Our take on the Denon AVR-S970H 8K Ultra HD 7.2 Channel AV Home Audio Receiver

The Denon AVR-S970H is a 7.2-channel AV receiver rated at 90W per channel, built for medium rooms and 5.2.2 or 7.2 Dolby Atmos setups. It passes 8K/60Hz video and supports VRR, QFT and ALLM for consoles, with eight HDMI ports (six in, two out) and three 8K-capable inputs. A phono input, USB, analog and digital inputs cover turntables and older gear, and HEOS adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth multi-room audio. Against step-up models it gives up a third HDMI output zone and some amplifier headroom, but it covers current 8K and Atmos needs without the extras.

Questions and answers

Is the AVR-S970H enough for Dolby Atmos?
Yes. It has seven amplified channels, so it runs a 5.2.2 or 7.2 Atmos layout. It cannot drive four height speakers at once.
Does it support 8K and next-gen consoles?
Yes. It passes 8K/60Hz and supports VRR, QFT and ALLM, with three 8K-capable HDMI inputs. That covers PS5 and Xbox Series X features.
Can I connect a turntable?
Yes. There is a dedicated phono input, so a moving-magnet turntable plugs in without a separate preamp.
How does it compare with the AVR-X series?
The X models add more power, more channels and extra zone outputs. The S970H covers 7.2 Atmos and 8K for less, with fewer expansion options.
Does it stream music without extra gear?
Yes. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, with HEOS for Spotify, TIDAL, Pandora and multi-room speakers.
What is in the box?
The receiver, a remote, an FM antenna, a calibration microphone and a power cord. Speaker wire is not included.
