Product Information

Your TV Never Sounded Better

Built by the market leader in AV receivers, the Denon DHT-S517 transforms any TV into a home entertainment center. The sleek sound bar with integrated up-firing speakers and the powerful subwoofer offer thrilling 3D audio with Dolby Atmos overhead effects. Quickly connect your TV, Blu-ray, or other devices through the HDMI (with Enhanced Audio Return Channel) and optical inputs and easily stream your favorite music via Bluetooth.

3D Sound with Dolby Atmos

Spectacular, immersive surround sound experience tuned by the Denon Sound Masters for the perfect home theater. Enjoy enhanced bass, crystal clear dialogue, and enveloping sound from this 3.1.2 sound bar configuration.

Universal compatibility with eARC

The DHT-S517 works with all TVs. Use the included HDMI cable to send audio from your smart TV and other connected sources to the sound bar via the HDMI Enhanced Audio Return Channel (eARC). Once connected, you can seamlessly control the sound bar volume with your TV remote. Non-HDMI ARC TVs can connect via the digital optical input.

Wireless music streaming

Your favorite tracks are at your fingertips. Easily stream your favorite music directly from your smart device to your sound bar via Bluetooth.

Easy setup and use

With all cables in the box, a Quick Start Guide, and a straightforward user concept, the DHT-S517 is easy to install and use. The sound bar can be either controlled by the supplied remote or works automatically with most TV remotes directly or via HDMI control.

Dialogue Enhancer

Denon Dialogue Enhancer improves dialogue intelligibility with three different modes—ideal for movies and TV shows. You can even turn up the dialogue without having to adjust the overall volume.

High-performance build quality

The DHT-S517 is equipped with a left and right midrange and tweeter, a dedicated center channel, plus two up-firing speakers. Together with the wireless subwoofer, this adds up to a powerful 3.1.2 speaker configuration.

Sound modes for any occasion

With three different sound modes — Movie, Music, and Night — you can choose the perfect mode for any occasion.

Very Happy
This is my first soundbar and I'm very happy with it. Set up is very easy, sound is incredible, and I love that I can adjust the level of bass as needed depending on what I'm watching.

Worth it but with a strange issue
Good sound and ok looking. The fact that theres no way to turn off the led in the front makes no sense. Other soundbars working with this system give you the option to have it wither on or off after a couple of seconds. For the price it should be better designed

DHT-S517 sound-bar and sub-woofer
The sound quality is excellent. I really like the the dialog enhance options along with the other settings that affect the sound. I often use the Pure setting with medium dialog enhancement. Great value for the price.

Denon DHT-S517 is just right
The DHT-S517 has all the features I wanted and does them very well at a nice price:
- The dialog enhancer really works and even made my wife happy. No more closed caption during shows.
- The pure mode for music is my preferred listening mode and is clear, detailed and just sounds right.
- The wireless subwoofer provides the low end at whatever level we want.
- Dolby Atmos decoding with upfiring speakers makes it future proof as more and more streaming services are adding it.

Big upgrade
Tremendous improvement over TV speakers. Setup as 3.1 gives much better separation over standard 2ch bars. Atmos is slightly detectable in my room, but expectations are low since it's a reflective arrangement. Subwoofer does what it needs to: supportive bottom range without sounding hollow, but don't expect deep lows or pressurized bass. Really enjoy the ability to use TV or cable remotes to control volume. Clarity and flat EQ is really nice when playing music on "pure audio" setting.

Love the Bar
Great sound! Easy set up, usual finding the right spot for the sub, but otherwise Denon has done a good job here. Would like some control, ie, equalizing, but it's ok really. Very satisfied and would recommend!
