It supports Dolby and DTS surround sound decoding, ensuring immersive audio experiences. With Dolby Atmos processing, the receiver works with in-ceiling or height speakers, enabling 3D sound placement for more enveloping surround sound. It also supports various Atmos setups like 5.1.2, 5.1.4, and 7.1.2, allowing for flexible speaker configurations.

Additionally, the receiver offers analog-to-HDMI video conversion and upscales SD content to HD or 4K for superior video quality.
Audio Calibration and Optimization
For enhanced sound accuracy, the AVR-X4500H includes Audyssey MultEQ XT32 speaker calibration, which automatically adjusts audio settings for up to eight seating positions in the room. This ensures balanced, dynamic sound and optimal surround performance. Dynamic Volume technology smooths out fluctuations in volume, keeping levels consistent even when there are loud moments. Meanwhile, Dynamic EQ improves bass response and dialogue clarity at lower volumes, while Sub EQ HT specifically calibrates dual subwoofers to provide an even bass response across the room.
