Dolby Atmos
You can enjoy every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Upgrade your home theater with a 5.1.2 speaker setup to enjoy fully immersive 3D sound from Dolby Atmos content. Dolby Surround up-mixer engages all speakers and creates 3D sound sensations from older content. Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization technology creates a feeling of upper sound even without a 5.1.2 system. You can also enjoy Dolby Atmos music tracks available from Apple Music, Amazon HD, TIDAL or a compatible streaming device.
DTS:X
DTS:X immersive audio content places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating realistic, multi-dimensional sound. DTS Neural:X up-mixer offers better immersion and higher realism for older content. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive sound without treble channels and creates virtual treble effects in a 7.1, 5.1 or 2.1 speaker setup.
HDMI connectivity with ARC/eARC
It supports the latest technology on all HDMI inputs and outputs. ARC (Audio Return Channel) or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) makes it easy to play TV audio through an AV receiver using just a single HDMI connection. eARC allows the transmission of HD and 3D audio, such as Dolby TrueHD, DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby Atmos, while ARC is limited to common 5.1-channel audio formats or PCM.
8K / HDCP 2.3
Enjoy perfect 8K image quality on your 8K TV or projector. It supports both 8K passthrough 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 colors with HDR 10+

Dolby Vision
Compatible with Dolby Vision, so you can enjoy Dolby Vision content from a compatible source device and TV. Dolby Vision is a stunning HDR picture technology that brings extraordinary color, contrast and brightness to your screen.
Next generation gaming

Built-in HEOS system
With built-in HEOS® service, your AV receiver can wirelessly stream music from a variety of free and premium streaming services via compatible HEOS components. Consumers can also enjoy their favorite music wirelessly in any room in the home. Play the same song in every room or choose a different song for each connected room through different streaming sources. Add Denon Home speakers to multiple rooms and control everything with the HEOS app.

With AirPlay 2, you can wirelessly stream Apple Music to an AV receiver or group with other AirPlay-compatible speakers to fill your home with music.
Works with Amazon Alexa
Control the AV receiver hands-free with Amazon Alexa and your voice. Adjust the volume, skip to the next track, switch inputs for different media players and more – just ask. Download the free HEOS Home Entertainment Skill to enable Amazon Alexa voice commands. Requires the Alexa app and an Amazon Echo, Dot or equivalent device. Feature availability varies by region.

Bluetooth audio transmitter
Pair your favorite Bluetooth headphones with the AV receiver and listen to your favorite music, movies or TV programs even at night. You can also play audio from both speakers and Bluetooth headphones at the same time. If you have a hearing impaired family member or friend, we recommend this setting. You can connect one headset at a time.
More resources, more rooms
This AV receiver supports dual-source dual-zone audio. By connecting a pair of speakers in the second room to the AV receiver, it is possible to enjoy 5.1-channel surround sound in the main room and a separate source or music stream in the second room, for example in the study or on the terrace. The same sound can also be played in both rooms, so everyone in your household can enjoy and cheer on your favorite team on Sunday night or listen to the same song in both rooms.
