Great review. As for the channel setup. Phil from Sound United has clarified this. From my vantage point the issue is how people describe their systems. Signal wise Dolby, DTS-X and Auro3d are x.1.x. Now DTS Pro X supports an x.2.x signal configuration but I’m not sure if studios are going to support 2 separate LFE channels. Manufacturers including Denon advertise independent “channels” available for connection. So even though the signal is x.1.x the available physical connections can be up to an x.2.x. But I think we all understand or should understand that when a person is describing there speaker layout they are speaking about the number of speakers they have,(which is why most but not all people say the word setup after they say the speaker layout) and not the signal source of their receiver. Some purist believe and even Phil states this that the correct way to say it is “I have a x.1/2.x system with 2, 4, 8, etc subwoofers”. One day soon there maybe DTS-X Pro content with 2 separate LFE information signals and only then will it become important to specify whether your “system” supports .2 LFE signals and not just have .2 physical outputs. Also on the Sound United KZread channel he goes in-depth on HDMI 2.1 features including QFT. Sorry for the long post. Keep up the great work!

Scott Tilden I agree partly. DTS - X Pro supports two LFE channels. But I do agree we probably won’t see any content for it for awhile if ever. As far as multiple subs go I incompletely disagree with you there. Most of us don’t have professionally built rooms and multiple subs do so much too even out the bass response in multiple seating rooms. And I disagree with the belief manufactures believe multiple subs are pointless because I know for a fact that Sound United, Trinnov and other believe in multiple subs and bass management for multiple subs.

Brother that was an awesome unboxing. I really had considered buying this one myself. I love your tangents and you keep doing them. Your comments on the whole 11.2 discussion is good. I had people correcting me on my videos about my setup. I get it and I understand and we don’t need to overthink any of this stuff. I can tell you where it all started too. I’m glad to see you getting back into the swing of things. You were the first person I subscribed to on KZread considering him theater. Great channel brother.

Also on the 8500, Denon will replace the HDMI board with an 8K board supposedly for $100 if you ship it in. That basically updates it to an 8700. They will ship soon with the AK HDMI boards and will be called the 8500ah or something like that

Beware that the output signal clips at 1.4 volts, meaning that ideally one would want to match it with an amp with an input sensitivity of 1.1 volts. You are not getting enough juice otherwise. If so, just go full pre-amp mode and assign external dedicated power to all channels. Pre-amp mode gives you at least 4 volts which is plenty to power most amps.

I really liked your presentation. Thank you for your input.

Happy to see u again.... Luv frm India 😍

The AVC 8500 already has the pre amp mode. The lower 500 models didn't have it but now do. What you didn't adress was the possibilty to save 2 different configs, for example when you do the audyssey messurements for daytime viewing with your TV setup and night time with closed curtains and different accoustics.

Ahhh dang. You are right. I wrote notes on my iMac. I missed that.

Having multiple subwoofers will help with better sound across all seats, and the reason is room modes. Room modes will generally be more noticeable with low frequencies, If you have a single subwoofer I suggest you play (for example) a 60Hz test tone and walk around in your room, you may notice that the sound is probably louder in some areas and quieter in other. A second (Or 3rd, 4th...) subwoofer may help quite a bit and having an amplifier with 2 subwoofer outputs that can be calibrated independently will help even more (Not all amplifiers have independent subwoofer outputs). So even tho the LFE signal is mono and the subwoofers may receive the 'same' signal, the signal for each subwoofer may be equalized with a different frequency curve. So it's not pointless, and if you want to learn more about room modes, speaker placement, multiple subwoofers...etc, I suggest you have a look at Home Theater Gurus channel kzread.info/dron/wxr5jJUgORcMS9FmIaH1jQ.htmlvideos

Nice unboxing and a Nice talk 😘

Antennae! Haha. I learned something today :)

One of the gratest things about DTS X PRO/AURO 3D, if you have the 13.1 layout installed as they say, it's the fact that you can use a height center channel. This was inspired from IMAX theatres where you have a huge screen and they need two center speakers, one placed under the screen and one height center to be able to place the voice of the actors in the middle of the screen. Also they are able to move objects , including voice, directly on the screen and place them exactly where you see them. Atmos can't do that as it's not able to work with such layout. If you think about it, DTS X PRO and AURO 3D are placing a lot of speakers in front of the cinema (you have the classic Left , Rright, Center and you also have right height, left height and center height), so you have 6 speakers in front instead of 3. Sure, atmos have more speakers on ceilling than DTS X PRO and Auro but how many sounds come from above you? The vast majority of the action takes place front, not above. Fair enough, this only makes sense if you have a large screen and you stay relatively close to it, like you would in IMAX theatre. If you stay far away, having two center channels (one under and another above the screen) won't help.

What would you get with a processor except from the balanced outputs with the new preamp mode though? By the way.. The internal amplifiers are not turned off. They are just disconnected (and are still idling).

