Denon's New AVR-S510BT Receiver Does Bluetooth, HDMI 2.0 and HDCP for Under $300

By Rachel Cericola

Just yesterday, we mentioned how many companies had started unleashing new receivers. Denon Electronics is releasing its very first receiver for the 2015 "S" Series -- and it's a good one. The AVR-S510BT 5.2 Channel Full 4K HD A/V Receiver is the first in a series of three that will include that wireless technology.

That little perk means that you'll be able to wirelessly stream music right to your home theater setup from any smartphone, tablet and any other device that has the A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile).

Promising 140 watts per channel (6ohm, 1kHz, 1ch driven, THD10%), the AVR-S510BT has an automatic setup with a room EQ and two subwoofer outputs. It's also compatible with the Denon HEOS Link.

Even more impressive is that Denon is giving this component all sorts of high-tech video goodies, but at an affordable price. It features the latest HDMI 2.0 specification and the HDCP 2.2 specification, perfect for the growing 4K setup. It actually has five HDMI inputs, three of which support HDCP 2.2/4K60p.

It can also deliver 4K Ultra HD full frame rate 60Hz pass-through on three inputs along with 4:4:4 Pure Color sub-sampling pass-through. Of course, it also has 3D compatibility on all of the HDMI inputs.

Other features include a USB port on the front panel for charging up your portables, access to the Denon Setup Assistant for an easy configuration process, and support for the Denon 500 Series Remote App for iOS and Android devices.

Denon will start selling the AVR-S510BT sometime in June 2015, with an MSRP of $279.
