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 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Better than before! Purchased to replace an older model which had more watts per channel. When comparing the clarity, highs, and lows, the newer model is much more accurate. So glad we upgraded.

Questions

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

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.
