Denon announced two new entry-level 2015 Network A/V Receivers in the S-Series A/V receiver line for under $600, which include built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and the latest HDMI specification including HDCP 2.2 support on all HDMI terminals. The new AVR-S710W ($479) and AVR-S910W ($579) A/V receivers deliver high performance and high value at an affordable price, along with the even lower-priced AVR-S510BT introduced in May.
AVR-S710W
The AVR-S710W 7.2 Channel Full 4K HD A/V Receiver with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi brings technology from Denon’s top-of-the-range A/V models and offers amazing value. It breaks sonic boundaries with 7 channels each providing 165 watts, that, along with the Denon engineering team’s many years of experience in amplifier design, ensure that the sound reaching the speakers is powerful, controlled, and full of subtle detail.
It features Dolby Atmos immersive surround decoding, delivering breathtaking surround sound with today’s advanced movie soundtracks. With Dolby Atmos users will experience the same revolutionary 3D surround sound found in premium movie theaters along with the ability to create an overhead surround soundfield that dramatically expands the sonic space. And, via a firmware update (expected to be available fall 2015), the AVR-S710W will be able to decode DTS:X soundtracks, which also deliver an immersive 3-dimensional soundspace. DTS:X features object-based audio coding that lets the sound designer place sonic elements anywhere in the 3D acoustic soundspace, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience. Along with DTS:X decoding, the AVR-S710W features DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and other DTS audio technologies.
Prepared for the future, the AVR-S710W features an advanced video processing and signal handling system, including the latest HDMI 2.0a specification which provides for 4K Ultra HD full rate 60 Hz content, 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, HDR (High Dynamic Range), Rec.2020 color space capability and 21:9 aspect ratio pass-through. It’s also HDCP 2.2 compliant, which is a requirement for 4K Ultra HD copy-protected content. HDCP 2.2 is supported by the receiver’s 6 HDMI inputs and 1 output.
Full wireless connectivity comes with built-in Wi-Fi that enables users to connect to their home network easily and Bluetooth that enables wireless playback from compatible portable devices. The dual antennas deliver robust signal transmission and reception. Users can enjoy music from streaming services, and enjoy easy control via iOS, Android and Kindle apps. Overall this model offers an amazing roster of features for its price range with features such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and 6 HDMI inputs, including 1 conveniently located on the front panel.
