System Integration
The AVR-X1800H can operate as a conventional 7.2-channel surround receiver or power a 5.2.2 Dolby Atmos system using two height or Dolby Atmos-enabled speakers. Its assignable amplifier channels also support front-speaker bi-amping, a second Front B speaker pair or powered Zone 2 operation. HDMI sources, an MM turntable, optical digital equipment, USB storage and network streaming services can therefore be integrated into one compact home entertainment system.
