Top device - Just get in touch if you have any questions
This is a great AV receiver. I switched from the AVR-4311 to this one because I needed 4k upscaling and Dolby Atmos. Overall, a great product with minor flaws that I hope will be fixed in the software.
Pro
- Scales to 4k/60fps as desired
- Sound is great and the single-measurement microphone has a (stand made of cardboard)
- Runs great with the Logitec Ultimate remote control
- It does not get too warm in eco mode
- Many connection and adjustment options
- Starts up quickly
Contra
- Display still glows slightly red in the background in switched-off mode
- In connection with other Heos devices, there is a delay in the sound from the receiver (except PUR).
- Aero 3D is only available from 2017
First class AVR Receiver
The AVR receiver definitely lives up to the outstanding test reports and especially at the Black Friday price the price/performance ratio was simply unbeatable.
Pro
- First class sound reproduction
- 4K upscaling and de-interlacer
- Processing
- Equipment
Contra
- AVR receiver gets really hot (I now transport the heat away with two whisper fans)
Recommended
The thing does what it's supposed to. Only tried 5.1 so far, as my Atmos speakers have not arrived yet.
Pro
- Lots of connections
- Setup assistant is very helpful, incl. Audyssey
- Makes a good quality impression
Contra
- really gets very hot
- Not cheap, but still cheap for me since I bought it on Black Friday.
- is not exactly small and not designed by Colani, but ok
Great device, in use for 4 years
I can clearly hear the difference in sound between the Denon AVR-X6300H and the Denon AVR-X2500H (7.2 channel, FM).
The few extra hundred are worth it in my opinion.
I also wouldn't want to do without 11.2.Pro
- Works flawlessly for 4 years
- 8 Inputs HDMI and 3 Output HDMI
Contra
- the sources must also support 11.2
- no big difference between the sound modes
Top Amplifier
Once the installation and adjustment is done... what a pleasure
Pro
- Audissey,
One of my best purchases
It's a top device and if you've taken advantage of the many promotions recently, it's also available at a great price.
Pro
- Plenty of connections available
- Setup wizard does what it should
- Super sound
- Menu structure and operation
- Control via app
Contra
- Auro-3D for an additional charge (pure SW update)
- Heat generation (note placement!)
- Remote control design, clunky part
The best Black Friday bargain ever!
Top device with (almost) all the features the home cinema freak needs
Pro
- Power galore
- Top video section with upscaling to 4K
- Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D
- A sound to "melt away"
- Logical menu structure
- High-Resolution Audio Streaming
- 7.1.4 possible without additional output stage
- Control via app
Contra
- Auro-3D upgrade for a fee
- ugly remote control
- No toroidal transformer
- Heat sink somewhat small, ensure good air supply
I would buy it again immediately
Simply outstanding sound.
Wow!!!!
Simply awesome! I used to have the Yamaha rx462 and the denon puts it in the shade! I use the device with kef speakers...
Pro
- Orgasms for the ears
- Bluetooth
- Connections without end....
Contra
- Heat
- Price
Superb features and an amazing product!
I bought this avr about a month ago, on 12.05.2017, to replace my Onkyo TX NR 636 and after much thought, I think I made the right choice.
The sound of the X6300H is really excellent and its calibration is very simple.
My configuration and the following: 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos, and I also made the update towards auro 3D audio directly on the site of Denon for 160 francs.
The Dolby atmos and Auro 3D is really incredible and I am really immersed in the film and the sound what a sensation.
I found myself rediscovering my old DVD's and CD's. Those who want an excellent AVR with 11.2 function, I think will also make a very good choice
And cherry on the cake Denon announced on 01.02.2017 an update for the X6300H allowing to activate the passthrough of the formats HDR Dolby Vision and Hybrid-Log Gamma (HLG).
However, we will have to be patient, Denon plans to roll out this update by the end of 2017, early 2018.

Bought this AVR about a month ago, the 12.05.2017, to replace my Onkyo TX nr 636 and after many reflections, I think I made the right choice.

The Dolby Atmos and Auro 3d sound is really amazing is really immersed in the movie and sound.
I was surprised to rediscover my old DVDs and CDs.
Those who want an excellent AVR with function 11.2, I also think a very good choice.
And icing on the Denon cake to announce the 01.02.2017 an update for the X6300H allowing to enable the pass-through of the HDR formats Dolby Vision and hybrid-log gamma (HLG).Pro
- Very good sound quality
- Great ease of use
- Easy to install
- Auro3D
- Dolby Atmos
- future update of HDR Dolby Vision formats
This review was created for a different variant: Avr-X6300h (11.2 Channel, FM)
I would buy again, so much for the price.
Top machine, this machine really has everything on board. There is nothing more to say. I am completely convinced.
Pro
- Performance without end
- Setting options
- Etc,
Contra
- Nothing at all
Insufficient cooling, stacking taboo
The unit is operated on an XBox (4k) and only has to drive a centre speaker and two small rear surround speakers, the rest is operated via pre-outs. Nevertheless, the unit gets so hot that you can only touch it on the surface above for about 1-2 seconds before you burn your fingers. My previous unit (Pioneer LX-57) barely got lukewarm in the same setup. Under no circumstances should you stack another device (not even a Blu-ray player and especially not the XBox, which has no feet to allow air to circulate).
I can't really judge the sound because I drive the front speakers via a much higher quality pre- and power amplifier.Contra
- Workmanship: unit becomes red hot on the surface at the top of the ventilation slots
