There’s also an Auto Eco mode that adjusts the maximum power available according to the volume level, as well as an on-screen Eco meter that lets you see the power consumption reduction in real time. For compatibility with the widest range of loudspeaker models, the AVR-X1100W is also equipped with low impedance drive capability, to provide operational stability with speakers rated at 4 ohms.
Audyssey MultEQ XT Built-in
Denon was the first A/V manufacturer to embrace Audyssey’s advanced DSP audio processing, and the AVR-X1100W features the Audyssey Silver suite of powerful DSP features, including MultEQ XT room acoustic measurement and DSP correction. Via the supplied measuring microphone, Audyssey MultEQ measures all the speakers in your home theater during setup, including the subwoofer, and then generates multiple high precision DSP room acoustic correction filters, which together provide smoothest and most natural tonal balance, regardless of the brand or model of the various speakers. Audyssey Dynamic Volume features advanced psycho-acoustic processing to deliver clear dialog and wide range sound at reduced volume levels so that you can enjoy theater-level clarity at whatever listening level you choose. Audyssey Dynamic EQ also features advanced DSP processing to deliver full range wide-band response, even at reduced volume levels.
Multi-room Listening
You can configure the AVR-X1100W for a 7 channel home theater surround system, or you can choose to have a 5 channel surround system in the main room, with 2 of the amplifier channels dedicated to drive separate stereo speakers in another room. Enjoy a surround sound movie in one room, while others can enjoy stereo sound from a different source in a second room, at the same time.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs
The AVR-X1100W features dual subwoofer outputs, which lets you connect two smaller subwoofers instead of a single, larger sub, and enjoy the benefits of response averaging by having two subs in different locations in the room. With dual subwoofers, deep bass is smoother and more detailed, minimizing the peaks and dips that often result with a single subwoofer setup.
The AVR-X2100W 7.2ch Network AV Receiver delivers the latest Denon surround sound technology at an affordable price – but that doesn’t mean compromising on sound quality. With its 7 discrete output stages each providing 150 watts of clean power, the AVR-X2100W creates stunning cinema sound and detailed music playback. Built-in Wi-Fi enables you to hook-up to your home network quickly, and Bluetooth makes wireless playback from compatible portable devices really easy.

Many portable devices are equipped with Bluetooth wireless connectivity, and the AVR-X2100W’s built-in Bluetooth wireless technology lets you stream your favorite audio tracks from up to 8 Bluetooth enabled devices, such as smartphones, portable audio players and tablets. With the built-in Wi-Fi wireless technology, the AVR-X2100W connects to the internet through your home network, opening up a world of music from internet radio stations, as well as streaming subscription service Spotify via very latest Spotify Connect scheme. With AirPlay, you can enjoy listening to your favorite tracks wirelessly from your portable iOS device, including iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. DLNA 1.5 certification lets you connect to your PC or Mac via your home network wirelessly for additional streaming capabilities. Our Denon Remote App lets you easily control the AVR-X2100W with your favorite portable device, and is available for Apple and Android devices as well as the Kindle Fire.

The Setup Assistant features clear on-screen graphics and text that quickly and easily guide you through the setup process, optimizing critical system settings for the best possible sound quality.
Powerful 7 Channel Discrete Amplifier with Eco Mode
With each channel rated at a maximum power of 150 watts, the AVR-X2100W features a power amplifier design that incorporates multiple high current discrete output devices, with identical circuit topology on all 7 channels. Our new Eco Mode provides the ability to reduce overall power consumption and features an on-screen Eco Meter that lets you see the power consumption reduction effect. The Auto Eco mode automatically switches between normal and Eco modes, depending on the volume level chosen, and the power amplifier block is rated to drive low impedance speaker loads, down to 4 ohms, for compatibility and stability with virtually any loudspeaker model.
Audyssey MultEQ XT Built-in
The AVR-X2100W features the Audyssey Silver family of DSP technologies, which includes MultEQ room acoustic measurement and correction. Via the supplied measuring microphone, the MultEQ system first measures actual in-room response from all the speakers, including the subwoofer, and then quickly generates multiple precision digital filters that ensure the smoothest possible response. And the step-up MultEQ XT technology provides for more measurement points (up to 8 positions) and generates higher accuracy digital filters.
