      On feb 15, 2024 I started to request an RMA for a reciever that was under warrenty. I called customer service and went though extensive trouble shooting for the system with a tech which resulted in the tech telling me the reciever needed to be returned for repair. Since that time I have called and emailed Denon to check the status of my RMA. I have been passed through numerous representatives and they all say they will check on the status and than I recieve no further communication until my next call/email. Supposedly it was elevated to a supervisor but I haven't recieved any further info for my RMA request. I think it is unreasonable to wait 4 weeks+ to be able to return a reciever for a covered warrenty repair. I found that there are other complaints against Denon for the very same thing. IF I would have known this was normal I don't think I would have bought the system from Denon.

      I purchased a CEOL N10 on 11/20/22 and a pair of series 150 wireless speakers on 12/2/22. This was done after reading customer reviews on **********************'s site. I have had constant problems since the purchase(s) with connectivity, the **** app, and inconsistent performance of the remote and controls on the N10. Had I known how poorly the app and system would operate I would have returned the unit within the 60 day window. Had I known that Denon removes poor reviews from their site (like they did with my two reviews tonight) I would not have trusted the comments I read. At first, the support technicians that talked with me were able to walk me through the process to correct the connection problems, but those were painfully long trial-and-error efforts on their part. The technician that I spoke with today started to explain doing a power cycle on the N10, a process that I had done before, and told me that it could only be tested using wired speakers. In fact, he told me that the N10 is designed for wired speakers and not for wireless speakers. That statement is in direct conflict with the advice and recommendations that Denon makes on their own website where the advantages of pairing wireless speakers with the N10 is touted. The bottom line is that the equipment does not operate as advertised, tech support is spotty, and Denon appears to be covering up the problems with their system by removing infavorable reviews.

      Hi *******, 

      We're very sorry that you had a poor experience with our Support team. Troubleshooting network problems can be arduous and even sometimes painful given the variables and complexities of each individual's network environment. In the end, we're glad that the Support team was able to solve the issue and you now have working equipment to use for your enjoyment. 

      Regarding the marketing of the product on the website, you do not need passive speakers with the N10 if you are using our Denon Home models or other **** based speakers or products. You should be able to Group the 150s into the N10 using the **** App and then create a stereo pair of left and right for the 150 speakers. If you choose not to Group the 150s into the N10, then passive speakers connected to the N10 will be needed. 

      Regarding your reviews being taken down, I spoke with our ************ Manager and he explained that the service we use for online consumer reviews has the ability to Reject a review if they feel it's not relevant to the product. After seeing your reviews and this complaint, he agreed to reinstate the second review you posted and will have that put back up on the site. We do refrain from having multiple reviews from one reviewer on the website as that has the potential to monopolize the site's content. 

      I hope this response satisfies your concerns and answers any questions you had. 

      Best Regards, 

      Greg
