Key Technologies
Dolby Atmos®
Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Upgrade your home theater with a 5.1.2-speaker setup to unleash a fully immersive 3D audio experience from Dolby Atmos content. Dolby Surround upmixer engages all speakers to create 3D audio sensations from legacy content. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology creates the sensation of overhead
sound even without a 5.1.2 system. You can also enjoy Dolby Atmos music tracks available from Apple Music, Amazon HD,
and TIDAL and a compatible streaming device.
DTS:X
DTS:X immersive audio content places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating lifelike, multi- dimensional
audio. DTS Neural:X upmixer offers improved immersion and heightened realism for legacy content. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive audio without height channels, creating virtual height effects in a 7.1, 5.1, or 2.1 speaker setup.
HDMI Connectivity with ARC/eARC
Supports the latest technology on all HDMI inputs and output. ARC (Audio Return Channel) or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) makes playing TV audio through your AV receiver simple, with just a single HDMI connection.
eARC provides HD and 3D audio transmission such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio, and Dolby Atmos while ARC is limited to conventional 5.1ch audio formats or PCM.
8K/HDCP 2.3
Enjoy pristine 8K picture quality on your 8K TV or projector. Supports both 8K pass-through and 8K upscaling of 4K content. Supports HDCP 2.3, the latest copy protection standard, for peace of mind when streaming copy-protected content.
Brilliant color from HDR 10+
Supports HDR (High Dynamic Range), HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma), as well as Dynamic HDR and HDR10+ pass-through. HLG offers HDR technology over broadcast content. Both Dynamic HDR and HDR10+ use dynamic metadata to optimize shadows and highlights as screens change.
Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision is a stunning HDR imaging technology that brings extraordinary color, contrast, and brightness to the screen. Enjoy Dolby Vision content from a compatible source device and TV.
Next-generation gaming
Supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Quick Frame Transport (QFT), and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for smooth, lag free gaming experience when connected with the compatible gaming devices.
HEOS® Built-in
With HEOS Built-in, your AV receiver can stream music wirelessly across compatible HEOS components from a variety
of free and premium streaming services. Consumers can also enjoy their favorite music in any room of the home wirelessly. Play the same song in every room or select a different song for each connected room via a variety of streaming sources. Add Denon Home speakers to more rooms and control it all with the HEOS app.

or other connected drives over a network or from Amazon Music HD with subscription. Conventional MP3 and WMA files are

Bluetooth audio transmitter
Pair your favorite Bluetooth headphones with your AV receiver to continue listening to your favorite music, movies, or TV
programs at night. You can also play audio from both speakers and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. If you have a family member or a friend who is hearing impaired, we recommend this setup. You can connect one pair of headphones at a time.
Multi-source, multi-room
By connecting a pair of speakers in a second room to the AV receiver, it’s possible to enjoy 5.1-channel surround sound in
the main room and a separate source or music stream in the second room, such as den or patio. You can also play the same audio in both so that everyone in your home can enjoy and cheer your favorite team on Sunday evening or listen to the same song in both rooms. The AV receiver supports 2-source, 2-zone audio.
Denon Setup Assistant
Award-winning guide Denon Setup Assistant supplies simple, clear instructions to get started. Just connect your AV receiver to your TV and follow the instructions on the TV screen to connect your speakers, perform speaker measurements, and connect source devices. For additional convenience, the AV receiver renames HDMI inputs automatically when connected or you can rename manually at your convenience.
Audyssey suite of room correction technology
Denon AV receivers use the Audyssey suite of EQ software for simple, accurate setup and calibration. With the supplied
Audyssey measuring microphone, Audyssey measures all the speakers in your home theater, and tunes the AV receiver
to provide the smoothest, most optimal overall listening experience for your room. This AV receiver supports Audyssey
MultEQ room-correction technology. The other supported Audyssey features are Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume.
Audyssey MultEQ XT
You can go even further with the Audyssey MultEQ Editor app, going “under the hood” to view and adjust settings for detailed tuning—allowing you to customize the sound more precisely to the specific problems in your room and tailor the sound to your personal preferences.
