NEXT-GENERATION AV RECEIVER ADDS NEW FEATURES

Denon AVR-X2400H combines enhanced theatre performance with HEOS multiroom music streaming

AVR-X2400H combines compatibility with all the latest home cinema sound and vision formats, including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, 4K Ultra HD with HDR (High Dynamic Range) and Dolby Vision, along with the high-precision Audyssey MultEQ setup and optimisation. They are also compatible with the newly introduced Audyssey MultEQ Editor app.

The new models bring HEOS multiroom wireless music streaming to a new, affordable price-point, allowing them to integrate with other HEOS products to create whole-house entertainment systems, all with the simple control of the HEOS app.

Denon AVR-X2400H: building on an Award-winning design

The new AVR-X2400H follows in illustrious footsteps: the AVR-X2300W from which it has been developed won not only the EISA award for Best HT Receiver 2016-2017, but also both the 2016 What Hi-Fi? Award for Best Home Cinema Receiver in its price category and the 2016 What Hi-Fi? Readers’ Award.

The new AVR-X2400H still has all the winning features of its predecessor, but now gains even greater ability for both home theatre and music use, including the ultra-precise Audyssey MultEQ XT calibration and set-up system, complete with Denon’s new Audyssey MultEQ Editor app (available for purchase in the Appstores) to allow the user to fine-tune its settings. It also includes HEOS multiroom music streaming, allowing it to form the heart of a whole-house audio system.

The AVR-X2400H is a 7.2-channel design, with fully discrete amplifier technology allowing it to deliver a maximum of 150W from each of its seven channels, and a powerful, precise and detailed sound from music and movies alike. It has built-in decoding for both Dolby Atmos and DTS;X, creating immersive three-dimension cinema experiences.

Eight HDMI inputs, including one conveniently positioned on the front panel, feed a video section supporting Full 4K Ultra HD, HDCP 2.2, HDR (High Dynamic Range), BT.2020, Wide Color Gamut and 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, allowing the connection of all the latest devices such as game consoles, Blu-ray players or streaming set-top-boxes. It is even ready for Dolby Vision and HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma; via future firmware update), and has an advanced video processor to upscale existing lower resolution video to true 4K. Two HDMI outputs mean you can even connect a TV and a projector in parallel.

Being a Denon product, the AVR-X2400H is also built to play music to a very high standard, and, as well as wireless Bluetooth to allow music to played direct from portable devices, has full network connectivity via Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Dual antenna and dual-band support guarantee a strong network signal even in crowded Wi-Fi environments, and once connected, the AVR-X2400H opens up unlimited music sources and playback options, including Apple AirPlay, network attached storage devices (NAS), Internet Radio and a wide range of streaming services including Deezer, Spotify Connect and Tidal (where available; subscriptions required).

High-resolution audio files including FLAC, ALAC or DSD (even up to 5.6MHz) are also supported and played back in impeccable quality.

That networking also enables the HEOS integration built into the AVR-X2400H, enabling both networked stored music and online services to be shared wirelessly with HEOS speakers and other HEOS-enabled devices around the house, creating a complete, expandable multiroom music system. It’s all operated using the free HEOS app, allowing the system to be controlled from any room in the house, and the simple addition of extra ‘zones’ or the combination of HEOS devices to create a complete party sound system.

Thanks to Denon’s exclusive Setup Assistant, the AVR-X2400H is simple to set up and use, featuring clear on-screen graphics and text that quickly and easily guides you through the setup process, optimising critical system settings for the best possible sound quality. Four Quick Select function buttons to let the user choose their favourite input sources, remembering preferred audio settings for each source to deliver precisely tailored sound.

Finally, the provision of Denon’s advanced ECO Mode enables the AVR-X2400H to tailor its power consumption to the way it’s being used, reducing energy use by as much as 50% when playing at low levels. The user can switch the ECO Mode on, turn it off for full-power use at high levels, or set it to Auto and allow the AVR-X2400H to make the decisions based on the content being played and volume levels. An on-screen Eco metre can be displayed to monitor the amount of energy the receiver is using.

Combining high performance with flexibility and HEOS multiroom music streaming, the Denon AVR-X2400H is designed as the complete home entertainment solution.
