Whether it’s rain falling in a tropical jungle, the intense sound of gunfire, or an overhead aircraft, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X put you at the heart of the action.
Powerful, signature Denon sound
With a history that stretches back to 1910, Denon has over a century of audio experience. This experience becomes clear, as soon as you listen. With a high performance, discrete 7-channel amplifier at its heart, this Denon AV amp has a perfect balance of power and control. With 95 watts per channel, the full force of home cinema movies and gaming is easily realised. With support for Hi-Res Audio, it’s equally as impressive with music too.
Ready for 8K and supports HDCP 2.3 HDMI
Featuring three 8K compatible HDMI inputs, this Denon is suitable for use with top quality AV sources – both now and in the future. Both outputs are 8K compatible, too, making them ideal for 8K displays. The sockets also support 8K pass-through, 4K/120Hz gaming and 8K upscaling of 4K content. The AVC-X2850H supports HDCP 2.3, the latest copy protection standard, for peace of mind when streaming copy-protected content.
Supports Dolby Vision and HDR10+
The AVC-X2850H supports a wide range of High Dynamic Range video formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+. With pass-through support for both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats, you’re all set for the best results from all streaming services (Dolby Vision is used by Disney Plus and Netflix, while HDR10+ is used by Amazon Prime Video).
Supercharge your gaming
With its comprehensive HDMI interface, this Denon AV amp is ideal for gaming. There’s support for 4K/120Hz and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), giving you the best resolution and clarity. Quick Frame Transport (QFT) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) help eliminate lag and frame tearing, giving you a smoother, more responsive gaming experience.
Music streaming, powered by HEOS
Streaming music via the AVC-X2850H is simple with the free HEOS app. This user-friendly app uses three main tabs that feature at all times - Rooms, Music and Now Playing. You can listen to the same music in every room or different music in different rooms. The app also lets you group HEOS compatible devices such as soundbars and AV devices, for totally connected home audio.
HEOS – a complete ecosystem
The HEOS multiroom ecosystem lets you seamlessly configure up to 64 zones of sound – enough for even the largest mansions. Start with this AV amp and then build up a multiroom system to your exact requirements. With many hi-fi and home cinema amplifiers also featuring HEOS built in, it’s even easier to incorporate your entire home entertainment system into the HEOS family.
Stream your way – AirPlay 2, Roon Ready and Bluetooth
As well as the HEOS app, you can also choose to stream via other platforms. With AirPlay 2, this Denon AV amp makes an excellent choice for Apple users. As a Roon Ready device, the AVC-2850H can also be configured within a multi-brand, multiroom high-resolution Roon system. For quick and easy device pairing, there’s also Bluetooth onboard.
Setup Assistant and Audyssey MultEQ XT makes setup a breeze
Whether you’re a beginner or AV expert, Denon’s Setup Assistant walks you through connections and configuration with step-by-step on-screen guidance. Featuring Audyssey's MultEQ XT technology, the AVC-X2850H adapts itself to your room's acoustics. Use the supplied Audyssey measuring microphone and the system tunes the AV amp to provide the smoothest, most optimal overall listening experience for your room.
From turntable to TV – this Denon connects it all
With six HDMI inputs (three 8K, three 4K), this Denon AV amp has you covered for connecting all your video and gaming devices. There are also two optical digital inputs that are ideal for connecting older devices or upgrading the sound from a compatible CD player. Five analogue inputs are perfect for hi-fi components, plus there’s a further, dedicated MM phono input for plugging in a turntable.
Quick Selects for the perfect sound – instantly
With such user flexibility, getting the perfect sound can be a complex business. For this reason, Denon has fitted the AVC-X2850H with four Quick Select audio presets. Take your time in setting the ideal sound balance for your TV, Blu-ray player, media player and music streaming source and recall them at the touch of a button for the ideal sound, instantly.
