Even though this receiver has been for sale for a couple of months, Denon still doesn’t have it in their Product Registration, so you can’t go online to register a new 760 yet!
I contacted Support about this. They explained the above and said they manuall registered my Denon for me. :)
Box getting Cat-Scan:
Inside a refurb box:
Bits and bots:
Old AVR removed and hutch undergoing review for insertion of new AVR
Connections check out, but possibly need new HDMI cable
Installed
New receiver is like 15 lbs compared to 30 lb of decade old Onkyo 707 it’s replacing. Amazing how much lighter it is.
I guess this is the Class D amps?
This was $400 for the $550 MSRP. So about 27% off.
1 year warranty for refurb vs 2 year for new.
No original box, no paper manual.
Arrived a week after ordering. Not available anywhere else (VE, BB, AMZ, CC)
Great buying value for me.
My 760 arrived this morning! The box is so light I had a little worried I'd been scammed and the box was empty. But there's a receiver in it. Guess I know what I'm doing today.
I’m looking forward to hooking it up. This will make my living room 4K capable, assuming eARC works from TV to AVR, and the Sony TV’s internal streaming apps are good enough to use.
If not, I’ll have to buy another AppleTV 4K to complete the setup there.

I’ve been looking for a Denon 760 for about two months, shortly after I saw the release announcement. And even now, they’re not available from BestBuy, Value Electronics, Amazon...
