Denon AVR-X2900H 7.2 HEOS AV Receiver - Black
Details
8K video and 3D audio experience from a 7.2 channel receiver.
Enjoy incredible 8K video and 3D audio from the AVR-X2900H. It easily fills medium-size rooms with brilliant audio from a 7.2 or 5.2.2 set up with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. And with HEOS Built-in, you can wirelessly stream music and share with every HEOS-enabled speaker around your home.
Performance Without Complexity
With 95 watts per channel of clean amplification, the AVR-X2900H drives speakers with control and confidence, keeping dialogue clear at any volume level while effects and music retain impact and detail. Dynamic scenes feel balanced rather than strained, and quieter moments remain clear and nuanced. The result is a more immersive listening experience across films, music and games-where sound feels natural, enveloping and consistently engaging.
Dolby Atmos
Feel every dimension in Dolby Atmos. Upgrade your home theatre with a 5.1.2-speaker setup to unleash a fully immersive 3D audio experience from Dolby Atmos content. Plus the Dolby Surround up mixer engages all speakers to create 3D audio sensations from legacy content. On top of this, Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization Technology can create the sensation of overhead sound even without height speakers installed.
DTS:X
DTS:X immersive audio content places sound where it would naturally occur in space, creating lifelike, multi-dimensional audio. DTS Neural:X up mixer offers improved immersion and heightened realism for legacy content. DTS Virtual:X provides immersive audio without height channels, creating virtual height effects in a 7.1, 5.1, or 2.1- speaker setup.
Support For High-Definition Visuals
The AVR-X2900H supports modern 4K and 8K video formats for films, programmes and games, with Dolby Vision technology for rich colour, contrast and detail. For HD sources such as non-Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, built-in upscaling enhances detail and clarity when viewed on today’s higher-resolution TVs. Upscaled video is optimised for both 4K and 8K displays, helping legacy content look sharper and more refined while preserving the richness, colour and contrast of high-definition media.
HEOS Built-In Technology
With HEOS Built-in, your AV receiver can stream music wirelessly across compatible HEOS components from a variety of free and premium streaming services. Consumers can also enjoy their favourite music in any room of the home wirelessly. Play the same song in every room or select a different song for each connected room via a variety of streaming sources. Add Denon Home speakers to more rooms and control it all with the HEOS app.
High-Performance Gaming
Built for serious gaming, the AVR-X2900H delivers smooth motion and responsive performance. With 1440/120Hz and 4K/120Hz support, Variable Refresh Rate, Auto Low Latency Mode and AMD FreeSync, fast-paced action remains clean and fluid. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X deliver 3D sound that moves with the action, sharpening awareness and drawing you deeper into every world-whether you’re exploring vast landscapes or competing online.
Room Tuning
Every room affects sound differently. The AVR-X2900H includes Audyssey room correction tools, featuring MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume, to align speaker levels, timing and balance for your space. Using the included microphone, Audyssey measures each speaker and optimises system response, delivering clear dialogue, cohesive surround sound and well-balanced effects. For expanded control, the AVR-X2900H supports an optional paid upgrade to Dirac Live Room Correction.
Stable And Reliable
As surround systems grow, maintaining consistent power across speakers becomes critical to preserving balance and impact. Denon’s 70% Power Guarantee means they'll deliver over 70% of rated output to up to five channels simultaneously, helping dialogue stay clear, effects remain controlled and dynamics feel natural as your system expands beyond stereo into multichannel surround.
