Product details

Experience mesmerising 8K video quality, stream online music via HEOS Built-in and broadcast it to other rooms.

Thanks to room-filling sound, you are right in the centre of the action instead of just being there. With numerous configuration options, the device can be optimally adapted to the respective room conditions. Experience excellent video quality thanks to the latest 8K technology. Improved performance with the Audyssey (installed) or Dirac Live (optional) room correction systems. Discrete high-current amplifiers deliver up to 180 watts per channel - enough power for every speaker. Experience sound from all directions with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced and Auro-3D as well as Dolby Surround, DTS Neural:X and Auro-Matic upmixers to optimise non-surround content. The AVC-X3800H scores with numerous set-up options and the flexibility to adapt your home cinema to your exact requirements. In addition to 11.4-channel processing, it also offers a preamplifier mode and the option to upgrade to Dirac Live (planned for 2023, Dirac Live fees apply). 8K video is supported by all six HDMI inputs and two outputs. Experience straightforward video compatibility and great picture quality with HLG, HDR, Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dynamic HDR.

  • PositiveMany HDMI 2.1 interfaces
  • NegativeEqualiser could be improved
  • NegativeRelatively high surcharge for Dirac Live

Compared to its predecessor, the new Denon AVC-X3800H scores points with more stylish menus, Auro 3D, more HDMI 2.1 functionality and Dirac Live. Like so many things in life, this Denon has unfortunately become more expensive and Dirac costs extra.

The Denon AVC-X3800H is clearly intended for large home cinemas, especially if a second listening zone is to be played at the same time. The very differentiated bass management can also be a real problem solver for some cineastes, and the price for what is offered seems almost moderate due to the enormous potential of the AV receiver.

    The Denon AVC-X3800H offers a veritable fireworks display of features and technology at a fair price. The days of great bargains have been over for some time now, especially when it comes to AV amplifiers and receivers, but in the case of the AVC-X3800H you get a lot for the money...
