The good: Very good image quality on upconverted analog video sources; four HDMI inputs; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio decoding; Sirius-ready; automatic speaker calibration.
The bad: Relatively expensive; competing AV receivers sound better; no graphical user interface; annoying back-panel design; lousy remote.
The bottom line: The Denon AVR-1910 is a fully featured midrange AV receiver with standout upconverted video quality, although it's held back by some subpar design issues and average sound quality.
The capability to upconvert analog video sources has become standard on midrange receivers, but the feature is rarely well-implemented, with poor image quality being the norm. Denon's latest midrange model, the AVR-1910, is a standout in this regard, offering up the best upconverted image quality out of all the receivers we've tested in 2009. It also delivers a solid midrange AV receiver feature set with four HDMI inputs, second zone functionality, 7.1 analog inputs, and onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. Our disappointments were mostly on the design side, with the AVR-1910 having a difficult double-sided remote, annoying back-panel design, and a text-based onscreen display (vs. a graphical user interface). Also, its $550 price is on the high end for a midrange receiver and we thought that the sound quality was only average next to competitors. The Denon is a solid choice if you expect to integrate a lot of analog video sources into your home theater or need some less common connectivity options, like switched-AC outlets or full 7.1 analog inputs. On the other hand, competing receivers offer more features for less money--often with better sound quality--and will be a better option for most buyers.
Design
Denon's line of AV receivers all feature the same slightly curved front panel. The editors at CNET are divided over the style; some like it, some don't, but most agree that it's nicer than the rugged-looking Onkyo TX-SR607. The two main knobs (input select and volume) are appropriately large and are on opposite sides of the front panel. The center is dominated by a large glossy display, and underneath are few additional buttons. Just to irk obsessive home theater nerds who hate extra light sources, there's an illuminated ring (green when on, red when off) around the power button in the lower-left-hand corner.
We've complained about Denon's baffling remote design previously, but it's worth mentioning again. The included clicker has a series of small buttons up top to select inputs, and below is a series of important buttons that seem to be nearly randomly placed. Yes, button differentiation is a good thing, but there's not much method to this madness so you're going to have to stare at this remote to do to anything other than adjust the volume (which isn't labeled as volume, by the way.) The number of buttons is actually pretty sparse; that's because the rest of the functions are located on the back of the remote under a flip-open panel. Perhaps we're being too harsh, but it's really worth considering a quality universal remote if you go with the AVR-1910 to make up for some of its shortcomings.
Denon includes a graphical user interface on all of its step-up models this year, except for the AVR-1910--even though competing models like the Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K and the Sony STR-DN1000 include them. Instead, the AVR-1910 sports an old-school text-based onscreen display, with white text on a black screen. It's not a huge drawback; most people don't access an AV receiver's menu frequently. Still, we wish it was a little more user-friendly. The first option on the menu is "Parameter"--who has any idea what that means? On the upside, we liked the chart-based method of assigning inputs, although it forces the screen to "refresh" every time you make a change. (Can't handle Denon's cryptic manual either? Check out the easier-to-read manual created by a Denon fan.)
Setup
Luckily, the AVR-1910's menus are more straightforward for speaker setup. Autosetup conforms to the standard Denon/Audyssey routine we've used over the past few years. Plug in the included calibration microphone and the receiver automatically brings up the onscreen setup display.
Audyssey MultEQ requires the user to repeat the setup test tones up to six times, and before you start each pass you'll need to move the microphone to a different listener location in the room. The whole operation took around 12 minutes to complete. The system determines each speaker's "size," volume level, distance from the calibration mic position, and optimal crossover frequency relative to the subwoofer. Audyssey MultEQ also calculates EQ (equalization) curves to correct for speaker and room acoustic anomalies.
We like that the AVR-1910 allows the user to easily confirm the test results; previous generations of Denon receivers were less than clear on that front. But in this case, Audyssey misidentified our Aperion 4T tower speakers as "Small," so we used the Manual Setup to correct that and set the Front Left and Right speakers to "Large." We also noted that Audyssey measured the subwoofer-to-mic distance as 14 feet, when it was actually 11 feet, so we fixed that. Speaker volume settings were accurate, but the sub was too loud, so we turned it down. The bass management/subwoofer crossover settings were fine. The manual setup menus are logically organized, so we advise AVR-1910 owners to take a few minutes and confirm test results and make the necessary corrections.
