The Denon works well in a 7 channels configuration or a 5 channel mode with 2 channels working in the Second Zone. A powerful high current amplifier can produce a 185W/ channel. Also, low impedance speakers can be connected to the receiver. Video processing is also at a high level, the Denon AVR-S930H specs include such sound technologies as DTS:X 3D and Dolby Atmos, as well as the latest video decoders - Dolby Vision and HDR.
Design and build
The body of Denon AVR-S930H is alike to other Denon`s receivers. However, in the structure of the AVR-S930H, one feature should be noted. There is a separate advanced video processor upscales the resolution of the incoming signal to 4K.

All current network interfaces are installed in the receiver. So there is an ability of online music playback in Hi-Res file types from the huge list of popular online services (Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, etc). There is also support for the HEOS, with which users can connect not only the receiver and drivers to the network but other devices with built-in such system.
