Denon Adds to Heos Product Line With $999 50-Watt Surround-Sound AV Receiver

Denon bowed a Heos-equipped AV receiver with 5.1-channel surround sound that’s said to be as easy to set up as a soundbar using one cable to a TV. The $999 receiver has four HDMI 2.0a/HDCP 2.2 inputs and can stream music from a home PC or music services including Pandora, Spotify Connect and Tidal to Heos speakers, said Denon Wednesday. The 50-watt receiver, with Bluetooth, is built around a Class D amplifier and will work with wired or wireless speakers, said the company. Shipping is slated for April.
