Denon is music and movies to your ears!

Advantages: quality, amazing sound, good looks, value for money
Disadvantages: no HDMI input (but thats changed on newer models)

...Denons AVR-1907 is now discontinued. However, there are models that follow on from its greatness and improve as they go. The model numbers go up in size according to the model, funnily enough. So at this price point, this particular Denon AVR has gone from 1900 to 1910 (as the current model) thus the model before the 1907 was the 1906 and the one after was the 1908, well, you get the idea. Which each release the general product is improved. There are models both up and down, with Denon?s flagship Audio-Visual Receiver the AVR-4810 leading the way with 9.1 channels and more inputs than you can shake a stick at. Of course, the price reflects the quality. The AVR-4810 is priced around £2,600. For those of us with less money to burn the models in the lower range of the spectrum are a more reasonable price yet still offer outstanding sound...

Denon Do

Advantages: Sound quality
Disadvantages: Price compared to lesser rivals

...**Introduction** I am very comfortable with my Hifi Setup at the moment and will not be upgrading for a while yet. I had been in the market for a second setup and Having looked for a small second system for my bedroom I knew Denon were one of the best brands in the mini hifi system field so I felt very comfortable about choosing this one of a couple of similar Sony DAB Systems. I eventually chose this D-M37 from Denon after hearing a demo of it in my local hifi store. Here is my verdict on the system. **The Unit** If you know much about Hifi Equipment then you will instantly recognise the Denon style with this Unit as it is pretty much standard Denon for a product of the type, The unit is available in either Black or as Silver (as shown in the picture). So what comes in the unit? well as standard you get the DAB Tuner which also...

Review of Denon DVD-2930

DENON THE FARM

Advantages: Great looker, great noise maker.
Disadvantages: Size may be too small for some.

...Earlier in the year I decided I needed a new music system of some description. I didn?t have any requirements as such, as long as it reproduced CD playback in an excellent fashion, and also an RDS tuner would be a bonus too. I fancied getting a stylish ?one-box? unit, but had read many negative reviews of the sub £200 systems often seen ? I feel they are designed to look good rather than sound good. Whilst a great looker is essential, you need to be able enjoy the music surely? An avid reader of Stuff magazine, (see my earlier review?) I decided to browse a few back issues. A preview of the Denon M31 caught my eye, and after further research I discovered its predecessor, the M30, had won ?Best Mini System? award or something to that effect in What Hi-Fi for three years. I knew this was a good omen, and the M-31 had to be even...

Review of Denon DM31

Denons mid-ranged upscaled goodness

Advantages: excellent upscaling, wealth of play back features
Disadvantages: feels cheap

...products it was one in a line of DVD players in its range, it was followed by the 1940 but now seems to be discontinued altogether. Unless you want blu ray playback, the current model is for upscaling DVD play back alone is the 1740. Which as you can see is a couple of models down, but no doubt still a shining example. The Denon range goes up into the 3000 series and then the flagship DVD-A1UD which would set you back the princely sum of £4,500! It looks like it would play EVERYTHING though. The 1930 is a good example of an upscaling DVD player. When it first arrived along the similarly designed AVR 1907, at my house, I was pleased to see the eye catching design. I must say at this point that I was rather disappointed with the weight of the product. Which might seem like an odd thing to say, but I?d paid nearly £200 and it was very very...

Pop on some popcorn

Advantages: Flexibility, Well priced
Disadvantages: Not ideal sonically, Remote is large and somewhat confusing

...Bringing the feel of the cinema to your own home can be a challenge. There are the easy bits - getting people to obstruct your view, rustling crisp packets and muttering from just over your shoulder. However, achieving the big cinema 'fanfare' at the start of a movie, and maintaining the audience's interest until the end is a different matter altogether. The Denon AVR-3300 is one component that starts to make this possible for the average houshold. It is a mid-priced receiver that nicely handles a full range of input sources. From an optical or co-ax source from your DVD player, feeding Dolby Digital or DTS signals, all the way through to a phono connection. Yes, that's right - this is a home cinema receiver that doesn't forget it's roots....your vinyl can snuggle up alongside your video and be given the same royal treatment. As...

Surround Sound with Attitude

Advantages: Does exactly what it says on the box !
Disadvantages: So far, none ! Although even I find that difficult to believe

...I started off my surround sound adventure with an older Marantz, but the call of DVD Audio proved to be too strong once I had actually heard (and felt) it. I take great pride in my HC system, and it has taken several years to get it right. Some earlier components did not match sonically with others, and it took about 4 years of juggling to get the setup I now have. This currently comprises the following, and this is the system as reviewed : The Denon 1803 AV receiver Pioneer 656A DVD player Thompson 32" WS 100Hz TV Sony VHS recorder Sky TV Speakers : Fronts : Acoustic Energy Aegis EVO3's Rears : KEF Coda 7's Centre : Tannoy MXC Sub : Yamaha YST-SW320 All speaker cabling is bi-wired where possible, with as chunky a cable as my house furnishings will allow ! Interconnects are generally optical where possible, or QED...

Review of Denon AVR 2800

Denon DVD-2800 an audio visual masterpiece

Advantages: Great picture and sound quality, Good build quality, Champagne gold finish looks nice
Disadvantages: MP3 feature not as good as it should be, Not cheap

...with these shops is you get carried away before you know it you are looking at a Home Theatre System that?s costing way above your price range. So I set myself a budget and asked the sales assistant for advise on the best equipment I could get for my money. I was shown a Denon Home Theatre set-up, the DVD-2800 being part of it. The full set-up was the DVD player a Denon AVR-2802 Amp and a set of five Definitive Technology speakers which they set it up I their demonstration room so I could see and hear them in action. The DVD-2800 player It had just been released and looked very smart in the champagne gold finish. The main difference from the older model was the Pro-Logic 2 feature which enables the speakers behind you to produce stereo sound effects. Pro-Logic 1 could only produce mono sound effects. It?s a big unit about double...

Review of Denon DVD 2800

Denon DM31's quality shines

Advantages: Fantastic audio performance, small, stylish, durability
Disadvantages: Lacks DAB tuner

...Denon have an excellant reputation of producing home entertainment components of an awesome standard. They have produced over the years some fantastic benchmark products, and the Denon DM30 is no exception. Voted as the best micro hifi for atleast three years, Denon DM30 is an excellant product. With micro systems available from just £50, some people may find it hard to justify spending about £220, but for those who desire good audio perfomance this is an essential product. I can provide three good fundamental reasons to spend more money when purchising a micro hifi, they are 1) Sound. A more expensive micro system, such as the Denon DM31 will provide MUCH better audio performance. You will be more enganged in the music and will want to listen to more music. 2) Durability. The lifetime of cheaper micro hifis under £150 is litte...
