Product Description |
|
AVR-1910 is packed with technology and features making it the clear choice for value oriented consumers looking for exceptional performance. Each of its 7-amplifier channels produce 90 watts of power, delivering detail and dynamics to music and movie soundtracks. They can be configured for 7.1 channel surround sound, or drive a 5.1 channel system in the main room and power a pair of speakers in a second “zone”. It’s equipped with 1080p compatible HDMI 1.3a Repeating technology, delivering both audio and video to your HDTV with single HDMI cable. This HDMI connectivity supports the latest generation surround sound formats available on Blu-ray disc, including Dolby TrueHD and DD+, dts-HD and dts-HR. Also included is Dolby Laboratories new Pro Logic IIz Matrix decoding featuring front height effects channels that expands front soundstage. The AVR1910 boast a number of Audyssey technologies. Advanced Audyssey MultEQ analyzes a speaker systems interaction with room acoustics, and then delivers custom tailored correction processing to optimize clarity and tonal balance throughout the listening space. Audyssey Dynamic Volume is an automatic volume-leveling system that tracks audio dynamics to eliminate the irritating volume swings between TV shows and commercials. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is also on board to ensure rich bass and smooth tonal balance at low volume listening levels. In addition to enhanced HDMI 1.3a repeating (4 in, 1 out), the AVR1910 is the least expensive receiver in the Denon lineup to feature 1080p i/p conversion, analog to HDMI upscaling and HDMI to HDMI scaling. Video conversion is accomplished using a premium Anchor Bay Technologies 1030 chip set featuring 10-bit processing. The AVR1910 also features component video switching (2 in, 1 out), seven analog inputs, and multi-zone (2)/multi-source (2) capability. A front-panel audio/video input allows quick and easy connection of camcorders and game systems. |

It is what they said it was! |
|
I read a lot of reviews, and most complained about the manual and remote control. This is very true. The manual is so difficult that I still have not figured out the features. The speaker set-up through Audusey was difficult, because the manual was not clear on how pick the six positions for the mic. I like the sound, but am not clear on how to get the most out of it. I'm sure it will take some time to get adjusted. It took two week to get it to work. |

Check out the savings at Electronics expo! Used coupon code WS901X5750 and got the Denon for under $400.00.This is a great receiver. The 1910 powers my Paradigm monitors and sound far better then my Onkyo did. Love the way the Denon sets it self and even dolby pro logic on my old VHS tapes sound great. If your looking for a great receiver yo really need to check out the 1910. |

