Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sounds good so far I wanted to scale down my bulky tower speaker entertainment system for a small living room. This works well. Mostly I try to keep the volume to a minimum, and that's not a problem, especially with the night setting on. I have been using Dialog Enhancer, but I wish there was more documentation about it. Apparently that setting and Night cannot both work at the same time. One major question I have is: when, if ever, is Dialog Enhancer reset to the default? And more importantly, WHAT IS the default setting? I assume it is Low, but I would appreciate an official answer to that. Since there is no display, I don't know where to find this information.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Denon does it again. Quality at a fair price. Fantastic device. Sleek styling, ease of setup and operation. Not many speakers of it's kind have a subwoofer out. The remote is also well designed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DHT-S217 I was very surprised when I tested the product out. I was choosing between this and the Bose speaker that was around the same price on Black Friday. I am sooo glad I went with this. My friend got the Bose and ended up returning it to get this. Love it.

Questions

Does this soundbar support HDR 10+ pass through?

Asked by: J Peter
Hello, The DHT-S217 supports HDR video passthrough. If you are using a source which offers anything more advanced than HDR, we recommend connecting that source directly to one of your TV's HDMI ports.

Do you sell a subwoofer that goes along with the SHT-S217

Asked by: poirierdr
Hello, Out Home Subwoofer works well with the DHT-S217. It requires an RCA to 3.5 mm analog cable to connect the two devices. These are easily found on Amazon. https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/wireless-speakers/denon-home-subwoofer/300446.html

Can i connect wireless rear speakers to this soundbar?

Asked by: Anonymous
Hello, The DHT-S217 is self-contained. Unfortunately, it does not support the use of rear speakers. The Home 550 is our Soundbar which supports use with optional wireless rear speakers, as well as an optional wireless sub-woofer. Here is a link with the details: https://www.denon.com/en-us/product/sound-bars/denon-home-sound-bar-550/300052-new.html

Hello, is it possible to wired dht-s217 subwoofer port out (RCA connector) to Bose bass module 500/700 (3,5mm jack connector) ? Pls advice

Asked by: Andy Z
Hello, The analog output of the DHT-S217 is to feed a sub-woofer with a regular analog line input. I have no details on the Bose Bass Module you speak of, so it is better Bose answer this question about their product for you to be certain.

would be nice if there is possible update ,and some android app for equalisation and DRC, and option to shut off built in subs if is subwoofer out connected , can you ?

Asked by: hawranni
Hello, the Denon DHT-S217 is not Wi-Fi compatible. A USB port is provided for any future updates that may become available. The Built-in subwoofers cannot be shut off; however, the Bass can be adjusted using the remote control. Fine-tuning a connected subwoofer may be possible using the subwoofer's own Gain and Crossover control. Most powered subwoofers will provide their own Gain and Crossover adjustments allowing you to blend the bar to the subwoofer.
