Grooves that go the distance: Set whole-home vinyl vibes with HEOS


There’s a reason vinyl has made a comeback—it connects you to music in a way digital never could. Vinyl is special because it’s more than sound—it’s an experience. The needle drops, the room fills, and suddenly you’re part of something that feels alive.


With Denon and HEOS whole-home sound, that experience doesn’t have to stop at your turntable. You can stream your records wirelessly in every room, giving you freedom without losing the warmth and character that make vinyl special.


Whether you’re relaxing on the couch, cooking while your favorite album plays in the kitchen, or hosting friends who drift from room to room, your vinyl soundtrack can follow you everywhere. Here’s how to set up a simple, seamless multiroom vinyl playback system with Denon.

Step 1: Start with a turntable that’s easy to love



This setup starts with a turntable as the source, and the Denon DP-300F makes vinyl playback simple and reliable. It’s fully automatic, so even first-time users can drop the needle with a button press. And because it has a built-in phono stage, it’s compatible with more AVRs and other components.


If you’re new to turntables, the DP-300F is a stress-free entry point. If you’ve been collecting records for years, it’s a dependable daily driver that lets the music take center stage.

Step 2: Add the Denon Home Amp and passive speakers



Next comes the bridge between vinyl and whole-home wireless: the Denon Home Amp. This sleek, low-profile two-channel amp is the perfect way to bring your turntable output to life.


Connect your DP-300F to the Amp, then hook the Amp up to a pair of passive speakers, such as Polk Reserve R200 or Signature Elite ES15 bookshelf models. These powerful speakers deliver room-filling sound in a compact footprint, giving your music space to breathe and delivering clear mids, detailed highs, and impactful low end. It feels like a traditional stereo system—but with a modern upgrade.


The Home Amp doesn’t just power your speakers; it brings your turntable into the HEOS ecosystem, which means your vinyl is now part of a wireless multiroom setup.

Step 3: Expand your system with Denon Home speakers


Once you are connected to systems Powered by HEOS, you’re no longer limited to one setup or one room. Add Denon Home speakers throughout your spaces: a compact Denon Home 150 in the bedroom for morning listening, a Denon Home 250 in the kitchen for cooking sessions, and a Denon Home 350 in the living room when you want dance party-level power.


You can group Denon Home speakers together so every speaker plays the sound from your turntable, or split them—vinyl in one room, streaming playlists in another.

Step 4: Control it all with the HEOS app


Your whole-home system is powered by HEOS and controlled by Denon’s simple, intuitive HEOS app. With just a few taps, you can send your vinyl sound to every room or just a select few, adjust volume room by room, and switch between your turntable, streaming services, or even a TV source. Everything syncs seamlessly. No wires running through walls, no complicated setups—just the flexibility to make your music fit your lifestyle.

Why upgrade to multiroom vinyl?


For vinyl lovers: There’s nothing like hearing the nuances of your favorite record. A Denon multiroom setup preserves that warmth and detail while giving you the freedom to move around your home.


For entertainers: Hosting a gathering? No more cramming around the turntable. Your records expand with the party, filling the whole home with music that matches the energy and flow. No matter where your guests are, they’ll still stay connected to the music.


For families: Different rooms for different tastes. One person can enjoy vinyl in the living room and another can listen in the kitchen, while someone else streams a podcast or playlist in the bedroom. Everyone gets what they want without fighting over a single system.

One connected system, endless possibilities


This is what the Denon upgrade is about—removing limits. Instead of vinyl in one room only, you’re unlocking vinyl everywhere. Instead of choosing between analog warmth or wireless convenience, you get both. And instead of a system that feels intimidating, you get one that’s straightforward to set up and simple to use.


Vinyl has always been about connection—the tactile connection to the music, the emotional connection to the performance, the shared connection with friends and family. With Denon and HEOS, that connection doesn’t stop at the turntable. It carries through every room, every mood, and every moment. Upgrade your system, and let your records become the soundtrack to your whole home.
