Denon Electronics has released its powerful new core line of AV receivers for 2012.
Available now, the new line includes the 7.1-channel Model AVR-1913 as well as the 5.1-channel Models AVR-1713, AVR-1613 and AVR-1513.
Denon product manager for core products Yoshinori Yamada says, “With the launch of our new core AV receiver line for 2012, we are giving more people total simplicity of setup and operation, access to online music content as well as outstanding audio and video capabilities.”
Airplay in three new models
Adding even more flexibility and content management, the AVR-1913, AVR-1713 and AVR-1613 feature Apple’s AirPlay, allowing users to customise soundtracks for their home by unleashing their iTunes music libraries through a Mac, PC or an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. All three receivers also feature iPhone, iPad and iPod touch direct connectivity via USB for quick and simple integration into your home audio system.
Denon created its new AVR line from the ground up to meet the needs of today’s content-hungry digital consumer. Each receiver offers simple and intuitive ways to incorporate more personal AV content. In addition to their easily accessible front-panel HDMI input for quick and easy connections of camcorders and cameras, the AVR-1913, AVR-1713 and AVR-1613 each feature a front-panel USB input, allowing users to enjoy digital music from connected devices. All models except the AVR-1513 support AirPlay and are DLNA 1.5 certified.
As with all Denon receivers, the 2012 core line offers users the opportunity to enjoy the highest quality audio and video performance. All new receivers feature an efficient and straightforward short signal path circuit design that ensures optimal audio and video playback by minimising any signal degradation due to interference. Discerning consumers will also appreciate the fact that all the new receivers above the AVR-1513 feature a full package of Audyssey audio technologies for optimal sound quality. Audyssey Dynamic Volume offers real-time volume adjustment; while Audyssey DynamicEQ improves a system’s surround sound effects at low volume levels. Audyssey MultEQ (in the AVR-1613 and AVR-1913 (MultEQXT in the AVR-1713)) automatically sets speakers (including the subwoofer) to suit the room’s listening environment and the speaker’s characteristics.
Notably, for total simplicity of first-time setup, three of Denon’s new receivers, (AVR-1913, AVR-1713, AVR-1613) feature the company’s acclaimed onscreen Setup Assistant, a straightforward instructional feature that includes language selection, a speaker connection guide, speaker calibration, source setup and simple network configuration.
