Multi-zone Music and Video
If you're happy using fewer channels in your home theater, this receiver can power speakers in two additional zones. Denon's All Zone Stereo mode lets you play the same source in sync all around the house. The extra height channels can also be used to bi-amp a pair of compatible front speakers for a more powerful sound. A "Zone 2" HDMI output lets you watch video from two separate sources in your living room and a second room.
