AVR-S570BT 5.2 Channel AV Receiver - 8K Ultra HD Audio & Video

This is an outstanding av receiver . Sound is clean, crisp ,powerful… setup was easy using the earc hdmi … Synced beautifully with my tv and all I need to use is my tv remote. There is no lag … Audio for YouTube was outstanding/ exciting- very well done.

This surpassed my expectations. I have it connected to my 60" Samsung 4K TV using the ARC HDMI connection. If you're only using this for your TV surround sound, this is the only connection you need to make. I have an Amazon Firestick plugged into another HDMI port on the TV. After going through the setup process (you need to be connected to your TV to follow the instructions) you can control the receiver using your regular TV/Firestick remote. I turn on the TV like I always do and the receiver also comes on, I can adjust the receiver volume with the Firestick remote. When you turn off the TV, the receiver turns off, can't get much simpler than that. The setup was straight forward, just connect your speakers and TV, the calibration process is optional. You will need an HDMI cable as it doesn't come with one, aside from that everything was perfect. The sound is great, so far so good.

This unit serves the purpose I bought it for; to serve as a home theatre base and be able to route my new Samsung TV's sound through my old ADS speakers that I love. I connect the TV via the eARC connection and it works ok however everytime I change channel or fast forward using the TV remote, I hear a popping sound coming from the speakers. It is very annoying. There is also a 2 second lag when changing channels or inputs before the sound comes out, also annoying. I wonder if I should have bought a better model to get better electronics or if there is a way to stop the popping sound I have not found it yet. I'm open to any suggestions you may have. Reducing my rating to 3 stars because of the annoying popping sound on HDML eARC when changing inputs or channels and when fast forwarding. Update 2/27/2025: I did some digging and found this popping sound is a common issue and it is resolved by switching the HDMI audio mode on the TV to "PCM". The popping sound is now gone and when I switch the receiver to Bluetooth, the TV continues to display the TV channel video it was on, only the sound input changes. Not sure how adding surround sound speakers will affect the issue since I read the PCM mode supports only 2 channels. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Raising my rating back up to 4 stars.

I was worried about sound components not working with each other. I have an Apple TV that uses E Arc audio. The first HDMI cable I bought was a very popular rocketfish one that only had a couple reviews of earc, I think someone said it worked, but it did not for me. Womp Womp. Was it just a bad one? So I bought the highly reviewed and ultra cheap Best Buy hdmi cable for eArc. It amazingly worked like everyone said it would. I hooked this denon up to a Klipsch r-120sw subwoofer and some old very small center and side speakers with a mediabridge ultra y cable and the sound is truly amazing. In case anyone needs this info like I did: the sub didn’t work at first with a Y cable. I bought the Mediabridge ultra one because I saw other reviews saying it is great. But the sub didn’t work at first, it only put out some deep sound when something crashed in a movie and I had no music sound from it. I wondered if I was using the wrong cable, but even Klipsch suggested that a Y cable would give me the best sub sound (even though the 3 page sub manual did not say this). So I kept the Y cable and found info on an “advanced setting” in the Denon. I changed LFE to “Lfe + main” and now everything works, music, tv, all of it. The sound is awesome and perfect. There are other settings you can tweak to your liking in the denon, to change the audio, but I haven’t needed to. It all sounds amazing. I am pretty much posting this info to all components because I had to dig through it all myself and maybe this will help someone else.

Major pain to set up. I'm an audio guy. You can't plug it in and turn it on, you have to plug if it into your TV and follow prompts, even with simple stereo. No switched outlets which means I have to turn on my sub separately and remember to turn it off later. Terrible Bluetooth. Terrible manual. Another example of a tech product needlessly difficult to use. Took months to find out how bad this thing is, otherwise I would have returned it. Be careful about bumping a random button on the ridiculously bad remote. You might totally lose a function. Good luck trying to locate it in the manual. Speaking on a bad remote, there is a delay using the volume control. You have to hold it down for a couple seconds before the volume changes, and when it does, it jumps in volume. You go from not being able to hear it to being startled by super loud volume. Did I mention this thing is not very good? I keep coming to add more terrible things about this. If you turn the remote button side down, you might have to set it up again from scratch. When using the remote to increase the volume, it lags and then suddenly goes really loud in a burst. This is possibly the very worst receiver I’ve ever owned. Bluetooth in, no bluetooth out. Can’t use Bluetooth headphones, Bluetooth speakers.

I just purchased a Denon AVR-S570BT AV Receiver. This unit replaced my older expensive Yamaha unit which replaced an older Yamaha receiver. I’ve been burned twice now by Yamaha with units that died well before they should. I decided to try the well known Denon electronics brand which I have owned in the past. I opted to avoid an expensive unit that did not have all of the features of my older failed Yamaha receivers which I did not use. I chose this model because it had everything I required and nothing extra to keep it simple. I have Cable TV, Apple TV and a DVD/CD player. There is no Wifi or Ethernet connections on this model but it had 4 HDMI in connections, 1 out to the TV plus a sub woofer out connection. Upon receipt I was immediately impressed with the on-screen Setup Assistant. It was easy to follow and surprisingly very complete for every connection and the speaker balancing feature using a wired mic. It checked each connection with on-screen verification. Someone put some thought into this guide. Second, the PDF on line or downloadable manual was complete, very well written and easy to find everything when I needed further information. Beside the usual controls this unit has tone controls on the face of the receiver as well as on the remote which will be helpful when viewing video that the bass audio is too loud for my taste. Changing playback modes is easy controlled and the Pure Direct works very well on older movie and TV shows with poor audio and dialog. Finally the Bluetooth connection to my iPhone playlist was very easy to setup and works very well with good stereo playback. So far I am very happy with my Denon unit and hopefully it will have a better life expectancy than my 2 expensive Yamaha units.