Features
| Key features |  | |||
| Dolby TrueHD + DTS-HD MA | Yes | Onscreen display | Text-based | |
| Analog upconversion | 1080p | Source renaming | Yes | |
| Selectable output resolution | Yes | Satellite radio | Sirius | |
The AVR-1910 hits nearly all the key features you expect to see in a midrange AV receiver. Most notable is the AVR-1910's capability to upconvert analog video signals to 1080p. Many receivers can do this, but the AVR-1910 is the only midrange receiver we've tested this year that can do it well--more on this in the performance section. The only misstep, as we mentioned before, is the lack of a graphical user interface.
| Connectivity | | |||
| HDMI inputs | 4 | Optical audio inputs | 2 | |
| Component video inputs | 2 | Coaxial audio inputs | 2 | |
| Max connected HD devices | 6 | Stereo analog audio inputs | 1 | |
| Composite AV inputs | 4 | Analog multichannel inputs | 7.1 | |
| Max connected video devices | 7 | Phono input | No | |
There's enough connectivity to cover the vast majority of home theater setups. Four HDMI inputs are standard at this price and the other analog video inputs are more valuable considering the AVR-1910 has solid video upconversion. We were also happy to see full 7.1 analog audio inputs, as this is the latest feature that's starting to go missing on AV receivers. The AVR-1910 also includes a pair of switched outlets on the back, which is a rarity at this price. On the downside, the AVR-1910 can only handle seven video gadgets at one time because of its relatively low number of "input slots." Seven may be plenty for most people, but competing receivers generally offer eight or more.
While we generally appreciated the AVR-1910's connectivity, we were less enthusiastic about the back-panel layout. Like last year's Yamaha RX-V663, audio inputs and video inputs are separated into separate sections, instead of being grouped by input. If you're using a cable that bundles cables together (like a standard composite AV cable or a Wii component video cable), you'll have to stretch cables across the back panel--it can create a real mess. If you're mostly using HDMI connectivity, however, this won't be an issue.
| Multiroom features | | |||
| Line level 2nd zone outputs | Yes | Line level 3rd zone outputs | No | |
| Speaker-level 2nd zone outputs | Yes | Speaker-level 3rd zone outputs | No | |
| 2nd zone video output | No | 2nd zone remote | No | |
The AVR-1910 has solid multiroom functionality, offering both line-level and speaker-level second zone outputs. Note that like many systems, the second zone, speaker-level outputs are shared with the surround back outputs, meaning you can't have both a 7.1 system and a second, powered zone at the same time.
Audio performance
We started our AVR-1910 auditions with "The Soloist" DVD. We loved the scene where Lopez presents Ayers with a cello, and the sound of the magnificent instrument amid a wash of city traffic was truly gorgeous. Later Lopez takes Ayers to an orchestral rehearsal, and the sense of being there in a large concert hall was impressively rendered. The AVR-1910 had a sweetness of tone that's rare in midprice receivers.
We've experienced mixed results from Audyssey's MultEQ and Dynamic EQ processing modes in various Denon and Onkyo receivers we've tested; sometimes it improved the receiver's sound, sometimes not. And we can't say the AVR-1910's Audyssey's EQs made a distinct improvement in the sound of our Aperion Intimus 4T Hybrid SD reference speaker system. But it's great that the AVR-1910 offers direct access via the remote to switch the two Audyssey EQ systems and Dynamic Volume on and off. So it's easier than ever to try them out for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
We turned up the heat with the "Spider-Man 3" Blu-ray's Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. When shape-shifting Sandman accidentally gets stuck in a scientific molecular accelerator experiment, the intense sound of charged electricity whooshes encircling the CNET listening room was impressive. We watched the scene again with Audyssey's Dynamic Volume at a late-night-volume level and thought that the processing reduced detail, but it otherwise worked reasonably well. You can watch movies with lots of dynamic range at quiet levels and still hear everything.
When we cranked up the volume on Eminem's "Live from New York City" concert DVD, the AVR-1910 didn't have the oomph we wanted. The receiver's 90 watts per channel seemed to run out of gas on "Kill You," so we brought the subwoofer volume up, but it didn't restore the dynamic punch we were looking for.
