Powerful home theater

With an output power of 150 watts per channel, the AVC-X2850H impresses in both small setups and large surround configurations. Whether you're building a classic 5.2 system, an extended 7.2 setup, or a 5.2.2 system with height speakers, the amplifier offers flexibility and power reserves for a room-filling, dynamic soundstage.

Immersive 3D sound

The amplifier supports the latest audio formats:

• Dolby Atmos® and DTS:X® for three-dimensional soundscapes
• Dolby Surround and DTS Neural:X to enhance older content
• Virtual 3D sound even without height speakers

This creates a captivating scene for films, games and music – from quiet dialogues to explosive action scenes.

Picture quality in 8K Ultra HD

The AVC-X2850H is ready for the future of home theater. With 8K/60Hz passthrough, 4K/120Hz for gaming, and advanced upscaling, content is rendered with razor-sharp clarity. Supported video formats such as HDR10+, Dolby Vision™, and Dynamic HDR ensure brilliant colors, deep contrast, and maximum brightness.

Easy setup and precise room correction

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced home theater enthusiast, the Denon Installation Wizard guides you step-by-step through the setup process. Audyssey MultEQ XT Room Calibration then automatically optimizes the sound to the acoustics of your living space. The result: tailor-made sound with clear structure, perfect balance, and impressive dynamics.

Versatile connection options

With six HDMI inputs (three of which are 8K-capable) and two HDMI outputs, you can connect numerous devices such as Blu-ray players, game consoles, streaming boxes, or TV receivers. Additional digital and analog inputs offer flexibility for classic hi-fi components.

Multiroom audio with HEOS built-in

The AVC-X2850H integrates seamlessly into a HEOS multi-room system. Compatible speakers, soundbars, or hi-fi systems can be connected via Wi-Fi. You can enjoy music from leading streaming services in high resolution, share content between rooms, or control different playback in each room – all easily via the HEOS app or voice assistants.

Two zones – complete freedom

Thanks to dual-zone support, different content can be played simultaneously. While a movie is playing in the living room, music can be played in another room. This allows multiple people to use the amplifier independently.

Optimized for gaming

For the latest generation of gaming consoles, the Denon AVC-X2850H offers features such as 4K/120Hz passthrough, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT). The result: smooth, lag-free gaming with precise picture and audio reproduction. Combined with 3D sound, every game becomes more immersive and responsive.

As one of the first manufacturers to market CD players, Dolby Atmos AV receivers, and 8K-capable devices, Denon has shaped the industry for decades.
