If your TV and AV receiver are ARC-enabled, you can either use an HDMI cable or an optical or coaxial cable to play the TV audio through the receiver.
Note: Normally, not all HDMI connectors on a TV or an AV receiver are ARC compatible. ARC is clearly printed near the HDMI connector when it supports ARC, allowing you to determine if this HDMI connector is ARC compatible.
This is an example of a TV panel with HDMI (ARC) connector
This is an image of an ARC compatible HDMI connector on an AVR
You can also refer to your owner's manual to determine if your device is ARC compatible.
1. Procedure using an optical or coaxial cable
- Connect an optical or coaxial cable from the TV's 'Optical or Coaxial' Audio OUT connector to the 'Optical or coaxial' input connector on the AV receiver.
AVR/TV connection using optical cable
AVR/TV connection using coaxial cable
- Select 'TV AUDIO' on your receiver (Use 'TV AUDIO' button on your remote or 'SOURCE SELECT' knob or buttons on the receiver).
'TV AUDIO' button on remote control
This is an example of an AVR with 'SOURCE SELECT' knob.
This is an example of an AVR with 'SOURCE SELECT' buttons.
Note: If at this point you don't get the audio from the TV to play through the receiver, then go into the setup menu (Press the setup button) and select INPUTS>INPUT ASSIGN and select 'TV AUDIO'.
2. Procedure using a HDMI cable
- Connect the HDMI cable from the ARC HDMI input connector on your TV to the ARC HDMI out (Monitor) connector on your AV receiver.
- Select 'TV AUDIO' on your receiver (Use 'TV AUDIO' button on your remote or 'SOURCE SELECT' knob or buttons on the receiver).
You should now be able to output the TV audio through your AV receiver.
Note: To use ARC, you must turn on HDMI control in the menu of the receiver, as well as the TV. The TV must also have the correct settings to enable audio to be output to the receiver.
To turn on HDMI control in the receiver, press the SETUP button on the remote, select VIDEO, then HDMI Setup. In that menu, you will be able to turn on HDMI Control. Once HDMI Control is turned on, the receiver will accept the ARC audio from the TV. This is literally the only thing that has to be done in the receiver's menu. This is only half of the equation, though as the TV must also be set up to output the audio to an external device and have its own HDMI control turned on. As a basic rule, if you hear the audio from the TV speakers, then the TV is not set up correctly.
Once this is set up correctly, you cannot manually select the source on the receiver. It will automatically switch to “TV Audio” when you start Netflix on the TV.

Denon Hd 2500 Reviews
I chose this because it had a B channel I can use for my outdoor speakers when we are swimming in the pool and hanging out in the backyard. It also gives Bluetooth capability to listen to a movie or show after the kids have gone to bed without blowing the house up. It also has 2 optical inputs that are assignable, which I like for flexibility of set up. One last feature I was looking for was the ability to set a remote IR eye so I can hide this receiver in a cabinet out of sight. [ Miles Oct 09, 2018 ]
It has slightly better features than the AVR-S740H and was heavily discounted since it's not the latest model. [ Dustin Oct 06, 2018 ]
Crutchfield rep Carson helped me with the order. I explained to him my home theater speakers and he recommended this receiver. After looking into further and reading reviews online, I decided it was a good receiver for the money. [ Michael Oct 06, 2018 ]

I know Denon has a great reputation for performance, and I was looking for a highly rated av receiver at the price point I wanted to pay. [ Keith Aug 01, 2018 ]
Wanted to be able to use blue tooth, wifi, air play but most importantly control music from libraries from one location. Seems like Heos will work. The built in HEOs into a receiver wasn't that much more then the stand alone $350 Heos link. Made no sense to buy the link when for an extra $50 I get an entire receiver [ sean Jul 10, 2018 ]
I needed a 4K HD A/V receiver to go with a new TV. I currently have a Denon that has served me well and this model has the features that I wanted for the upgrade. [ GENE Jun 27, 2018 ]

Value [ Lian Apr 24, 2018 ]
Love the aesthetics of this receiver! Looks user friendly. Like the way the plugs on the back are laid out. Next is the power, the ability to use multi zones with two different sources, Wi-Fi and blue tooth enabling. Seems like I can do a lot of different things with it down the road. This is my First Denon product, so we will see. [ C Mar 09, 2018 ]

