Ya, I am also interested to know as currently looking into a HT setup.

390 just arrived this morning. Already sold couple of sets.
For the price, it's valued for money especially when you have seen the set.
The older model of denon HTiB used to sell for RM2599 retail and everything was really "small" in size then. But for 390, the Subwoofer stands higher than most Velodyne Sub hehehe. But weight isn't that heavy. But the bass is solid and low enough when watching IronMan @ 1hr 18mins onwards. The pair of front speakers sound pretty good and center's clarity is there. Rear speakers run a little small but for that price, you really can't complain that much. The AVR runs 75watt per channels like the AVR 1509 but isn't that muscular in design. The internal component (sorry I have to open to check it out) looks pretty well organized and quite simple to repair should there be any problem 2 HDMI in 1 HDMI out ...for video pass through only. Basic functionality like the AVR1509 model.

Works well for small size living room, better in a bed room or small room (10ft x 8ft) ...but definately beat most of the consumer brands HTiB ..coz it's a "DENON"

btw, box is big like a washing machine.

how much is this 390??

opsss..sori..the answer is in 1st post...

please forgive me

I forgive u my son...

Where can i review this unit?

Hey JunWei,

Thank for the explanation. But is it only suitable for small area?..as my living area is not seal as a room..so wonder the area is it too "big" for this model to support?

Thanks

*listening to this thread with great interest

Sorry for the late reply coz kinda busy recently.
It depends on your personal requirement and I won't be able to know how "loud" you would usually listen while playing movies.
For my personal opinion, DHT390 is the entry level system for those who are planning to dump their all-in-one system (amp+dvd built in).
In DHT390, you get a decent 5.1 @ 75W per channels av receiver which does DTS and DD decoding, you get FM tuner, you get 2 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out ..which only does video pass through. You will still need optical or coaxial cable for the audio part.

It will not support HD audio for it targets entry level user with lower budget range. But if you have Tvix6500 or 7000, you can downmix the audio n feed it to the 390 AVR.
It comes with all the speaker cables you need. All you need is to get optical cable and a DVD or media player..n u can start enjoying your 5.1 system.

Will it work in a living room? It will definately work well for living room with the size of 4 x 6 meter. The subwoofer handles the bass pretty well for its range, a lot better than those other system like LG, Panasonic or Samsung has to offer.
The AV receiver allows you to set different level for each speakers, tone control, distance setup and some other basic stuff.

It doesn't matter if your living area if seal or not, this system can pretty much cater your basic HT needs if the price falls into your budget.

Everyone would definately get a better system according to their budget range...so for a start, 390 is a good buy.
Nice bass (dun compare to standalone sub like Velodyne or other higher end sub), speakers sound pretty decent with vocal clarity at 70% volume (goes higher, it will not sound that nice). surround speaker does their job pretty well but dun expect a full dynamic range from them.

If u only have below 3K to spend, go for it. If u have higher budget, look elswhere.
Good luck.

Thanks for the explanation.

I will check out at the AV Fair this weekend.

What is the current market price of this model now, and where can this model be bought?