Antennae! Finally! you made my day 🙂

Hey, subscriber here! Just curious I have this avr and I'm curious if I can hook my gaming monitor up and play while also using my projector while watching a movie? I've been trying to control the second zone, it's tough. Thank you

Why do people want to watch somebody taking an AV unit out of a cardboard box and looking at a piece of paper..Talking about the unit is why I sometimes watch these videos.Most tell you the exact same stupid things.I want to know the sound quality the speaker configuration to get all the formats this unit offers.This is predominately a sound amplifier and nobody makes much reference to how it sounds.I don’t want to know about Amazon Electra.I must say your review is the best I’ve seen on this unit and you covered most points..Good review without the unboxing.

Totally agree with you about the 5.1/5.2 topic. Now there are unhappy people, as today, there is no such of thing as stereo subwoofers.

Thinking about ordering the 4700 but seeing lots of videos of buggy receivers. Have you had any issues? When do the new receivers usually drop (what month). Should I wait or just buy?

Show 👏👏👏👏

Thanks for the overview. I am looking at a 3700 or 4700 (well likely wait a year for something with more than just the one 8k input) but want to do 11.2 (4 ceiling speakers) but you mentioned how the power output is 70 percent what is listed so I'm debating getting a 2 or 3 channel amp for my LR or LCR. Any recommendations that won't break the bank and still provide more than what the Denon would offer. Thanks

4700H is awesome and enough i have pre order 4700h + preamp = 13.2 channel 👍🤪🇳🇱

I just ordered one from Crutchfield for $1990. Denon ran out on their web site. It is now discontinued. I can't wait to set it up. It is replacing my Sony that is over 30 years old. I also just bought a Sony xr a80l tv. I guess I'm 3 years behind. I'm 68 years old and can't hear anything over 8K. This will probably be my last upgrade.

So can I turn off the front speakers on this AVR and use my HiFi amp to drive them via the front pre outs as that has an input to allow the AVR to control the volume and can I use those (height front wide pre outs) to drive a second amp with the same volume control feature so that I can fit some wide fronts into my 7.1.4 system therefore making it a 9.1.4 system. The layout is Dolby Atmos 7.1.4 as per there manual with the 4 speakers built into the ceiling, my room is long and I have already had to change the built in rears to larger speakers to help with sound steering, the steering of sound between the fronts and the wide's needs some filling in and I see this as a way to achieve that. Pioneer SC LX59, Musical Fidelity M3si, Monitor Audio Speakers.

Did 4700 have the same control to internal amplifier..

Will you recommend this over the Arcam AVR30 AV Receiver ?

The HDMI 2.1 chipset is having issues with certain 4k and 8k sources and is a known issue. It is also not a full 48 Gbps chip. Perhaps in the 2021 or 2022 models (some AV models are now refreshed every two years) there will be multiple 48 Gbps ports. If you do not expect to use 4k 120 fps or 8k source media for some time, then this chip glitch won't affect you. It will be receiving a DTS: X Pro update as well.

Hi Yusuf I also have the Sony STR 1080 and I've owned the Denon 6500, hence the reason why I'm now purchasing the Denon 6700 I'm surprised the hear you state that the Sony STR gets very hot because I have my Sony sometimes running 8-12 hrs and plus its in a cabinet and I never experienced it getting v hot I occasionally check it and even though it's very warm which is normal by the way! I've never in-counted the sony getting hot! Now as far as the Denon is concerned that gets quite hot in comparison with the Sony! My experiences with the Denon 6500 is that it got so hot that I was an able to keep my hand on it for more than a few seconds, even though I was a little concerned I wasn't overly worried, my solution was to keep the cabinet door open and occasionally check it when I was playing it for long periods! After owning the Denon 6500 for more than 3 months they allowed me to return it but I'm going to try again with the new Denon 6700. Mushiiyat allah I'm hoping it was just a fault with that Denon 6500 otherwise I'll be returning the Denon 6700 as well! My tip to you my brother...when you audition the Denon do not take any stickers off the chassis and be very careful when unboxing, that way if it does not meet your aspirations you will able to return it!!!

I don't understand why they have to throw 8k in home theater equipment and add significant cost when it will be years before there is anything 8k material to watch, not that the human eye will even be able to detect the improvement. Give me a 13 channel receiver without 8k or Imax or the unneeded software that almost nobody uses and sell it for a reasonable price.

Doesn't this have the Panasonic chip that's been giving so much grief to people?

I get the argument with the single LFE channel, but really it's all about industry standards. If the companies are now calling them .2 if they have 2 subs, then that has become the industry standard. It's like the arguments against words not being real words like "ain't". If the word becomes standard, it's part of the language. So if .2 meaning 2 sub outputs has become standard, then accept it. Take it to mean what it does, and don't worry about it.
