Denon AVR-X2900H 7.2-Channel 8K AV Receiver
The Denon AVR-X2900H is a 7.2-channel AV receiver designed for immersive home theatre, high-quality music playback and modern entertainment systems. With seven discrete power amplifier channels delivering 95 watts per channel, the AVR-X2900H provides a capable foundation for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X surround sound systems.
The Class AB amplification section delivers 95W per channel at 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20kHz with 0.08% THD under 2-channel driven conditions. It can also deliver 125W per channel at 6 ohms, 1kHz and 0.7% THD. Speaker impedance compatibility ranges from 4 to 16 ohms, allowing the receiver to work with a broad selection of home theatre speakers.
For immersive cinema sound, the AVR-X2900H supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, while DTS Virtual:X provides an immersive virtualized surround experience with compatible speaker configurations. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio provide support for high-quality lossless movie soundtracks.
The receiver includes Audyssey MultEQ XT room calibration to measure and optimize the audio system for the listening environment. It is also Dirac Live upgrade-ready, providing an optional path toward advanced room correction.
Two independent subwoofer outputs provide flexibility for 7.2-channel systems and multi-subwoofer bass management. The AVR-X2900H also supports assignable speaker configurations, including bi-amp operation and multi-zone speaker assignment.
High-resolution music playback is supported through ALAC, FLAC, WAV and AIFF files up to 24-bit/192kHz. HEOS Built-in provides network music streaming and multi-room functionality, while Apple AirPlay 2, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth provide additional wireless listening options.
For modern video sources, the AVR-X2900H features six HDMI inputs, including three 8K-capable inputs, and two HDMI outputs with one supporting eARC. Compatible HDMI connections support 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through, while HDCP 2.3 provides compatibility with protected content.
HDR compatibility includes HDR10+, HDR10, Dolby Vision, Dynamic HDR and HLG. Gaming features such as Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), Quick Media Switching (QMS), Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and AMD FreeSync support compatible gaming systems and displays.
With its combination of 7-channel Class AB amplification, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support, 8K video connectivity, Audyssey room correction, HEOS streaming and multi-zone capability, the AVR-X2900H is well suited to home cinemas, media rooms, gaming setups and custom AV installations.
