Just posted my review of the "Klipsch Reference Theater Pack 5.1 Speaker System" in which I talk about my experience with the Denon AVR-X2600H. If anyone is interested in that, you can check out the video here: th-cam.com/video/9djxzyMyqwY/w-d-xo.html
ImSammy perfect! I just bought this and Klipsch speakers.
Enjoyed the video. After 8-9 years of loving my Onkyo TX-NR609, it's been having HDMI & power-off issues, so looking at my options for a replacement, and Denon is certainly at the top of my list.
Waiting for HDMI 2.1 with VRR support from Denon, hope to see models soon so I can upgrade my 4 year old model.
How to connect ceiling speakers to this AVR
hi ImSammy! I currently use z906 as well and thinking about exactly same setup with x2600, my question is about speakers itself, could I damage them if I turn the volume up? I think av may have too much power for them at high volume, what I can do to make them perform well, just for you to know, z906 speakers are just temporary solution, I will buy proper speakers in few months time, propably discounted Monitor Audio Bronze 5 5.1 and svs pb1000 sub, thank you for reply mate!🤗
Have the X2800h is there many changes or basically the same waiting for SVS Sub. Have 5 speakers should i use the back speakers or the left and right ones when setting it up as a 5 1. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the video
I currently have a hi-end Yamaha AVR and a 65" Samsung 4K Smart TV. The TV will allow the selection of the AVR and WILL TURN IT ON AUTOMATICALLY using the sound output selection choice. There is a 4-5 second delay as the Yamaha powers up and delivers audio/video. I don't know if the delay is in the AVR or the TV. I can live with the delay annoyance but don't want to leave my comfy chair to turn the AVR on or off - and using the Denon remote would be even more delay than the Yamaha. So my question is this.... Will the Denon 2600 automatically turn on when it is selected by the TV? If so - is the operation more-or-less instantaneous or is the slight delay inevitable?
Hi, Please show me how your connected Logitech z906 speakers. Please. Thanks.
I am interested in this receiver. Since I use a lot of video devices. Some have hdmi, and some only composite video output. An enigma is bothering me! If it is connected to, for example, the cbl/sat input via hdmi, some device (dbt imilab) that has an hdmi output. Is it possible to connect an analog video device to the composite analog input of the cbl/sat receiver (video and audio), for example, a sat tuner? Does the receiver recognize both signals on the same video input? I read the user manual where there is no explanation for such a connection. Only automatic recognition for audio signal and hdmi (changing the name of the input) is indicated. My question is, is it possible to simultaneously connect two different devices (hdm and analog) to the input under the same name cbl/sat, and does the receiver recognize this automatically? Unless! Is it possible to choose hdmi or analog through the menu setting? Does it at least allow that possibility? If more than one device is started and the other is not used at the same time!? I hope you understand my question! If you have not used such a combination of connections until now. Can you check by putting together such a combination as I describe and let me know what you get at the end in practice!? I would be grateful for your answer.
Great review! Could you please share how did you manage to connect the Z906 satellite speakers and subwoofer? I've got the same Logitech system but planning to upgrade to this Denon or the Sony STR-DN1080 and use the Logitech system with it until I upgrade to better speakers. Also, do you think the Denon or the Sony is better?
Thanks :)
I used a subwoofer cable connected from the z906 subwoofer to the Denon receiver's first subwoofer output and connected the satellite speakers directly to Denon receiver.
Having not tested the Sony AV Receiver you mentioned I can't speak to that but it does look like an equally impressive unit, especially having a Google Chromecast built-in. It features many of the same passthrough formats the Denon receiver does so ultimately it will come down to the user experience.
@@ImSammy don't understand how you do that. have you built a spécial cable ?
@@siskomada9836 No I just purchased a subwoofer cable.
Connect one side of cable to z906 subwoofer via RCA and one side to one of the subwoofer outputs on the Denon receiver.
With the z906 subwoofer switched on you'll select the input that represents the output of the RCA output on the z906 subwoofer.
Hope that helps.
@@ImSammy Ok thank you, it's clearer now. Is the sound quality good?
If I play any of my local MP3 stored on my device through bluetooth, will the receiver get affected ?
Hello, thank you for the video. I just bought this and afraid that it might not work out
I’m running all klispch 5.1 speakers. Now I don’t really understand how these things work but all speakers are 8ohms according to the description. Will this receiver work with this set? Or do I need more power.
My second question is if should I use 16 gauge or 18 gauge speaker wires. The shortest is 2ft and and the longest 23ft from the receiver
Thank you for your time
You need more power for lower ohms. The Denon runs 4 - 8 ohms so you will have no problem at all, Enjoy!!
Elise & Ava thank you so much appreciate it
your fine. dont worry
Hello there,
Great video and very detailed although i have one question I hope you can help me with it :)
I have the same Logitech 5.1 system and the same AVR , I figured out how to connect the satellite speakers to the AVR but how did you connect the sub-woofer to the Denon ?
Please any explanation or picture would help a lot..
much respect and keep the good work man !!
Right where you plug your center input in is input for 2 subwoofers.
