A great home theatre receiver will make all of your home theatre viewing better. A receiver is a critical component needed for a premium audio experience in the home. Many of us will be watching the big game mid-February (you know what I mean!). Many of us will also be watching the best movies of the previous year in anticipation of the big awards ceremony in March (again, you know what I mean). Wouldn’t it be amazing to have this fantastic Denon receiver delivering the best sound no matter what you are watching. Learn how you can enter for a chance to win.

Why does the sound matter when watching sports

My wife doesn’t follow football, or hockey, or tennis. I blame her parents. I grew up watching all three and still enjoy them all. The bigger the match or closer the game to a championship match, the better. And the game is usually more exciting if every bone crunching hit is audible—loud even.

When the crowd roars, I want to feel the vibration! When the ball hits the crossbar, I want to hear a distinct “ting” resonate as the kicker’s facial expression melts. When my favourite running back breaks a tackle and sprints toward the end-zone, I want to experience each step as if I’m running alongside encouraging him. The game is not the same without great sound.

The television networks put millions of dollars into capturing the audio experience as much as the visual experience. You must put some care and consideration into how you will hear it or you are missing out.

Have you given up on watching movies for their amazing sound

But we are getting used to missing out, aren’t we? I watch many shows on a phone wearing earbuds. It’s not right and I know it. A film like “Knives Out” was not designed to be watched like a mindless TikTok video. Just like you can’t get as immersed in a story on a small screen, you also can’t with earbud audio. You don’t feel the emotional tension of the characters, or the suspense, or especially the magic of the big moment without big audio. No one would visit a movie theatre, despite the big screen experience, if the sound wasn’t also all it can be.

The Denon receiver we are giving away in this contest helps you return to the good ole days of experiencing big sports games, and brilliantly intense movies, with awesome sound. Add some great speakers and suddenly your home is where everyone wants to be for that big sports party or movie night. We sent the prize that we are giving away in this contest to Jason for an honest review. Read his thorough review to learn more about the versatility and capabilities of this device.

  2. I would recommend watching NASCAR races if they had a big home audio system as it would help you feel you are there at the track.

  4. Fiddler on the Roof – the sound will be exceptional. And, I would be a wealthy man if I had a Denon Home Theatre!

  6. Would recommend all the Star Trek Movies. The sound would be so much better for the action scenes using a big home audio system. Similar to being in a an actual movie theatre

  7. A big home audio system would be great with a large screen movie, especially any of the Star Wars movies. This will help immerse you in the movie without missing all the little things, more life-like experience.

  8. I’d recommend watching the Superbowl or Guardians of the Galaxy for the audio output & video streaming capabilities of the Denon.

  9. I would recommend watching Superbowl because the improved sound would help you feel like you were really there in person enjoying the game!

  10. would recommend to a friend that they have a big home audio system for this Superbowl because the improved sound would help you feel like you were really there instead of just watching on a television!

  20. I would recommend watching Superbowl because the improved sound would help you feel like you were really there in person enjoying the game!

  21. I would recommend watching any of the HGTV home renovation shows, so that the images would be sharp and clear, especially all of the glitzy metallic decor items. Alternately, my husband would prefer to watdh any TML game on this, as sound would be amazing. It’s the closest one might get to being at a real game, since the price of tickets has crept beyond affordability levels for low-income seniors and the average working-class family!

  24. I’d recommend watching the Superbowl or Guardians of the Galaxy for the audio output & video streaming capabilities of the Denon.

  26. I would recommend the musical Chicago. The music would be especially amazing with a big home audio system.

  33. The Top Gun movies; if you want to feel like the jets are roaring past you on the flight deck, this is the way to do it.

  35. I’d recommend Top Gun: Maverick to a friend. I heard the sound of those jets on a friend’s home theatre system and it blew me away!

  36. With such a sound system I would recommend that a friend watch one of older movies like Star Wars or Alien. With the Denon AVR-S760H receiver being able to handle full bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 4K at 120Hz you can’t go wrong.

  37. I’d probably recommend Interstellar, I imagine the music alone would make it worthwhile to have a proper audio system set up.

  41. I would recommend to a friend that they have a big home audio system for this Superbowl because the improved sound would help you feel like you were really there instead of just watching on a television!

  44. If I had this receiver, the first movie I would watch would be that scene in Back to the Future where Marty strums his guitar after turning up the receivers and blows the Amp … ️ rock n roll

  48. I think any of the Star Wars movies would be better with a great sound system to make you feel the whole experience. Also movies like Pink Floyd’s The Wall with all the great music would also be so much better with this system.

  49. Watching NCAA basketball for March Madness always is better with great sound! You can hear the crowd, the band and all that other great stuff. It really adds to the game!

  50. All of the Jurassic Park movies would be amazing with this system. The soundtrack and thunderous dinosaur sounds would shine.
