  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 5.1 (The number of discrete channels of sound output. This can be a single number or multiple numbers separated by decimal(s). The first number is the primary, horizontally directed audio channels. The number after the first decimal, if applicable, is the number of subwoofer outputs or channels. The number after the second decimal, if applicable, is the number of height or atmospheric channels designed to immerse the listener by producing overhead sound effects.)
    • Video Pass-through: 2160 (4K), HDR (Devices with this feature allow video signals to travel from their source to a target device without alteration. For example, a receiver with 4K pass-through would allow 4K video signal from a Blu-ray player to pass to a target TV with surround sound; without the pass-through ability, the receiver would not allow both 4K video and surround sound to be transmitted simultaneously.)

Q: Does this unit have an output for a subwoofer.? I cannot tell

A: Since it is listedas a 5.2.... it should have outputs for 2 subwoofers. 5.1 would be 1 subwoofer.

Q: Does it have an AM FM tuner to listen to the radio by itself?

A: Yes It has am fm it also plays Bluetooth from your phone

Q: Does this receiver work with CD players and turntables?

A: If you purchase an external phono pre-amp, yes. Unit does not have a PHONO input.

Q: Is there a way to get the audio when we stream amazon or netflix to come through the receiver to our surround speakers? Currently when we stream we have mute our current denon 1513 5.1 receiver and the audio comes thru the tv speakers. Thank you

A: The answer is yes. The Denon reciever will help set this up in the initial startup/setup guide process. For users with a Amazon fire stick...the fire stick must be plugged into a HDMI port in back of the reciever and NOT on the TV. If plugged into the TV your sound will cut off periodically. Hope this helps!

Q: Can i connect 50 watt speaker per channel to this receiver? As i have Bose home theatre 5.1 each speaker 50w

A:

Hey Farid,

Yes these speakers will work with the unit.

Thanks,
Denon North America

Q: After watching TV for a while the receiver goes to “protection mode” and the sound comes out of the TV only. I have to turn the receiver back on. It’s wired to my speakers correctly. Is there a problem with the receiver?

A: You might want to make sure that there is good ventilation (airflow) around the unit. I had an older Denon that developed that same problem and I was told I should just replace it. I purchased this same unit AVRS540BT. I hope I don't have your same problem.

Q: can I use my Bluetooth alexa system and existing wired speakers with this unit

A: Yes. It pairs with Amazon Alexa and you can connect it to whatever wired speakers you want. It will not SEND Bluetooth signal to wireless speakers.

Q: will this system support wireless speakers.

A:

Hey Cookie,

No, it will not support wireless speakers.

Thanks,
Denon North America
