Powerful 9 Channel Discrete Amplifier with ECO Mode
The AVR-X4400H features a sophisticated power amplifier section
with all 9 channels configured identically, employing discrete high
current capable power transistors. Each channel is rated at 125
watts (8 ohm, 20 Hz - 20 kHz, THD 0.05% 2ch Driven) and all chan-
nels are able to safely drive lower impedance speakers (down to 4
ohms). There’s also an Auto Eco mode that adjusts the maximum
power available according to the volume level as well as an on-
screen Eco meter that lets you see the power consumption reduc-
tion in real time.
Advanced Sound Processing
For optimum fidelity and the widest dynamic range with lowest
distortion, the AVR-X4400H features advanced reference-class 32-
bit AKM AK4458VN D/A converters on all channels. This ensures
consistent high fidelity and precise channel matching across all
channels for the ultimate listening experience.
Unique Denon Audio Technologies
AL32 Processing Multi-channel provides ultra-high-resolution digi-
tal audio filtering and precision for all audio channels, to deliver a
natural soundstage with enhanced imaging. For contents recorded
in multi-channel such as Blu-ray discs, the recorded low frequency
eects (LFE) may be out of synch and delayed. Bass Sync technol-
ogy corrects such a delay of low frequency eects for the perfect
audio experience.
Enjoy superb audio fidelity
The AVR-X4400H features high resolution audio decoding with
multiple lossless file types including ALAC, FLAC and WAV at up to
24-bit/196-kHz along with compatibility for 2.8/5.6-MHz DSD files
(DSD is the audio coding format of SACD).

speaker configuration by adding an external stereo amplifier thanks
to its 11.2 channel processing capability.
Ready for the future of home cinema
The AVR-X4400H’s advanced video section is fully compatible
with the latest HDMI and HDCP 2.2 specifications and prepared
for any 4K Ultra HD source. Other features include High Dynamic
Range (HDR), Dolby Vision compatibility, Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG)
and eARC (enhanced Audio Return Channel; via future firmware
update).
You can also enjoy ultra-high-definition pictures from legacy ana-
log and digital sources. With three HDMI outputs, you can even
connect a TV and a projector in the main room, while playing back
dierent content on a second zone screen.
Measure your sound to your room
The AVR-X4400H features the most advanced Audyssey MultEQ
XT32 room acoustic measurement system including Audyssey
Dynamic Volume, Dynamic EQ, LFC and SubEQ HT. Through these
technologies, and with the supplied microphone, it exactly analyzes
each speaker’s output to optimize the overall listening experience.
With the additional Audyssey MultEQ Editor App (available for pur-
chase), very advanced users can even go further “under the hood”
if desired.

custom integration friendly AV components, equipped with a range
of features to provide enhanced control capabilities and compatibility
with 3rd party and custom integration solutions. The AVR-X4400H
features IP control capability for an integration with major 3rd party
control devices and Control4 SDDP (Simple Device Detection Protocol)
certification for quick and easy integration with Control4 home auto-
mation equipment. For direct connection to external home automation
and control equipment, it’s also equipped with an RS-232C serial port.
For simpler integrated control set-ups, the AVR-X4400H features an IR
(infrared) remote control input on the rear panel, allowing remote con-
trol compatibility with other components in your home theater system.
