the best bargain is to get 1909... sud be 1.9k+ although hard to get rite now since 1910 comes out dy.. 1909 support all latest HD Codecs..

I agree wholeheartedly.
Although 1909 is not exactly entry level features cos already have HD audio and video upscaling features.
The 1909 is my first AVR (snagged one during KL AV fest) and I am extremely happy with it.
Good set of features at great price.
Quite daunting to setup especially with the thick manual.
With a bit of patience and cheat sheet from internet (batpig), it is now finally setup.
Still learning new things about it from day to day.
Good luck!
