ℹ Product Information
A high-performance 7.2 channel AV receiver delivering 95W per channel, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X 3D audio, 4K/8K HDMI, whole-home streaming via HEOS, Audyssey MultEQ XT room correction, DAB+ tuner, phono input, gaming-optimised connectivity and optional Dirac Live upgrade. Powered by over 110 years of Denon audio expertise.
High-Performance Surround Sound, Made Flexible
The Denon AVR-X2900H DAB is a powerfully versatile AV receiver that brings together immersive 3D audio, modern 4K/8K video connectivity, whole-home streaming and intelligent room correction in one refined package. Whether you're building a new home theatre system or expanding an existing setup, the AVR-X2900H DAB delivers the performance, flexibility and long-term value that Denon has been perfecting for over 110 years.
95 Watts Per Channel — Premium Amplification
With 95 watts per channel of clean, controlled amplification across seven channels, the AVR-X2900H DAB drives speakers with confidence and composure at any volume level. Dialogue stays clear and well-defined, effects retain their impact and detail, and quiet passages remain nuanced rather than lost. Dynamic scenes feel balanced rather than strained — delivering a consistently immersive listening experience across films, music and games.
Denon's 70% Power Guarantee ensures the receiver delivers over 70% of its rated output to up to five channels simultaneously, maintaining balance and impact as your system grows from stereo into full multichannel surround.
Dolby Atmos & DTS:X — Immersive 3D Audio
Lose yourself in breathtaking 360-degree sound with full Dolby Atmos and DTS:X support. Object-based audio places sound precisely in three-dimensional space, drawing you deeper into films, music and games from every direction. The AVR-X2900H DAB supports both 7.2 surround and 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos configurations — giving you the flexibility to start with a traditional layout and expand with height speakers when you're ready.
For content without native height channel information, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X upmixing can create a 3D audio sensation from legacy stereo and surround sources using all available speakers.
4K & 8K Video — Dolby Vision & Upscaling
The AVR-X2900H DAB supports modern 4K and 8K video formats with Dolby Vision for rich colour, contrast and detail. Built-in upscaling enhances legacy HD content for display on today's higher-resolution screens, with optimisation for both 4K and 8K displays. Six HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs provide comprehensive connectivity for TVs, Blu-ray players, gaming consoles and streaming devices.
High-Performance Gaming
The AVR-X2900H DAB is built for serious gaming. 4K/120Hz pass-through, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) and AMD FreeSync keep fast-paced action smooth, clean and responsive. Combined with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X spatial audio, gameplay becomes a fully immersive experience — sharpening awareness and drawing you deeper into every environment, whether exploring open worlds or competing online.
Whole-Home Audio with HEOS
Great sound doesn't stop at your TV. Powered by HEOS, the AVR-X2900H DAB becomes the first zone in a flexible whole-home audio system, letting you stream music, TV audio, sports and podcasts to any HEOS-enabled speaker throughout your home. Play the same audio in every room or choose different content for different spaces — all controlled from the HEOS app. It's an effortless way to expand from a single room into a fully connected listening experience.
Audyssey Room Correction — And Optional Dirac Live Upgrade
Every room affects sound differently. The AVR-X2900H DAB includes Audyssey MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ and Dynamic Volume room correction tools. Using the included microphone, Audyssey measures each speaker and optimises speaker levels, timing and balance for your specific space — delivering clear dialogue, cohesive surround sound and well-balanced effects without constant manual adjustment.
For those seeking even greater precision, the AVR-X2900H DAB supports an optional upgrade to Dirac Live Room Correction — one of the most advanced room correction technologies available.
DAB+ Tuner & Phono Input
A built-in DAB+ tuner provides access to digital radio stations with superior sound quality compared to analogue FM. A dedicated phono MM input makes the AVR-X2900H DAB a natural partner for a turntable, enabling vinyl playback without requiring a separate phono preamplifier.
Key Technologies — Built-In Compatibility That Matters
The AVR-X2900H DAB is built around a suite of industry-leading technologies that ensure seamless compatibility with today's most important audio and video standards. Spotify Connect lets you stream directly from the Spotify app without needing a phone or tablet as a middleman. Dolby Atmos and DTS:X deliver object-based 3D surround sound, while Dolby Vision and HDR10+ ensure the richest possible picture from compatible sources and displays. 8K pass-through future-proofs your setup for next-generation content, and HEOS Built-In enables effortless whole-home audio streaming. On the connectivity side, eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) and ARC support allow high-quality audio to travel back from your TV to the receiver over a single HDMI cable — including lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS:X from TV apps — while Audyssey room correction ensures everything sounds its best in your specific space.
110+ Years of Denon Sound Mastery
Every Denon AV receiver is hand-tuned by Denon's sound master, drawing on more than a century of Japanese audio heritage and acoustic expertise. The AVR-X2900H DAB is not merely a component — it is the product of generations of refinement, innovation and dedication to the art of sound reproduction.
