Upscale video from any source
You've just invested in a new HD home theater system. The whole she-bang: HDTV, Blu-ray player, 7.1-channel speaker system, etcetera. The only thing is, most of your home video library consists of standard definition video content like that found on DVD. Fret not, lover of all things home-theater; it's not "lights out" for your DVD collection. Thanks to the AVR-1910's high-bit I/P Converter and Scaler, this Denon receiver is able to upscale all standard definition 480i and 720p video content to near-HD 1080p levels — a perfect match to your HDTV.
The ultimate in surround sound from Dolby and dts
There's surround sound, and then there's high definition surround sound. We're talking seven full channels of uncompressed, studio-quality audio such as that found on HD sources like Blu-ray Disc. Taking full advantage of the HD audio experience requires more than seven speakers and a Blu-ray player, however. You've got to have the decoding power to translate the encoded digital signal on Blu-ray into an analog signal that can be amplified to power your speakers. You need heavy hitters from Dolby Digital and dts. Not only does the Denon AVR-1910 home theater receiver sport Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding for seamless processing of the HD audio on your favorite Blu-ray movie, but it also serves up the latest from Dolby . . . Dolby Pro Logic IIz. Incorporating two front "height" channels into the surround sound constellation, Pro Logic IIz decoding adds a new dimension of spatial sensation to movies, music, and video games. Achieve the ultimate in surround sound in your home theater.
And now . . . the nuts and bolts
With 90W of discrete power amplification channeled to each of its seven channels, the Denon AVR-1910 delivers all the power you need to achieve a truly impressive surround sound experience. This receiver doesn't just offer audio power, it also brings you high-fidelity audio reproduction. Minimum-signal-path technology minimizes degradation of the audio signal, while direct mechanical grounding controls sources of vibration, another threat to sound quality. Interested in branching out from your living room? Second-source and second-zone capabilities give you the ability to convert the AVR-1910's 7.1-channel configuration into a 5.1-channel setup, and use the two free channels to listen to audio from another source in a second room. While digital optical and coaxial audio connections offer versatile audio connectivity, four HDMI inputs make this receiver the HD hub for your entire system, offering the most advanced, single-cable HD audio/video connection. Further, a broad spectrum of auxiliary audio and video inputs and outputs offers diverse options for connecting other A/V devices.
Audyssey equalization . . . a different kind of odyssey
Unlike Homer's Odyssey, the Audyssey technologies offered on the AVR-1910 don't plague your home theater with perils and pitfalls, strife and struggle. There are no digital Scylla nor Charybdis here. For starters, Audyssey Dynamic MultEQ room equalization works in concert with an included setup microphone to measure the performance of your speakers, ultimately adjusting and optimizing their performance based on the unique characteristics of your listening area, automatically. Further, Audyssey Dynamic Volume constantly monitoring the sound source being heard and adjusting the volume to the optimum level for that source without sacrificing dynamic range. Imagine watching a "Behind-the-scenes" bonus feature on your favorite action movie. You need the volume to be louder when listening to the director discuss a scene from the studio, but when the documentary switches to a high-intensity scene from the film, you don't want to have to scramble to lower the volume.
The advanced HD connectivity of HDMI
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Denon's AVR-1910 features four HDMI inputs. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
The HD connection
The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new AVR-1910 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