Pitting the AVR-1910 against Sony's STR-DN1000 with the naval battle scenes on the "Master and Commander" Blu-ray, the Sony had greater dynamic life than the Denon.
The AVR-1910 sounded fine with Wilco's "Sky Blue Sky" CD, though its soundstage was less dimensionally developed than the Sony's. Resolution of detail and tonal qualities were similar between the two receivers.
Video performance
The Denon AVR-1910 is capable of upconverting analog video signals to 1080p over its HDMI output, so we put it through our image quality tests. We connected the Oppo BDP-83 via component to the Denon AVR-1910, with the BDP-83 set in 480i mode. The AVR-1910 was connected to the Samsung PN50B650 via HDMI, upconverting to 1080p.
We started off with Silicon Optix's "HQV" test suite on DVD. The initial resolution test was reassuring; so many AV receivers stumbled right out of the gate, but here the test pattern showed the full detail of DVD, with barely any image instability save for some minor moire-like artifacts in part of the test pattern. Next up were a pair of video-based jaggies tests, and the AVR-1910 passed both with ease. We finished up with the 2:3 pull-down test pattern, and the Denon had no problem displaying the grandstands in the background without moire.
We switched over to program material. First we looked at the introduction to "Star Trek: Insurrection"--our favorite real world test for 2:3 pulldown processing--and the Denon AVR-1910 deftly handled the open pans, by smoothly rendering the curved edges of the boat hulls and bridge railings. Next up was the difficult opening sequence to "Seabiscuit," and surprisingly the AVR-1910 had no problems with the montage of black-and-white photos. Sure, it didn't look as good as if we let the Oppo BDP-83 upscale the DVDs itself, but that's not the point. Out of all the midrange AV receivers we've tested this year, the Denon AVR-1910 has the best upconverting image quality, with only the Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K coming in the same ballpark. If you're looking to easily integrate analog video components in your home theater, the Denon AVR-1910 is a solid choice.
It's also worth mentioning that the AVR-1910 is the only midrange AV receiver that is capable of scaling incoming HDMI sources to higher resolutions--like scaling a 480i HDMI source to 1080p. It can also accept HD resolutions over component video and convert them to HDMI. We can't think of too many practical applications for either of these features, but we appreciate the AVR-1910's extensive flexibility.

CNET Review is quite flawed
by ezatnova on September 23, 2009
Pros: I own the 2310 model (the one up from the 1910) but I just had to chime in about how wrong the review of the 1910 was (see below). The receiver is a great choice overall, and solid, as are most Denon products
Cons: Price, remote

Summary: The CNET review first complains that Audyssey misrepresented the front speakers at Small and they manually reset them to Large. Anyone who knows even the slightest bit about Audessey (which is used in a ton of good receivers) knows that you ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS set the front speakers to SMALL. I have 4 foot high 80 lb JBL studio series fronts...and they are set to small. You NEVER want your sub-woofer frequencies to be sent to the mid size cones in your fronts, which is what happens when you set the fronts to Large.
Second, the reviewer complains that the sub-woofer distance was incorrectly identified by a few feet. Again, LEARN ABOUT AUDYSSEY before incorrectly complaining. It CLEARLY states (right in the Denon manual!) that sub-woofer distance is NOT MEANT to be an actual distance, and NOT TO TOUCH THE SETTING once it is automatically calculated.
The thing that hurts my head is, you even REFERENCE Batpig's "easier" manual, which has a TON of Audyssey info right there!
I suggest Matt and Steve read the manual and brush up on Audyssey and then re-write the review.16 out of 16 users found this user opinion helpful.

HIgh Performance Features Justify the Higher Cost
by jzh10 on September 23, 2009
Pros: Superior video upconversion
Powered Zone 2

Summary: I've switched from Onkyo to Denon as my primary midrange AV receiver line. While Onkyo performance was very good, Onkyo design is horrible, maybe the worst on the market. As well, I was tired of explaining to customers that Onkyo was good even though they had never heard of it!
I was BLOWN AWAY by the Denon 1910 DVD upconversion when I first tested it, it was visibly superior. Even the first customer whose house we installed it into, commented that he thought his DVDs looked better all of a sudden. The powered Zone 2 is becoming a feature that is more and more rare in it's price range.
