Clearly home entertainment has seen a revolution in technology over the last several years. And you might think that keeping up is a difficult and expensive proposition. But with the Denon AVR-1912 it's easy and affordable to make the leap forward without taking a deep plunge.

Great sound and picture quality
With over 100 years of consumer AV experience under its belt, this isn't Denon's first rodeo. The 3D-ready AVR-1912 has seven discrete channels of power to deliver outstanding performance along with your home theatre speakers. You'll have all the cutting edge decoding capability to turn your Blu-ray soundtracks into clear dialogue, percussive explosions and music that immerses you in the unfolding story. Thanks to six HDMI inputs you can connect all the latest components and enjoy easy switching through a single HDMI connection to your HDTV. And if you have analog video sources the '1912's video chip will convert them to digital to display the picture through HDMI.

Take a breath of fresh AirPlay®
AirPlay lets you stream music from your iTunes® library directly to the receiver, either from a networked computer or right from your iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®. Not only do you get a fast and convenient way to listen to your favourites, but anyone in your home can stream from their player to share their latest find. And thanks to a free app, your device can double as a Wi-Fi® system remote.

The world is your music library and photo album
The AVR-1912 offers plentiful music options when you connect it to your broadband home network. Surf thousands of Internet radio stations from all over the globe. Whether you like your metal from Manhattan or your rock from Romania, you'll find plenty to listen to. Or explore PANDORA® Internet radio, Napster® and Rhapsody® where millions of songs are at your command (registration or subscription may be required). You can even view your favourite photos through the '1912 from your home network or visit albums on Flickr using your HDTV.

Wizard included — no road trip required
The '1912 comes loaded with a first-time setup wizard to help you navigate the path to getting your system up and running. Just connect the '1912 to your power source and TV and you're off. It's even simpler than clicking your heels together. Plus the '1912 uses the included microphone to analyze sound then automatically adjusts individual level, equalization, and delay settings for each of your speakers. You'll hear precise, uniform sound across a wide listening area instead of just a single "sweet spot," so everyone in the room can enjoy optimized home theatre sound.

AVR-1912 Review May-11-12
Reviewer: Jean from Philadelphia, PA  
Bought this open box for exceptional savings through Cruthfield, 1st one arrived defective (could not connect to internet), called tech support (Robert) tried to troubleshoot, decided to return the product for replacement. Replacement arrived the next day (super fast, excellent customer and tech service). Replacement so far worked flawlessly. You can' t go wrong with this receiver, worth every penny spent. Meets and exceeded all my expectations. Crutchfield is still the best when it comes to customer satisfaction and support.


 
Great Price even better Reciever May-10-12
Reviewer: BPD from Tucson  
After doing hours of research for a new reciever, I found some reviews off the internet and also from youtube and cnet. I wanted to have a reciever that was easy to use and give good clean sound to my B&W's. The Airplay feature is a big plus, clean power and a easy to use menu is awesome. Setup was simple and quick. The usb in the front is a great feature, also the intial setup to configure the system is easy and takes 10min. The prompt to hook up the microphone which is included will pop up, after using the mic it  made a world of difference in completing the system to give you the same sound in all seating postions.


 
Denon AVR-1912 May-09-12
Reviewer: Michael from Chicago, IL  
This is a great reciever and I am very happy with my purcahse and the deal I got from Crutchfield!!  

I would first reccomend you do not use the microphone for a auto setup.  Auto set up adjusts all the levels to be very quiet, this takes away from the performance of the reciever.  Although it did teach me how to set up manually (but was confused as to the lack of power initially)..  

Another issue I would change is if you are running this through  a single HDMI cable you can't watch TV and listen to music at the same time as it uses the TV screen as a guide.  I wish there was a work around using another HDMI as i like to listen to music and watch sports at the same time.  You can however use RCA cables.


 
So far so good! May-09-12
Reviewer: Andy from Waltham, MA  
Almost perfect...had the airplay been better. Airplay is spotty sometimes, it will take a long time to connect to the network and some other times it works flawlessly. Also you cannot seek a song (atleast from Android....I was using DoubleTwist ).  

Otherwise it's a very good reciever.


 
Awesome May-08-12
Reviewer: Jay from Santa Clara, CA  
The receiver is awesome, but the iPhone app is kinda hard to get connected and if you change apps on your phone or get a phone call it loses connection and you have to manually reconnect.  But the sound quality and the simple setup makes this a 5 star purchase.  I am just hoping they update their app.
