Denon AVR-X6800H 11.4 Ch. 8K AV Receiver (OPEN BOX)

Denon AVR-X6800H 11.4-Channel 8K AV Receiver

The AVR-X6800H delivers 140 watts per channel across 11 amplifier channels, bringing immersive Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced, and Auro-3D soundtracks to life while passing the latest 8K video signals. It serves as the high-performance centerpiece for home theaters, multi-room music systems, and gaming setups that demand both power and flexibility.

Surround Yourself with 3D Audio Realism

Eleven channels of amplification and processing for up to 13.4 channels let you configure speaker layouts from 7.1.4 to 9.1.4. Support for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced places voices, effects, and music in precise 3-dimensional space, creating a cohesive sound field that matches on-screen action.

Future-Ready 8K HDMI 2.1 Connectivity

All seven HDMI inputs—and two of the three HDMI outputs—handle 8K/60 Hz and 4K/120 Hz video. Key benefits include:

• HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision, and Dynamic HDR for enhanced contrast and color.
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) to eliminate screen tearing and lag during gaming.

Whole-Home Music with HEOS Built-In

HEOS technology streams high-resolution audio over Wi-Fi to compatible speakers in other rooms, letting you group zones for synchronized playback or play different music in each space. AirPlay 2, Bluetooth, and network file support extend wireless options for phones, tablets, and computers.

Room-Optimized Performance

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 measures your room and automatically corrects peaks and dips across the full frequency range, delivering balanced sound at every seat. For users seeking advanced tools, an optional Dirac Live upgrade provides additional filter precision and target-curve customization.

Engineered for Clean, Dynamic Power

Engineered for powerful and precise audio, the amplifier delivers a robust 140W per channel (8 Ω, 20–20 kHz, 0.05% THD, 2 ch driven). Denon’s proprietary AL32 Processing Multi-Channel technology enhances every input source, utilizing 32-bit expansion to suppress digital noise and reproduce low-level signals with optimum clarity. This meticulous approach reveals the most delicate nuances in music and movies across all channels, while four independent subwoofer outputs ensure the bass foundation is both powerful and evenly distributed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many speakers can I run without adding external amplification?

The AVR-X6800H powers up to 11 speakers directly. With external amps, it can process up to 13 speakers and four subwoofers.

Will it work with my existing 4K television?

Yes. The HDMI 2.1 ports are backward-compatible with 4K and 1080p displays and will upscale lower-resolution content when desired.

Do I need additional hardware for wireless multi-room audio?

No. HEOS Built-in provides multi-room streaming out of the box; simply add other HEOS-enabled speakers or components on your network.

Can I calibrate the receiver myself?

Audyssey MultEQ XT32 is included and guides you through calibration with the supplied microphone. Dirac Live requires a separate license and can be added later if you choose.
