About the Denon AVR-X8500H Denons 13-channel AVR-H8500H: rock-solid inside and outDenon introduces the worlds first 13-channel receiverThe Crutchfield team saw a lot of exciting innovations at CES 2018 in Las Vegas. One of the main highlights was the AVR-X8500H, Denons latest flagship home theater receiver. This 13-channel beast (rated at 150 watts per channel) certainly caught our attention. As our correspondent JR put it, for anyone that wants to do [Dolby] Atmos, this seems like a go-to product.New heights for overhead soundThe X8500H offers the most flexibility for setting up an Atmos system that weve ever seen from a single A/V component. You can add as many as six overhead or Atmos enabled speakers in up to a 7.1.6 configuration, or you can set up a 9.1.4 system with front width speakers to create a larger soundstage — no additional amp required! And you can use up to two subwoofers, supported by discrete outputs on the receiver, in any Atmos configuration.Loaded with up-to-the-minute featuresIn addition to its impressive Dolby Atmos capabilities, the X8500H supports DTS:X and Auro-3D for realistic, multidimensional surround sound that puts you in the middle of the action. This receiver also passes 4K video signals, including those encoded with HDR information, to your 4K TV. And it even upscales HD and standard definition video to 4K resolution. Plus you can stream music from different sources and enjoy high-resolution music in your living room — or any room in your house.Streamline your music with HEOS Built-inHEOS Built-in technology lets you access all your music — from your personal library, internet radio, and popular streaming services like Pandora®, Spotify®, and TIDAL — through the X8500H.This receiver can be easily integrated into a wireless multi-room audio system. Stream music to HEOS wireless speakers and components in different rooms, and control each rooms sound independently with the free HEOS app. The app lets you control playback, browse music sources, and select which rooms you want to use. Play the same music throughout your home, or listen to something different in each room.Complete multi-room flexibilityThe X8500H has a Zone 2 HDMI output so you can watch video from two separate sources in your living room and a second room. With outputs for 15 speakers, you get plenty of options for setting up your home theater exactly the way you want it, and expanding into other rooms (dont forget, it can only power 13 speakers at a time).While going for a full-on 9.1.4 or 7.1.6 Atmos system sounds just glorious to us, a simpler 9.1.2 or 7.1.4 Atmos system can still provide an awesome home theater experience while leaving you two free channels to power a set of speakers outdoors or in another room.And thats just one example. This receiver supports more speaker configurations than we have room to cover here. Basically, if youre happy using fewer channels in your home theater, it can power speakers in two additional zones. Or you can use one of the extra sets of height channels to bi-amp compatible front speakers for more powerful sound. Or you can just use all 13 channels to power the baddest Atmos, DTS:X, or Auro 3D home theater system anyone has ever seen.

As a personal seller taking some time off work to catch up on listing or donating items that have accumulated over the years, heres the good, the bad, and the ugly about what you can expect from me... and what I expect from you (a.k.a. the fine print). Buying First, every item listed has been tested, its serial number has been logged, and it has been packaged, weighed, and measured for quick and accurate shipping. Therefore, your item should ship within hours if not minutes of receiving payment, and youll receive your tracking information right away. Additionally, because I include actual weights and dimensions in my listings, the shipping cost you see here is the actual shipping cost I will incur based on your zip code and shipping method. Second, your feedback is very important to me, so after you receive your item, please take a moment to leave positive feedback for me. Once received, I will immediately do the same for you. My goal is to satisfy every buyer, so if you have an issue with an item, please reach out and give me a chance to resolve it before requesting a return or leaving negative feedback. Youre also welcome to use my contact info to ask any initial support questions you might have. Just dont abuse the offer. ;) Returning Now for the hard part. I hope my feedback speaks for itself and this upfront honesty doesnt deter you, but as a small-time seller of personal items, know that I simply dont have the pockets or workforce of Amazon or other large retailers to absorb the time and costs of a liberal return policy, often with buyers who abuse the system or treat products and packaging carelessly. Therefore, please understand when I acknowledge that Ive grown more pedantic about returns over the years, and when I ask that you please do your homework and ask questions before buying, dont expect a free and easy return with no questions asked, and please make your purchase as though all sales are final, even though I certainly consider the following exceptions: 1) Justifiable Returns: If theres an unexpected issue with your item and youve reached out to me for help and we cant resolve the issue together, I will provide you with a prepaid return shipping label to send the item back to me. Upon receipt of the return, I will test and inspect the item to confirm its issue aligns with the reason provided for its return and to ensure it isnt a fraudulent return (see #3 below). If everything checks out, youll receive a full refund, including your original shipping costs. If the issue or condition of the item does not align with the reason provided for the return, both your original and return shipping costs will be deducted from your refund, as well as any appropriate restocking fee if the condition of the item or its packaging is notably degraded from the condition sold. Note that if you have provided an inaccurate reason for your return, you will be reported to eBay. 2) Optional Returns: If youve simply changed your mind, didnt do your homework before buying, etc., I may still accept your return as long as youve reached out to me first, agreed to pay return shipping costs, accepted that original shipping costs will be deducted from your refund, and assured me that the same item with all of its original packaging will be received back in the condition sold. Upon receipt of your return, I will test and inspect the item and its packaging to evaluate their condition and ensure it isnt a fraudulent return (see #3 below). If everything checks out, youll receive the refund we agreed to before you returned the item. If the condition of any part of the item or its packaging is notably degraded or missing, I will deduct an appropriately stiff restocking fee, because Im picky about my stuff. If you arent comfortable with the deduction, I can return the item back to you at your expense. 3) Fraudulent Returns: As someone whos been burned too many times by switcheroos and other creative ways of abusing the system, my tracking process has become painfully detailed to prevent such attempts. First, know that every item listed has been owned within my family unless noted otherwise, and yet where possible, every item is retested before being packaged to sell. Therefore, the likelihood of experiencing a legitimate issue with my items is minimal. As part of this process, all components are cataloged by recording their serial number, or for items without a serial number, a subtle identifier is placed somewhere discrete within the item and photographed, so that if it the item is returned, I can verify it is the same item sold. If a different item is received, no refund will be issued at all, and you will be reported to eBay for collection of return shipping costs and to flag you for the protection of future sellers. Summary In a nutshell, you can expect to receive items that meet or exceed their description, with top-notch service before and after the sale. In exchange, I ask for quick payment, effective communication, positive feedback, and personable respect for my items and the capacity in which I am selling and supporting them. And though I cant afford to promise you easy returns or years of support, I CAN make sure your initial satisfaction is everything it should be, so please buy with confidence!
