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 premium suites of room correction technology – Denon AV amplifiers use the Audyssey suite of EQ software for simple, accurate set-up and calibration. With the supplied Audyssey measuring microphone, Audyssey measures all the speakers in your home theatre, and tunes the AV amplifier to provide the smoothest, most optimal overall listening experience for your room. This AV amplifier supports Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction technology. The other supported Audyssey features are Dynamic EQ, and Dynamic Volume.
• Audyssey MultEQ Editor app – You can go even further with the Audyssey Multi EQ 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. With this comprehensive app, you can harness the power of Audyssey Multi EQ XT32 to take total control of the way your home cinema sounds. The app is available for purchase in iOS and Google Play stores.
• 11-channel processing, 9- channel amplification – 9-channel amplification does not mean you need to stop at max 11 channel speaker configuration. With external 2-channel amplification that can be assigned to either Front, Left, and Right, or a pair of height channels, you can setup an 11-channel speaker configuration such as 7.1.4, allowing you even more flexibility and an engulfing audio experience.
• Subwoofer outputs & settings – Blanket yourself in evenly distributed, accurate bass. Featuring up to four subwoofer outputs to smooth out low frequencies and provide better dispersion. No audible peaks or dips — just powerful, room filling bass. Tweak your subwoofer settings to your preference when more than two subwoofers are connected. Select “Standard” if you want evenly distributed bass performance. Select “Directional” if you want more directional bass performance seamlessly integrated into the speaker channel closest to each subwoofer in the room.
• Pre-Amplifier Mode – Your Denon AV amplifier can work as a perfect AV preamplifier with the latest HDMI connectivity. Pre-Amplifier Mode provides a cleaner signal path and more tolerance in clipping level by disconnecting internal amplifiers. Add the flexibility to disconnect select speaker channels so that you can use the AV receiver’s built-in amplification to drive non-critical channels to get a clearer signal path for the channels driven by external amplification.
• Dirac Live upgradeability – The interaction between your sound system and the physical layout of your room has a huge impact on sound quality. Dirac Live® Room Correction applies state-of-the-art, patented algorithms to analyze and digitally reduce room impact and enhance speaker performance. Select Denon AV receivers support Dirac Live Upgradability. You can purchase a Dirac Live license key to unlock the functionality. Visit dirac.com/denon/ for more information. Upgradability will be supported via a future firmware update.
