Other highlights include a powerful 7 channel discrete amplifier with auto Eco mode and dual subwoofer outputs. As well as the Audyssey Bronze suite of powerful DSP features, including MultEQ room acoustic measurement and DSP correction. They also link up to Denon’s renowned HEOS whole home audio system. These units feature IP control capability, and when paired with the HEOS Link, users can easily control the receiver with the Denon HEOS app.
