- Answer Hi Harry, Very much so. The handset for the AVR-S970H has sound mode buttons at the bottom. Press the red button until you have selected 'Multi Ch Stereo' and all three speakers will be simultaneously utilized with any source content.

Questionwill this pair with klipsch rw-51 m speakers?I havw an axiim wireless transmitter
Asked 1 year ago by wheels.
- Answer Hello, after researching the Axiim, I found that the Denon AVR-S970H is likely incompatible with it. The Axiim seems to be compatible only with 2019 LG OLED or NanoCell TVs, as well as with the Xbox One, PC, or Mac. I recommend reaching out to Axiim for verification.

QuestionCan this device use a Sonos port and be turned on by the Sonos app?
Asked 1 year ago by Bmoc22.
- Answer Hello. The AVR-S970H does not connect wirelessly with Sonos product. For the best sonic results, we recommend use of our Wireless HEOS speakers for sound in rooms other than the Main Zone. Operation of the AVR-S970H via your mobile device would be the work of the HEOS app or/and the Denon AV app, both of which are available through your app store of choice. The Sonos app does not operate Denon AV receivers.

QuestionWhat speakers do recommend and how watts for this unit.
Asked 1 year ago by Tony.
- Answer Hello, and thank you for your inquiry. Many different speakers will pair well with the Denon AVR-S970H receiver. When choosing speakers, consider the room size and configuration (in-ceiling, in-wall, bookshelf, or floor-standing). We have found that speaker brands such as Polk Audio, Definitive Technology, and Bowers & Wilkins all pair wonderfully with Denon receivers.

QuestionHow many watts for the subwoofer is it capable of ?
Asked 1 year ago by Dalton.
- Answer Hello. As with all modern AVR's, the AVR-S970 has a line-up (non-powered) subwoofer feed. This is because most modern subwoofers are highly variable in their power requirements and subsequently have their own amplifier built-in. Therefore, the wattage rating you seek is found in the specifications of the powered subwoofer. If you have a passive subwoofer (typically for in-wall use for those looking to save space), we recommend speaking with the manufacturer of that subwoofer about which optional power amplifier would be suitable to drive it.

Questiondoes the Denon avr-s970h support the rocket fish wireless speaker kit ? we have hooked it up in zone 2, but we do not get any sound out of the speakers as we did with our old denon system help these are our outdoor speakers and summer is here !
Asked 1 year ago by jebg.
- Answer Hello. The first thing to do is check in the menu of the AVR-S970H to make sure Zone 2 speakers have been assigned: Settings > Manual Set-up > Speaker Layout > Amp Assign > 5.1ch + Zone 2 If you have selected Zone 2 and then selected your playback source with content playing (it's a good idea to try more than one source when trouble-shooting), you should have sound. If you do not have sound at this point, I suggest trouble-shooting the wireless speaker kit. You may need to speak with Best Buy about how to trouble-shoot the Rocketfish kit you have.

QuestionCan I connect a Music Hall USB-1 turntable, two Tascam CD players/recorders, and a Pioneer RT-1020L reel to reel tape deck and my 55 inch TV with Dish Network box?
Asked 2 years ago by Freddie.
- Answer There is a Phono input via RCA jacks and an additional 4 assignable RCA Audio In jacks. However, there are no Audio Out jacks on this receiver, so you could connect your CD players and reel to reel for playback but not for recording. There are 2 HDMI monitor connectors for connecting your TV and there are 6 assignable HDMI input connectors. You could connect your DISH Network box to one of those, assuming you have HDMI out from your box. If not, it could be connected to one of the Audio In.
