. But if you want fantastic, solidly built, expandable A/V gear then Denon is the place to go.

Excellent for 1999.......2002-03-01

Yes. This is a phenominal piece of electronics. But Please, Get more up to date if your gonna spend full asking price. The new model as of 2/28/02 is the AVR 5800 and it is leaps and bounds more advanced then this one....
Happy shopping!

What a great toy to have.......2001-08-05

Let me start off by saying that this receiver has practically anything and everything that most people will ever need for their home theater. Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound means that you can watch your favorite movies in any format you like best. THX-Ultra certified means that it is the top of the line. It has a very cool 5-channel stereo function, which I find wonderful when I listen to my CD's, music playing equally from all speakers. It has a plethora of inputs and outputs for basically everything. It has digital inputs that you wouldn't believe: 4 Optical, 3 Coaxial and an RF input for Laserdisc Players. It has 2 sets of Component Video inputs and 1 set of outputs. It has inputs and outputs for: Phono, CD, DVD, VDP, TV/DBS, Video Aux, VCR-1, VCR-2, MD/Tape-1 and Tape-2. It also has S-video inputs for all video sources. Surround sound wise, the AVR-5700 comes with 2 sets of hookups for surround speakers, Surround A and Surround B (it is the first receiver to have this). This is so you can use different surround speakers for music and movies. Which is very nice since some surround speakers are built specifically for movies while others are for music. It has a Video Select Function, which allows you to watch one source (visual) while listening to another source (audio). The remote this Denon comes with is a learning remote, which makes it so nice not to have a whole bunch of remotes laying around. It is also future sound format upgradable via 8-Channel inputs and outputs. All in all, this little baby (not too little, weighing in at a whopping 50+ pounds!) is worth every penny and more spent. I love my Denon, it has so many cool and interesting features, so much more than I can say. Buy this, and you won't be disappointed.

I live in a townhome, I suggest making very good friends with the neighbors before you buy the 5700. Otherwise, you will not use any of the power that you pay for, and you will be just as happy with one of the lower Denon models. On the other hand, I had to have this THX receiver. This thing is huge, in more ways than one. The first thing I had to upgrade was my stereo rack. The 5700 is a good 5-6 inches deeper than my previous receiver. The only problem I had with setup was with my television - To get the S-Video to work, along with the Denon's on screen displays, my TV had to be on channel 00. (something that took me 3 hours to figgure out without my television manual in hand) Overall, I am much more happy with my AVR 5700 purchase, than I am with my townhome purchase. I just wish I could turn the volume up.