Yes, this is not the receiver if you want to max out the volume in your surround rig, but for anything below that, the 1910 throws a very detailed and smooth surround field. Vocals are easily distinguished, surround effects are clear. We match if with quality mid price speakers, for example Atlantic Technology, and are very pleased.
The remote and the manual are crummy, but we do the installation for the customer and always include a universal remote or a full AV automation package, so those features aren't important to my customers.
The upconversion and surround quality are features that customers notice, and that they will pay for. Customers won't see setup menus very often so they don't have any perceived value to them.
Lastly, the Denon LOOKS like a quality piece with a smooth elegant design and recognized name that at least some customers have heard of, which makes it an easier product to sell than the Onkyo which may have comparable performance but looks and feels inexpensive.
We've installed a half-dozen so far and have been very pleased each time.5 out of 5 users found this user opinion helpful.

Let me quote What Hi-Fi magazines review
"Hugely entertaining sound; tight, punchy bass; unbelievable amount of detail"
and
"Denon amps at this price point have traditionally been very competitive, but this is on another level."
one more
"This is a frighteningly good all-rounder, with movies and music. It loves being driven loud but still gives you fantastic insight at lower volumes."
I am not going to say I don't respect CNET's reviews because I go to them a lot, but What Hi-Fi out of the UK is a little bit more experienced than CNET on anything A/V. So I am going to say that CNET missed the mark on this one.....by a lot.
Now my opinion of the receiver: I went to multiple A/V shops and demoed this receiver and many many others. I even went to one and brought my speakers to hear the difference. I'll tell you not one came close in its price range.
The video processing on this bad boy is clearly leagues ahead of the others, Denon made the switch this year from Faroudja to Anchor Bay across the line, while everyone else is still using either aging Faroudja DCDi technology or their own. It is very very noticeable.
As far as the price goes, Denon has better quality components than any other competitor so you kinda pay for it there. The AVR-790 is essentially the same but it doesn't have an A/B for the fronts meaning no dual front speakers.
Overall I am going to agree with What Hi-Fi and place this one at the top of its class.
Sorry CNET but you were wrong4 out of 4 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I actually purchased the denon 2310 to get 105 vs 90 watts, and it makes a big difference beyond the power output in the sound quality. I found the clarity and richness to be better then anything from Sony ,Yamaha , or Onyko that I compared it to. The surround sound setup was pretty easy and very accurate on distances it calculates to the main listening area. I actually changed the distances afterwards pretty easily to make more of the sound come from the front and less from the back.
I set up an all CNET editors choice system. Denon 2310 for the extra power and second remote for a second zone in my kitchen and third set of speakers in my backyard. Combined this with a panasonic 54v10 plasma, and an lg bd390 blue ray player for nothing short of a stunning movie and surround sound experience and the wow factor with anyone who sees , hears, and even feels it with the bass reproduction. .All three support 24 frame format that movies are shot in, which I was surprised that I could actually see the difference, but in this case it was the blue ray palyer that made the difference. Upscales regular def inputs well, but new better TV's can do this as well, so it depends on your TV how important that is. Used Energy take classic speakers for small speakers and they match very well with the Denon, that gets amazing bass out of such small value priced speakers that the sub really only came into play on the lowest of lows. The fullness out of the Denon and the Energy take classics is so god in a large room people do a double take looking for the big speakers, and the denon is what makes the difference . Connected Logitech squeeze box as a music server of pandora and cd music library ripped to my laptop and marantz cc4001 cd player. Connected them using optical cables vs RCA cables and speakers with bananna plugs from Monoprice,com. This means the digital to analog conversion is done by the Denon instead of at the music source.
The Denon remote is not that great,. I strongly suggest using the new Logitech Harmony 900 RF universal remote whatever you buy,the remote that comes with any of these receivers is weak, but struggle thru the original remote first so you learn all the features and choices that the denon has, like easily changing the names of inputs and outputs and a table that displays it. The 2310 also has a phono input in that rare case you want to play some vinyl, none of the other mid range receivers . It seemed to me the denon 2310 gave me the most flexibility, all the other s had some shortfall on how it handled multizones , phone, etc. All the others had one or more things missing that maybe i could have done with out, but i just paid a little more for the denon 2310 so i dont have to compromise.
