5 Reasons to Upgrade your AV Receiver

1. Be at the center of every scene and song with 3D audio

Immersive audio formats like Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and Auro 3D bring a thrilling new height element to three-dimensional audio, with sound that’s spacious, enveloping, and shockingly lifelike. Whether it’s the overhead roar of a jet, the eerie echoes of an alien world, or a soprano’s subtle breath, sounds come alive from all directions.

As Dolby Atmos has evolved, the amount of available content has exploded. From the latest streaming series and must-see films to music that surrounds you like a live concert to immersive games that place you right in the thick of the action, Atmos content immerses you in a way that must be heard to be believed.

Denon AVRs set the stage for these immersive audio experiences that place you right in the heart of the action. You won’t just listen to sound—you’ll be inside it, enveloped by a soundscape that brings movies, music, and games to life with extraordinary clarity and depth. With models supporting up to 15.4 channels, you can build the 3D sound system of your dreams. 

2. Unlock the full potential of your 8K TV

Today’s 8K televisions rival the cinema experience, delivering vibrant, ultra-high-definition visuals on wall-filling screens. When you upgrade to a Denon AVR, you’ll be confident that your audio-visual setup keeps pace, handling 8K with precision and upscaling 4K content. You’ll immerse yourself in a viewing experience that brings the grandeur and thrills of the movie theater right into your living room.

With support for Dynamic HDR and technologies like Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced, every scene is rendered in exceptional color, clarity, and contrast. Support for 120Hz refresh rates, available in select models, means lower lag times and butter-smooth motion for more responsive gameplay that keeps up with the capabilities of the latest consoles. Get ready to crush those lightning-paced action games where quick reflexes are critical.

Whether you’re deep into your favorite movies, getting lost in immersive gameplay, or binge-watching your favorite shows, Denon AVRs ensure that every visual detail, from the subtlest shadow to the brightest highlight, is perfectly presented. Sports fan? Experience the bone-jarring intensity of every play as if you were right there in the stadium—all from the comfort of your couch.

3. Tailor your sound to your space with room correction

Every room sounds unique, thanks to its size and shape, furniture and treatments, and even the people in the room. Luckily, with Denon AVRs, you don’t have to be an expert in acoustics—or even call one—to perfectly tune your sound system to your space.

The magic lies in Audyssey room-calibration technology, which is built into many Denon AVRs. Optimizing your sound is as simple as plugging in the supplied microphone. Audyssey listens to your room’s acoustics and adapts sound to match your space, conquering funky room issues so everything from movie nights to music sessions sounds exactly as intended.

For the ultimate in audio perfection, upgrade to Dirac Live (available in select models), which performs more advanced time and frequency correction. The result is a bespoke soundstage that is meticulously tuned to your listening space, for unparalleled clarity and realism. It’s like bringing a concert hall into your home. The best part? Step-by-step guidance makes setup quick and painless.

4. HEOS: Seamless sound throughout your home
