Fully compatible with current HD audio formats, the Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel A/V Receiver provides powerful, theater-quality surround sound. It ensures maximum audio performance with multiple technologies:
Equal Power Amp Design: Each of the AVR-1912's seven 90-watt channels is powered by its own discrete circuit. This allows the receiver to reproduce original sound more faithfully than conventional models, which use integrated circuits.
High-Definition Audio Support: The AVR-1912 features support for Blu-ray high-definition audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. These formats play back sound with exceptional fidelity, providing a more realistic listening experience.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz: With the option of two additional height channels, this feature adds a vertical dimension to the soundstage, providing more immersive surround sound.
Audyssey MultEQ Support: Audyssey technology helps create an optimal acoustic profile for your home theater. Using the included calibration microphone, Audyssey MultEQ measures sound levels and adjusts speaker configuration accordingly, making setup fast and easy.
- Full HD Support
- With six HDMI inputs, the AVR-1912 allows you to route multiple high-definition devices--like game consoles and Blu-ray players -- to your TV. It also allows you to connect all of your devices to your TV with a single HDMI cable, reducing cable clutter.
- Vivid 3D Visuals with HDMI 1.4a
-
The AVR-1912 comes equipped with HDMI 1.4a, allowing you to make the most of several premium video features:
3D Pass Through: With the advent of 3D media, it is important to own a receiver that recognizes 3D video signals. The AVR-1912 is able to pass through 3D signals from your Blu-ray player, ensuring that the 3D effect doesn't get lost in translation. It also recognizes signals from 3D television broadcasts.
Audio Return Channel: HDMI 1.4a also features an Audio Return Channel, which allows both audio and video content to be sent through a single HDMI cable. This eliminates the need for separate audio and video cables running from your TV to the receiver.
Deep Color and x.v. Color Support: The AVR-1912 also supports Deep Color and x.v.Color schemes, which can display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture.
- Enhanced Network Capability and iPod Connectivity
-
When connected to a network, the AVR-1912 lets you listen to Internet radio, play audio files, and display images via an Ethernet connection. The receiver also supports AirPlay, which allows you to stream music wirelessly from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iTunes. Or, connect an iPhone/iPod/iPad directly to the receiver with a USB cable.
With the Denon Remote App installed on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can perform basic operations, like turning the AVR-1912's power on or off, adjusting the volume, and switching sources.
For serious audio enthusiasts, FLAC HD decoding delivers uncompressed playback of your high-definition music files. A compressed audio restorer guarantees that playback of lower resolution audio files is crisp and clear.
The AVR-1912 is compatible with Windows 7 audio and photo streaming, as well as giving you convenient web control. This receiver provides online support for Pandora, Flickr, Napster, and Rhapsody, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of online digital content at any time.
- GUI Overlay and Remote Control for Simple Operation
-
With its programmable functions and intuitive button layout, the AVR-1912 is designed for ease of use. The front panel is smartly organized, featuring clearly labeled buttons and onboard controls for volume and source. In addition, its on-screen display provides quick information about your system's settings.
The AVR-1912's pre-memory remote control with Glo-Key and on-screen programming is easy to setup and use, thus giving you more flexibility in controlling your home theater.
- State-of-the-Art Denon Solutions for Maximizing Content Quality
-
Fully discrete, identical quality and power for all 7 channels (90 W x 7ch):
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each of the AVR-1912's 7 channels is equipped with the same power amp of equal power. Since these power amps also use discrete circuits configured with parts strictly selected for their contribution to high sound quality, rather than with low-cost integrated circuits (ICs), the surround sound playback is of impeccably high quality.
Minimum Signal Path for clear audio and video signal:
The "simple and straight" design concept has been thoroughly implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately clean audio and video playback. Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embodying concepts for thorough vibration resistance:
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly suppress the adverse influences of vibration on sound quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct mounting of feet to the radiator in near proximity to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power transformers and other sources of vibration.

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
I am no techy, so set up was a little daunting, but the printed instructions get you going and after I printed pages from the CD ROM everything came together. This is my first surround sound set up, I am driving a Energy veritas 5.1 speaker system and everything sounds good. I have only scratched the surface of all the features but with some research I hope to master most of them. I would recommend this receiver.

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
This AV Receiver has met all my expectations and needs and at a price that was 100s under what I was willing to pay. I was looking specifically for an AV Receiver upgrade that would connect to an existing system and be in the position to expand to all HDMI connections in the future. So far it has met the mail. It was simple to set up and connect to everything. The sound is just amazing. 30 year old Klipsch speakers have come alive and shown addition dimension that I forgot they had. Airplay has added a whole new dimension to fun. So far, I can not find any fault in this Receiver.

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
I needed a simple to use, powerful, 'modern' AV receiver to replace an aging setup. I really wanted AirPlay support, and a good pile of HDMI ports for all the gear that now uses that interface. I liked that the Denon had plenty of power, a very easy to use on screen display (OSD), and supports internet radio and automatic firmware updates right out of the box. It fit right in my rack, and has a nice clean, modern look to it. 'Night' mode (DRC) was a nice plus with the young ones sleeping now. It's not the best receiver Denon makes, but it seemed better than other brands at this price point, and fit in my budget. I've already received two firmware updates, so I know Denon takes (at least for now) support seriously. I recommend this unit.

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
I will be using this installed in a club house to feed bluray, streaming video, PC video , powerpoints and MP3 audio to a 70 inch LCD and speaker system. It's a bit overwelming with al the features but once you get into the system and work with it a while it is fairly easy to set up. Both audio and video outputs are great.

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
Great product for my personal use. If your current system is 3 to 5 years old, you're missing out on the latest and greatest technology. The HDMI connectivity replaced numerous Monster Cables. Go ahead and purchase the Monster HDMI cables to complete the package/experience. Don't rely on the quick setup "paper-based" instructions. Take the time to read up on the full setup instructions supplied on the CD or online. Not crazy about the Ethernet hard-wire internet connectivity. A wireless connection would be more convenient; hence, I just use my Roku or BlueRay wireless for internet access. Overall, a great buy!

Comments about Denon AVR-1912 7.1-Channel Network Streaming AV Receiver:
After auto setting up my 5.1 channel BandW speakers, i thought I was listening to a new set of speakers. Wow! the sound is so alive and clear.
I reconnected all my gears to the HDMI input of Denon's AVR 1912 - Blu Ray,
Sat/cable, DVR, Media Player, up-converting 400 disc DVD changer, 1 input to spare. It just simplifies things and remove all the clutter of wires in my A/V cabinet. Fantastic simplicity. The airplay was just fantastic- it accessed my 6 days of music.
This is a great upgrade!!!
