No its dotdot for atmos. The ear level channels and height channels are interchangable, but the subwooofer ones are not. So 7.2 is seven channels (either ear level or height) and 2 subwoofer channels (really its just 1 split..but its marketing to call it .2). So this receiver can do 5.2.2 or 7.2.0. it cannot support 5.1.4 or 7.1.4 (5.1.4 would require a 9.1 receiver, and 7.1.4 would be an 11.1 channel receiver...those exist..but not in this price range).
That's not how it works. People act like they're suddenly entitled to some to something when they pay the tiny annual fee (are you really of the mindset that the pitiful $60 actually covers the loss here?). Do you also act like you can intentionally wreck your cars because you pay for insurance?
If his device had broken 5 months ago and he returned it, that's one thing. But, to go and return it because there's suddenly a different device? "Come on, man." It's literally the reason why they changed the unlimited return policy to 90 days for electronics, because people were grossly taking advantage of it.
If you don't need one right now, I would just wait. There haven't been many new releases this year. Yamaha has had 3 new models with premium price points and this is just the 2nd for Denon in 2021. The other one is top tier. So in a sense the 760H is the first, refreshed budget receiver this year which caught everyone by surprise. There is anticipation for newer models from the leading brands which could mean price drop on outgoing models. It makes sense to wait in your situation.
Notta. They are fully aware. Costco and Sam's are intentionally very liberal in taking returns. You can't BUY the type of advertising they get day in and day out from people raving about their return policy. Im a man of many many hobbies. In all those groups forums reddits people buy from these clubs for the crazy liberal return policy and avoid direct from manufacturer. Brings in tons of customers this way. I can't get Costco parking lot without dropping $300. Costco loses over 100 million each year just on rotisserie chicken. They also subsidize gas. Half this entire thread is advertising their return policy. It is freaking genius! Costco is raking in cash and even able to pay all their employees a living wage.
I disagree that it is "abuse". Their policy is satisfaction guaranteed.
You make some good points but I can't help but recall REI and L.L. Bean once having similarly generous return policies which have since been rescinded for the same reason. I would say enjoy it while it lasts
Debating whether I should pick up one of these now or wait for a sale. Once word gets out to all the OLED/PS5/XBX users that there is a HDMI 2.1 capable receiver that actually works and is reasonably priced this thing might be as hard to get as the consoles. Then again maybe I am overestimating the demand for receivers. Hmmnn decisions...decisions.
This is my thoughts. Once the general public finds out these units do really do 4K/120 with VRR it will become difficult to secure assuming there is not restocks happening.
I just picked up a unit yesterday in Miami. The palette was full here too. I am replacing a ten year old flagship 4311ci. I am predominantly using it for eARC as my 2 2.1 Sources (AppleTV4K and Xbox Series X/PS5) are direct attached to the LG CX OLED and running audio back down to the 4311 via ARC, which is garbage since you lose the lossless formats. Hope it gets the job done!
Depending on your use you may be a little let down coming from a 4311
I am thinking a X4700 or X6700 may have been a closer match to what you were accustomed to with the add of the additional technology
I have a question about the volume. I have the S750H. I have to crank up the volume to a level between 50-60 to be able to enjoy the movies.
My hearing is fine, but I feel my previous receivers didn't have to work this hard. FYI, all my previous Denon receivers use decibels.
Is this normal?
Don't worry about the #. A 50 on one receiver is totally different from a 50 on another receiver.

Isn't the TSR-700 return limited to 90 days? I got mine in 2020.
Nope, lifetime return policy. the 90 day electronic policy is very specific on which electronics are included, receivers are not on that list. you can return the tsr-700.
75 watts is a bit anemic. Make sure you aren't running demanding towers, or low impedance speakers in a large room. Settings the crossover at 80-100Hz to the subwoofer will help.
Probably missed it. For those of us bought the TSR-700 for the hdmi 2.1 support for the 120HZ 4K, is there any fix near term yet? I gave up keeping up months ago.
The "fix" is still coming in "fall" according to Yamaha. The fix being a motherboard swap. However they have also confirmed that even after the motherboard swap it will only operate at 24gbps. So the tsr-700 will never have fully working hdmi 2.1 and you'll need to downsample the video quality to get a picture on the tv.
How does Atmos work on AV Receivers? This has 7 speaker outputs and 2 sub outputs, so does that mean it can do 7.2 surround or 5.2.2 Atmos surround max? The Klipsch 5.1.4 speakers listed at Costco would not work well then since there's nowhere to output the rear height speakers, correct? But man, I was looking at getting a soundbar, but a fully featured receiver like this is making me reconsider.
I was only able to do 5.2.2, since I had to use the side surround inputs for the Dolby Atmos speakers. This is my first experience using Dolby Atmos. This is with the 750H I purchased about a month ago. I can also notice a huge difference in db and quality using my XBox Series X Apps as the source over the eARC output from my TV/Apps.

Yeah this device does 7.2 or 5.2.2 cannot do 5.1.4. the 5.1.4 pack at Costco is kinda baffling as its clearly designed to be budget minded.. but since you need a 9.1 receiver to drive them fully and there arent really any budget minded 9.1 receivers...its kinda weird to think youd want to buy a $1000+ receiver and then drive super budget speakers. the 5.2.2 is the sweet spot as you can get the budget klipsch and a cheap 7.2 receiver for less than high end sound bars go for, so its a nice step up from the soundbar world.

If I understand correctly, 7.2 only has two channels for sounds above and 9.2 has 4. Don't most people want sounds from above to move left to right and front to back? Having only 2 channels from above seems undesirable and unrealistic, no? Fry's used to have killer deals on Denon 9.2 receivers. So bummed they shut down…
In terms of Atmos, 7.2 is 7.1.2? I hope this lower-end receiver support 5.1.4 or better 7.1.4

I used to own a 4311 years ago...then sold it for a 4520...then sold that for an X7200, which I still have
