[AVSjd]

Denon has now officially announced the X8500H "A" upgrade program which will start on June 15, 2021.  The "A" upgrade will cost $599 (USA)/$749(CA) with the X8500HA being released from the factory in June with an increased MSRP of $4499).  "Ground" shipping (ie. 3-7 days) is FREE both ways; however, you can pay an additional fee for either "Expedited" shipping (e. 2-5 days) or "Overnight" shipping.

AVR-X8500H HDMI 8K Upgrade The Denon HDMI 8K Upgrade enables the latest HDMI specifications on your beloved AVR-X8500H including 8K/60Hz and 4K/120Hz pass-through capabilities to achieve your flagship home entertainment aspirations. AV Receivers | Denon

Important Notice:

Before purchasing the upgrade, please take time to read through “HDMI 8K Upgrade Information” document to understand important changes on your product. After the upgrade, your AVR will default back to factory status and the current settings stored on your AVR will be lost. It is necessary to setup and configure your AVR from the beginning.

Due to the nature of this product upgrade, we are unable to accept returns.

90 days warranty for parts and labor will be offered by our regional service partners. It does not replace the existing warranty period for the product itself.

***  Note that if your AVR has yet to go out of the 3 year warranty and requires warranty repair in addition to the "A" upgrade, it is important to send your unit in before your 3 year warranty expires as the above 90 day warranty only applies to the "A" upgrade.

jd, your recent posts are all really tough to read with very light text. Maybe it's a forum setting but just FYI.

The post from my end looks the same as your post; however, I changed the font color to black so maybe that will help you see it better, although again, looks the same to me.

When reading the forum is your background dark or light? I tried switching to the "AVS-Dark" and then your post looked fine, but if I return to the Default which is "AVS-Light" it goes back to very light text (even after your edit) on white background - and I have to highlight to read it, as Craig mentioned. Your older posts don't look like that though, just the most recent 3-4.

I fixed the display problem by removing formatting codes in the post.

We are now accepting pre-orders for the new Denon X8500HA (ie. with the fixed 8k HDMI board installed at the factory).  It should start being released sometime this month (June).  This new rebadged "A" model will NOT require the SPK618 HDMI Adapter box that is required with the 2020 Denon/Marantz models as well as the AVR-A110 Anniversary model.

We now have the new Denon X8500HA (ie. with the HDMI 2.1 "A" upgrade installed at the factory) in stock.  Call for pricing if interested.  We also throw in an Auro 3D Version 2 Demo Disc as well.
