QuestionMy speakers use wires, not RCA jacks. Is there a way to make these work?
Asked 3 years ago by BLK.
- Answer Yes. You can unscrew/release the speaker connection, slide the wire in and tighten to secure. I have banana plugs for the speaker and bare wire for the receiver.

QuestionWill this DRA-800H unit power JBL 4 ohm loud speakers ?
Asked 3 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Hello and thank you for the question. The Denon DRA-800H should have no trouble at all driving a pair of JBL speakers as the DRA-800H is 4ohm stable. Most JBL speakers tend to be highly efficient speakers making them easier to drive.

QuestionI’m using a TEAC tape deck with my Denon DRAa 800h Playback is fine but I can’t get line out from the receiver to record from it. What can I do?
Asked 2 years ago by Martini.
- Answer Hi Martini, The record out feature can be found on our integrated amplifiers, but the DRA-800H does not have this feature. The closest to such a port on the DRA-800H is the Zone 2 pre-out. As this is not a line level output port, it is affected by the DRA-800H's volume control (which can work as a secondary record level if used to feed a cassette deck's line-in). Connect the Zone 2 output of the DRA-800H to your cassette deck's Line-in port, select Zone 2 with your DRA-800H remote control, then select the source you wish to record from with the same remote control. This should allow you to record from any 2 channel source.

QuestionDescribe CD PLAYER connection....it seems to be lacking play out/rec in?
Asked 4 years ago by Soupman4u.
- Answer Unfortunately, today's receivers don't include a Record Out function as the use of that technology has diminished greatly. The workaround here with the DRA-800H is to use the analog Zone 2 pre-out to your Teak's input. To do this properly, you would have to set the DRA's Zone 2 pre-out to a fixed level (i.e. 80) in the menu. (General - Zone 2 Setup - Volume Level)

Questioncan i hook up a equalizer to this receiver??
Asked 4 years ago by cosby1963.
- Answer Only if you connect the EQ inline with a specific source. None of our DRA or AVR models today have an EQ loop (Pre-out / Main In) or a Tape loop as that technology is not widely used anymore.

QuestionSo if my IPhone 6s is bluetooth 4.0, it will not work with this receiver, because it is 4.1. Is that an accurate statement?
Asked 4 years ago by Robbie.
- Answer I happened to have an old i-phone 6s and it pairs instantly with the Denon. Keep in mind, even the newest apple devices won't stream most hi-rez audio with bluetooth, the highest they'll stream is 24/44.1khz. You're better off using the HEOS app, especially if you're streaming Amazon Ultra HD or Tidal.
