  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 7.1 (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: HDR, 2160 (4K) (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: If I have 4 inside speakers and 2 outside speakers all connected through the receiver, can I set up multiple zones to have them on at separate times. For example, I don’t want my outside speakers playing while I watch TV inside.

A: Yes. The outside speakers are Zone 2. The inside are Zone 1. You then select with the remote or on the front of the AVR which Zone you want to be active. The labeling at each connector on the back of the AVR and the Denon set-up guide make this a very easy process. Here's a tip. Read the set-up instructions all the way thru before starting the set-up. It is very useful, even for someone like me that was only replacing one established 7.1 AVR unit with a better, newer one. I have been very pleased with both the audio and video thru this Denon AVR.

Q: Just got this avr-s950h and got everything set up except can not get sound or pic from my nintedo wii and 64 even when following promp directions. But no prob with my ps3 and 4. Is there a problem with the unit or hook up. Any help would be great.

A: The issue you are likely having is that you are hooking up your Wii and N64 to your Denon receiver via component cables but you only have HDMI output from your Denon receiver to your TV. The Denon receiver will not convert the component input signal to HDMI so you won't get an image. You either have to connect component cables out from your Denon receiver to your TV or get a component to HDMI converter inline between your Wii and N64 and the Denon Receiver or you will have to go from N64 and Wii to your TV directly and have the TV output via HDMI or Optical to your Denon receiver. The easiest and cheapest route though is just running the component out from the receiver to the TV.

Q: Is it possible to listen via Bluetooth headphones and keep the speakers on? (My wife is hard of hearing so likes headphones while I want the speakers to stay on.)

A:

Hey Richard,

Yes, you will be able to listen to Bluetooth headphones and have your speakers on.

Thanks,
Denon North America

Q: does this unit have the ARC HDMI connection ?

A:

Hey Steve,

Yes, this unit has ARC HDMI connection.

Thanks,
Denon North America

Q: Can I output the same HDMI source to two difference TVs with both Video and Audio to both TVs via HDMI? On my current Denon AVR-X2300 I can only output A&V to one TV + Video to another TV.

A:

Hey ralexander,

Unfortunately no, the 2nd HDMI out on this receiver will only show the same video from Monitor 1 with no sound.

Thanks,
Denon North America

Q: What speakers would you recommend for this receiver?

A: That is a question for your budget. It also depends if you have speakers you can/want to keep. I have some Klipsch, Polk and my subwoofer is BIC America Formula F-12. Speakers are entirely subject for you and your budget. Has some medium and low priced speakers.

Q: I have 4 ion rock solar outdoor speakers that I connect to my iPhone . Will this receiver connect to those speakers to help with better quality and stop cutting in and out ? Can it be done with Bluetooth ?

A: I believe you're rock speaker will connect to a Denon 950 thru the Helios app on your reciever. The cutting in and out maybe due to a weak WiFi signal out side you're home. You may need to up grade you're internet router or a WiFi booster. That is my best guess. I hope this helps.

Q: Does it have eARC?

A: Hey Vinny, yes this one supports all the latest eARC features including Dolby Atmos and uncompressed, bitstream sound from any source that supports it.
