WOW, the power of Sky Dragon has pulled a yammy owner to change and come into the dark side...... Congrat.

Denon 2310 is in fact next year model. Can you see last 2 numeric of "2310". Denon 2809 is year 2009 model, 3808 is year 2008 model.................

Certainly not a downgrade from yammy 1600.........Hear it and you will feel its dynamic sound. I am also a hardcore yammy fan last time but no regret of not getting it and finally owned Denon at last. Still loving its details presentation. Of coz, there is some difference in setting up. We use Audyssey Multi EQ here compare to YPAO in yammy. But, I am only use it for setting up and fine tuning. I feel it sounds better with the Audyssey turn off during movie watching. On the other hand, late nite watching might be a bonus to you......


Enjoy & Cheers.

YEAH, I bet he will loves the Denon's good separation across all channels. The surrounds will pound with tonnes of details. According to a local hifi shop owner, a customers came to audition avr of Onkyo, Marantz & Denon, they test them straight out of their boxes without fine tuning for 3 hours! Finally the customers decided to grab the Denon due to its dynamic and yet details presentation especially the surround effect. The Onkyo sounded complex, and Marantz is safer....etc

Spot On.

Wow, another black beauty is coming.............

Expected sooner a deadly anthrax will strike in this thread and giving no rooms for peasant like us to breathe.





ar188, what is your contingency plan to counter react to the bombing of 4310, one after another.....just drool can;t help or thinking of upgrade together lar Get someone to order in batches!!!!

I think should be more than RM2k easily after katam's import tax. You see the Denon DHT-390 5.1 HT system with only basic 5.1 DTS decoding already selling like RM2.3k and dun think this model can be cheaper than its predecessor!

SORRY for mis-understanding. DHT-390 is more like HTiB incl speakers. I just recall that Denon 1610 which can support TrueHD is selling something like RM1.8k. Should be around that region. Remember this is TrueHD support Receiver but still below RM2k.

HTkaki, that will be over the Raya festival. Better get it and play it during the long weekends, and can invite some more Malay friends come over to do demos. Sure they will get poison by this black beauty sound.....

Welcome to the Sky Dragon Club.........


But, try to give this babe a little space to breathe. I think the ventilation is not doing anything good to your 1909

If you do not wish to drill another pair of holes to relocate your surround, I think it is still ok because Audyssey MultiEQ of your 1909 will tune it for you. Suggest you run the auto set-up in all 6 positions and mutliEQ will fine tune your rear position. If you still unsatisfied with the surround effect, you can manually over-write in your 1909. Auto setting is just a guideline and I always tweak a little to my likings.

My wife and kids are back hometown for couple of days. Therefore, movies time all the way..........from morning till night


Just crank up the volume, relax and lean back for the surround movies...................pity my Denon being work OT while I am on holiday!

Wah, Sony Avr pop-out in Sky Dragon thread? Guys, deserve any comments?

HTkaki, make sure too to turn the Audyssey off when watching movies!


But I would like to hear from you with Multi EQ On & Off and tell me which one is better sounding. I find with it turned off, the sound is more open up and natural. Also bass is not so boomy........

Budget is the most important issue in choosing denon model. If your ur moo is below RM3k, get 1910. Below RM2k then 1610 is suitable. For 5.1 & trueHD support, both are more than sufficient to meet your needs. You cant go wrong choosing either one coz they have "Sky Dragon" ingredients......

But i m afraid 1610 cant go for 7.1 set-up!

Hahaha............no budget? Sure got if not, how to play HT. Closed 1 eye and grab this Sky Dragon and u cant go wrong in the longer term!


If choose other Jap brand, more or less the same. Worse, choose substitute products, ie HTiB. Full features, plug and play.

Do you all think it is better to leave the receiver ON few hours to warm-up like hifi amp, before seriously get it to pump up for the movie?

I leave it on standby and will only ON if I wanna do watch movie.

Bro, at first Audyssey also work wonder for me but after turning it off makes the sound more open up and natural so to speak.

Listen with it turned off, you will greatly appreciate the true dynamic of Denon sound. I also find LFE is over-rated with it ON too.........

Give it a try first & let me know yeah?!

I think it is better to get 2009 model, XX09. SHould be identical sound.

You are right about this issue. P/s be reminded this is DENON thread

HTkaki is spreading the Sky Dragon's poison slowly but surely........


Are you still using the Multi-EQ on when watching movies? Have you tried to leave it off and see how your 4308 perform?

I think there are bass & treble control in Denon AVR1910. Try go into the main setting menu, browse inside you can find adjustment in digital form where you can boost the bass & treble.
