Cons
- he Onkyo privacy bothered me. It constantly popped up. ‘Not to Accept’ option didn’t help. It appeared every time when I switched a channel.
- Slightly confusing interface. It was not clear what to choose because my speakers are directly connected to the receiver and I’m not used to it.
- Some customers have issues with Samsung Bluray players (no video output).
- Issues with the HDMI signal (it cuts out with 4K sources).
Denon AVR-S740H
