Review: A great audio product - made in Japan. - Finally, I have the Denon AVR-X8500HA receiver installed and working properly - after it was delivered about a week ago. Some background: I've had a home theater for more than 20 years - and have upgraded components occasionally over this time. I've been looking for a new home theater receiver for about 3 years. My sights were set on the Denon AVR-X8500H model - but then, I heard about some video-related issues, and decided to wait for the fix to come out. When the fix was released, the receiver was re-designated as the AVR-X8500HA. The updated receiver was priced a little higher than the first edition of this receiver, so I continued to wait for the price to come down. Denon has now released the successor flagship model, the AVR-A1H - which officially replaces the AVR-X8500HA. So now, we're finally seeing better prices on the AVR-X8500HA - and I decided to go ahead and order one from desertcart. Of course, this receiver does everything I need it to do. I have it configured in a 7.2 speaker arrangement. I have it connected to a 4K TV, a 2K projector, a 4K Blu-ray player, a CD player, a Roku Ultra, a 2K cable TV box, a 2K laptop computer, and an FM antenna. The receiver is plugged into my home network - so it can find and use my music server, and I can cast music from my phone to the receiver over the DLNA or Bluetooth protocols. I also use the receiver's Zone 2 to distribute analog stereo music to other parts of the house, and that is working fine, too. Review: Build quality is excellent. Music and video quality are also excellent. Remote control is pretty good - and has all the functions I need. This receiver replaces my 11 year-old Pioneer SC-68 home theater receiver - which has found a new life in another part of the house. A word of advice: The Denon AVR-X8500HA is a 52 lb. receiver, so be prepared for some heavy lifting. It took me couple of days to remove the old receiver, remove some other equipment and cables I no longer needed, fully clean the equipment area, and then get the AVR-X8500HA installed. It took me another day going through the receiver's configuration setup menus for my theater. Finally, a lot of testing to make sure I had everything working properly with all the other components that are connected to the new receiver. Be sure to schedule a large block of uninterrupted time when installing this receiver. It takes quite a bit of time. Patience is a virtue when installing something as heavy and complex as this. In closing, I'll post an update later if I discover something new and interesting about this receiver. When I get my printed copy, I'm planning to read the entire user manual to see if I've missed something in my installation and setup. Please note: A printed user manual is not included with the AVR-X8500HA, but you can order a printed version on-line. The PDF version of the user manual is also available free on-line from the Denon web site. Update, 11/20/2024: So I've had this receiver for a year now. I use it almost every single day, for TV, Movies, Music, Web surfing, Youtube, Chromecast audio, etc. Still loving it - and apparently it's still available at close-out prices. During this year, I've upgraded my projector to 4K (JVC DLA-NP5, see review) and a 4K laptop (Lenovo ThinkPad G17 Gen 2, see review). Everything in the home theater is now 4K capable (all video sources, my two displays, laptop, and the receiver). The main thing I've done since my original review is room EQ using the supplied Audyssey Multi-EQ calibration system and microphone supplied with this receiver. I spent 3 days messing around with it - trying to get the best sound. I recommend downloading the Audyssey Multi-EQ app to your phone or tablet ($20) - and running the Audyssey software from there. Using the app, the EQ results are editable, with more features available than just using the receiver in a standalone way. And with the app, you can save/edit multiple EQ sessions - and clone existing EQ sessions in order to tweak, and to try out various settings - of which there are more than I can count. There are several YouTube videos that walk thru the setting up, and usage of this app. After running thru a bunch of EQ sessions, I settled on Audyssey Reference mode, with subs equalized from 20 to 80 Hz, and the other speakers equalized from 20 to 1000 Hz. The idea here is that most room EQ issues are due to lower-midrange and bass frequencies causing resonances and nulls due to sound reflections - and wave interference. Since my speakers are high-end, I'm assuming anything above 1000 Hz is not going to be a big problem. More testing and listening may change my opinion though. As always, your mileage may vary. But for me, this has been a fun experience, and I do think the sound is better than before the EQ sessions - so probably worth checking out if you have the time, and a quiet environment in order to run the EQ sessions. Carry on! Update, 11/23/2024: I checked the back panel of my 2 subwoofers to make sure they were set as I remembered. I found the gain was set too low, and the crossovers also set too low. They are now set as: Gain at 12 o'clock position (half-gain), Crossover at max (150Hz), Phase shift set to 0 degrees. With that, I performed another EQ session with the Audyssey app. Afterwards, I chose the following settings: Audyssey reference setting for all speakers. For subwoofers, the curtain set at 200Hz, and for the rest of the speakers, the curtain set at 500Hz. So basically, the subs are fully EQed by Audyssey, and the Front, Center, Surround, and Surround Back are EQed at 500Hz and below. After extensive listening tests, I think this is the best EQ so far. For midrange and highs, the speakers are playing naturally with no EQ - with the room correction only happening below 500Hz (and below 200Hz for the subs.) I'll try living with these EQ settings until I find a good reason to change them - but so far, very happy with this EQ. Good luck with your experience.
Review: Crisp and loaded with power - apt for a mid to large sized home theater setup - My setup has a 7.1.4 with Bowers & Wilkins 700S3s, 701 center and 706 surround, and SVS SB17 subwoofer (+ Formovie Theater Premium UST with Spectra Vantage 130' screen). Denon A10H menu is simple to navigate (and now closely resembles that of Marantz). Setup was quick and easy with the included Odyssey calibration. Ample channels to run 2 additional and independent zones. 8K HDMI HDCP 2.3 inputs takes Apple TV and Playstation video inputs. The picture is very clear, and the audio is so crisp. The volume for all 7.1.4 speakers goes way beyond tolerable decibel limits yet without distortion. Worth the $ spent. Streaming is seamless from my iPhone while projector is off. Set Apple Music in Apple TV to lossless audio and paird with a good quality HDMI cable made Hi-Res listening significantly better.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Which kind of speakers brand you can connect on this denon receiver ?**
A: Thanks for your question. The Denon AVR-X8500HA is capable of powering a wide variety of speaker brands. We offer home theater speaker packages from Klipsch, Polk Audio, Focal, SVS, and more.
World Wide Stereo – since 1979 – and a proud authorized Denon dealer.

**Q: Can I use passive subwoofer without external amplifier**
A: Good question.. 
It is possible to use a pair of channels off the Denon AVRX850H to drive a passive sub as long as you have the channels available to do so.  
The passive subwoofer would also need to have a stereo input and a passive crossover in order to work in this configuration..
Typically a passive subwoofer would not be used in this application..

**Q: Does this require a separate power amplifier?  Can one be used with it?**
A: Hey DeerHunter4Life,
No, the unit does not require a separate power amplifier. Yes, one can be used with it, the unit has speaker pre-outs for all 13ch.

Thanks,
Denon North America

**Q: this is 220 volt**
A: No, only 120 V, 60 Hz

*by A***W on August 26, 2025*

This receiver is a major step up from my previous model. It has audibly lower distortion and cleaner sound. Atmos surround is incredibly realistic— especially with the Dirac Live room correction feature. Denon is my go to brand for high end electronics and Amazon is an excellent source for Denon gear.
