Buying journey

Guided discovery, not a generic product grid.

Each step helps customers ask better questions and understand when Audico expertise matters.

Journey

Start with channel count

A Denon AV receiver should be chosen around the speaker layout the room can actually support. A compact media room may only need 5.1 or 5.1.2, with one pair of height speakers and a single well-placed subwoofer. Larger cinemas may need 7.1.4, dual subwoofers, external amplification or pre-outs for future expansion. Buying too few channels blocks upgrades, but buying too many wastes budget that may be better spent on speakers, acoustic treatment or installation. Audico should map the layout before naming the receiver.

Journey

Check the HDMI and source plan

Modern Denon receivers often become the HDMI hub for game consoles, Apple TV or other streamers, Blu-ray players, decoders and the main display or projector. Before choosing the model, confirm 4K or 8K needs, HDR formats, 4K/120 gaming, VRR, eARC, cable length and whether a second display zone is required. Source planning prevents handshake problems and avoids using the TV as an accidental switcher. It also clarifies whether the customer needs simple family operation, advanced calibration access or custom-control integration.

Journey

Match room correction to the space

Room correction can make a Denon system more coherent, but it cannot rescue poor speaker placement or a bad subwoofer position. Audyssey setup, Dirac-capable models, microphone placement, speaker distances, levels, crossover points and target curves all affect whether the system feels effortless or uneven. The installer should first place speakers sensibly, then measure, then adjust rather than accepting default results blindly. In difficult rooms, dual subwoofers, bass management and acoustic treatment may deliver a bigger improvement than changing receiver model.

Journey

Add streaming and multi-room deliberately

HEOS can connect a cinema room, lounge, kitchen or patio into a practical multi-room listening system without adding another platform. For residential customers, that means streaming music through Denon and compatible Marantz products with familiar app control. For business or hospitality spaces, simplicity and locked-down operation may matter more than feature depth. Audico should decide who controls zones, whether guests need access, how network coverage is handled and whether local inputs such as TV audio should be shared to other rooms.
