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 True HD, DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby Atmos while ARC is limited to conventional 5.1ch audio formats or PCM.

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 favourite team on Sunday evening or listen to the same song in both rooms.

For additional convenience, the AV receiver renames HDMI inputs automatically when connected or you can rename manually at your convenience.

Audyssey Suites of Room Correction Technology: Denon AV receivers use the Audyssey suite of EQ software for simple, accurate setup and calibration.

Our Take On The Denon AVR-X2800H

The above are just some of the key features we think you will want to read about. You are probably wondering whether it is possible to have any more features in such a competitively priced model. For a start it has all the essentials including heavy-duty speaker wire binding posts which allow for either bare wire or banana plug access. With a compatible 8K TV, you'll also get stunning picture quality from native 8K.

Compatible speakers? The choice is yours. The maximum rated output is 95 Watts into 2 channels or stereo mode which is usually enough for a 7 metre x 5 metre room at average volume levels. But adding extra speakers WILL reduce this output capability and quite dramatically if inefficient speakers (under 91/92dB) are chosen. No problems with a 5.1 sub/sat system but choice is very important if you plan to use floor standing speakers as the mains plus a centre and rears. The subwoofer will also be critical as it will be in a larger room of if you like to crank up the volume even for just a minute or two once a year! If you're not sure, please call us to discuss various options.
