Upon setting up this AVR for the first time the main thing that struck me was how WIMPY the phono stage output was. I say "was" because I discovered how to fix that annoying problem.
BEHOLD!
1) Select your input. In this case "Phono".
2) Now select "Setup".
3) Now select "Inputs".
4) Now select "Source Level".
5) Adjust level via remote for up to 12db of gain.
Exit. Repeat if you wish another input selection to have its level increased or decreased. Each input MUST be selected on the remote and shown on the receiver display prior to making the other selections I have outlined above. It is individual for each input. I raised my Phono all the way and now it works a whole LOT better!
I bought this because SiriusXM in their ignorant "wisdom" have chosen not to support the Pioneer Elite SX-N30 I have owned for several years now and I was looking at the Denon DRA-800H but it was a bit overpriced for what you get and so for $200 less...I bought the Denon AVR-S660H.
Outside of less power, it does have 5 channels of said power vs the 800H having 2. Otherwise, they seem equally matched feature-wise. I own a Denon AVR-X4300H and that is an excellent 9.2 system that I primarily use for movies and music. This 660 is currently running at 2.1 channels and I will be installing a very nice Klipsch center channel speaker soon.
But...Back to what I think of the 660. I think, not feeeeeeeeel that it is an excellent value and a fine performer. Once I found out how to fix the terrible phono output (with no help from "AHEM!" anyone else, I can now heartily recommend this device to any and all that want primarily stereo for music and are fine with up to 5.2 channels for film.
It doesn't disappoint believe me. It DELIVERS. I have been running it for several days now, 24 hours a day, non-stop with vinyl, with CD and with the wonder that is HEOS providing me with Pandora, Amazon UHD and SiriusXM along with my favorite internet station out of the Netherlands, "The Great American Songbook" station and this receiver works superbly!
My JBL 4-Way towers have a sensitivity rating of 91db and the work just fine with this new Denon! In truth, my only disappontment was with the phono section and now that that has been rectified, I have zero complaints and can 100% recommend the AVR-S660H.
I forwarded my findings on the phono stage to Denon and they are looking at (hopefully) updating the manual that comes with the unit to include my solution to the problem.
Now then. The BEST part of this Denon is HEOS. I have 10 HEOS speakers throughout our home and via the 660H or my 4300H, I can send internet radio, Amazon UHD, Pandora, SiriusXM my CD collection and even my VINYL throughout my entire home via WiFi!
It just flat works and I have tried Bose, Sonos and Bluesound but for my hard earned money, HEOS is the best there is bar none! The app for Android and iOS work on superbly on our phones. They also work on our iPads. And our Amazon Fire Tablet 10.
They just flat out WORK. They are transparent and neither add to nor take away from your music. They are there to provide access and control of your music and the do so with ease.
Highly recommended? Yup! HEOS is ex cellent. Home Entertainment Operating System...HEOS. I can play my over 500 CDs via one of my 300 and 200 disc Sony CD changers via HEOS to any room in our home that has a HEOS wireless speaker in it. And I do.
I can play my records in any room over WiFi via HEOS. Any station on Pandora, Amazon UHD, SiriusXM whatever station I choose from the literally thousands available on the internet. HEOS does that and does it easily.
I recommend Denon, Marantz and HEOS without hesitation or reservation. When it comes time to send my brother and his wonderful wife a Christmas present, you can bet it will have HEOS in it and be from Denon or Marantz. I trust those two brands completely. And speaking of "trust"...
...Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

This was bought for my daughter and her husband. I gave them a Samsung TV a year or so ago (from Best Buy) and now it was time to upgrade from the tinny tiny speakers.
Stock audio was insufficient enough that my wife, who watch her grandchildre there) complained about it.
No more complaints! None! They are all very pleased and that is exactly what a gift should do. Make someone happy! It was soooo easy to install that they really didn't need me but I am happy to help out!
Highly recommended? Without hesitation!

I lost my iPhone SE when my OtterBox belt clip snapped and the iPhone went tumbling down the road. I had the insurance but alas, Apple and Best Buy said if I could not produce busted pieces then I was out of luck.
So then, what to do. I returned to Android. I had a Motorola Z3 Play that worked fine with the exception of the only feature outside of it being a phone that mattered to me. It stunk on Android Auto.
I asked about Motorola cell phones and Android Auto and no one could or perhaps would, answer me openly. So I bought this phone. I am thrilled it has a headphone jack! I am happy it also has 256 gig of built in memory and a MicroSD slot! But more than anything else, once I discovered a particular setting for Android Auto, it seems to actually work with Android Auto!
I simply went into AA settings and once I had joined my two vehicles and turned off the setting to seek out and join more new vehicles. And...It works nearly without flaws!
Not quite as good as fApple Carplay but it also does things Carplay does not. If the AC is on and a call comes in and I answer, the fan speed is turned down automatically. It plays Amazon Music Ultra HD, Pandora Premium (Family Plan!) and SiriusXM superbly!
It can still become "confused" but that has only happed twice since I discovered the magical setting in AA. The phone works just fine as a phone and the batter will last at least two days, so I've got that goin' for me...Which is nice.
I do have a bit of difficulty with the whole "swipe right/left" thing but that is likely my fault and not that of the phone. I have yet to use the included stylus but it's there if I want or need to. There is not a ton of (UGH!) bloatware and I have begun to delete stuff I find annoyingly useless/vapid. I have downloaded an Onkyo Music Player app and put a 128 gig MicroSD in the phone to put a few thousand songs on that I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally like!
Calls are excellent. I speak with my mother and sister every day on my way home from work and the phone is a pleasure to use in that capacity. And when I am done speaking with my family I turn the music back on to ease my sluggish drive through SoCal traffic! This is an excellent phone and not just for the money. As I said, it has a headphone jack and a stylus and a MicroSD slot! How many "high"/"rear" end phones on either side of the Android/fApple fence can boast that?!
I am so very please with this purchase and if that were to change I would change my review but so far, I am as I said, very PLEASED!
And I think, not feeeeeeeeeeeeel, you will be too. The phone is superb and does all that I want a phone to do. Work as a phone and as a music playback device in my car or truck. Highly recommended?
Yuppers!

