Denon AV Receiver
As I mentioned last week, I'm going to be listing some fun toys in the weeks leading up to the holidays. While I might list something computer related, most likely it will not have anything to do with computers.
These days it is fashionable to have some sort of a home theater set up. I have one in my living room and we also have one in our Boot Camp Training Theater. Recently I've been upgrading some of the equipment in the Training Theater. That including buying some new speakers for the rear of the room and an audio mixer to blend sound from the computer with a microphone. I'll talk more about that equipment in a future post. The biggest upgrade was getting a new AV receiver to replace one that was nearly twenty years old. The old receiver was definitely showing its age and would shut off from time to time.
I was already familiar with Denon's AV receivers as I use one in my personal home theater. So when it was time to find a replacement for the Boot Camp Training Theater, I started the search with the latest from Denon. The needs for the training theater were fairly minimal. We don't need a lot of power. The speakers are a 5.1 system. And while we will have multiple audio and video inputs, there aren't a lot of sources. I settled on the Denon AVR-590 Receiver which exceeded our needs even though it is at the lower end of Denon's line. In fact, it has enough features that it will allow us to make some further upgrades to our equipment a bit later.
The 590 puts out 75 watts per channel to five speakers. It also has three HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. There are two more composite inputs and one composite output. If you look at the product page, you'll see a photo of the back panel along with a list of all inputs and outputs. Amazon also claims the receiver hasn't been released yet. This is simply because Amazon doesn't have any in stock. Other buying options are available if you want to purchase one. In fact, I ended up buying one listed as "used" even though it was actually new.
If you are looking for more power, more inputs, more outputs or additional features; Denon most likely has what you need in one of their other models. The Denon AVR-790 supports 7.1 sound and boosts the power to 90 watts per channel. Want more power? The Denon AVR-890 boosts the power to 105 watts per channel. And the Denon AVR-990 takes it to 120 watts per channel. If you really want a top end AV receiver, the Denon AVR-4310ci boosts the power to 130 watts per channel and adds an amazing list of additional features. I'm sure one of these receivers is perfect for you.
