AL32 Processing technology
AL32 Processing, a Denon proprietary analog waveform reproduction technology, supports up to 192 kHz sampling frequency and 32bit expansion on your receiver. The technology thoroughly suppresses noise associated with D/A conversion to reproduce the low-level signals with optimum clarity that will bring out all the delicate
nuances of the music. AL32 Processing Multi- Channel means the technology is applied on all channels and all input sources.
Three-source, three zones
The receiver supports three-source, three-zones. You can drive three different zones with three different sources simultaneously, or all with the same source. Use the receiver's internal amplification configurable in the setup, or use zone two and zone three preouts
to connect with external amplifiers. One of the HDMI outputs can be used as a second A/V zone. Play your favorite playlists in your living room, kitchen and patio, or you can enjoy your favorite movies or the latest episodes from your favorite TV series with surround sound on your TV while the receiver plays HEOS music in other rooms.
13.4 channel processing, 11 channel amplification
With external two-channel amplification that can be assigned to either Front Left and Right, or a pair of height channels, you can setup a 13 channel speaker configuration such as 7.1.6 or 9.1.4, allowing you even more flexibility and elevated immersive audio experience.
Subwoofer outputs and settings
Immerse yourself in evenly distributed, accurate bass. Featuring up to four subwoofer outputs to smooth out low frequencies and provide better dispersion. No audible peaks or dips—just powerful, room-filling bass. Tweak your subwoofer settings to your preference when more than two subwoofers are connected. Select "Standard" if you want evenly distributed bass performance. Select "Directional" if you want more directional bass performance seamlessly integrated into the speaker channel closest to each subwoofer in the room.
Pre Amplifier Mode
Your Denon AV amplifier can work as a perfect AV preamplifier with the latest HDMI connectivity. Pre Amplifier Mode provides a cleaner signal path and more tolerance in clipping level by disconnecting internal amplifiers. Add the flexibility to disconnect select speaker channels so that you can use the AV receiver's built-in amplification to drive
non-critical channels to get a clearer signal path for the channels driven by external amplification.
OvrC
Domotz Pro and OvrC remote system monitoring and management technology programs allow custom integrators to monitor the status of connected products and troubleshoot remotely.

Josh.ai offers flexible voice control for nearly any aspect of your day-to-day experience and entertainment environment. Use voice commands to control the thermostat, lights, home appliances, speakers, AV receiver, and more. Josh.ai is installed by custom
integrators and accessed through an app on your phone or tablet. Works with iOS and Android devices.
