The Heart of Your Home Theatre

HEOS® also allows you to extend music throughout your home for a seamless multi-room listening experience.

Transform Your TV-Watching Experience

With the AVR-S980H at the centre of your system, dialogue becomes clearer, sound effects feel more dynamic, and movies, shows, and sports come alive with greater realism and impact.

An AVR That Grows With You

Designed for flexibility, the AVR-S980H supports the system you have today and the one you plan to build tomorrow. Begin with stereo audio, expand to 5.1 surround sound for movies, and grow into a 7.2-channel Dolby Atmos® setup without replacing your receiver.

Your Entertainment Hub

Switch effortlessly between TV, gaming, and streaming without searching for inputs or juggling multiple remotes. The AVR-S980H keeps all your entertainment connected and easily accessible.

Everything Your Home Theatre Needs

Delivering 90 watts of clean power per channel, the AVR-S980H ensures speech remains clear and details stand out, providing focused and controlled sound performance across every scene.

The result is balanced audio performance without requiring room modifications or technical expertise.

Stable and Reliable Performance

As surround sound systems expand, maintaining consistent power across multiple speakers becomes increasingly important. Denon’s 70% Power Guarantee ensures the AVR delivers more than 70% of its rated output to up to five channels simultaneously, helping preserve dialogue clarity, controlled effects, and natural dynamics as your system grows beyond stereo into immersive surround sound.
