Denon AVR-1911 7.1 Channel AV Home Theater Receiver (Black)

hi I'm Matthew Muscovy axe senior associate editor at cnet.com and we're here with the Denon AVR 1911 this is denon's mid-range AV receiver for 2010 and it's currently selling for about $600 online the design is similar to previous down on models with a matte black finish and a subtle curve towards the top of the front panel the front panel is also dominated by the LCD display in the center and in the lower right there's an extra AV input and a USB input the USB input is iPod and iPhone compatible so you won't need to buy a separate dock to listen to your iPod now the iPod functionality is great but Denon's text-based graphical user interface holds it back a little bit the interface features only basic white text and no albemarle which looks really outdated on a modern HDTV you'll also be using the same menus for the initial setup process now Denon has completely redesigned their AV rec
