Bluetooth Audio Transmitter
Pair your favourite Bluetooth headphones with your AV receiver to continue listening to your favourite music, movies, or TV programs at night. You can also play audio from both speakers and Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. If you have a family member or a friend who is hearing impaired, we recommend this setup. 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. The AV receiver supports 2-source, 2- zone audio.
Denon Setup Assistant
Award-winning guide Denon Setup Assistant supplies simple, clear instructions to get started. 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 Suite of Room Correction Technology
Denon AV receivers use the Audyssey suite of EQ software for simple, accurate setup and calibration. With the supplied Audyssey measuring microphone, Audyssey measures all the speakers in your home theatre, and tunes the AV receiver to provide the smoothest, most optimal overall listening experience for your room. This AV receiver supports Audyssey MultEQ XT 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 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 to take total control of the way your home cinema sounds. The app is available for purchase in iOS and Google Play stores.
Denon AVR Remote App
This iOS or Android control app allows you to control your AV receiver, such as changing inputs, sound modes, volume, store and retrieve Quick Selects, show AV receiver (AVR) status, input and output signal information, change optional settings, and so on. Once HEOS music is selected, the AVR remote app automatically switches to the HEOS app for seamless operation between two apps.
