Denon AVR-1908 Features

Live The Movie

When watching a movie, you shouldn't duck as an airplane flies overhead. You shouldn't go check the windows when you hear glass break. Bust out the cuffs, this receiver is breaking all the rules. The AVR1908 supports 1080p video, with two HDMI inputs, three composite video inputs, and one each HDMI and composite video outputs, so it brings you the absolute best picture around. To match that on the audio spectrum, this receiver sends out 85 watts of power to each of 7 channels, and also features a pre-amp output for a subwoofer, all of which it puts to use in multiple surround modes designed specifically for different types of music, movies, and video games. It can also convert video signals from composite input signals to S-video or component output signals to make sure that nothing is sacrificed in your picture. In addition, this model features a high-quality 24 bit/192 kHz digital-to-analog audio converter to bring you studio sound in the comfort of your theater room. The bottom line: after you watch a movie on the Denon AVR1908, you'll find yourself wondering what was real and what was recorded.

Recipe For A Hands-Off Receiver

Gone are the days when you had to be a technical guru to get quality picture and sound out of your home theater setup. The Denon AVR1908 features numerous automatic features to make it easy to get the most from your system. Start with a multitude of automatic surround modes designed to encompass anything you want to listen to, including 7-Channel Stereo, Virtual Surround, Rock Arena, Jazz Club, Video Game, Matrix, and Mono Movie. Add in automatic video upconversion from composite to S-video or component video. Mix in technology that works behind the scenes (or at least behind the front panel) to bring you the best sound and picture around. Finally, stir in the automatic calibration with the included Audyssey MultEQ microphone, which "listens" to the sound from several points around your room and automatically configures your receiver to give you the best audio for listening area. Allow (yourself) to sit for several hours. Make no further adjustments. Lastly, enjoy. (For said technical gurus, the settings on this receiver can be adjusted manually to your personal preferences.)

Your Media Made Simple

You have music on your computer, on your iPod, in your car, in your living space, and everywhere in between. Now you can consolidate your tunes without sacrificing anything. The AVR1908 provides an input terminal for connecting an iPod on the back panel. With the purchase of either a Denon ASD-1R, an ASD-3N, or an ASD-3W, you can connect and play your iPod through your theater room, or if you have one set up, through your additional zone. In addition to iPod compatability, the AVR1908 can also play music via a network. With the purchase of either the ASD-3N or ASD-3W, you can use either ethernet (ASD-3N) or Wi-Fi (ASD-3W) to play music or view photos from you computer. In addition, this model is capable of connecting to an XM satellite radio tuner antenna, which enables you to listen to over 150 different audio broadcasts. All you need is an optional XM tuner antenna, XM service activation, and a subscription (not included), and then you're ready to go. To make your life even easier, the AVR1908 has a 56 station memory for your favorite AM, FM, and XM stations. Now you can watch or listen to all your media through your home set-up, but still bring it with you on your jog or on your drive to work.

Hassle-Free Entertainment

It's Sunday evening. You're throwing a little barbecue for your friends and family. The burgers are grilling, the chips are out, and you want to play a little background music. Once upon a time, this involved digging out an extension cord, dragging your old boombox outside, and rummaging through piles of CDs. Not any more. Expand your horizons to two zones from different sources with the Denon AVR1908. This gives you the capability to watch 5.1-channel video in your theater room while 2-channel music plays somewhere else in your house. So, if you have your home set up for it, you could, for example, show the game in your theater room while ambient melodies serenade the barbecue guests. But it gets even better than that. With this receiver's connectivity options, it won't be long before everyone in your neighborhood wants an invite to your party.

The Lips Match The Voice

It's amazing how much audio or video delays detract from a movie, so Denon came up with a solution. As with all of their high-grade A/V receivers, the AVR1908 lets you adjust delay times and other parameters to customize the performance to suit your own home theater as well as enhance operating ease. Adjustments are easy to make, using the buttons and knobs on the front panel of the receiver. These customized features are then stored, for each source input and surround mode, in Personal Memory Plus so constant readjustments aren't required, although the settings are not permanently locked, so you can readjust for a poorly-dubbed movie (just remember to change it back afterwards). It's little touches like these that add to the realism of the film and have gained Denon a reputation as one of the best makers of home audio equipment in the industry.

Plays Well With Others

With the sound processing capabilities of the AVR1908, you'll want to send all of your audio and video signals through it to make sure you get the best sound and picture coming out. Denon was prepared, though, and included a sizable selection of inputs. The AVR1908 is equipped with three sets of assignable component video inputs and a set of monitor outputs (all RCA terminals). Three sets of full-bandwidth (100 MHz) component inputs means you can get the best possible signals from three different sources like DVD, high definition television broadcasts, and a Tivo unit, without having to change any wiring around. This model also has three sets of S-Video inputs, eight analog audio inputs, as well as two optical digital inputs and two coaxial digital audio inputs, for the best in sound transfer. Lastly, the AVR1908 houses an 8-channel EXT. input on the back panel to give you the truest surround sound available. So, if the receiver you're looking for can take it all in and send it all out with quality given the utmost priority, the AVR1908 is your perfect match.

Surround Yourself With Sound No Matter What

Having a 2-channel source or a two-speaker set-up is no longer an obstacle. With the AVR1908, you can blanket yourself with surround sound under almost any circumstances. Denon's popular 7-Channel Stereo mode transforms your favorite 2-channel sources such as CD, tape, stereo radio, and stereo video sources into exciting surround sound, free of delay effects and unnatural artifacts, from all seven speakers. To aid this, Denon included its latest audio de-compression technology to take your mp3, wma, and aac audio files and de-compress them into surround sound. This 7-Channel Stereo mode was originally developed by Denon to enhance music lovers' enjoyment of home theater ambience, but it now can be enjoyed with any source material. Conversely, If you only have two speakers, you can still be surrounded with sensational 3-D soundfield envelopment. The AVR1908's Virtual Surround mode provides a dramatic psychoacoustic surround sound effect using only two speakers, or a set of headphones, with Dolby Digital 5.1 encoded sources. With this receiver, you don't have to let left/right be an obstacle any more.

Don't Forget The Cables!

OK, so you have your brand new AVR1908 hooked up to your big-screen flat-panel with a full 7.1 channel surround sound system, and a 1080p video player. You fire it all up, put in your favorite movie, and, wait, it still seems the same as it did on your old set-up. Before you package everything to take it back, take a look at your connections. A lot of people think their components are to blame when the feed isn't as good as it's supposed to be, when really the problem is the cables. When hooking up high-definition units, it's important to use cables that can handle the signals. Using "whatever's lying around" or "whatever's cheap" can make equipment worth thousands of dollars perform like the bottom-of-the-line system you can find at a box store. So, as you shop for your new receiver, be sure not to overlook one of the most vital pieces of your home theater system: the cables.
