Denon AVR-1612 A/V Receiver

 

Of all the sub-$400 AVRs I've reviewed, the Denon AVR-1612 is my favorite so far. It offers just the right balance of features for my needs, and its audio performance is robust and powerful. It offers the bare minimum of operational and setup features...

Very Nice!

 

Cannot begin to explain the ease of setup. You can place the speakers basicly anywhere and the auto setup makes the system setup professional and easy to whatever the listening positions are. Watching the Tigers and Football was amazing! Movies were...

Denon quality not here

 

Bought a factory refurbished model. Worked out of the box, wired everything up, set up thru the menus and enjoyed for a while. Then I turned it off. Wouldn't turn back on- display starts up then shuts off and power button flashes red. Tech support had...

So far, so good

 

I bought this Denon receiver to replace a 2 year old Samsung HTIB that was weak from the beginning, so anything would be better. I hooked the AVR up to an Energy Take 5.1 speaker set and I must say the system CRANKS!!!! I have it hooked up to a Samsung...
