Denon AVRX-1200W Home Theatre Receiver

Experience the ultimate in home theater surround sound with the AVR-X1200W 7.2 channel A/V receiver which features Dolby Atmos immersive surround sound decoding, delivering breathtaking surround sound with today's advanced movie soundtracks. With Dolby Atmos, you'll experience the same revolutionary 3D surround sound found in premium movie theaters, with the ability to create an overhead surround soundfield that dramatically expands the sonic space. And, via a future firmware update, the AVR-X1200W will be able to decode DTS:X soundtracks, which also deliver an immersive 3-dimensional soundspace. Prepared for the future, the AVR-X1200W features an advanced video processing system which provides for 4K Ultra HD full rate, and it's 3D compatible. The AVR-X1200W is also HDCP 2.2 compliant, a requirement for 4K Ultra HD copy-protected content. Full wireless connectivity is provided by both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with dual antennas that help ensure robust signal transmission and reception. Stream your favourite music through AirPlay, Spotify Connect or local network storage drives, and enjoy easy control via the Denon 2015 AVR Remote iOS and Android apps.

For many years, movie surround soundtracks have been channel-based. Revolutionary Dolby Atmos surround sound technology dispenses with channel-based coding in favour of more advanced object-based coding, giving the sound designer the ability to precisely place sounds anywhere in the 3-dimensional space. Now, you can enjoy this same award-winning technology at home with the AVR-X1200W, which features the ability to connect a 5.1 surround sound speaker system and 2 additional overhead speakers or 2 additional Dolby Atmos-certified up-firing speakers for the ultimate home theater experience. Along with Dolby Atmos decoding and Dolby Surround Upmixing, the AVR-X1200W also features Dolby TrueHD lossless decoding and other Dolby Digital technologies.

The latest immersive surround sound system, DTS:X, features object-based audio coding that lets the sound designer place sonic elements anywhere in the 3D acoustic soundspace, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience. DTS:X and DTS Neural:X Upmixer will be enabled through a future online firmware update. For more info, please visit www.denon.com/dtsx.

Featuring an advanced quad-core 32-bit DSP processor, the AVR-X1200W easily handles multi-thread processing tasks, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X decoding, Audyssey room acoustic correction, bass management and DSP surround simulation. The processor features tremendous processing power, with 4 300-MHz DSP cores that deliver over 1 billion computations per second.

In addition to handling 4K Ultra HD 3840x2160 resolution, the AVR-X1200W also features HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Wide Color Gamut compatibility, key components of the BT.2020 4K Ultra HD video specification.

Featuring Bluetooth & Wi-Fi wireless streaming connectivity, the AVR-X1200W is equipped with an advanced dual antenna RF transceiver system for robust and error-free streaming, even in congested urban environments. Connect to the internet through your home Wi-Fi network (or with a hard-wired connection via the RJ-45 Ethernet LAN port) and enjoy your favourite tracks from streaming music services such as Pandora, Spotify Connect and Sirius XM. You can also choose from thousands of internet radio stations around the world, and enjoy music from virtually every genre.

With AirPlay, you can enjoy listing to your favourite tracks wirelessly from your favourite iOS device, including the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad, and the AVR-X1200W is also DLNA 1.5 certified for compatibility with your home PC or Mac.

The Denon 2015 AVR Remote App lets you easily control the AVR-X1200W with your favourite portable device and it's available for both Apple and Android devices.

Featuring high current discrete power output devices on all channels, the AVR-X1200W is rated at 145 watts per channel. For compatibility with the widest range of loudspeaker models, the AVR-X1200W is also equipped with low impedance drive capability, to provide operational stability with speakers rated at 4 ohms.

The Eco mode adjusts the power amplifier's output according to the volume level to reduce power consumption and the on-screen Eco meter lets you see the power consumption reduction in real time.

The AVR-X1200W features dual subwoofer outputs, which lets you connect two smaller subwoofers instead of a single larger sub, and enjoy the benefits of response averaging by having two subs in different locations in the room. With dual subwoofers, deep bass is smoother and more detailed, minimizing the peaks and dips that often result with a single subwoofer setup.

As the first A/V receiver manufacturer to embrace Audyssey's advanced DSP audio algorithms, Denon has introduced the most Audyssey-equipped products, and the AVR-X1200W features the Audyssey Silver suite of DSP functions, which includes MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume.

Audyssey MultEQ XT automatic room acoustic measurement and correction system matches your speakers to your room's acoustics, for the smoothest, most natural tonal balance. MultEQ XT provides greater filter precision for the main and satellite speakers, with 8 times the resolution compared to the base MultEQ system, at up to 8 measurement locations.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ uses advanced psychoacoustic algorithms to continually adjust tonal balance so that the sound you hear is full range, even at lower volume levels, and Audyssey Dynamic Volume smoothes out annoying volume jumps, especially with loud commercials.

Enjoy stereo sound from one source in one room, and 5.1 surround sound from another source in the main room. Simply connect a pair of stereo speakers to the multi-room amplified outputs. Or, connect a separate stereo amp and speakers to the Zone 2 pre-outs, and enjoy full 7 channel surround sound in the main room.

The high quality speaker terminals feature multi-way connection capability to handle a wide variety of speaker cable termination types. They're also colour coded for correct hookup the very first time, and colour coded speaker cable labels are included.

The convenient USB port on the front panel lets you stream tunes directly from your iPod touch, iPhone and iPad and charge your device at the same time.

You can also connect a USB drive or NAS device and listen to MP3 and WAV files, and the AVR-X1200W features high resolution audio file compatibility, including DSD (2.8 MHz) and FLAC lossless decoding.

There are 4 Quick Select function buttons on the front panel and on the ergonomic remote control, that let you get to your favourite sources quickly. And, the Quick Select function remembers your preferred audio settings for each one.