Multi-room Listening
Thanks to the AVR-X2100W’s flexible Amp Assign function, you can choose to power a 5.1 channel home theater surround system, and dedicate the 2 additional amp channels to deliver stereo sound to a pair of speakers in another room. Watch a surround sound movie in the main room with the ability to have a separate stereo source playing in a second room.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs
Depending on the location of the subwoofer in a listening room relative to the listening position, the deep bass quality can be marred by in-room resonances that negatively affect bass quality, with peaks and dips that together produce boomy bass and muddy bass detail. Equipped with dual subwoofer outputs, the AVR-X2100W lets you use two subwoofers, placed in different locations in the listening room. By having two subs in different locations in the room, the bass quality can very often be significantly better due to response averaging, with smoother, deeper bass free of annoying peaks and dips.
Modestly Priced Denon AVRs Add HDMI 2.0, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth | http://www.twice.comHDMI 2.0 enables passthrough for 60Hz Ultra HD 60Hz, 4:4:4 full resolution 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling, 21:9 aspect ratios and dynamic auto lip synchronization. All three also feature a new Auto Eco Mode to reduce power consumption. HDCP 2.2 is not supported in the HDMI ports and cannot be added via firmware because the technology is hardware-dependent, said Belanger. - See more at: Modestly Priced Denon AVRs Add HDMI 2.0, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth | http://www.twice.com
Thanks - from some articles online I had got the impression that support for it was optional.HDMI 2.0 requirers that support for HDCP 2.2 be implimented. It is part of the spec for HDMI 2.0.
Surely it replaces the X3000 (which also does not have XT32) ???The X3100 has been announced which replaces the X4000.
Correct. Just occurred to me. I was about to repost.Surely it replaces the X3000 (which also does not have XT32) ???
Point already conceded.I'd assume the AVRX3100 to be the replacement for the AVRX3000 and not the AVRX4000's replacement? Maybe this explains the absence of XT32? This is further substantiated by the AVRX3100 having only one main room HDMI output plus one second zone HDMI output. I'd expect the AVRX4000's replacement to have 2 main room outputs plus a third second zone HDMI output.
There are a limited number of HDMI 2.0 chiset manufacturers and all of them appear to impliment HDCP 2.2 chipsets. Denon and other manufacturers aren't obliged to declare what version of HDCP they are incorporating and haven't bothered to do so up until now with the advent of HDMI version 2 and 4K Ultra HD. I'd think it rather stupid of any AV receiver manufacturer to not included an implementation of HDMI version 2.0 that doesn't use the HDCP 2.2 chipset. They'd basically have to purposefully go out of their way to find a HDMI version 2.0 chipset lacking support for HDCP 2.2.
Baffling if true.I wish I were wrong, but I don't think these new Denons have the feature either.
Likewise.Personally, am I also waiting for a HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 receiver...
As far as I can tell the new HDMI 2.0 Yamaha and Pioneer receivers don't have HDCP 2.2. The HDMI chipset analysis posted on HDFever - La passion de la haute définition confirms this. Onkyo is the only one who advertises HDCP 2.2 on their new receivers, and they seem to use a different chip.
I wish I were wrong, but I don't think these new Denons have the feature either. Personally, am I also waiting for a HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 receiver - I think that all 4k material will require the new encryption standard and that everything sold without it will essentially not be able to do 4k. The industry usually goes the most restrictive route.
There's no requirement to declare what version of HDCP is implimented. No prior new implementation of HDMI or HDCP has been followed by the manufacturers stating the version of HDCP they are implimentating. It is practically impossible not to have HDCP versio 2.2 if implementing HDMI version 2.0 because HDCP version 2.2 is already encoded into the chipset associated with HDMI version 2. The two things are for all intense purposes the one and the same thing, you are not going to get HDMI 2.0 without HDCP version 2.2 and even if not present then the newer chipset associated with HDMI 2.0 can be upgrade to include HDCP 2.2. It is only versions of HDMI prior to version 2.0 that lack the chipset required for HDCP 2.2. Itf this is not the case then why the hell include HDMI version 2.0 at all?
The only thing that differentiates Onkyo if the fact they mention HDCP 2.2 within their marketing literature. This isn't to say that every manufacturer will follow suit or that their HDMI version 2 equiped devices will not be compliant with HDCP version 2.2 unless they to state this to be the case. Ask Denon if concerned about this and stop reading snippets on the web posted by people who are no better informed about it than yourselves. The only thing I've seen is other people saying Onkyo will have it because Onkyo say so in their lterature and other manufaxturers will not because they don't. Did Onkyo post the HDCP version they used prior to this with ealier HDMI versions???? No, so I assume this is the first time Onkyo has ever implimented HDCP then???
Since when did any of the AV receiver manufacturers previously anoounce the version of HDCP they support?
