95W Per Channel — The 70% Power Guarantee
With 95 watts per channel (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD), the AVR-X2900H DAB drives speakers with control and confidence at any volume. Dialogue stays clear, effects retain impact, and quieter moments remain nuanced. Denon's 70% Power Guarantee means the receiver delivers over 70% of rated output to up to five channels simultaneously — critical to preserving balance and dynamics as your system grows beyond stereo.
Dolby Atmos & DTS:X — Immersive 3D Audio
Full decoding of Dolby Atmos and DTS:X places sound exactly where it would naturally occur in space, surrounding you from every direction. Support for 7.2 surround and 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos configurations gives flexibility for both today's setup and future expansion. DTS Neural:X and Dolby Atmos Height Virtualisation upmix legacy content for heightened realism even without height speakers.
Audyssey Room Correction — Optional Dirac Live Upgrade
Audyssey MultEQ XT with Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume automatically measures and optimises speaker levels, timing and frequency response for your specific room using the included calibration microphone. For those seeking even greater control, an optional Dirac Live Room Correction upgrade is available.
4K/8K Video & High-Performance Gaming
Six HDMI inputs (3×8K-capable) and two outputs (1×eARC) handle all modern sources. 8K pass-through and 4K upscaling to 8K are supported, with Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG and Dynamic HDR. For gaming: 4K/120Hz, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync keep fast-paced action smooth, fluid and immersive.
HEOS — Whole-Home Streaming
HEOS built-in turns the AVR-X2900H DAB into the first zone in a flexible multi-room system. Stream music, TV audio, podcasts and more to any HEOS-compatible speaker throughout the home — play the same song everywhere or different music in each room. Control everything from the HEOS app. Spotify Connect, TuneIn and DAB/DAB+ radio are all built in.
Flexible Connectivity
A built-in MM phono stage enables direct turntable connection without a separate preamplifier. Two subwoofer outputs, 2.2 multichannel pre-outs, multi-zone capability (Zone 2), optical and coaxial digital inputs, and an eARC HDMI output for TV audio integration round out a thoroughly equipped input/output complement.
