Why choose a Denon AVR?

Bring out the best in your entertainment

Immersive sound, above and around you

Feel like you’re inside every moment with immersive 3D audio from Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Set up a full 5.2.2 system for true overhead effects, or enjoy virtual overhead immersion from Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization and DTS Virtual:X—even without height speakers. Legacy content also gets a major upgrade with Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X upmixing.

Bring big screen energy with advanced HDMI

Enjoy stunning clarity and dynamic color with 4K/120Hz and 8K/60Hz video support on three HDMI inputs and one output. With pass-through for HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG, and Dynamic HDR, every frame is optimized for deeper contrast and lifelike brightness. Denon’s advanced upscaling enhances legacy content, bringing new depth and dimension to everything you watch.

High-resolution audio, delivered

Experience your music in stunning clarity and detail, thanks to support for high-resolution formats including ALAC, FLAC, and WAV (up to 192kHz/24-bit), plus DSD 2.8/5.6MHz playback. Stream from your favorite services, or play files from USB and networked drives. Even compressed formats like MP3 and WMA sound better on a Denon.

Enjoy ultra-smooth visuals, lag-free response, and immersive sound that puts you in the middle of the action.

Maximize your streaming experience

One receiver, two rooms of entertainment

Enjoy surround sound in your main space while streaming music or a separate source to another room—like a den, kitchen, or patio. Or, play the same audio in both zones and fill your home with game-day energy or your favorite playlist. With two-source, two-zone audio, your AVR does it all.
