The powerful seven channel amplifier section can be configured for 7.1 channel surround sound, as well as being able to drive a 5.1 channel system in the main room along with powered stereo speaker outputs for second zone audio. The video section features extensive video source switching and up-conversion capability, and is equipped with three latest specification v1.3a HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, with up to 1080p resolution. In addition, the AVR-1909 features Faroudja DCDi video processing and up-conversion, breathing new life into standard definition sources, along with three HD component video inputs and one HD component video output. Setup is a snap, thanks to the icon-based on screen display, and the Audyssey MultEQ acoustic correction and optimization system custom-tailors the sound for optimum tonal balance throughout the listening space. To eliminate irritating swings in volume between TV shows and commercials, the AVR-1909 is one of the first to offer Audyssey Dynamic Volume automatic volume-leveling system, as well as Audyssey Dynamic EQ to ensure rich bass and smooth tonal balance, even at low volume levels.

"I bought this receiver to replace an aging Denon that I had in my Home Theater. My old Denon had great sound and it lasted a long time without issue so Denon was on the top of my list as well as Yamaha and Onkyo.

"I replaced an 8 year old Pioneer Elite 27tx with this receiver so that I could play the lossless bluray audio tracks from my ps3. I had planned on waiting until my Pioneer broke to buy a new receiver, but due to the reviews (and price) of the 1909, I decided to give it a whirl. I am very glad that I …"  Read Full Review »
