The AVR-X4500H features a sophisticated power amplifier section with all 9 channels configured identically, employing discrete high current capable power transistors. Each channel is rated at 200 watts and all channels 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 reduction in real time.

Premium 9.2 channel AV Surround Receiver offering the most advanced 3D audio suite with Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro-3D built-in. Most remarkably, the 9 channel amplification allows for setting up a 7.2.2 or 5.2.4 3D experience without the need of an external amplifier.

AL32 Processing Multi-channel provides ultra-high-resolution digital 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 effects (LFE) may be out of synch and delayed. Bass Sync technology corrects such a delay of low frequency effects for the perfect audio experience.
