Flexible surround sound configurations

Every room and system comes together differently.

Start with a simple layout and add speakers over time, choosing the configuration that best fits your listening preferences. It’s all about balancing performance and flexibility without locking you into a single approach.

Support for high-definition picture

The AVR-X2900H supports modern 4K and 8K video formats for films, shows, and games, with Dolby Vision technology for rich colour, contrast, and detail. For HD sources such as non-Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, built-in upscaling enhances detail and clarity when viewed on today’s higher-resolution TVs. Upscaled video is optimised for both 4K and 8K displays, helping legacy content look sharper and more refined while preserving the richness, colour, and contrast of high-definition media.

With TV, gaming consoles, and streaming sources connected through a single 4K/8K-ready hub, everything works as part of one cohesive setup. Advanced HDMI connectivity supports high-resolution video and fast-moving visuals and streamlines connectivity, making setup straightforward and everyday use effortless.

Optimise sound for your space

Every room impacts sound differently. The AVR-X2900H includes Audyssey room correction tools, featuring MultEQ XT, Dynamic EQ, and Dynamic Volume, to align speaker levels, timing, and balance for your space. Using the included microphone, Audyssey measures each speaker and optimises system response, delivering clear dialogue, cohesive surround sound, and properly balanced effects. For expanded control, the AVR-X2900H supports an optional upgrade to Dirac Live Room Correction.
