A: There are Phono inputs on this receiver and plug my 40 year old Hitachi with great sound. I believe if a receiver has no Phono inputs , then you will need a pre amp and would plug into the receiver other RCA ports
Q: How many watts per channel on this receiver
A:
Hey Vikings,
The wattage specs for this unit are 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms.
Thanks,
Denon North America
A:
Hey Tigerstripes7,
You can set the units sound mode to stereo for 2ch or Multi-CH stereo to activate all speakers.
Thanks,

Q: Would this amp be good for my infinity beta 50 speakers?
A: If the am reading the specs on your Infinity Beta50 speakers correctly, they appear to be rated up to 250W. This amp does not produce nearly that much power per channel to exceed the published rating of the speakers. It is rated at 140 per channel. The Denon Amps have a feature to "Auto Setup" your speakers. Using the feature, it goes through a sequence of test using a provided microphone receiver, to automatically adjust the sound settings for your environment and speakers and appears to also measure and take into consideration, the wattage of the attached speakers, including any center channel speaker and attached sub-woofer. If the Amp has more power per channel than the speaker is rated for, it appears to "limit" the maximum volume control setting on the amp, to keep you from blowing your speakers if they can't handle the amps power per channel. You can of course override this, but why risk blowing your speakers if they can't handle the rated wattage per channel of the amp. I have smaller speakers in my 5.2 configuration, that can't handle the full power of my Denon AVR-S650H amp (150W per channel) so the auto setup feature set a 75% volume limit during that speaker configuration setup. I have a neighbor that just purchased this particular AVR-S540BT amp you are inquiring about. While the rated power per channel of this amp is 140W per channel, my neighbor has very high quality speakers in his setup, and can handle the maximum power from the amp. The auto speaker configuration setup did not limit his maximum volume and allow him to crank it to 100%. Hope this helps!
Q: How many sets of speakers will it handle? I have a se on patio and another on the porch
A: This receiver has two zones. I use Zone 1 for my kitchen and Zone 2 for the pool area and am able to have either zone or both ON at the at the same time. My setup has 4 in-ceiling speakers and two speakers outside. The receiver has a setting ALL STEREO which enables the speaker outputs to be used in pairs rather than surround mode which directs only certain sounds to certain speakers. The HEOS phone/iPad app is decent and allows for remote operation. I have a duplicate Denon in the basement which allows me access to those two zones to play the same content throughout.
A: The S650H outputs 75W per channel at 8 ohms and 100W per channel at 6 ohms. These speakers can output 200W (per speaker) max with an 8 ohm load. The AVR will definitely work with the speakers, but it won't drive them.
A: Able to connect and control wirelessly.
A: No, the AVR will process the audio to the theater speakers by default. You can go into the AVR's menu and select Video - HDMI Setup - HDMI Audio Out. Changing that to "TV" will pass the HDMI input audio (DVD player) to the TV speakers. At that point, the AVR will not process the DVD audio, but just pass it to the TV speakers. For the USB, AM/FM or Phono sources, these sources are internal only and they cannot be passed to the TV speakers.