@@youngsavage007 I meant on the Z906 Subwoofer, what connection and where does it go on the sub itself..
thank you tho for the answer
@@fadimohamad6792 I bet he didn't even connect the sub. A crappy review imho.
General Kenobi
Damn...where have you bought the deloeran light =) I want to have one =D
You can buy them pretty cheaply on eBay. Just search up "Back to the Future DeLorean 3D LED Lamp" :)
@@ImSammy Oh nice 😀 many many thx
Is anyone know if I Can hook up a power amp to this receiver?
hi with the denon app on your phone can you turn on the avr from powered off?
Yes
@@AC_Milan1899 thanks for reply, app doesnt work at all really, super buggy, tried diff flag ship phones, s8 plus, s5e tablet, s20 plus 5g and all run terribly and eventually disconnects after a day.
What do you use the the raspberry pi for?
Sorry for the late reply. I use it for python scripts to control my LIFX lighting for example dimming the lights when PLEX starts playing a TV Show/Movie.
Cool, it packs alot
It does indeed.
i own the 2600h as my friend and reviewers biged it up. my issues are first i have to keep it on the older firmware as it doesnt work with my xbox one s if i update it when it comes to hdr and 4k.
even with the latest software, and the oldest, going into settings for audio and selecting options in the ref area sometimes kicks hdr off and i end up haveing to select a different hdmi and back again for it to return hdr.
lastly and i feel this is a big miss by denon, it doesnt work with my google plasy player as i cant send over by blue tooth my playlists. instead i have to use heos and creat new playlists. why in this day and age cant it just do both. let me cast via blue tooth my music on my android phone by google or any other player with blue tooth suport?
yes the sou7nd is awsome but its far from the perfect bug free experience and it isnt the exellent everyone says, not till it allws the basic us of bluetooth on a phone and not push heos and sort out the kind of bugs i asumed a 500 pound amp would not have.
part of me withes i tried the sony one but hey too late now.
voice operastions with my harmony work great with it and yeh sound is amazing. but it needs to be a smater device
just a warning all those google play playlists you have get ready to remake them on the dennon amps.
8/10 is a very fair rating as sound on my 2600h is great but the bugs and heos take at least 2 poiunts off. if i was a music lover id be giing this amp a 6/10, luckly im a movie guy so its a 8.. And heos works well when you realise to add a song to a playlist you have to open playlist tell it to play from phone, then make sure you press play now and replace que. then go to the song you want to add and play now. then save plaYLIST. ITS STUPID ITS ANOYING AND BECAUSE IM STUPID IT TOOK ME A FEW WEEKS TO CLICK ON HOW TO DO IT. WOULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF I COULD HAVE JUST PAIRED MY PHONE to the denon amp and played my playlists or songs directly but dennon doesnt let you do that because oftheir badly made heos app. i know theres alot of denon fans out there and yes i never heard a bad review but be warned if like you you want songs from your phone to go directly to the denon amplifiers it wont . At their prices it should.
im saying this for al;l new buyers to be aware as no one else is saying this stuff and truthfully if all people do is tell you the positives denon whos 2600h i like alot is not gona impliment the missing basic features that in 2020 really shouldnt hell 2017 they really shouldnt be missing. its like buying a new sports car with no bluetooth or usb port.
If I'm using atmos it will only be 5.1.2 right?
Yes
idk why they put "150 watts per channel" on there, you barely get 95 watts with 2 channels driven @ 8 ohms
In the spec sheet on this it says it's 95 watts Max, not 150 watts
Number of Poweramps: 7 7
Power Output (8 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% 2ch Drive) 95W 80W
Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 0.7% 2ch Drive) 125W 120W
Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 1% 1ch Drive) 150W 145W
Stated on the specs page.
yea 95 with 2 speakers driven, at 8 ohms, 150 watts if you drive 1 6ohm speaker (no one does this)
NickEdwards2k10 yep total lie on the front sticker. 7x150w 🤣
When i have the lg oled cx and this receiver i can passtrough dolby atmos? De lg cx 2020 is hdmi 2.1 and the receiver Earc so i guess no problems with next gen consoles.
Yea. You can 100% you don’t even need the CX. The other Oleds work as well.
is there Pure direct function???
yes is present
Why on earth no Audyssey XT32 here
i got 2700h soon
On denon website this model is listed as 95W per channel. Why?
Upon further research looking at the specs it's advertised as 95W per channel in USA and 150W per channel in Australia/Europe. However It is the same unit, just advertised in a different way (8 ohm/6 ohm).
Number of Poweramps: 7 7
Power Output (8 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, 0.08% 2ch Drive) 95W 80W
Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 0.7% 2ch Drive) 125W 120W
Power Output (6 ohm, 1 kHz, 1% 1ch Drive) 150W 145W
You can find this info within the Specifications section on Denon's AVR-X2600H page.
also, thats 2 channels driven at 8 ohms, it will be alot less than 95 watts if you drive more than 2 speakers simultaneously
I read on skme Page this reciver have 2.1hdmi and its good for 8K and PS5
The AVR-X2600H features HDMI 2.0b but I'm sure we'll see HDMI 2.1 in the next year or so.
