Well, as the name implies this is an AVR or audio\/video receiver with X2800H as its model number.<\/p>\n<p>The function of an AVR, for those who are less familiar, is to receive and process signals from various input sources and deliver them to connected output devices. Often AVRs will amplify and enhance the audio and video signals before sending them out to compatible devices like speakers, turntables, TVs, or projectors. They&#8217;re an excellent tool for the centre of home cinemas and gaming set-ups.<\/p>\n<p>More specifically, the Denon AVR-X2800H is a 7.2-channel AVR, meaning it can channel signals to seven speakers and two further subwoofers. This is in addition to the plethora of connectivity options found on the front <em>and<\/em> back of the AVR-X2800H. We&#8217;ll discuss such connectivity in greater detail a little further down the line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Setting up the Denon AVR-X2800H&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Setting_up_the_Denon_AVR-X2800H\"><\/span>Setting up the Denon AVR-X2800H<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unboxing\"><\/span>Unboxing<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-18741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.av.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Denon-AVR-X2800H-black-box-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Denon AVR-X2800H package\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Even from within its box, the AVR-X2800H leaves a great first impression. FSC-certified packaging is just one of the extra touches put in by Denon to declare their attention to detail and to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Once inside the box, we find that, alongside the glorious AVR-X2800H itself, Denon has supplied a remote control, antennas, cables, and several useful guides for getting started. Provided you already have any speakers, devices, and their respective cables to hand, you&#8217;ll be ready to start right away.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set-Up_Menu\"><\/span>Set-Up Menu<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get into the nitty-gritty of the Denon AVR-X2800H&#8217;s improvements, starting with its new set-up features.<\/p>\n<p>First and foremost, Denon have <em>finally<\/em> upgraded to a 1080p display! For what felt like forever, their AVR menus featured a display resolution of 720p; kind of bizarre given the AVR itself was capable of 8K video. With this eagerly awaited upgrade, Denon fans will be glad to know the brand have caught up to their competitors once again.<\/p>\n<p>The set-up menu itself has been improved with details like the background watermark, new graphics, and sharper images and text all-round. Moreover, you can access the user manual digitally from the AVR itself via a QR code or web address. This makes it a little bit easier to refer back to the instructions when paper guides are lost or discarded.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Web_User_Interface\"><\/span>Web User Interface<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>To the delight of many Denon AVR fans, the user setup experience has been made more accessible and convenient. Now, rather than getting a hold of your IP address or turning on your TV, you can access the graphical user interface (GUI) on personal devices like phones or tablets.<\/p>\n<p>This is accessible with Denon&#8217;s AVR Remote app which features a new &#8216;web control&#8217; button. Navigate to the icon with three stacked dashes and select &#8216;web control&#8217; from the drop-down options.

Transmitting sound from one place to another has never been easier.<\/p>\n<p>Other audio features include Bluetooth 4.0 with high resolution up to 24 bits at 96 kHz and ARC and eARC compatibility with bandwidth support up to 40 Gbps.
