your family and friends can enjoy their favorite tracks.
With the built-in Wi-Fi feature, you can connect the AVR-S900W
to your home network wirelessly and open up a whole new world
of content streaming functions, including the ability to stream
content from subscription services such as Pandora, Spotify and
SiriusXM, and listen to thousands of internet radio stations.

8 HDMI Inputs, Dual HDMI Outputs
Equipped with no less than 8 HDMI inputs, the AVR-S900W fea-
tures 7 HDMI inputs on the rear panel, along with another HDMI
input on the front panel that lets you conveniently connect your
favorite game console, HDTV camcorder or other HDMI device.
The dual HDMI outputs let you drive two separate HDMI-equipped
displays at the same time.
Powerful 7 Channel Discrete Amplifier with Eco Mode
With each channel rated at a maximum power of 185 watts, the
AVR-S900W features a power amplifier design that incorporates
multiple high current discrete output devices, with identical cir-
cuit topology on all 7 channels.
Our new Eco Mode provides the ability to reduce overall power
consumption and features an on-screen Eco Meter that lets you
see the power consumption reduction effect.
The Auto Eco mode automatically switches between normal and
Eco modes, depending on the volume level chosen, and the power
amplifier block is rated to drive low impedance speaker loads,
down to 4 ohms, for compatibility and stability with virtually any
loudspeaker model.
Audyssey bronze Built-in
The AVR-S900W features the Audyssey bronze family of DSP
technologies, which includes MultEQ room acoustic measure-
ment and correction. Via the supplied measuring microphone, the
MultEQ system first measures actual in-room response from all
the speakers, including the subwoofer, and then quickly gener-
ates multiple precision digital filters that ensure the smoothest
possible response.
Audyssey Dynamic Volume uses DSP algorithms to smooth out
jumps in volume, such as commercials, letting you hear clearly
even at lower listening levels. Audyssey Dynamic EQ provides
sophisticated tonal balancing, delivering smooth, rich response
across the entire audio range.
Multi-Room Listening
Thanks to the AVR-S900W’s flexible Amp Assign function, you
can choose to power a 5.1 channel home theater surround
system, and dedicate the 2 additional amp channels to deliver
stereo sound to a pair of speakers in another room. Watch a sur-
round sound movie in the main room with the ability to have a
separate stereo source playing in a second room.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs
Depending on the location of the subwoofer in a listening room
relative to the listening position, the deep bass quality can be
marred by in-room resonances that negatively affect bass qual-
ity, with peaks and dips that together produce boomy bass and
muddy bass detail.
Equipped with dual subwoofer outputs, the AVR-S900W lets you
use two subwoofers, placed in different locations in the listening
room. By having two subs in different locations in the room, the
bass quality can very often be significantly better due to re-
sponse averaging, with smoother, deeper bass free of annoying
peaks and dips.
