        8. Immersive Audio Formats

        Dolby Atmos

        Denon AVR-X3300W supports Dolby Atmos.

        • Dolby Surround Upmixer: Denon AVR-X3300W supports Dolby Surround Upmixer. If the content is not mixed in Dolby Atmos then the Dolby surround upmixer will expand the audio to all channels including ceiling speakers. The upmixer has replaced the Dolby Pro Logic II family with improved upmixing algorithms.

        DTS:X

        Denon AVR-X3300W supports DTS:X.

        • DTS Neural:X: Denon AVR-X3300W supports DTS Neural:X which is an advanced upmixer that can take non DTS:X content and upmix it to the DTS:X speaker layout. It has replaced the DTS Neo family with improved flexibility.
        • DTS Dialog Control: Denon AVR-X3300W supports DTS Dialog Control. This function adjusts the dialog levels during playback of the DTS:X stream. It allows you to separately increase the dialog levels in contrast with the background sound and hear dialog easily even under noisy circumstances.

        9. HDMI

        Denon AVR-X3300W comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 for MAIN and 1 for ZONE2.

        Sony STR-ZA1000ES comes with 5 HDMI inputs. It has 2 outputs - 1 Main and 1 Sub/Zone2.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough: On both receivers all inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
        • 4K Upscaling: Both receivers can upscale up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 from HDMI sources. Denon AVR-X3300W can also upscale from analog sources.
        • Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Denon AVR-X3300W 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-X3300W only).
        • HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Both receivers are 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-X3300W supports HDR10, Dolby Vision and Hybrid Log-Gamma.

        Sony STR-ZA1000ES 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.


        Gaming Features

        Denon AVR-X3300W supports Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for lag-free and smooth gaming.

        10. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Analog Pre-Outs: Denon AVR-X3300W has 7.2 preamplifier outputs which allows you to connect the receiver to the external power amplifier. You may want to use a high quality external amplifier for certain channels, usually for front L/R and center, and use the receiver to power the rest. Also, both receivers have 7 channel processing but have only 7 channel amplifiers, so they need external amplifiers connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach their maximum speaker configurations.
        • Analog Line Inputs: There are 5 pair of line inputs on Denon AVR-X3300W and 4 pair of line inputs on Sony STR-ZA1000ES for connecting sources with analog outputs.
        • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Denon AVR-X3300W and 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available on Sony STR-ZA1000ES for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") output jack on Denon AVR-X3300W for headphones.