iS THE X-1400H a new?[ Edgar Mar 05, 2019 ]
Yes its a new unit. Works great.
Yes. Just started using it last week.
No, there are newer and more expensive options. I've bought this one when the price went down from $600 to $400. It's a great receiver for my needs.
I have a speaker selector to play music in other rooms in my home. What would I use to connect this device ? Which outputs on the receiver ?? [ Jerry-Deneice Feb 23, 2019 ]
You would use a different zone selector. Zone 2 not main speakers.
Does this receiver allow you do true hdmi pass through by disabling the on screen menu/volume overlay? I am trying to avoid extra input lag. [ Tythetyger Feb 10, 2019 ]
Yes it dose, and it will switch the hdmi pass through as well.
Can you have a record player input to this and then stream to both wired and airplay 2 speakers at the same time? [ David Jan 08, 2019 ]
I don't have a record player so I can't answer you question.
Short answer is yes. Took a while to get the setting right but works great! Had to look at a you tube video to trouble shoot.
What is meant by 'optical/coaxial digital and HDMI audio sources cannot be output to Zone 2'? What sources can be used with zone 2? [ Graydon Jan 07, 2019 ]
In order to output to zone 2, make sure you have your receiver's amp assignment set to zone 2. To check this, access the GUI or menu and select: Speakers/Manual Setup/Amp assign.Make sure you have an analog backup aside from optical or digital coaxial connections. You will need this backup connection because most models cannot convert (DAC) the digital input signal which is needed for zone 2 output. Also make sure zone 2 is selected on your Denon remote, the correct zone 2 source is set, and the zone 2 volume is adjusted.
Analog sources only on zone 2.
Do you have to have a 4X TV, or will an old HDTV (without audio feedback) work with the Denon AVRX1400H? [ Tekguy Dec 31, 2018 ]
A 4K TV with HDMI ARC? No; these are not requirements but the Denon does support the options should you choose to upgrade. It's compatible with regular HDTVs as well.I hope that helpsMy Bio:https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Ryan
Reliability of the Denon 1400. Is this model of Denon have better long-term reliability than the Denon AVRX 1300? Over six months ago, my model 1300 started to intermittently strop sending a signal to the ARC input of our TV. It has stopped transmitting completely now. Do I stay with Denon or do I need to look elsewhere? If so, what is a comparable model that is reliable with good support if needed? [ Craig Johnson Dec 16, 2018 ]
Denon is typically well built gear and because of that, one of our longest running receiver brands. We have advisors that can help discuss other options with you too that you can reach by calling 1-800-324-9695My Bio: https://www.crutchfield.com/bio/Paul
Can i use my Bose speakers with this unit.? [ William Nov 27, 2018 ]
Yes and speaker can be wired to the unit.
Not a real audio geek here, but I don't see why not. Working great with my in wall 5.1 setup.
Should be able to, I am sing Wharfdale and Polk audio speakers
I would say yes. I have Focal speakers hooked up to this unit but I have old Bose speakers hooked up to my old Denon AVR-4310CI which work well.
It should. The amp connects via RCA so you would need positive and negative connections at the end of the wires coming from each speaker into the unit to have RCA style plug ends. If they don't already, it may be worth buying the ends. You can get those here too
Does this model allow remote programming for TV power? [ Stinna Nov 25, 2018 ]
If your TV has Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) and it is turned on, then the Denon AVR will be able to power the TV on and off through the HDMI.
Can Zone 2 play from digital sources like a cable tv on Pandora? I see some receivers like Onkyo can only play analog on Zone 2 [ DbMac Nov 12, 2018 ]
To be honest, I have not set mine up yet to play more than one zone. It is however on my to-do list. Please let me know if you get that question answered. Thanks!
Did I miss the sub woofer output? i didn't see a plug in the back for this. [ Patrick Aug 22, 2018 ]
Yes it has and I'm using the subwoofer output.
It's at the top left about 2 inches over from the edge. Great receiver.
Do all HDMI inputs allow for video output to the TV? I see some inputs labelled at CD, does this input also display video to TV so I could put a video device on this input? [ Joshua Jun 25, 2018 ]
I can't answer this question at this time. I bought this device for new home build I'm am doing so I haven't hooked it up yet.
Yes it does. I watch my TV through my Denon.
I purchased by Denon 1400H from Crutchfield. How can I watch tv (cable box) and listen to music (Spotify) at the same time? [ Warren Apr 28, 2018 ]
I do this using individual zones all the time. Two speakers in zone 1 and two speakers in zone 2. Send the cable box to zone 1 and HEOS/spotify to zone 2. Easy!
Denon Hd 2500 Music Manager
I have wondered the same thing while listening to Pandora on HEOS, but haven't spent anytime trying to figure it out. I would like to know if there is a remedy.Thank you, Steve Shuck
Can use use 2 wireless HEOS speakers as surround speakers together with wired 3.1 speakers for a 5.1 setup with the X1400H (similar as with the HEOS AVR)? Denon Firmware Update
[ Dirk Dec 10, 2017 ]
You cannot, no. You can share sources with other HEOS speakers/players on the same network but you cannot use HEOS speakers as wireless surrounds with the AVR-X1400H.
Can I play home theater output to both wired speakers and a HEOS speaker at the same time? We have to turn up the TV loud to hear over cooking. I'd like to put a HEOS in the kitchen, so the theater would play audio through the surround sound in the living room, and through the HEOS at the same time. [ Chris Jul 01, 2017 ]
Denon Hd 2500 Manual
In order to do this you have to run analog cables (RCA) from your source (blu ray player, cable box, TV audio) to the AVR. DENON has a great explanation of this on their FAQ portion of their website.
I'm afraid the HDMI & optical/coax digital inputs on the Denon AVR-X1400H are not supported sources that can be wirelessly distributed through the HEOS system. For more details or to discuss further, please feel free to contact an Advisor directly by phone (888.955.6000) or online chat.
