For many of us, our home theaterspull double duty as both music and movie systems.Denon's seven-channel, 8K-capable AVR-X2700H home receiver excels on both fronts. Let's take a closer look at what makes it so fun to use.
Denon's AVR-X2700H helps deliverexciting home theater soundfor movies and TV shows, video games, and music.
Last year's lineup of Denon home theater receivers wasquite popular with our customers. 2020 bringseven more features to the table, including 8K video upscaling, Bluetooth transmission to headphones (think late-night movies or TV streaming), and enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC), which lets you pass full-resolution surround sound signals from your TV to yourreceiver.
Denon has also added several gaming-optimized video processing technologies for a smooth, lag-free video game experience (a feature set I'm particularly eager to try out).
The AVR-X2700Hhasoutputs for seven speakers. Use them all in a 5.1.2Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X™ system, or go with a conventional 5.1-channelsetup andrepurpose the extra two channels for music in another zone.
