Denon AVR-A10H13.4-channel home theater receiver with Dolby Atmos®, Bluetooth®, and Apple AirPlay® 2
Premium audio and video performance
Looking for top-notch home theater performance? Denon's A Series receivers represent the company's best. Designed and manufactured in Japan, the AVR-A10H is one of the most capable home theater receivers in that lineup, second only to the AVR-A1H. Boasting 13-channels of superior surround sound and loads of power, the ‘A10H is right at home in a large, dedicated theater room and even as part of a multi-room system
Advanced 8K video and next-gen gaming support has been applied to the AVR-A10H on all seven HDMI inputs and two of the three HDMI outputs. Your movies and games never looked so good!
Music quality isn't an afterthought in the 'A10H, either. Audiophile-grade digital-to-analog conversion gives you detailed, crystal-clear sound with digital audio sources. And 360 Reality Audio processing renders your music in a 360° spherical soundfield.
More options for system calibration
Denon still includes the excellent Audyssey speaker calibration suite to tune your theater sound to your space. And now, you also have the option to purchase and download the Dirac Live® advanced speaker calibration program to your Mac® or PC. Fine-tune the output of your system to match the unique sonic characteristics of your space and bring your surround sound to exciting new heights.
Plentiful options for speaker setups
The AVR-A10H has outputs for 15 speakers, and it can power up to 13 at the same time. This gives you the flexibility to choose from different home theater and wired multi-room music configurations.
Use all 13 channels in a 7.1.6 or a 9.1.4 Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X® system. Or go with a more modest surround sound setup and repurpose the extra channels for music in another zone. If you don't have height speakers, you can still enjoy simulated overhead effects with Dolby Atmos Height Virtualization.
You can even expand your system beyond the receiver's 13 built-in channels of power. Its 15-channel RCA preamp outputs and a dedicated Pre-amplifier Mode make it a very capable preamp/processor if you want to add separate amplifiers.
Enjoy music your way
If you're like me, you'll use your new receiver to play music in addition to watching movies. The AVR-A10H lets you stream tunes from your phone or tablet through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and even Apple AirPlay 2. It will also show up in your player list if you're using Roon (subscription required).
Love spinning vinyl? This receiver has a built-in phono input for your turntable. And if you've carefully curated an awesome digital music library, you can play high-resolution tracks from a USB drive or networked computer.
Expand your system with HEOS Built-in
HEOS Built-in technology lets you access all of your music — from your personal library, internet radio, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL — through the 'A10H.
