Denon 2019 AVR lineup - X3600H, X2600H, X1600H, S950H, S750H, S650H

Skapar en Denon 2019 receiver tråd lite lagom sent på året =)

Såg detta gällande Denon 3600 som blev Audioholics Product of the Year. Om jag förstått det rätt så kan kan assigna frontslutstegen till surround och hänga på mer pulver på front l/r, utan att tappa några interna slutsteg. Mycket bra Denon!!! Och perfekt för mig som driver frontarna med 2-kanalsförstärkare via HT bypass direkt till slutstegen.

Denon AVR-X3600H 11CH AV Receiver
The $1,100 Denon AVR-X3600H AV receiver has 9CH of amplification and 11CH of processing to do a full 7.1.4 speaker system with the addition of a 2CH external amplifier. This is one of the least expensive AVR's on the market with 11CH of processing making it a compelling product to use as an inexpensive prepro with all the latest in HD audio and video processing. What makes the AVR-X3600H stand out in the crowd is the fact that the front channels can be reassigned to surround duties so you can add a quality 2CH amp to power your front L/R channels. At this price point, there are no other AV receivers that allow you to reassign internal amplifiers in this manner.

For those just wanting to expand from 9 to 11 channels, a 2CH power amp will be needed. Unlike the Onkyo TX-RZ830, you can reassign the front L/R amplifier channels to the surrounds and use an external 2CH amp for the main channels. Most AV enthusiasts at this level will opt for a good 2CH amp to power the main speakers and use the Denon internal amps for the rest of the home theater. This is a good call.

Here is the procedure for reassigning the front channels to the height surrounds:

1. Go to AVR`s setup menu
2. Select “Speakers”, enter “Amp Assign”
3. Select “11.1ch” for “Assign Mode” setting
4. Select “Front” for “Preout” setting. The other option is “Height”. 

Connect an external 2CH amplifier to the Front L and R preouts, connect the rest of speakers (9.0) to the remaining receiver`s speaker terminals (C, SL, SR, SLB, SRB and 4 height channels) for a full 7.1.4 speaker configuration.

With the AVR-X3600H configured to reroute the main front L/R internal amplifiers, the preamp is physically disconnected from the power amp. This allows the preamp stage full capability of delivering up to 4Vrms unclipped when connected to external amplification as can be seen in the following output vs distortion plot courtesy of Sound United Engineering.

Editorial Note about Front L/R Channels Preamp Disconnect

Front L/R channel preamp disconnect ONLY happens in a 11CH speaker configuration. If you have simply 9.1 channel configuration (5.1.4) or less, and you want to drive front L/R speakers out of external amplifier, or L/R/C, or L/R/C/SL/SR speakers out of external 5 channel amplifiers, internal amplifiers will not be disconnected.  There is no selecting or sensing mechanism to allow that unless you activate 11.1 channel Amp Assign mode and select Front L and R for preouts.
