We bought this receiver to upgrade our home theater set-up, and incorporate HDMI connectivity for our sound system. Wow - what a difference over an optical audio connection. The 2112CI is at the lower price range of Denon's line-up, but proved to be a big increase in sound and features over our last Denon receiver. A slightly higher power rating delivers a big increase in actual volume, and using the microphone/speaker set-up process yielded a much fuller sound field using the same 5.1 speakers. The only thing I would change at this point is Denon's screw-in speaker wire connections - which provide a solid connection, but are tedious to work with in tight confines.
These Denon receivers have a lot of possibilities, but the documentation isn't the best and it is difficult to program some functions. Not too surprising, AV receivers these days seem like they are made to fly aircraft. The sound is clean and pretty powerful, the inputs are assignable or renameable, and a nice feature is that any devices connected by HDM I that you power up will also trigger the receiver to turn on and switch to that input automatically. One drawback is that incoming signals from HDMI are not passed along to your display unprocessed; this results in slight blurring from my HD cable box through the receiver and on to my 4K TV. My previous receiver, an NAD, did not perform any signal processing and the TV did a better job of up-converting. This series touts ethernet network accessibility, but I haven't gotten mine to recognize my LAN yet, so I can't stream to it. Remote is overwrought and not illuminated. A universal remote would make tasks easier.Read full review

These are great for smart houses and music as they sit well on a network and are easily configured. Airplay streams extremely well. Ok for home theatre but no 4k HDMI support on the older models such as this - so my point in being only good for running speakers and playing music . Outdated for current/coming Home Theatre needs

It was missing one of the speaker terminals in the back when it came to me. I didn’t see it in the package thinking it may have happened during shipping but was not there. They shipped it that way. Luckily I was able to get a banana plug in the hole for a connection.

The receiver has exceeded my expectations. The sound has been great. Setup was easy once I ignored the instructions. The instructions are not for the faint of heart. Tried to call Denon, but was on hold for over 45 minutes.
