Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crisp clean sound and quality I have this amp powering Klipsch surround and tower speakers and the crisp clean clear sounds and vibrant bass is very satisfying to the ears. I replaced my 80’s Harmon Kardon system and this is a step up. Technology has definitely been added and I had to learn the system and I am still learning it. However it’s an enjoyable process. It is complicated at first, but it is much easier after figuring out the app on my phone. I love that part.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Denon AVR-X3800H - best bang-for-the-buck AVR The Denon AVR-X3800H is the best receiver in its price class, and should be the most sought after mid-tier AVR for 2023! As a former Home Theater installer, I am very picky when it comes to sourcing gear for my own Home Theater Needs. I want a well-built unit,that is feature rich and has all the necessary technology to maximize my Home Theater Experience. This receiver fits the bill on every front! For starters, this receiver is future proof as all 6 HDMI inputs support the newest HDMI standard: HDMI 2.1 (40 Gbps). There is no component currently on the market or that is coming out in 2023 that this unit will not provide maximum performance and maximum compatibility with! This unit features a quality amplifier that should comfortably drive all but the most extreme high-end speakers. EVERY owner will benefit from the inclusion of the best-in-class Audyssey MultEQ XT32 automatic calibration software that will improve virtually every setup’s sound quality with its calibration magic. (Note: Power users will be able to buy an upgrade to Dirac Live - which is the very best calibration standard in the entire industry!) Some of the key features include nine channels of amplification, up to four independent subwoofers(!), Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, plus IMAX Enhanced and Auro 3D. All the critical legacy features are also there such as support for DTS HD Master audio and Dolby Atmos (amongst MANY others!) Those who are simply looking for a processor will also find the Denon AVR-X3800H to be hands down the most feature rich processor at its price point in the entire industry. (Something audioholics.com has been ranting about as well!) Lastly, I want to salute the Denon engineers for the inclusion of one AWESOME new feature - TWO zone 1 outputs that that output simultaneously! This feature has been overlooked by many because many people don’t understand its significance. This is a HUGE feature for gamers or PC users! Let me explain. Your cable box, Blu-ray player, or streaming TV box can output to one input on the TV set to the best movie or TV show display mode setting on your TV. You can have your video game systems or PC designated to output to a second zone 1 video output going to another input on the TV set to best display gaming or PC quality (often referred to as “Game Mode.”). Being able to hookup all your video game systems or PC’s to a different input on your TV set to a different display mode setting optimized for gaming or PC use is a HUGE deal for gamers or PC users to get the best picture quality while eliminating response lag from their game controllers. The Denon engineers outdid themselves with the massive technology upgrades the AVR-X3800H has received. All AVR-X3800H owners like myself are the winners and I'd like to personally thank the Denon engineers for possibly the best entry in their X3x00 series to date. Bravo!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really nice receiver I purchased this about 2 months ago when I stopped by my local hifi store. They had 1 in stock, so I bought it. I liked it. I upgraded my cables and now I LOVE it. I'm rewatching and relistening to a lot of my collection and absolutely hearing new things. It was a significant upgrade from my AVR-X2000 and worth every penny.

Questions

I live in France is it 220 compatible?

Asked by: CalSignum
Hello, Unfortunately, any of our AVR models bought in the US are not going to work in France because they are not dual voltage. They are 120V only. It is recommended to purchase the AVR in the country in which it will be used because your warranty is only valid if the AVR is used in the country in which it was bought.

Can the avr-X3800H run a 9.1 speaker setup? 5.1 ,plus 4 atmos speakers and 1 sub without external amps.Thanks...Phil....

Asked by: PGANT
Hello, Yes - the AVR-X3800H has nine powered channels and four sub-woofer ouputs, so a 5.1.4 configuration is possible without having to add an external power amplifier.
Answered by: Denon Response
Date published: 2023-09-07

Thanks for your descriptive answer. Can I choose both configurations (Main 5.1.2 + Zone2) to work together or separately? And will be auto separated by the number of channels from the source? If possible, will the subwoofer work with Zone2 speakers?

Asked by: Fatih
Hello, Yes - with the AVR-X3800H, you can have both the Main Zone and Zone 2 operate simultaneously. How well this works depends on how demanding the speakers are. Some speakers will be demanding enough (inefficient) to make it so you will either have to add an external power amplifier, or you will have to play either Zone one at a time. The sub-woofer pre-out feed is only for the Main Zone. If you want speakers in a different room to operate without it being an issue with the Main Zone playing at the same time, the best way to do it is to add our optional Home speakers. They have their own amplifier built-in, they are wireless between the AVR-X3800H and where they are located, and they can also be used with the Home wireless sub-woofer. Here is a link to the Home speaker selection: https://www.denon.com/en-us/category/wireless-speakers/

Hi, I want to set Klipsch RCS 5.1.4 on x3800h. But i want to add stereo Dali Oberon 5 additionally WITHOUT an external amfi. Is it possible or how? Can i connect the Oberons to zone 2 stereo? Will they amplified?

Asked by: Fatih
Hello, The AVR-X3800H powers up to nine loudspeakers. With a 5.1.4 configuration in the main room, you'll need to add an external power amplifier to power a pair of speakers for Zone 2 using the Zone 2 pre-out. Or you can have a 5.1.2 configuration and have the Zone 2 speakers connected without an external amplifier..

I’m having trouble getting the ps5 to get a video signal but I get audio. I have epson 5040ub and have no trouble with the unit everything switches fine ps5, ps4, pc, Sony hd player not sure why my Sony 295 is not getting a picture any help. Thanks

Asked by: Luke2023
Hello, Often this is down to the (typically) long run of HDMI cable to the projector. HDMI baluns, or at least an optical HDMI cable is recommended for long HDMI runs. If you already have this in place, then you may want to check to see if you have the 8K enhanced feature selected on your AVR-X3800H - especially if you have selected the 4K/120Hz feed. https://manuals.denon.com/AVRX3800H/NA/EN/DRDZSYuvqzolrz.php# Another possibility could reside in the HDMI cable between the PS5 and the AVR needing to be upgraded. Not all Ultra High Speed HDMI cables are made the same. We recommend Audioquest, as their HDMI cables have yet to let us down.
