Denon AV-receiver reviews

Denon AVR-1500 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1500 AV-receiver

The AVR-1500 might look like a typical midprice A/V receiver, and in many ways that's exactly what it is, standing, as it does, precisely at the midpoint of Denon's A/V receiver line. But in a couple of very important respects it is more top-drawer than run-of-the-mill. Let's start with the typical...
Denon AVR-1600 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1600 AV-receiver

The Denon AVR-1600 receiver is very traditional both in external design and in the ideology of the organization of management. The DSP mode is selected by a direct call from the front panel, and then the parameters are adjusted from the remote control. Along with modes for music videos (ROCK ARENA and...
Denon AVR-1602 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1602 AV-receiver

The receiver differs minimally from its predecessor. Its main advantage is the presence of a Dolby Pro Logic II decoder. But this alone is worth a lot. The features of the new version of Dolby Pro Logic II include the presence of two sound processing modes, especially for film and music. And the manufacturer...
Denon AVR-1603 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1603 AV-receiver

If it weren't for the plug covering the AV input (there is no S-video connector in it, but there is an optical digital signal connector), the front panel of the device could be considered classic. But the layout of the receiver is classic without any exaggeration: a five-channel amplifier with 5.1 decoders....
Denon AVR-1604 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1604 AV-receiver

The amplification system of the new Denon AVR-1604 is made according to the proprietary Twin Drive Rectifier scheme, but the declared power consumption is one of the lowest among competitors. Real output power can barely reach 6x15 W, which is quite small for a 20 m2 hall. However, under the hood is...
Denon AVR-1612 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1612 AV-receiver

Denon AVR-1612 receiver is equipped with a five-channel amplifier section, however, to create the 7.1 system, a preliminary output is provided for two more channels (surround back). The output power (5 x 120 W) is quite enough to work with loudspeakers of any size, but with a resistance of at least 6...
Denon AVR-1706 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-1706 AV-receiver

Denon AVR-1706 receiver differs by advanced switch for connection of analog audio/video sources, has not the most budget digital processor, powerful supply system (a huge transformer is well seen through the vented holes) and a seven-channel amplifier with convincing passport characteristics. The presence...

Denon AVR-1800 AV-receiver

The Denon AVR-1800 has a sense of power and class that is taken for granted with obvious satisfaction. The receiver also uses a digital-to-analog converter capable of 24-bit/96 kHz signal processing. The tricky contrivances of the remote with its own LCD display, which replaces the kit's on-screen menu,...

Denon AVR-1906 AV-receiver

We have a typical Denon receiver. Here are a sophisticated body and an aluminum front panel with a broad informative display. A large set of connectors on the front panel, including even an optical one, is not forgotten. On the rear panel there are three component video inputs: in addition to the traditional...
Denon AVR-2106 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-2106 AV-receiver

I want to call the design of AV-receiver Denon AVR-2106 nostalgic: the faceplate with triangular groove and many of control elements return us to the era of "Matrix" and "Titanic". AVR-2106 is the most inexpensive model and by the specifications stated it shows fight to its opponents. Therefore, it will...
Denon AVR-2803 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-2803 AV-receiver

The Denon AVR-2803 AV receiver is easy to adjust both from the remote control and from the front panel. The volume control is very smooth (0.5 dB step). The levels of each channel are set with the same accuracy, and for the best pairing with a subwoofer, three steps of LFE-signal amplification are introduced....
Denon AVR-2807 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-2807 AV-receiver

Denon AVR-2807 receiver will not leave you cold by neither its characteristics nor the number of features. It's enough to give a look at the description and it becomes clear that a movie lover cannot find a better device for such money. Bend your fingers: there are all types of surround decoders, digital...
Denon AVR-3600 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-3600 AV-receiver

To judge from Denon's well-equipped and well-performing AVR-3600 A/V receiver, manufacturers are at last beginning to get the hang of incorporating Dolby Digital (AC-3) decoding into their products. While a few early components have exhibited notable (and easily avoidable) flaws, Denon has done nothing...
Denon AVR-3801 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-3801 AV-receiver

There used to be a lot of four "prologic" channels... Now that the seven-channel 6.1 format has entered the threshold, it may well turn out that tomorrow even more "loaded" formats will start crowding it out. But only those who have prepared for this in advance will be able to work with them. One of...
Denon AVR-4306 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-4306 AV-receiver

Denon AVR-4306 is ideal for those who need a device with comprehensive switching capabilities. It's enough to skip through the list of functions or look at the front and back panels, then you come to the idea: you can connect everything to this receiver.

Denon AVR-5600 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-5600 AV-receiver

Denon's AVR-5600 comes as close to fulfilling my A/V receiver wish list as anything I've seen. First of all, it's a powerful beast, rated at 140 watts per channel into 8 ohms with all five of its channels driven. As with most A/V receivers, the five-channel rating is specified at 1 kHz (with 0.7% distortion),...
Denon AVR-X1100W AV-receiver
Denon AVR-X1100W AV-receiver

You can see with the naked eye that the new device was made based on the model AVR-X1000. Faceplate design with wide display, the construction of chassis, quite small power transformer and the cover are almost the same. There are a slightly changed, but still simple and plain remote control, external...
Denon AVR-X2000 AV-receiver
Denon AVR-X2000 AV-receiver

After releasing a new range of receivers, the Denon company decided to reset the model names - now there are pretty index numbers with zeros instead of cumbersome bunch of complex numbers. But what does the index 2000 in the model name actually mean? First of all, it indicates that the device is somewhere...
