You don’t have to use all of them at once — you can start with 2 speakers (stereo) and add more over time. The “.2” refers to two separate subwoofer outputs, which gives you the option of placing subs in two locations in the room for more even bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need 8K TV to use this receiver?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The AVR-S980H supports 8K pass-through, but it works perfectly with any 4K or 1080p TV as well. The HDMI 2.1 ports are also where you get benefits like 4K\/120Hz, VRR, and ALLM for gaming — features that work with current 4K TVs and game consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is HEOS and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEOS is Denon’s whole-home music platform. It lets you stream music to the AVR-S980H and to other HEOS-enabled speakers throughout the house, all from one app. You don’t need HEOS to use the receiver — it also works with Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and Spotify Connect. But if you want whole-home audio or wireless rear surround speakers (via firmware update), HEOS is how you get there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use this as a stereo amplifier for music?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The AVR-S980H works just as well as a two-channel stereo amplifier for music listening as it does as a full surround sound system. You can connect a turntable, stream from Spotify, play from a CD player, or stream hi-res audio. It’s genuinely versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work with my turntable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, if your turntable has a moving magnet (MM) cartridge and no built-in phono stage, plug it directly into the dedicated phono input. If your turntable has a built-in phono preamp (common on most entry-level and mid-range tables), plug it into any standard line input instead and switch the built-in preamp off if it has that option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat’s the difference between this and the older AVR-S970H?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVR-S980H is the 2026 update to the 2022 AVR-S970H. Key additions include: Channel Level Monitoring for easier setup and troubleshooting, 1440p gaming pass-through, AMD FreeSync support, a new browser-based web control interface, and future wireless surround support for Denon Home speakers via firmware update. Core specs like power output and HDMI 2.1 remain similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the wireless rear surrounds available now?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot yet at launch. Denon has confirmed that support for using Denon Home 200, 400, and 600 speakers as wireless rear surround speakers will arrive via a future firmware update. The date hasn’t been announced. Wired surround speakers work fully from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speakers should I pair with this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AVR-S980H works with virtually any passive (non-powered) speakers with 4–16 ohm impedance — bookshelf speakers, floor-standing towers, in-wall speakers, and so on. For surround sound, you’ll typically want a matching center channel and surround speakers from the same brand or line.
