Denon AVR-S540BT review

Thanks to the 5.2 configuration of the Denon AVR-S540BT receiver, users can enjoy true surround sound. It can produce 70 W/channel at 8 Ohm or 90 W/channel at 6 ohms, which is clearly less versus the opponent whose power is 135 W/channel at 6 Ohm.

The five HDMI inputs support 4: 4: 4 Pure Color subsampling, 3D video with HDR10, Dolby Vision and HLG, and maximum resolution 4K with 60 Hz frequency. HDCP 2.2 processing is available to support copy-protected content.
