Denon AVR-X3800H (2022)

Every one of the nine HDMI ports on this 9.4-channel receiver runs at full HDMI 2.1 bandwidth — all six inputs and all three outputs support 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz passthrough. That's a standout feature in the mid-range segment where many competitors limit 8K to just two or three ports. Four independent subwoofer pre-outs allow precise bass management across multiple subs. Dual optical and dual coaxial digital inputs cover legacy source components, while a front-panel USB port handles hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz.

9.4-channel 8K AV receiver with six HDMI 2.1 inputs, three outputs, and HEOS streaming.

Notes & Compatibility

All 6 HDMI inputs are full HDMI 2.1 (40Gbps) supporting 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz with VRR, ALLM, QMS, QFT, and DSC. HDMI Monitor 1 and 2 outputs support 8K; Monitor 3/Zone 2 output is limited. eARC on Monitor 1 output. HDCP 2.3 on all HDMI ports. 4 independent subwoofer pre-outs. 11.4-channel pre-outs available. Built-in phono preamp (MM). Front-panel USB supports hi-res audio up to 24-bit/192kHz. Out of the box the 4K/8K Signal Format setting is Enhanced (4K60 4:4:4); switch it to 8K Enhanced before 4K@120Hz or 8K will pass, and use certified Ultra High Speed HDMI cables on those links. Nine channels are amplified, so an 11-channel layout needs a two-channel power amp on the pre-outs. The front headphone jack is 1/4-inch, so 3.5mm headphones need an adapter.
