Full Description
2016 Best Home Cinema Amplifier Under £500 & Readers Award!
“"The big question is whether the 2300 is better than its predecessor... we’re pleased to report that the new amplifier is notably cleaner sounding. It picks up a greater amount of low-level detail and is more precise with it. Voices come through with improved clarity and precision. One of the biggest upgrades is at bass frequencies where the 2300 sounds far tauter and more agile, making the older model sound a tad soft and ill-defined in comparison."
Best HT Receiver 2016-2017
"... it’s the sound performance that really impresses. This is an AV receiver that’s as comfortable handling low-level subtleties as it is room-filling dynamics, and Dolby Atmos decoding is on hand to bring the 3D surround experience from premium cinemas to your home"
The Denon AVR-X2300W incorporates all the features of its predecessor with added benefits such as the very latest audio and video technologies. X2300W delivers incredibly immersive surround sound, optimised via extensive sound tuning, not to mention plenty of amplifier power. It has Dolby Atmos decoding and processing, for the same revolutionary 3D surround sound found in premium movie theatres. You will be able to decode DTS:X soundtracks via a future firmware update, for complete three dimensional surround compatibility.
Latest HDMI 2.0a Connectivity / HDCP 2.2 Compatible / ISF-Certified
With no fewer than eight HDMI inputs (including one located on the front panel), along with dual HDMI outputs, the AVR-X2300W's advanced video section features the latest HDMI specifications, including 4K Ultra HD 60Hz video, 4:4:4 Pure Colour sub-sampling, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and 21:9 video, 3D, and BT.2020 pass-through support on every input. The AVR-X2300W also features HDCP 2.2 compatibility, a requirement for 4K Ultra HD copy-protected content, ensuring ready for the next generation of Blu-ray disc players, set-top boxes and other 4K Ultra HD sources. In addition, the video processor can also upscale digital SD and HD video to 4K Ultra HD. Certified by the Imaging Science Foundation, the AVR-X2300W features a full suite of video calibration controls (for use by an ISF technician).
Built In Bluetooth & Wi-Fi
Featuring Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless streaming connectivity, the AVR-X2300W is equipped with an advanced dual antenna system for robust and error-free streaming even in congested urban environments. Connected to the Internet through your home Wi-Fi network (or with a hard-wired connection via the RJ-45 Ethernet LAN port), it allows you to enjoy your favourite tracks from streaming music services such as Spotify Connect. You can also choose from thousands of Internet radio stations from around the world, and enjoy music and speech entertainment of virtually every genre. AirPlay lets you play your favourite tracks wirelessly from your iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, and via network streaming you can listen to music files stored on your home PC or Mac, or NAS devices. The Denon 2016 AVR Remote App lets you control the AVR-X2300W with your smartphone or table over a network connection. It's available for iOS, Android, and for the Kindle Fire.
Dolby Atoms
Dolby's revolutionary Dolby Atmos technology dispenses with the channel-based surround sound coding used for decades, in favour of advanced object-based coding, giving the sound designer the ability to place sounds precisely anywhere in the three-dimensional sound space. Now you can enjoy this award-winning technology at home with the AVR-X2300W, which features the ability to connect a 5.1 surround sound speaker system and 2 additional overhead speakers or 2 additional Dolby Atmos-certified elevation speakers for the ultimate home cinema experience
DTS:X
The latest immersive surround sound system, DTS:X features similar object-based audio coding, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience. (DTS:X will be enabled via future firmware update). This includes both Dolby Surround and Neural:X up mixing: users with a '3D' sound speaker set-up are able to get an enhanced surround experience from conventional Dolby- or DTS-encoded content, or even music in stereo, using the full set of speakers installed in the listening room.
High Resolution Audio
Discover the incredible fidelity of high resolution audio tracks with the AVR-X2300W's ability to decode up to 24-bit/192-kHz lossless files (AIFF, FLAC and WAV; ALAC/Apple Lossless to 24-bit/96kHz), as well as DSD 2.8MHz (the audiophile format of SACD) and now 5.6MHz. Play them from memory devices via the front panel USB, or from network sources. The AVR-X2300W will also play lossy file types such as MP3.
Powerful 7ch w/ Eco Mode
Featuring high current discrete power output devices on all seven channels, the AVR-X2300W is rated at 150 watts per channel. It's also equipped with high-current low impedance drive capability, for compatibility with the widest range of loudspeaker models (down to 4 ohms). The Eco mode adjusts the power amplifier's output according to the volume level to reduce power consumption, with an on-screen Eco meter providing real-time monitoring of the power-saving.
Smart TV Connectivity
Using the HDMI CEC (consumer electronics control) functionality provided on some Smart TVs, it's possible to control Denon receivers with the TV's remote handset. Set the receiver's "HDMI control" to ON, choose the "Smart Menu" receiver control functions on the TV, and the Smart Menu home screen allows direct access to a range of receiver functions including source and surround mode, the main set up menu, and the Smart Select 'one-touch' pre-sets.
Multi-Source / Multi-Room
With the AVR-X2300W it's possible to enjoy 5.1-channel surround in one room, while another 'zone' plays another source - such as CD or streaming audio. You can simply connect a pair of stereo speakers to the multi-room amplified outputs. Or, connect a separate stereo amp and speakers to the Zone 2 pre-outs, allowing full 5 channel surround sound in the main room with stereo in the second.
