Denon receiver setup

Didn't get help not paying. The phone person said one price then came back and said it would cost more before I even spoke with a tech.

So no won't evaluate techs but service people who filter do a poor job.

I will dispute any attempt to bill my credit card as NO service was provided. And do not enroll me in your monthly plan if you have take me off it now.

Denon radio.com vTuner

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I signed up for vTuner to receive our favorite radio station; KNKX 88.5 Tacoma, Washington NPR Jazz, News. The link from Denonradio.com to vTuner will not download KNKX now.

vTuner will not respond to email & has no phone support. How can Denon direct me to use a system they cant communicate with? Im lost here.

Can someone troubleshoot my issue? Greg

User's recommendation: I like Denon receivers, as well as impressed by Yamahas. New Denon products will provide what my legacy receiver can’t.

Difficult Warranty Repair Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - US warranty repair options are limited.
  • - Proof of purchase is required and items must be shipped.
  • - A prepaid shipping box was promised but not sent.
Updated by user Sep 13, 2023

I had to start the process over by contacting customer service again. I explained that I was supposed to get a shipping box with label and didn't receive it.

Denon's procedure has confusing instructions, incomplete and conflicting information that make it difficult for the consumer. Finally, I received the box with label. This has taken 45-60 days. I shipped the box to the Denon repair contractor.

Hopefully it will be repaired and returned in a timely manner. I never received an apology or follow up by customer service about the difficulty I experienced thus far.

Original review Aug 14, 2023
Not many warranty repair locations in the USA. You must provide proof of purchase and ship the item to a repair center after spending a long time chatting with tech support.

They told me I could get a prepaid shipping box but they never sent it.

They dont respond to follow up or survey communication either. I am going to start over initiating a warranty repair due to an apparent blown or deactivated power supply from an improperly wired Samsung TV ADR Sound from TV output back thru AVR Speakers which kept giving errors on HDMI3 port because in this case it must be wired separately from single AV HDMI-1 cable.
Pros:
  • Sold by costco
Cons:
  • Delays and shipping cost to warranty repair centers

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: Research how easy/difficult it is to get warranty repair service

Remote issues

Hi ; I have a Denon RC-1146 remote that I cannot control the volume, is there a replacement or a refurbished one that I could buy.

Thanks

Cheers

User's recommendation: My unit is quite old and dated, so I would check out Amazon, or eBay first.

Extreme frustration. Unreliable product. Absolutely unhelpful tech support.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

When my CEOL N10 (paired, as recommended by Denon, with their wireless speakers) works, it sounds nice. But it rarely works properly. To add to the frustration, I was told today by a customer support rep that the N10 can only be tested with wired speakers (and that it is supposed to be used with wired speakers).

Loss:
$1000
Pros:
  • Good sound
Cons:
  • Very unreliable equipment and software

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Stay away

Unilateral Order Cancellation

Please explain why this order was cancelled AND why the $3k+ charge is still pending on my credit card!

I expect that if you want me to order the items again, you will honor the sale price.

See if unit AVR-4520CI can utilize blue tooth / WiFi?

I called Denon as I had a few questions in reference to my older unit that is still working.

I got disconnected twice from persons answering my phone.

Disappointed would appreciate being called back on my cell, 845-674-****

Thank You
