Original reports state that the DHT-8313 is perfect for a 32″ TV with output levels of 20W x 3 for the front speakers  and 20W from the subwoofer. The DHT-S413 is made for 40″ TV screens and higher with front speakers output of 25W x 3 and 25W for the subwoofer. Each version has the Dolby Virtual Speaker surround sound, Dolby Pro Logic ll, DTS support, PCM audio for Blu-ray, and a surround option with five genre specific modes.

Surround sound and the placement of the speakers is detrimental to your home theater. The great people at HD Nation speak indepth about this in the clip below. Regardless that this clip is a few years old, the basis of the topic is interesting.

Denon states they have “raised the bar” with their two new systems. We understand the importance of a sound system and where it’s placed. Just click on the picture to the left for a bigger version to help you set up your home theater. We have examples on how to layout your theater right here on our website under the heading, “Layout Ideas”. These are just diagrams but we do custom layout configurations for our customers.

We hope the DHT-8313 and the DHT-S413 are released in North America so we can have more reviews about it and we can hear it for ourselves. If Denon has raised the bar, we would love to test this out. There are so many choices on the market so choosing a surround sound system can be hard. We ensure to write about as many new releases as possible to give you options to choose from.

We always appreciate your comments and feedback so contact through Facebook, Twitter, email or by phone. If you have purchased the Denon DHT-8313 or the DHT-S413, we would love to hear your opinions.

Have your seating in between your speakers, directly facing your projection screen or TV. This will give you optimal sound and a proper line of sight. You can see by the diagram on the left that the seating is directly in the middle of both the speakers and the TV. To enlarge the picture just click it.

The size of the room is equally as important.  Too many chairs will result in an inefficient home theater. Sound quality, comfort, and your view will all suffer. We have custom layouts, based on configuration best suited for your needs. To view the straight and curved rows, please click here. Since we are the manufacturer we can also customize any layout configuration so if you see something you want in this diagram, please let us know and we will gladly help. If there is a configuration not listed that you are looking for just let us know and we will make that a reality for you.

 The following clip gives you an idea how to place your speakers in your home theater.

Here is another layout configuration detailing the distance needed to get the best results from your home theater experience. We ensure you have enough wall clearance by using the “wall saver” incliner mechanism that only requires 2″-4″ behind the chair. If you have limited space in your home theater, this can be very beneficial. Aisle depth is also important as front reclining chairs are 24″, it is recommended to have rows 30″-40″ in clearance. This is detailed in this picture, just click on the image to enlarge it.