Denon makes great audio equipment, and this Denon AVR-S570BT is no exception. After 12+ years of daily, faithful use, my Pioneer AV receiver bit the dust. I researched many quality "budget" AV receivers (to make the wife happy...lol), to replace the Pioneer receiver, and a lot of reviews and recommendations came up with the Denon AVR-S570BT. This Denon AV receiver is very intuitive, and easy to setup. It also has a LOT of features in this lower price range. This Denon AV receiver powers all 5 of the passive, original Pioneer Andrew Jones Design speakers (the subwoofer is self-powered) in my 5.1 surround system very well, and with great clarity. No, this Denon AV receiver won't blow the roof off the house, but it does get very loud, even with inefficient speakers, as the Pioneer speakers are, with an 84 db to 87 db sensitivity rating. However, the Pioneer speakers are 6 ohm, so that helps to increase this Denon AV receiver to 90 watts per channel, instead of 70 watts per channel at 8 ohms. This Denon AV receiver also seems to run a lot cooler than the Pioneer receiver it replaced, especially at higher volumes. This Denon AV receiver has just enough "bells and whistles" for my needs, as I really don't need 7.2 surround capability, Dolby Atmos, or WiFi features that come with the more expensive Denon AV receivers. Although, the included Bluetooth connection does come in handy, and it works very well with Samsung Galaxy Smart Phones. The automatic speaker calibration and setup is pretty accurate, but it also allows tweaking to individual sound tastes. There are probably features and modes of this Denon AV receiver that I will never use, but it's nice to know they are included just in case I need them. Overall, I highly recommend this Denon AVR-S570BT for anyone that is looking for a high-quality "budget" AV receiver. Just know that it does not have all of the newest features of some of the more expensive Denon (and other brand) AV receivers. However, this Denon AV receiver serves its purpose for me quite well, and then some. Only time will tell regarding durability and longevity. However, Denon does make quality AV receivers, and if I can get the 12 years out of this Denon AV receiver that I did out of my previous Pioneer AV receiver, I will be a very happy camper. So-far-so-good, though.

The sound quality , heat management and built quality is excellent top notch. It is very good for music in sterio mode.Unfortunately that's it it's full of problems. Volume control is really bad slow when using tv remote better when i used a xbox as input still not good enough. Hdmi cec is a joke on this device if you are using more then one device. The UI and software is bad not enough customization and looks like software for 90s. It didn't do 4k 120h and sometimes just dosent display the xbox vedio on tv. Do not buy at full price not worth it i wouldn't pay anything above 300 for this

Este equipo es mi primera experiencia en la marca (sustituye a un Onkyo 7.2 que -despues de 15 años- presento falla en el procesador DTS). Debo confesar que lo pense mucho antes de optar por cambiar de marca y no me arrepiento. Este es un equipo verdaderamente “inteligente”: de facil instalacion, intuitivo, sugiere la mejor opcion de sonido para cada dispositivo instalado, en caso de que la fuente de sonido provenga directamente de la tv, con el modo “total direct” el equipo entra “en reposo” y distribuye el sonido tal cual lo recibe, no requiere cables especiales (debo aclarar que no poseo tv 8k), el instructivo (a traves de la pantalla) incluye version en español y lo mejor: para mi sala de 4x4 mts la claridad y potencia de sonido es realmente espectacular. Supero ampliamente mis expectativas, por lo que lo recomiendo ampliamente.

please replace this defective unit

I'll preface my review with this: I don't use smart tech or apps. I prefer my tech dumb, and hook devices up to it to make them smart. I also hardwire. If you have concerns about eARC, running apps on the receiver, Bluetooth or SmartTVs integration, my review will not be helpful. Having said that, I had a very specific problem: I wanted my receiver to handle the audio, and my projector to handle the video. My previous Denon couldn't handle it. My choices were running everything through RCA and 3.5 cord, or upgrade. This device solved this problem. The sound is excellent out of this receiver. I also appreciate being able to turn HDMI passthrough off and using the sleep and standby functions (important for me, because I want my projector to turn off when I fall asleep). There are only 4 HDMI inputs, so if you want more you'll either need a splitter or a different receiver (and you'll pay for it). There are RCA hookups available as well, and you have a fair bit of flexibility assigning the inputs through the receiver. The remote is intuitive, no nonsense, and responsive. It's regular IR so you do require line of site. One problem I ran into, it didn't like my older 2006 era Sony Blu-ray player. I was able to get video but no audio. Fortunately, I had a newer model kicking around on another TV, so I just swapped, problem solved. I'm hoping my other legacy devices will work, but I've got the important devices figured out (PC, Bluray, Nintendo Switch). Overall...I'm impressed. It solved all my problems and then some. If you want a good lower to mid-tier receiver that does the job without the fancy bells and whistles, this is for you.

Comprei já faz quase 1 ano e estou muito satisfeito. Cumpre o prometido. Recomendo.

Muy fácil de instalar, la claridad de sonido con unas bocinas Jamo, (L, R y Central) y subwoofer Jamo, es muy satisfactoria, my práctico con las entradas de fuente directa. Calibra muy bien el sonido con el micrófono y lo optimiza. Por precio-calidad, muy conveniente. Lo único que creo que le falló a Denon es que no tiene un boton para elegir radio directamente, tiene que ser con el control remoto. En automatico sincroniza el encendido de tu TV con el receptor y mejora audio y calidad de video. Para un hogar comun no necesitas mas, no tiene zona B de bocinas pero es suficiente. Chulada, es japonés de fábrica, muy buena calidad
