        9. HDMI

        Denon AVR-X7200WA comes with 8 HDMI inputs. It has 3 outputs - 2 for MAIN and 1 for ZONE2.

        Onkyo TX-SR309 comes with 3 HDMI inputs. It has 1 output.

        • 4K/60Hz Passthrough on Denon AVR-X7200WA: All inputs pass up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 video signal.
          1080/60p Passthrough on Onkyo TX-SR309: All inputs pass up to 1080p video signal.
        • 4K Upscaling on Denon AVR-X7200WA: It can upscale up to 4K 50/60Hz 4:4:4 from HDMI and analog sources.
        • Analog To HDMI Upconversion: Denon AVR-X7200WA 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-X7200WA only).
        • HDCP 2.2 Copy Protection: Denon AVR-X7200WA is HDCP 2.2 compliant which is a requirement for 4K/HDR copy-protected content transmission.

        10. Inputs and Outputs

        Audio

        • Phono Input: There is an MM phono input on Denon AVR-X7200WA with built-in phono stage for connecting the moving magnet cartridge output of the turntable directly to the receiver.
        • 7.1 Multichannel Input: In case you have a high quality Blu-Ray or a DVD player with multichannel analog outputs you may connect it to a 7.1 multichannel analog inputs of Denon AVR-X7200WA and use high quality DACs of the player instead of the ones in the receiver.
        • Analog Pre-Outs: Denon AVR-X7200WA has 13.2 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, Denon AVR-X7200WA has 11 channel processing but has only 9 channel amplifier, so it needs external amplifier connected to the analog pre-outs in order to reach its maximum speaker configuration.
        • Analog Line Inputs and Outputs: There are 7 pair of line inputs on Denon AVR-X7200WA and 6 pair of line inputs on Onkyo TX-SR309 for connecting sources with analog outputs. There is also 1 pair of line outputs on Onkyo TX-SR309.
        • Digital Inputs: 2 optical inputs and 2 coaxial inputs are available on Denon AVR-X7200WA and 2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input are available on Onkyo TX-SR309 for digital audio connections.
        • Headphone Output: There is a 6.3 mm (1/4") headphone output jack on the front panel of each receiver.
