Soundbars and bases offer a great step-up over your TV’s speakers but they still can’t beat the immersive sound of an AV receiver like this Denon AVR-X250BT. With 5.1 channel Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, you get surround sound that’s pin-sharp in detail and totally enveloping – just like at the cinema.

 

Denon is one of the world’s leading audio companies, so it’s no surprise to find the AVRX250BT sounds so good. At the heart of this Denon AV receiver is discrete, high-current amplification. By using discrete (separate) components rather than an integrated chip (IC), quality components can be used for a more detailed and lower distortion sound. Packing 70 watts per channel, the AVR-X250BT delivers the dynamics your favourite movies deserve.

 

With a total of five HDMI inputs, the AVR-X250BT has your system covered. Three of the inputs are compatible with HDCP2.2 protection and advanced formats, including HDR and HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma). This means you get excellent compatibility with the latest UHD Blu-ray players and HDR TVs.

 

It's not just the latest video sources that are catered for, the AVRX250BT has your audio gear and older AV kit covered, too. There are two analogue and two optical digital inputs – ideal for connecting a games console, set-top TV box, CD player and other source.

 

With Bluetooth on-board you can stream music wirelessly. Simply pair up with your device and stream your stored music and favourite streaming services such as Spotify and Deezer.

 

Sometimes the sound you prefer from your TV is different to that from playing films on your Blu-ray player. Denon have thought of this and provide four Quick Select buttons for just this scenario. Program your ideal audio and EQ settings for each of the four inputs and recall them when you change inputs – at the touch of a button.