So far, soooooo good! I rid myself of a fApple Watch because my iPhone went bouncing down the roadway and into a bazillion pieces none of which I could recover so that my warranty could be honored at Best Buy. My watch was pretty much made useless without the iPhone. Dumb. Really dumb. And I bought the warranty but could not safely get any of the parts as I was on a motorcycle and the road was BUSY!
So I bought this to go with an Android phone. UGH...Android is nothing special, but the watch is.
It has a tactile feeling of pure quality and seems to work well. My main complaint is that I cannot turn off the Blootoof so I CANNOT WEAR IT AT WORK! I filled out the survey by Withings and hopefully they will update it so I can turn it off when I am at work
If not, I have another month + to take this otherwise fine timepiece back and get something else that I can turn the Blootoof OFF on.
Recommended with the caveat that you CAN'T TURN OFF THE BLOOTOOF!!!!
I am not frustrated. I'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal frustrated. Trust me. I know what I'm doin' when I'm reviewin'.

I bought this for my brother and his wonderful wife. I have both BobSweep and iRobot vacuums and they do too. But...Here comes the big but, iRobot has quickly become the family favorite.
They just plain work. I often say I do not buy anything that I would consider junque and iRobot is as far from that as one could get in the world of robotzied vacuums. Highly recommended by myself and my brother and his wife!
I have NEVER been disappointed by this brand and again, I don't buy garbage for those I love.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier will deliver up to 150 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. Highly efficient Class D technology keeps this powerful amp running as cool as it looks, and allows for a compact chassis that fits in a lot of out of the way spaces. The frequency response of this amplifier stretches up to 50,000 Hz, for Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. Pioneer uses high-grade electronic parts and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. Speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system with no RCA connections. The amplifier switches its input mode automatically when it detects the high-level signal, eliminating the need to run a turn-on lead to your receiver or fuse box. Built-in high- and low-pass filters let you adjust the sound for your vehicle's interior, whether you're driving speakers or subs.
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display ~ the brightest iPhone display yet.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
 

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

The 700mW high-power design provides ultimate range, while the dual core processor enables maximum WiFi performance. It compatible with any standard WiFi router and is ideal for very large homes and frustration free HD video streaming and gaming.
 

I have everything hooked up, the green light is on the Netgear device. However, when I now go to my laptop to connect the wifi, it doesn't except the password that I use for my original wifi (Belkin) router. So, what am I to enter as the password?

If you have a 2.5 and 5 gig system make certain both indicator lights are green. No then, if you are using your original (Belkin) wireless router and haven't changed that password, it should still work. Check that router to see if you are using the right password (it's usually on the side or bottom of the router) as I have often forgotten it and had to go back and look to make certain I was entering it correctly. Another thing you can do if whatever you are trying to connect is close to the new Netgear device is to simply hardwire it via a short Cat5 or Cat6 cable via one of the ports on the Netgear to the network RJ45 input (provided said device has one) on the device you want to join your network. That's just one reason I bought this Netgear extender, because not all my stuff is wireless and this extended allows me to run a Cat5/6 right to such devices. . I did this with one of my devices and it works great! All the best!

 Bose - SoundWear Companion Sweat and Water Resistant Cover - Blue
Bose - SoundWear Companion Sweat and Water Resistant Cover - Blue
Don't worry about a little rain, dust or a lot of sun. Both the Bose SoundWear Companion wearable speaker and the high-quality speaker cover are sweat- and weather-resistant, so moisture won't sneak through and dust won't stick to it. And the cover is four-way stretchable, so it fits the speaker snugly.
 

How long does the charge last.

For me and my brother, sister-in-law and my son, about 10 to 12 hours. So far. Sweet!

Does it support aptx-LL??? What version of Bluetooth is used? I can't find that info anywhere...

I don't believe so but if you believe you can tell the difference in the various variations of Bluetoof then you've got better ears than me! In all honesty, I think, not feel, these 'phones do an excellent job of reproducing music. I listen to a lot of music and these do not wear me out like some 'phones are prone to do. If that variant of Bluetoof is important to you, double check with Bose my friend! Good luck and all the best!

Hello, has anyone used them in the gym? Please opinions.

Yup. I just tuck 'em under my t-shirt and keep the volume low. So far, so great. Good luck!

I am very small. Will this Soundware companion be comfortable and can I lie down with it on to listen in bed?

I don't wear mine in bed but a friend and co-worker has done so and says he felt no discomfort. His neck is probably on the small side. Mine is around 19" or so but the Bose²® Soundwear Companion™ fits me well and is comfortable enough for me to wear for several hours. I just haven't fallen asleep with it on. Yet. ;-)

Does this speaker use the battery life of your phone at all or just the battery within itself?

Nope. The self-contained battery within the speaker is for the speaker alone. At least mine is. Maybe I'm special... ;-)

K-cups contain artificial flavors and ingredients. Does this take anything other than K-cup pods such as ground coffee, leaves and bags?

Hi! I bought the adaptor (at my local Best Buy) that allows me to use loose leaf tea or ground coffee. It works just fine for me. I have also put standard tea bags in my cup and then just let the machine pour hot water in there. And yup. It works just fine too.

Hope this helps!
