IMHO, Denon is not "complicated" to operate. The manual makes it more complicated to read. It is straight forward if you have been using an old AVr before. Most settings are done by Audyssey that comes with a mic.

It is true Denon is a bit pricey compare to other brands but its strength is the excellent separation and dynamic presentation across all channels. It main weakness is the slightly lower output compare to Onkyo.

It is true the 3 series is considered Denon mid-range products. Price wise is also a huge gap. I am using HD-support AVR-1909 and have been amazed by its dynamic presentation compared to my old school Marantz AVR. Even listening to FM station is enjoyable........cheers.

Me too.....very tempted to get my AVR to read those Magical words out of its large LCD panel at front. Thats why I say now hands get itchy to get the Tvix Dvico 6500 to stream the HD-Audio like what HTkaki is doing.....upgrade from WDTV. But at this moment, the 6500 is way too expensive. I am damn sure its price will dips sooner or later. Other than that, it is a joy to enjoy my WDTV feed to my Denon AVR-1909.

Wahlau, 350 hd movies! It is like a dream to me..... How can you download so lightening fast?

Anyway, you have to start collecting those un-touched BD ripped with HD-Audio around 30gbs at least. When ready, just grab the Dvico couple with HD support AVR, this is what I called TrueHD movie experience with those countless sources in your video library................

But HTkaki is getting 1:1 ripped. Those files are extremely space hungry. I think 5TB isnt enough to house your video library. Imagine you can only save around 30 full ripped ISO/m2ts file in 1TB HDD......scary.

HTkaki, you are poisoning me.......

WHAT ?! 1 file can exceeds 40BG

You must be joking with such a HUGE file. BTW, did you do back-up all your huge video library? What if one day one of your hard disk crash? Then again, backing those files are also HUGE effort

I might think twice before I get my hands on movies with those magical words.....hehe.

How come in M'sia never have this kind of sales??

Another webpage is HiFi For Sale in M'sia. Tonnes of 2nd hand equipments......

Good to hear you like the Denon sound. I was actually a Yamaha potential buyer until changed my mind to Denon. I would say it is the right choice and I am a happy user of AVR-1909. One thing for sure, if you aint aiming for high output or driving hardcore speakers, its dynamic and sound separation will sure to thrill you.

What is your point in wanting 2 hdmi ouputs??

Denon 1909 should be compared with the like of Yammy 663, Onkyo 606 & Marantz 5003. I do not know others but What HiFi reviewed Denon 1909 won over Onkyo 606..... *_*

Bro, according to the manual, the following is the right sequence to where you should place the mic:-


4 6 5

2 1 3

Anyway, listening to music is not decent to crank up the bass. Most prefer direct mode to get the purest sound. But if you still insist to get bass for rock music especially, just gain a few db in the LFE until to your liking. Mind you when switching to movie, the bass maybe over-blown.

The Multi EQ mostly set front speakers as small. This is always a preferred one if you read many online famous audio magazine. Unless your main can produce frequency level as low as 30, it is always best to leave them as small. This gives the sound more head room. They preferred the sub to do the job.

Oh yeah, it is from Kuching. Do you wanna come here for holiday and sapu kau kau?

If look for Denon or Marantz, look no further. Just make a trip down here. Yamaha or other brands......suggest don't come to Kuching,

In 1909, you can tweak the front speakers to small. All other channels can be done individually. But normally it will set your front to small. Then, you can also change the frequency cut-off for front, center and rear channels. I set my front to small even they have woofer and frequency cut-off at 80hz. I feel this open up the dynamic effect and better control bass as my sub is able to handle LFE well....

Ha, I am not in the elite club yet. Hopefully in future. I am using Mordaunt Short Genie Sub. I set LFE cut-off at 120hz and I am so used to the sound. But what I like better is the dynamic & openness of the 1909. Denon is a bit pricey but you get what u paid for...

Welcome to join Denon and be part of the family....


One thing for sure, you will never be disappointed by its dynamic sound presentation. Enjoy bro.

Yes, like many people say, Marantz is very musical and Denon is suitable for watching movies. This has become the general rule of thumb. But in reality, the difference between the 2 gladiators are just minimal (if comparing the same range). unless you are choosing their higher-end models, you should be more concerned about their outlook. So, choose the design that appeals you the most....

Glad to know so many Denon owners nowadays. I guess once Denon come out with new production line, the slightly older models become more affordable and hence, ppl are now starting to SAPU Denon whenever, wherever & whichever they can.


I have tested its 3808A and one thing for sure, the sound is beautifully presented especially watching concerts. For movies, it is even more dynamic than my 1909....
But if getting this babe, you will also need to upgrade your whole speakers system to match its standard.......phew, this is the consolation for me to stick to my reliable 1909. Just that, I get a little poisoned by experiencing 3808A.

Denon 1910 is selling in the region of RM2.6k - RM2.8k......

Denon 3808A is more or less like RM6k+ (very addictive)...Haha.

This babe is drop dead gorgeous and sexy from every angle you look at it. I am pretty sure the sound is awesome too. The price should be eye-catcher ...around RM8k if not mistaken. At the meantime, just appreciate my 1909............

If you want a decent AVR which can support True Audio, Denon 1909 is the answer. Listen to its sound presentation and you sure will immediately fall in love with it. That's why it is selling like a hot cake now!