Setup instructions are not very well written, but you can work your way thru the menus and do that once for the most part. Once you struggle thru it the first time, it does become intuative when you do what to change something .
Everything considered, when i actually went to Magnolia hi fi within best buy and listened to a cd thru multiple amps, I thought he Denon 2310 has the best fullness and clarity of sound and that was the difference maker for me . If you can get past the one time setup struggle, you wont be disappointed.2 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Very Nice Receiver
by JohnD73 on July 15, 2009
Pros: Great feature set.
Sound is very good.
The audio "Dynamic Processing" makes listening to movies late at night great
Surround sound on the headphones is nice.
Automatic configuration with the included microphone worked greatCons: Manual is not very good and setup was sort of a pain mostly because of that.
Terrible remote. It has buttons on the bottom side of it.
Characters on the display are small and hard to see from a distance.Summary: It is replacing an old Onkyo TX575X. It sound wonderful and the dialog is much better than the old receiver. The Dynamic Volume mode really work great when you have ...
Summary: It is replacing an old Onkyo TX575X. It sound wonderful and the dialog is much better than the old receiver. The Dynamic Volume mode really work great when you have to listen to a movie and dont want to disturb others. This mode of operation equalizes the loud sounds and dialog so you dont get blasted out and dont have to keep adjusting the volume. The automatice setup using the included microphone went very well and even found a speaker that I had out of phase. The only real complaint I have is the manual and remote. The manual can be confusing, lacks information and has no index. This makes setup an unenjoyable experience. The remote is ill organized and has buttons on the back behind a door. Get yourself a Logitech Harmony remote. You will be miles ahead.

This amplifier is clearly better than its competitors.
by pieterventer on October 15, 2009
Pros: Stupendous sound quality, has a very high current output and seem to drive big speakers with ease. Other amps in its class cant keep up. More features than the other amps in its class. Easy to use with shortcut keys, don't have to use back panel.
Cons: It still can't make me toast.
Summary: I believe that this product deserves its title of product of the year. I have listened to several other amplifiers and played with other brands. I install all brand names. ...
Summary: I believe that this product deserves its title of product of the year. I have listened to several other amplifiers and played with other brands. I install all brand names. An independent like me will give an accurate review. The Denon 1910 is worth every cent and more, that is why you will find that the demand worldwide for this amplifier has exceeded the supply. Finally, Go ;listen to it for yourself and then make up your mind before reading a review.

Spectacular sound quality!
by donnoj on November 10, 2009

Summary: This is a wonderfully sounding Amp. My music and movies never sound better! However, after running the auto set-up I needed to adjust a few settings my self to get the best sound. The automatic set-up incorrectly set the wrong crossover frequency for most of the speakers and sub. I also needed to increase the volume of the center speaker and sub. Once everything was adjusted I was blown away with how great it sounded.
The Denon Amp was an upgrade to a 5 year old NAD 5.1 receiver. I was happy with the sound but wanted to get HDMI switching and also thought the Audyssey EQ would help improve the overall sound in my living room with hard floors and a vaulted ceiling. My speakers are Klipsch Cinema 8?s with a 12? Klipsch sub. The fist thing I noticed was how much more bass the Denon produced. The sound is fuller; music has more drive, bass lines and movie explosions are tighter and more powerful. The Denon is much more detailed as well. With music I can pick out each instrument more clearly. With movies the sound effects and music are more separated. For example, during one of the battle sequences in Gladiator the loud explosions and surround effects tended to dominate the sound field with my old amp. I can now hear the music soundtrack more clearly, as if it were being emitted from a separate set of speakers.
The Denon AVR-1910/AVR-790 is very refined and powerful. I plan on enjoying it for many years. -
Puzzling review
by twinspear on October 16, 2009
Pros: I chose the 2310 model because it has a phono preamp. It performs well in a HT, but my OPPO has an edge in dvd up-conversion. The sound is quite remarkable with the Aperion 6Ts, paired with a HSU sub, used primarily for music but with video also.
Cons: List price is too much, but it can found at the price of a AVR 1910. The manual and remote are typical tripe but usable. You will be rewarded for patience and persistence, since electronics are increasingly complex.
Summary: Use with Aperion 6Ts & a 5C provides amazing detail & clarity, with a huge breadth and depth of soundstage The difference between 90 and 105 watts is nominal, and ...
