Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Sounding Receiver I've enjoyed this receiver for almost a year since submitting this review. It's configured for a 7.2.4 configuration with front speakers bi-amped and two Zone 2 speakers for stereo out on the deck. This setup utilizes all fifteen amplifiers. Bi-amping the two, front speakers allows for plenty of power overhead while critical listening to stereo sources. Movies encoded with Dolby really come alive. As an upgrade to my Marantz SR-7012, I'm extremely happy I chose this AV Receiver. It's versatile and powerful, but most importantly, it sounds great!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from What's with the Remote ? Just opened the box, and the first thing I noticed was the weak remote? I love Denon and therefore bought the top dog receiver, but at a $2K price difference I expected the remote to be on par with the previous top dog receiver.

Questions

No audio input signal is received on initial powering on. If I turn the A1H off and then power it on again while pressing the power button down for an extended period of time; 5 to 10 seconds, it finally receives an audio input signal. What's wrong?

Asked by: Alfred
Hello, My initial suggestion is to check for a firmware update. https://manuals.denon.com/AVRA1H/NA/EN/GFNFSYldiskxse.php#OKNRMLvzqorsen If this doesn't fix the issue, try a reset. This involves disconnecting the AVR-A1H from it's power source for at least 15 minutes. Then power back up again. If that doesn't do it, try a Firmware reset. Here is a link with details on how this is done: https://manuals.denon.com/AVRA1H/NA/EN/RQIFSYfmmhttob.php If you are still in need of assistance, here is a link to our Product Support Team.

I have a 7.1.4 (atmos) speaker system. Sub is powered. If I'm driving all those speakers, what power is getting to them? (Impedance is 6-8 nominal.) Can I expected to have 150W to 11 channels?

Asked by: Specialized007
Denon rates the total power usage of the AVR-A1H as 900 Watts. Continuous total output power will be less than that, although instantaneous output power may be much greater. The 150 wpc continuous output rating is for 2 channels driven into 8 ohm loads. So taking into consideration all the preceding points, I understand that the device will necessarily output LESS THAN 11 channels * 150 wpc = 1,650 Watts continuously. That being said, in actual use, only the main Right, Center and Left channels usually demand significant amounts of power. That’s assuming that you don’t use zones 2 and 3. I would prefer that Denon rate their devices with 3 channels driven, since that more reasonably represents home theater usage. Practically speaking the receiver appears to have gobs of power though.

Hi, in my 9.3.6 HT system, can A1H just sync one subwoofer with the front LCR speakers at 80Hz crossover and meanwhile sync the other two subwoofers with the rest all of the surround & atmos speakers at 120Hz crosover?

Asked by: Arbee
Hello, Yes - the AVR-A1H allows for indivual sub-woofer setting adjustment within the AVR.
Answered by: Denon Response

I own the A1H and love it. However, I can’t find any information regarding this question: When using one of the sub-outs for the tactile transducer, does the signal from that output bypass the EQ imposed by Audyssey/Dirac or manual-EQ? Thanks!

Asked by: Norelco
Hello, Yes - the signal to the tactile transducer will not be unfluenced by Audyssey or Dirac. This is because room correction relies on speaker/sub-woofer sound waves to make any channel adjustments. As a tactile transducer is not a speaker or a sub-woofer, it is ignored by Audyssey and manual EQ settings.

I Lovenmy new A1H! I need to manage my cables better tho. What is the minimum distance to keep the A1H away from other components? I cannot find this in the manual. Please respond with cm/inches away from all sides, including the rear. Thank you.

Asked by: DavB
Hi DavB, Congratulations on your AVR-A1H purchase. We are very proud of this particular design. It is recommended to have at least 6" clearance from above and one inch from the sides to allow for helathy ventilation.

Does the AVR-A1H support SiriusXM? Currently, I have the Denon AVR-X4700H and it drops the SiriusXM signal a lot. The antenna seems to be very weak.

Asked by: Greg in SoCal
Hello, Yes - you access SiriusXM through the HEOS app - if your wi-fi feed is strong enough, you can have an uninterrupted signal feed of SiriusXM. Here's how to find SiriusXM in HEOS: HEOS App > Music Tab > Cog/wheel (top left of screen) > Music Sources > Online Music > SiriusXM > Sign In > follow instructions on screen.

Does this support Bluetooth Auracast or some sort of multi-chanel bluetooth transmission? Basically wondering if it can transmit to 2+ bluetooth speakers simultaneously?

Asked by: Broc
Hello, The AVR-A1H can transmit to one device at a time. Bluetooth Transmitter and Receiver modes cannot be operated simultaneously. The Bluetooth Transmitter mode is not available when the receiver's current source input is set to Bluetooth and vice-versa; Bluetooth Receiver mode is not available when the Bluetooth Transmitter setting is set to 'on'. Selecting a Bluetooth input source in any Zone will terminate the connection between the Denon receiver and Bluetooth headphones. You cannot connect Bluetooth headphones when the Denon receiver is grouped within the HEOS app. Remove the receiver from the group to enable Bluetooth headphones connection.

There is 150W into each of 2 channels, so 300W total. 15.4 channels. That's only 20Wpc (less, subs need a 10th/pow each). Is this correct?

Asked by: mikegariti81
Hello, That is not correct. Every channel is capable of reproducing up to 150 watts. We haven't tested and measured for 15 channels being driven all at the same time, not least because finding such source content is extremely difficult. The AVR-A1H is capable of delivering at least 70% of 150 watts for each channel with five channels being driven simultaneously. Most speakers demand a small fraction of that amount of power to go very loud in a regular domesitic setting. Either way, the AVR-A1H is well equipped to get the best out of a wide variety of loudspeaker.
