  • Key Specs
    • Number of Channels: 7.2 (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.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Audio Only Inputs: 1 x Coaxial digital audio, 1 x Optical digital audio, 1 x Phono
    • Network Connector(s): 1 x LAN
    • Video Pass-through: 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.)
    • Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
    • Works With: Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit (Compatible with or able to be connected to other smart devices or applications.)

    • High Resolution Audio: true (Hear music the way musicians and sound technicians intended it to be heard. Products that support hi-res audio deliver audio signals with a dynamic range and bandwidth far greater than that of a standard CD so you'll be able to enjoy pure music with outstanding sound quality. The device supports high-resolution audio signals, which more closely resemble the quality of music as it was originally recorded, with more texture and detail than can be heard via typical music streaming services or CDs.)
    • Number of Audio Zones: 2 (Audio zones, typically designated by rooms in a home, are areas in which all speakers are dependent on the same sound source. Whether a zone encompasses one or multiple rooms, the receiver or preamp/processor is used to control all aspects of its audio and is able to select which zones receive sound.)
    • Number of Audio Zone Source Outputs: 2 (Multiple source outputs from the receiver mean different speakers are able to receive different sound sources from the receiver or preamp/processor. For every output, a different sound source can be accessed simultaneously in different zones. For example, two source outputs could be a streaming media player in one room and a Blu-ray player in another.)
    • Surround Sound Supported: DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS:X, DTS Neural:X, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos (Surround sound systems use multiple audio channels and speakers to create an immersive sound experience for the listener. There are also various proprietary technologies that imitate this kind of sound via a device's built-in speakers or soundbar.)
    • Maximum Sampling Rate Supported: 5.6 MHz (DSD 128) (Generally, the higher the sampling rate, the greater the quality of audio and/or video.)
    • Supported File Formats: AAC, FLAC, MP3, WMA, ALAC

Q: does it have HDCP 2.2

A: No. It has HDCP 2.3

Q: In addition to providing 5.1 Home Theater to Zone 1, I would like to play Cable Channel audio to patio speakers. Does this model allow HDMI audio to feed Zone 2 and can I then turn off Zone 1 and just feed Zone 2?

A: Yes and no. You can use the AVR's All Zone Stereo feature (OPTION button on remote) to output an HDMI audio feed to the patio speakers for Zone 2. However, if you power off the Main Zone, then Zone 2 powers off as well. A workaround would be to just lower the volume for the Main Zone as that will not affect Zone 2.

Q: What’s the best way to connect to smart TVs to use surround sound on Samsung 4K QLED tv apps such as Prime Video and Netflix? Already have HDMI 4K cable from Directv box to AVR then another one to TV for Satellite TV service.

A: For Smart TV Apps, use the AVR's ARC (Audio Return Channel) feature. To enable this in the AVR, access the GUI and select Video - HDMI Control - On. This should also enable the ARC menu option. From the TV's menu, enable the Samsung's AnyNet+. Just make sure the HDMI cable you're using from the AVR to the Samsung is plugged into the TV's designated ARC input. The AVR will then switch to "TV Audio" source when playing back Apps from the Samsung.

Q: can this receiver run a separate amp. i want to eventually run a 7.2.4 setup

A: The AVRX1600H only has pre outs for zone 2 and subwoofers. Consider the Denon AVRX3700H. The AVRX3700H is a 9.2 receiver that can expand to a 11ch (7.2.4) with the addition of a 2 ch external amp.

Q: Does this AV Receiver's (HDMI in to out) video-pass Dolby Vision format? The specs list only mention HDR and HDR10, I'm hoping the editor just forgot to list it.

A: Yes, the X1600H does support DV pass through. It's listed on the X1600H's website page under HDMI Specifications.

Q: Can my Parasound 2100 preamp be connected to this? I am thinking no, if not which model would have line level preout jacks

A: The X1600H and X2700H have a dedicated Zone 2 pre-out, but the X3700H is the first AVR in the lineup to give you a Main Zone pre-out section.
