Denon AVR-X1200W A/V Receiver Review Test Bench

Test Bench

This graph shows the AVR-X1200W’s left channel, from Audio1 input to speaker output with two channels driving 8-ohm loads. Measurements for THD+noise, crosstalk, signal-to-noise ratio, and analog/digital frequency response were all within expected performance parameters.

	0.1% THD	1.0% THD
2 Channels Continuously Driven, 8-ohm Loads	112.8 watts	126.1 watts
2 Channels Continuously Driven, 4-ohm Loads	139.2 watts	164.3 watts
5 Channels Continuously Driven, 8-ohm Loads	69.9 watts	78.8 watts
7 Channels Continuously Driven, 8-ohm Loads	47.4 watts	57.9 watts

The Denon does not upconvert; the resolution at its output is the same as the resolution at its input. It also produced a Borderline result in rolling off the highest frequency horizontal chroma response test burst, which was barely visible when viewed from close to the screen.—TJN
