the difference between Denon AVR-1909 and Denon AVR-789: does anyone knows if there are any differences?
293743
From avsforum - http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1050097 In the specific case of the 1909 vs. 789, the only differences (besides the cosmetics) is: 1. the 1909 includes a small, second remote intended for Zone 2 operation, and 2. the 1909 has a plug on the back labeled "RF/RC 2WAY", next to the Sirius plug. The function of this plug is to allow you to hard-wire a two-way RF remote controller (sold separately) to use in a different room. See page 20 of the manual for a detailed explanation. Hope that helps...

You'd be better off e-mailing Denon USA with your concerns. I can't even try to download the update for this Blu-ray player from their website to test your hypothesis because Denon requires that you give them a serial number first.

The Owner's manual is available at Denon's site. You may wish to check it out.

I have a Denon 2308 amp and a Denon 1940ci DVD player. The pure direct mode is a stereo mode, not SACD (multichannel). It is explained I believe in the manual for the amp. Both player and amp units have a selectable Pure Direct mode option, but personally, I can't tell the difference. Btw, Pink Floyd's Dark Side SACD seems to be the benchmark standard in the sense that it works to expectations. All of my Rolling Stone digipak SACD's are stereo output to the speakers even when SACD indicator is lit on player. Very disappointing and a cause of much learning.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.

The reason they use the term old version, is that they came out with the updated version of the 818 in 2013; the 828. The 828 has a few new features that the 818 doesn't have, but they also cut a few of the features that the 818 has that they didn't include with the 828, Go to the onkyo website to compare the specs, but for me I couldn't justify the price disparity when it came between both units, so I went with the 818, and I haven't been dissapointed! For $699 I don't think I could find a better receiver. I looked at Marantz, Denon, and Harman Kardon to compare, and for the price I thought the Onkyo was a better constructed, sturdier product at a lesser price.

I was considering these as well. Interested to see what others post. Here is my research has yielded for 7.1 systems with Dolby True HD and DTS HD audio. A lot of people worry about upscaling, I only have blu ray player, so not much need for upscaling. Few do upscaling very well according to my research. Sony STR-DN1000: Nice HDMI connectivity, cleaner look, 100 watts per channel at 1% THD. I've heard upconversion is poor. $330 Sony STR-DH800: Does not upconvert analog sources. 100 watts per channel at 1% THD $250 Onkyo RC-160: Upconverts only to 1080i. 80 watts per channel at .08% THD $330 Onkyo SR-607: Upconverts to 1080p with okay quality, 90 watts at .08% THD $400 Pioneer VSX-919AH-K: .05% THD at 120 watts per channel, just 3 HDMI inputs, no upscaling capability $400 I realize these are Audio/Video Receivers, but it seems to me the main goal of most of them is for superior audio. After all, many TVs do a decent job making SD sources look better, even if you have to run an additional cable or two. To me, everything is going to be HDMI based, so I am leaning toward the Pioneer due to better power and less THD. $400 is very much on the high side of my budget. So if I decide to go with a cheaper receiver, I'll probably go with the Sony STR-DH800.

Dear Customer,The 7008 is a GREAT VALUE. The 7009 has the added ability to support Dolby atmos as well as the added connectivityWith WIFI, And Bluetooth built in however the 7008 is a great receiver/amplifier. We have both the 7008 and 7009 in stock. Thanks!

I've got a Denon AVR-1613 Integrated Network AV Receiver and love it. Damn thing's smarter than I am and it took several calls to both Denon and the dealer before I got it all set up. Partly my fault cause I didn't have all HDMI equipment at first so some manual settings were required. If you have all HDMI, the thing sets itself up beautifully. Don't remember exactly what I paid for it (at ABT Electronics) but they had it on sale ($400-$500 range). Love the speakers too, good luck.

A/V Guru: I was wondering if you could elaborate on the core differences between the Onkyo HT-S3300 and the Denon DHT-391XP. I currently only have an Xbox 360 and a HD cable box, and am looking for a system that can handle those two components as well as (which is the actual reason for getting the system) my music (via computer and Ipod). As this is the main reason for investing in a system, I would prefer to have a quality base setup. Looks like the Onkyo has a few more features on the receiver, and I was wondering if you could let me know why those are there (pretty naive on this whole subject, sorry). I see that the Onkyo has the "green, blue, and red" input cords like those that come from the Xbox, while the Denon does not. And the sony receivers systems in this price range seem to be much sleeker (but input wise more similar to the denon). So does it sound like I actually need all of the extra inputs that the Onkyo offers? And with all this in mind do you have recommendation

Mo,When using optical from either player the DACs in both players are not in use. Your AVR or PrePro is doing the digital to analog conversion. So, if you are planning on using the optical I would consider something a lot less expensive than either player.

I believe they are both 2.0; not sure; I returned the unit as it did not play flac or some of my movie files. The sellers were very helpful, and even sent me a second set, but same problems. My mp3 files played, but the first few seconds it was a static noise. A shame, because the unit looks great.

I drive a pair of 4ohm Legacy speakers on a Denon AVR-1513 which is only rater for 6-8ohm. My Infinity center is 8ohm which handles most of the audio, but even in stereo mode the 4ohm Legacy's sound great and the Denon doesn't appear to operate unreasonably hot. No problems after months of use, but it's not like I turn the dial to 11 either.

hmm... mine is a 61" samsung dlp from about 06 as well... that's not good. I have an xbox s. Did you end up sticking with a denon still?
