Denon AVR-X2900H DAB 7.2 Ch. 95W 4K/8K Dolby Atmos AV Receiver Powered by HEOS - Black

Denon AVR-X2900H DAB 7.2 Channel 8K AV Receiver with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X & HEOS (Black)

The Denon AVR-X2900H DAB is a serious all-in-one home cinema and music hub, designed to bring cinematic surround sound, next-gen gaming performance, and whole-home music streaming together in one unit. With 95 watts per channel across 7 channels, it delivers the power and flexibility needed for immersive Dolby Atmos setups, modern 8K video, and multiroom audio through HEOS.

This isn’t just an AV receiver for TV audio — it’s the central brain for your entire entertainment system.

True 3D Surround Sound with Dolby Atmos & DTS:X

The AVR-X2900H DAB supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, enabling fully immersive 3D audio that moves above and around you.

With support for configurations like 5.2.2, you can add height speakers or up-firing modules to unlock overhead sound effects. This means rain, aircraft, explosions and ambient detail don’t just come from around you — they come from above as well.

For more traditional setups, Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X are included to upmix standard content into a more spacious surround experience.

Strong, Controlled Power for Real-World Systems

With 95W per channel into 7 channels, the AVR-X2900H DAB is designed to drive real home cinema speaker systems with authority.

You get:

• Clear dialogue even at lower volumes
• Tight, controlled dynamics for action scenes
• Enough headroom for larger living rooms
• Support for complex 7-channel surround layouts

It also features dual subwoofer outputs with directional subwoofer control, helping you fine-tune bass response or distribute low frequencies more evenly across your room.

8K HDMI 2.1 Connectivity for Future-Proof Home Cinema

This receiver is built for modern video standards, featuring HDMI 2.1 with support for:

• 8K pass-through
• 4K at 120Hz refresh rates
• HDR10+ and Dolby Vision compatibility
• eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel)

HDR formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision ensure brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and more accurate colour from streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video.

Next-Level Gaming Performance

Designed with gamers in mind, the AVR-X2900H DAB supports features that reduce lag and improve responsiveness:

• VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) for smoother gameplay
• ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) for instant response
• QFT (Quick Frame Transport) to reduce delay
• 4K/120Hz support for high-frame-rate gaming

This makes it an ideal centrepiece for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and high-end PC setups connected to your TV or projector.

HEOS Multiroom Streaming Built In

With built-in HEOS, the AVR-X2900H DAB becomes part of a whole-home music ecosystem.

Using the HEOS app, you can:

• Stream music from Spotify, TIDAL, Amazon Music and more
• Group rooms together for synced playback
• Play different music in different rooms
• Control volume and sources from your phone

It supports up to 64 zones, making it scalable from a single living room setup to a full home audio system.

Flexible Streaming & Ecosystem Support

Beyond HEOS, the receiver integrates easily into different ecosystems:

• AirPlay 2 for Apple devices
• Bluetooth for quick pairing
• Roon Ready for high-resolution multi-device systems

This means you’re not locked into one platform — you can stream in whatever way suits your setup.

Advanced Room Calibration Options

Getting great sound depends on your room as much as your speakers.

The AVR-X2900H DAB includes:

• Audyssey MultEQ XT automatic calibration using included microphone
• Optional Dirac Live upgrade (paid extra) for more advanced precision tuning

Audyssey handles everyday optimisation, balancing speaker levels and frequencies. Dirac Live takes it further with deeper control over room reflections and timing — ideal for more demanding setups.

Bass Control & Subwoofer Management

Low-end performance is carefully engineered with:

• Dual subwoofer outputs
• Directional subwoofer mode for better integration
• Smoother bass distribution across larger rooms

This helps avoid “boomy” corners or uneven bass, especially in open-plan spaces.

Full Connectivity for Every Source

The AVR-X2900H DAB is designed to be the hub of your system, with:

• 6 HDMI inputs (3 x 8K, 3 x 4K)
• Dedicated MM phono input for turntables
• Optical and coaxial digital inputs
• Multiple analogue inputs for legacy hi-fi gear
• Built-in DAB/DAB+ tuner for digital radio

Whether it’s vinyl, streaming, gaming, or Blu-ray, everything connects in one place.

Everyday Features That Improve Usability

Small but important design touches make daily use easier:

• Angled front-panel controls for better visibility
• Four Quick Select buttons to instantly recall saved sound profiles (TV, gaming, music, movie)
• Simple on-screen setup assistant for first-time installation

Final Word