@@ImSammy So You think this reciver is bad for PS5 ?coz i need buy something for XMass. And Klipsch speakers.
@@arturborowiec6822 Well the PlayStation 5 hasn't even been announced so if you're wanting to future proof your setup, I'd say hold off until mid 2020, that'd be my best guess as to when we would see AV receivers supporting HDMI 2.1. Then again I also wouldn't expect for the PlayStation 5 to support true 8K gaming.
@@ImSammy on the front and back reciver its HDPC 2.3 and i think this mind support hdmi 2.1
@@arturborowiec6822 No you're confusing HDCP which is copy protection with HDMI. It's HDMI 2.0b sorry to say.
I have 5 speaker Warfield brand 5 ohm it's working on this avr۔
please I want to attach my tv hisense u8gq 65 it's good support or not I can't afford by to other one۔ I want surround 5.1 home theater ۔room is 5×5 mtr
That TV supports 4K at 120hz, this AVR supports 4K at 60hz, it will work just fine just won't work past 4K 60hz.
Just a few years ?
You have to be kidding that you used those laptop speakers with 150W per channel DENON AVR unless you are hiding something. I’ve got a 3313CI and it’s a work of art receiver with great THD . I’ve got real high quality legacy speakers which are not easy to get these days.
I noticed the THD may be higher in more recent products which may not be heard with your cheap computer mouse speakers.. no worries mate. RJ
Sorry but you cannot review an A/V receiver with that speaks. It's irrelevant the all point of "sound quality test"!
Yeah well I made that pretty clear in my video. Also if you check out my latest review I updated my view on this receiver. Thanks for the feedback though.
Studies show that receiving free stuff affects reviews. Consider buying the product next time.
Hmm I disagree. I think I gave the product a fair but honest unbiased review. In my review I demonstrated it's features, talked about it's positives/negatives and gave a summary of what I thought of the product. You might have a different expectation though of what a review encapsulates. In any case thanks the constructive comment..
you can not properly review a Atmos receiver without proper atmos setup. review was seriously lacking, in particular with the undersized speakers you used.
If someone is looking for streaming loseless music via WiFi, like Denon HEOS, mind you this does not work perfectly on this receiver. Many times when I tried to play the music via HEOS app it just didn't, something constantly isnylt connecting. The app is poor as well. Personally I am disappointed by Denon.
I bought the Denon AVR X 2500H to replace my Denon Avr x 1200w . Man let me tell you the new Denon sounds absolutely like shit !!!!!!.I think there quality went to crap compare to Denon 1200. Than bought the Yahama RX 685. awesome reciver. I was Denon fan I was so disappointed.
Is it that bad? I was thinking of purchasing it just for the pre outs. Have you tried them to better the sound?🤔✌
@@frederickfranchi6408 yes I wasn't that impressed at all.I mean I loved Denon I used to stand by them when I heard Denon AVR X 2500H and I still had the Yahama RX 685 that I bought I Had to do comparison with those to models .the sound of the Yahama was phenomenal Compared to Denon 2500H.Now my older DENON AVR X 1200 w to me that sounds better than the newer models .I was so disappointed. . The Auddesey Dynamic EQ Sounds better for movies than The YPOA OF THE YAHAMA Eq. Witch is there version of Auddesey eq. To me the Yahama sounds lower but it sopposed to be more accurate.witch to me just didn't sound right at all I really didn't like that setting on .Now on the other hand YAHAMA offers there Parametric EQ were you can adjust the sound and the bass vocals High and the decibal. That's why I kept that yahama plus there lot of sound option you can choose compared to Denon ..
@@patiorio1538 Thanks for the info. So disappointing to hear that. I guess I won't be buying the Denon my search will continue. But damn they used to make great receivers. What the hell happened?🤔😧
@@frederickfranchi6408 I know I was so pissed off. Marantz and Yamaha. But good luck .
@@patiorio1538
I just bought this receiver Sunday. Replaced a 15 year old Yamaha. Good unit it was. Too many features really.
This Dennon is true, 95 watts at 7 channels, or you can combine two. It has a very simple layout.
Once I turned on the eq setting, set it to 2 channels for fronts, (only using 5.1), it sounds amazing. It sounds every bit as good as a home theater can on a decent budget. Paired with 75 watt klipsch bookshelf speakers, a nice center, and the SP 100 sub. Oh man. I just need a new tv now! Very happy. I was worried. It is light. Figured light on power to. Lol.
But you can adjust the eq, it does have it hidden. You can adjust distance, speaker level. And you can adjust speaker gains! Individual. So not sure what's not to like. Price? Yeah, I like around 125 ta 150 per channel. But at a true 95, which is hard to get, and the ability to double. Works like a dream. I thought about another for basement!
(,I need to figure out multi room!).
Did you really made this video using pc speakers?! Lol
What makes you think they're PC speakers?
X3500h is better
Better is relative
It has preouts and if you want to run a separate amp it’s better. Not everyone needs or wants that feature. It’s important to understand though when making the decision which is right.
