Premium power for clear, detailed sound
With 95 watts per channel of clean amplification, the AVR-X2900H DAB drives speakers with control and confidence, keeping dialogue clear at any volume level while effects and music retain impact and detail.

Every room and system comes together differently.

It’s all about balancing performance and flexibility without locking you into a single approach.

Support for high-definition picture
The AVR-X2900H DAB 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.

One hub for all your entertainment
Enjoy a more intuitive way to bring all your entertainment together. With your TV, gaming consoles and streaming sources connected through a single 4K/8K-ready hub, everything works as part of one cohesive setup. Advanced HDMI connectivity supports high-resolution video and fast-moving visuals while streamlining connections, making setup straightforward and everyday use effortless.
Whole-home sound Powered by HEOS
Great sound doesn’t stop at your TV. With HEOS, your AVR becomes the first zone in a flexible multirom system, letting you stream music, TV audio, sports, podcasts, and other content to components Powered by HEOS throughout your home. Play the same song everywhere or choose different music for different spaces, all controlled from the HEOS app. It’s an easy way to grow from one room into a fully connected listening experience.
High-performance gaming
Built for serious gaming, the AVR-X2900H DAB delivers smooth motion and responsive performance. With 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.
Optimise sound for your space
Every room affects sound differently. The AVR-X2900H DAB 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 DAB supports an optional upgrade to Dirac Live Room Correction.

As surround systems grow, maintaining consistent power across speakers becomes critical to preserving balance and impact. Denon’s 70% Power Guarantee means our AVRs 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.
