        7. Speaker Configurations

        Denon AVR-S650H's and Pioneer VSX-60's amplifiers can be assigned for different speaker configurations.

        • Configurations: Available configurations are:
        • Denon AVR-S650H: 5.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Pioneer VSX-60: 5.2, 7.2 with internal amplifier.
        • Front Wide Channel support: With the presence of two front wide speakers you can enhance the front surround stage. The following speaker configurations are available for front wide channels:
        • Denon AVR-S650H: Does not support.
        • Pioneer VSX-60: 7.2.
        • Bi-Amp: Pioneer VSX-60 is able to bi-amp up to 2 main channels simultaneously. During bi-amplification two amplifiers are used for one speaker. One amplifier powers the midrange and tweeter section of the speaker and another amplifier powers the low frequency woofers. Each amplifier is less loaded and performs better. In order to use this feature speakers must have 2 pairs of connectors.

        8. HDMI

        Denon AVR-S650H comes with 5 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

        Pioneer VSX-60 comes with 7 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough on Denon AVR-S650H: All inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
          1080/60p Passthrough on Pioneer VSX-60: All inputs pass up to 1080p video signal.
        • 1080p Upscaling on Pioneer VSX-60: It can upscale up to 1080/24p (Marvell Qdeo) from HDMI and analog sources.
        • Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Pioneer VSX-60 supports analog to HDMI Upconversion, so you can input your analog video sources and output them digitally via HDMI. This means that you will need only one HDMI cable to connect to your TV.
        • BT.2020 Color Space: BT.2020 or Rec. 2020 is a color standard which delivers a wider color gamut compared to Rec. 709. It covers approximately 75% of the total visual spectrum while the Rec. 709 covers only 35% (available on Denon AVR-S650H only).
        • HDCP Copy Protection: Denon AVR-S650H is HDCP 2.3 and Pioneer VSX-60 is HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.
        • 3D Ready: Both receivers are able to pass 3D video through HDMI.

        HDR (High Dynamic Range)

        Denon AVR-S650H supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

        Pioneer VSX-60 does not support HDR. High dynamic range video has greater dynamic range than standard dynamic range (SDR) video with brighter whites and deeper blacks. The result is greater contrast and more details in dark and bright areas, better color and depth.


        Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC)

        Denon AVR-S650H supports Audio Return Channel (ARC) which allows the compatible TV to send audio signal to the a/v receiver through the same HDMI cable which is used to send audio and video signals to the TV. So one HDMI cable is used to transfer audio signal in both directions. New Enhanced ARC will support uncompressed audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD Master Audio whereas the previous ARC could support only Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, DTS HD, and PCM.


        Gaming Features

        Denon AVR-S650H supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for lag-free and smooth gaming.