A sales raiser for a Logitech Harmony One! |
In a nutshell (from a techie, but only a novice as regards home entertainment gear): this AVR Denon AVR1910 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver with 1080p HDMI Connectivity adds new dimensions to my home entertainment system, but a Logitech Harmony One (or similar) Universal Remote Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote [2009hdtv Frustration-Free Packaging] is a must because the Denon Remote is worse than other reviewers have already stated: it is almost totally brain dead. The User Manual is pretty lame, too, and the generic Denon AVR User Manual "translation" by BatPig at the on-line AVR Forum is a great substitute.
How could a manufacturer with a reputation for top-notch AV gear degrade the utility of such a fine AVR with such a lousy remote? Unless, that is, they were in cahoots with Logitech to make purchase of a Harmony Universal Remote almost mandatory? I struggled for hours to get the Denon remote to control my Vizio HDTV, my Toshiba DVD player (my Vizio Blu-ray Disc player is on pre-order with 2009hdtv), or my Scientific Atlanta cable box. I tried every single component code in the manual, and I followed the directions meticulously, but I COULD NOT GET IT TO RECOGNIZE EVEN ONE OF THOSE PERIPHERALS! I wrote to the star of the AVR Forum ("BatPig") for a clue, and he answered that he just ignores remotes that come with components and uses the Harmony One.
I have had a top-of-the-line Sony ES receiver for years, and I was reasonably satisfied with it (although their remote was pretty poor, too, though nowhere as bad as the Denon's). But, it was pre-HDMI, and I wanted to be able to experience the performance boosts of HDMI, and that was my reason for purchasing the Denon. I had also looked at a less expensive Onkyo, but I was deterred by reports of heating and line buzz in the subwoofer. Every review pointed me to this Denon. (BTW, I got a brand new one from an 2009hdtv Marketplace seller for more than 25% less than 2009hdtv's price. But it was a gamble, as there was no return privilege.)
OK, I have not done a lot of speaker setup tweaking, other than to use the wonderful Audyssey MultEQ built-in capability of the Denon. In my main listening room, I have two small Boston Acoustic speakers in front, two BA satellites in the rear, all mounted near the ceiling, a BA center speaker on a shelf atop the TV, and a BA subwoofer. I have two small BA speakers mounted near the ceiling in an adjoining room, but rarely use them for other than two-room mood music when we entertain. The Audyssey MultEQ did an outstanding job of equalizing my main room speakers. Setup was so straightforward that I did not even have to consult the manual, though there are great instructions at the AVR Forum (on line). This is a huge plus for any AVR that includes Audyssey MultEQ. Now, as other reviewers have also stated, I hear things in music that I had not heard before with my previous Sony ES model--nice things, that is! ;-)
My TV is 1080i, and though I got it to play OK at first going from my cable box through the Denon to the TV (all with HDMI cables) instead of straight from the cable box to the TV, on the next day I got flashing of the picture (good picture, then snowy picture, etc.). I tried the suggestions at the AVR Forum (power everything down; disconnect all HDMIs, power back up one at a time after several minutes), but that did not help. I knew that it was not my TV going bad, because I could receive pictures directly from the roof antenna just fine. So, I fiddled around with the settings (the instruction manual doesn't really clue you in as to how to get to the settings, but it is the tiny button on the front of the AVR to the left of the "+" shaped button array, and then navigating with the "+"shaped button array and the "Return" button to its right). So, I found one setting that was something to the effect of "i/p" which I figured was up-converting from interlaced to progressive (1080i to 1080p). I turned that option off, and then things worked just fine (had I inadvertently turned it on when I was fiddling with the Denon remote?). If only that troubleshooting symptom were to have been called out in the manual (maybe it was, but I never found it). Also, I find that when I switch between a standard definition (SD) channel on the cable to a HD channel, sound comes on, but the screen turns blue (shades of Windows' "Blue Screen of Death"!) for about 15 seconds before the picture appears. One person told me that it was buffering the signal, but others say that it is a matter of HDMI handshaking, and I tend to believe the latter explanation. Compared to my pre-HDMI days, this is a whole new world, and it takes some getting used to.
My Roku Player and my Toshiba DVD player work beautifully through the Denon's HDMI input ports, by the way. Sound has much more "presence" as compared to my previous setup.
So, once again: my bottom line is that this is a sophisticated and specialized computer in a big black box that will give you wonderful results once you succeed in setting it up and controlling it with a Universal Remote such as Logitech's Harmony One. Would I buy it all over again, knowing what I know now? Yes. Would I recommend it to a friend? Well, yes, but only if the friend were minimally clueful about AV components. |

Amazing for the price |
|
This is one awesome receiver for the price. Both audio and video perform extremely well and I am over the moon with mine. But take my advice, do some online reading (e.g. Batpig's useful tips - just google it) before you get it, when you get it, and for the week after you get it. Why? Because I guarantee that unless you have lots of experience setting up receivers (plus video/audio equipment and their technologies), you will not get it quite right the first time and may sell yourself short in terms of results. Buy it for sure, but be patient and educate yourself. The results are worth it - trust me and the 1,000s of others who are happy they made this choice. |

Great Receiver |
This is an excellent AV receiver that is a little difficult to setup but provides lots of options and good sound. The manual, by itself, is useless but with Batpig's online guide it becomes serviceable. Assigning the inputs is probably the most difficult task but after this is done correctly everything else falls into place.
+ 7.1 sound and supports latest Audio/Video Codecs
+ Upconversion of video (480p, 720p) is very nice
+ 4 HDMI, 2 Component Inputs and 4 digital audio inputs (2 coax and 2 Fiber)
+ weighs 23.6lbs and has max power consumption of 5.5Amps. It will be close to its stated power output unlike a lot of its competitors.
+ does not run hot
+ Audyssey setup and dynamic controls
- Manual not good for setup (use Batpig's install guide and read FAQ)
- Remote is kinda of funky
- Doesn't have a usable s-video input (reserved for I-pod dock)
- Price here is high but can be found for significantly lower
- poor upconversion of 480i over analog(composite) cables not sure how the upconversion is over HDMI or component cables though |
