I have heard both pronunciations about 50/50 but I don't know which one is correct.
Also, while we are at it, Nikeee or Nike?

I used to say Deenon but after hearing some folks say Dehnon I say it that way now. Maybe I'll change back ...
I know that, on the industrial level, the difference between "caulk" and "cock" is enormous.
Unless you're in NYC. Then it's cawk ;-)
Stupid trademark names are not the names of people although the trade-markers might like us to think otherwise.
Who cares how these trademark names are pronounced? I don't.

You really neeed a Japanese speaker for this as Denon is a contraction of Denki Onkyo. I believe it is Dehnon and have never heard it pronounced Deenon even though I am southern English and we tend to use long vowel sounds e.g. barth not bath, glarss not glass. However things may be different in the US of course.
Nike is Nikee (long "i" sound so not Nickee), it being the name of the Greek god of victory.
I believe the English pronunciation is Dehnon; the Japanese pronunciation would be different.
