I am extremely happy that I chose Denon AVR-1905. It is more than an entry-level receiver that offers 7.1 output and plenty of connections. I have it hooked up in 6.1 mode and it sounds awesome. Component video up-conversion is a blessing while connecting to your T.V. You don't have to fiddle with multiple remotes any more since you connect just one cable to your T.V monitor. I get great picture quality even when I am watching VHS. Denon's speaker test mode coupled with my sound meter helped me achieve flatness in sound.

The receiver has plenty of component-video and S-video connections. As such it has 4 composite inputs but since you would not use composite for DVD and DBS inputs, it left me with two composite inputs for VHS and Karaoke system. That's the only downside I found. Great product overall. You cannot go wrong with Denon.

I really enjoy my AVR-1905. However, after less than 1.5 years I lost the left channel on the analogue audio. My attempts to contact Denon USA customer service were completely frustrating: long--we're talking about 25-30 minutes--periods on hold, then, once getting someone to pick up--if anyone picked up at all, that person either could not speak discernable English or simply had no technical expertise at all and could not answer the questions.

Such truly lamentable customer service will make me think twice about buying another Denon product.

Just learned that Denon,of which I own a high end cassette deck, has outsourced its parts and accessories to a company in Florida. This may or may not be a good thing,but I do not like being referred by DNN holdings to another place when I just want to buy a remote control for one of their cassette decks. Yes the remote for the deck comes with their receivers, and the implication is that I might want to buy a receiver and get the remote. Merry Christmas Yuletide joke of the week. Sorry if you as I love the build quality and features. It may be well to look into the high end Sonys, Pioneers, and a few others. Aloha, Gerry
