Ready for the future, the AVR-1909 is equipped with the latest high resolution surround sound format decoding capabilities, including Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS-HD Master Audio – the latest high resolution audio formats found on many Blu-ray high definition discs. The powerful seven channel amplifier section can be configured for 7.1 channel surround sound, as well as being able to drive a 5.1 channel system in the main room along with powered stereo speaker outputs for second zone audio. The video section features extensive video source switching and up-conversion capability, and is equipped with three latest specification v1.3a HDMI inputs and one HDMI output, with up to 1080p resolution. In addition, the AVR-1909 features Faroudja DCDi video processing and up-conversion, breathing new life into standard definition sources, along with three HD component video inputs and one HD component video output. Setup is a snap, thanks to the icon-based on screen display, and the Audyssey MultEQ acoustic correction and optimization system custom-tailors the sound for optimum tonal balance throughout the listening space. To eliminate irritating swings in volume between TV shows and commercials, the AVR-1909 is one of the first to offer Audyssey Dynamic Volume automatic volume-leveling system, as well as Audyssey Dynamic EQ to ensure rich bass and smooth tonal balance, even at low volume levels.

10-Channel Equal Power
10-Channel Equal Power is a feature in some of Denon’s high-end receivers and power amplifiers. These fully configurable amplifiers provide many combinations. Some examples are:
o Dual 5.1 Discrete Zones with DVD-A/SACD
o 5.1 Main Zone all channels Bi-Amplified
o 5.1 Main Zone, Z2 & Z3 Stereo, Z4 Mono
o 6.1 Main Zone, Zones 2 and 3 Stereo
o 7.1 Main Zone, Zone 2 Stereo, Z3 Mono
o 7.1 Main Zone, Front L/C/R Bi-Amplified
o 9.1 Main Zone, Zone 2 Mono

2 way RC
2-Way Remote capability allows the status information and current mode of a receiver or pre-amp to be shown directly on the display of the remote for ease of control without looking on the front panel of the receiver or pre-amp, or on the display. This allows multi zone operation and control without being in direct line of sight with the receiver, pre-amp or display which is perfect for RF control. (RC-7000CI & RC-7001RCI required and is also dependent on the Denon receiver or pre-amp used.)

24-bit/192-kHz D/A (digital-to-analog) Converters
These high speed, high accuracy digital-to-analog converters extract all the information contained in today’s high density digital sources. They convert 192,000 24-bit digital words per second into analog signals to extract the highest definition audio sound. They are fully capable of converting any signal from a DVD-Audio disc as well as providing superior reproduction from conventional CD, CD-R/CD-RW discs. Today’s converters also provide exceptional dynamic range and are largely free of “clock jitter,” a time-based inaccuracy that plagued earlier D/A converters.

5.1-, 6.1-, 7.1-Channels
A surround processor, or receiver, may produce 6, 7, or 8 channels of output, depending on the source and type of surround processing. The basic surround format (“5.1” surround) includes three full-range front channels (left, right and center), two full-range surround channels (left surround and right surround), and a low-frequency, or subwoofer channel. Because the subwoofer channel carries only the lowest octaves compared to the five full-range speakers, it is called the “.1” channel. A “6.1-channel setup” adds a separate full-range “center back” speaker to the 5.1 array. A “7.1”-channel system includes two “back” channels in addition to the surround channels.

6-Channel Equal Power
6-Channel Equal Power connects 6 speakers independently without requiring separate power amps for the pre-outs. It complements Dolby Digital EX and dts ES sound modes, allowing you to connect the 'surround back' speaker straigh
