Q: QuestionWhat the difference between S970H and AVR-X1800H and which do you recommend to buy?

Asked 1 year ago by TONY.

• A:Answer The main differences between the two receivers mainly lie in their features. The 970 provides an extra HDMI to connect a projector with a monitor or two monitors, while the 1800 offers Pre-output connectivity. With Pre-Outputs, you can potentially upgrade by adding a Two-Channel amplifier for the front speakers or to Zone two allowing Zone two plus 7.1 function. Additionally, the 1800 has a more advanced power supply and can handle speaker impedance swings better.

Q: QuestionI'm hoping to get some clarification on a response from the Denon Team. Does the US model for the AVR-1800H include the Front Pre-Out connections on the rear or not? I look at the picture on the Denon US website and it shows the Front Pre-Out connections

Asked 2 years ago by bobbymayyy.

• A:Answer Hello. Yes - the AVR-X1800H does have a set of pre-outs for the front left and right speakers, as suggested on the Denon US website. You may have otherwise seen a picture on of a 220V AVR-X1800H built for another market, which does not show the same layout on it's rear panel.

Q: QuestionWill this unit support 5.1 format if you only have 5 speakers and sub woofer?

Asked 2 years ago by Bernie.

• A:Answer Yes, I have a 5.1 setup and this receiver works great. You might need to adjust the levels for the rear speakers; my audyssey setup had them a tad too loud, but otherwise this produces much better sound than my previous Sony receiver.

Q: QuestionCan I connect thus avr to my smart tv with just about any hdmi cable?

Asked 5 months ago by Tom.

• A:Answer Yes, but to take full advantage of the features of this receiver you will need high-quality 8K Ultra high speed HDMI 2.2 cable. Also, "mini" and "micro" plugs would require adapters, so stick with standard plugs. The HDMI cable is often the point of failure in home theater systems, so saving a few dollars on "any old hdmi cable" is probably not the best idea when you've invested in this kind of receiver. In any case, be sure your cable is at least version 2.1 if you intend to use features like eArc (audio return). Match your cable's bandwidth with your TV's specs--many modern TVs support 4K video, for example, but you'd need 4K cable to display it.

Q: QuestionDoes this have am/fm capabilities?

Asked 1 year ago by Mario265.

• A:Answer Hello! Yes, the Denon AVR-X1800H comes with a built-in AM and FM tuner. However, please keep in mind that AM/FM signals have weakened recently, so reception may vary depending on your location. I recommend using internet radio services like TuneIn Radio for a better listening experience. Internet radio is possible using the free HEOS app.

Q: QuestionDoes this AVR have the capability to decode native DSD via HDMI input? My SACD player can send a DSD bitstream (not PCM) to AVR via HDMI if AVR can decode it.

Asked 1 year ago by Mike.

Q: QuestionCan you connect any wireless surround sound system in this unit?

Asked 2 years ago by Lefteyeyob.

• A:Answer Hello. All surround speakers need to be passive speakers and therefore hard-wired to the AVR-X1800H. Our 'Home' wireless speakers can be used with the AVR-X1800H - unfortunately, they are not able to receive a discrete surround sound feed as they are designed to receive a stereo feed from a 2 channel source in other rooms of your home.

Q: QuestionThe picture of the rear of this unit doesn't see the Pre-out for Zone2, for Front, or the CBL/SAT Digital Audio-In Coax. I've seen units labeled as AVR x1800H including, and attached the picture below. What is the difference in these units?

Asked 2 years ago by alyeska.

• A:Answer Hello. Unfortunately, the image you speak of is an error, as it represents the AVR-X1800H not built for use in the US. The US model AVR-X1800H has front left and right pre-outs, as well as a coaxial digital input.
