• PERFECT SET-UP FROM THE START

  The AVC-X8500H easily guides you through the set-up process to ensure the most accurate configuration and lets you optimise all settings for the best possible sound and video quality. The most advanced Audyssey MultEQ XT32 room measurement system guarantees the best sound in every room.

• AL32 Processing

  AL32 multi-channel processing is designed to provide ultra-high-resolution digital audio filtering and precision for all audio channels, delivering a natural soundstage with enhanced imaging. For content recorded in multi-channel, such as Blu-ray discs, the recorded low frequency effects (LFE) may be out of sync and delayed; Bass Sync technology corrects such a delay of low frequency effects for an enhanced audio experience.

• 32-Bit D/A Conversion

  The Denon AVR-X8500H features 32-bit AKM AK4490EQ D/A converters on all channels to help provide consistent high-fidelity and precise channel matching.
