EARC receives uncompressed surround sound signals including Dolby Atmos and DTS:X via the HDMI connection with your compatible TV. The AVR-X2800H has outputs for seven speakers. Use them all in a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos® or DTS:X® system, or go with a conventional 5.1-channel setup and repurpose the extra two channels for music in another zone.
Excellent Receiver - Denon rocks. It’s working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Set up was little bit tricky, but once sound is calibrated, this thing sounds excellent.
