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.

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 amplifier's built-in amplification to drive non-critical channels to get a clearer signal path for the channels driven by external amplification.

Award-winning guide Denon Setup Assistant provides simple, clear instructions to get started. Just connect your AV amplifier 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 amplifier renames HDMI inputs automatically when connected or you can rename them manually at your convenience.

Denon AV amplifiers use the Audyssey suite of EQ software for simple, accurate set-up and calibration.

This AV amplifier supports Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room correction technology. The other supported Audyssey features are Dynamic EQ, and Dynamic Volume.

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 customise 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 MultEQ XT32 to take total control of the way your home cinema sounds.
