QuestionCan my Windows 10 PC with HDMI output be used to play DVDs, Blu-Rays, or music through this unit to a Samsung 4K TV? Can I just use the TV as a 4K monitor through this unit?
Asked 4 years ago by SaltWater25.
- Answer Hello, as long as the Windows 10 is outputting the correct signal, then yes you can use the PC as a source. Please consult the PC manufacturer. The AVR-S540BT receiver will pass through signals to the TV without any upscaling. If upscaling is required please consider the AVR-S960H.

QuestionI have Bose 901 speakers that operate with an equalizer. Will my equalizer connect and operate with this receiver?
Asked 4 years ago by Rockman34.
- Answer No, as our AVRs do not have a Pre-Out/Main In combo to loop the Bose EQ. You can connect the EQ inline with a specific source if needed. (Source -> EQ -> AVR)

QuestionWhat is the Total Harmonic Distortion?
Asked 4 years ago by JRT65.
- Answer At any rational volume level THD runs less than 0.08%. What I suggest you really concern yourself with is the efficiency and impedence of your loudspeakers - receivers in this price class do not handle low impedence speaker loads well (under 6 ohms) - so be careful. And most speakers, even ones rated at 8 ohms, typically dip to less than 4 ohms in the upper bass and lower midrange. You'll be OK if you don't overdo volume levels, but if you like to play things really loud, you should step up to a more powerful unit (like the Denon AVR-X3700H). In the end you get what you pay for.

QuestionI HAVE BOSE AM-5 FRONT SPEAKERS RATED AT 4 OHMS CAN I SAFELY USE THIS RECEIVER?
Asked 4 years ago by GOOSE.
- Answer Sure. This AVR can handle a 4 ohm load, but make sure to leave plenty of space above the unit to allow the extra heat to dissipate.

QuestionWhen I pair my receiver with my IMAC computer or my Android phone the audio is a little behind the video. How do I fix that?
Asked 4 years ago by jake.
- Answer This happens because the audio is processing at a different rate than the video. You can try putting the AVR in Direct mode as that will bypass the internal processing.

QuestionWhat is the impedance of this unit? What ohm?
Asked 4 years ago by BBerry.
- Answer The S540BT is rated to handle 6 or 8 ohm rated speakers. At 8 ohms, the AVR outputs at 70W per channel. At 6 ohms, the AVR outputs at 90 W per channel.

QuestionIf I purchase this receiver, does it need to be turned on all the time, to hear and see the picture from the high definition tv?
Asked 4 years ago by Billyboy.
- Answer Not at all. The AVR has an HDMI Pass Through feature that allows for a source device's video and audio to pass to the TV directly while the AVR is in Standby. (Off)

QuestionWhat are best subwoofers for this dennon receiver?
Asked 4 years ago by Danadane.
- Answer I would recommend you look into Polk Audio or Definitive Technology, but any powered sub will do. The sub connects to the AVR's Subwoofer pre-out on the rear panel.

QuestionI purchased a YaberV6 projector(no opticalport) and a Sam HW-Q60T BT Soundbar with an optical port & FireTV Cube. Even at 100% volume on the bar, its doesn't produce the high volume output I'd expect. Does this receiver work w/the soundbar at 5.1?
Asked 4 years ago by HDB007.
- Answer Your soundbar is powered by itself. You may be able to connect your soundbar in parallel, but this amplifier will not affect the sound of the bar at all. Your soundbar does not accept speaker-level inputs. This amplifier should be paired with unpowered speakers - front-right, front-left, and center channel at minimum, and add a self-powered subwoofer. Add 2 rear channel speakers (also unpowered) for full surround.

QuestionI have surround sound system built in home, 6 speakers in ceiling. I have 6 wires coming out the wall. Each wire has a red and black wire. Based on the back of this receiver I only have one red spot where do I put all the wires at?
Asked 5 years ago by CLL.
- Answer Each speaker has a positive (red) and negative (black) wire. The AVR uses clip connectors. (red for + and black for -) Each speaker will connect to the corresponding red (positive) and black (negative) terminal. The S540BT only supports up to 5 speaker connections. (FL, FR, C, SL, SR) If the 6th speaker is a passive subwoofer, then a sub amp will be needed in conjunction with that passive woofer.

QuestionDoes this receiver default to the tv setting when powered down if you have been watching catv/ sat.
Asked 5 years ago by Cork.
- Answer Yes, it will go back to the last source used when powered back on. If you notice that the AVR is switching to the "TV Audio" source instead when powering on, then try disabling the CEC option in the TV. TV Audio is the source used for ARC and the TV is sending a CEC command to the receiver to tell it to switch to the TV Audio source.

QuestionDoes this receiver display menus (e.g. volume meter, set up meters) over a 4k signal? Or will it only display menus over 1080p signals?
Asked 5 years ago by Grix.
- Answer You should be able to get the OSD setup menu to come up on a 4K display as well as the ECO meter, Volume meter and any other meta data.

QuestionI have an older Panasonic TV. Will I get the best results if I just leave my mode on Direct? Mostly just use my Roku Streaming Stick.
Asked 5 years ago by Roach.
- Answer Direct Mode is for audio. It bypasses any internal audio processing in the AVR to provide an unprocessed source signal for 2 channel output. I would leave the AVR in Auto Mode for the Roku source so you can decode Dolby and DTS surround formats.

QuestionDoes Denon has microphone jack with their receiver?
Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Yes, the S540BT has a mic input for the included calibration microphone. You cannot connect a mic as an input source directly. (i.e. for Karaoke) That type of mic application would need to go through a mixer first.
