If you care about sound quality more than features, you might like this Denon AV receiver.This is a 5.1 surround receiver, meaning it can power a left, right, center, left and right surround and a subwoofer. I'm never going to have more than that, and I doubt most people will either unless they have a dedicated theatre room in their homes. That makes 7.1 receivers a waste for most of us.Speaking of waste, like some other manufacturers, Denon has eliminated some features that used to be standard. There are no "B" speakers, no component inputs, no analog audio output and no AM radio. In short, everything you wern't using anyway is gone now.What you get instead is 4 HDMI inputs plus one on the front, an ethernet port, 5 sets of good quality banana terminals for speakers, and a USB port on the front for your iPad/iPhone or flash drive. Useful stuff. I especially like the front mounted HDMI port. When my friend comes over with his Xbox in tow, I don't have to dig behind the receiver to plug it in.This receiver is new for 2012, and as you'd expect it supports all the current standards. HDMI supports 3D and audio return channel. Also new this year for Denon is a revised on-screen menu system. It's simple and clean and easy to use, but the set-up assistant feature is a bit silly. You're supposed to plug in the power cord and HDMI cable to your TV so the Denon can walk you through steps such as plugging in the HDMI cable from your Blu-Ray player into the Blu-Ray HDMI input on the back of the Denon. Big help. Set-up assistant is more helpful when you're establishing a network connection and using the included microphone to adjust sound settings automatically.Like other network AV receivers in this price range, This model has no wi-fi. To use network features, including the much-hyped AirPlay feature, you must run an ethernet cable to the receiver. That's not practical for me, and I bet it's not practical for most people. TVs and Blu-Ray players have wi-fi now. Why are receiver makers lagging behind? You can add wi-fi to these receivers with an Apple AirPort Express and probably other routers too. It'll cost you cash and cable clutter.Where the Denon doesn't skimp is on sound quality. Denon promotes its discrete circuitry, simplified signal paths and anti-vibration chassis and they do make a difference. I can say that the Denon does sound better to me than the run-of-the-mill Sony, Pioneer and Onkyo receivers out there. I suspect this Denon sounds similar to Sony ES and Pioneer Elite receivers, but I haven't listened to confirm that. The Denon always sounds unstrained and well balanced, rich and detailed.So, if you want to spend your money on sound quality and don't care as much about features, take a look at the Denon 1613.

I did a lot of research before settling on this Denon. I did look at the 1913 and a comparable Yamaha. The AVR 1613 was perfect for what I was looking for. So far I've owned this for a couple of months and the results are perfect. To clarify I was on a budget and knew what I wanted before hand. My configuration includes 2 Polk Audio Monitor 50 -2 way towers, a Polk subwoofer PSW10 and a center channel CS10. This combination is perfect and I had no interest in any surrounds, though the Denon does have the outputs to handle that. The sound is totally awsome whether its a movie or just music. And Amazon free shipping for all the above takes the cake.In addition hooked the Denon up to the internet and Pandora etc via a Linksys WET610N wifi bridge. So really having just ethernet on the receiver is no big deal. The linksys links up to my apple airport . What plugs in the receiver via HDMI- the PS3, a Sony DVD player( now audio cd player with optical toslink input), Directv, appleTV, roku and the wii. The airplay feature on the denon is terrific. This opens a new dimension in listening to music. Airplay on the appleTV works as well, but then you will need to go via the Apple TV and the receiver before the music hits the speakers. I prefer the shortcut from idevice to receiver for music.One note on airplay and airport though. If you use Mac address filtration on your airport/ or other router to filter which clients can hit your network, you will need to feed both the Linksys and the denon mac addresses into your router. I found this out after some digging around the linksys and denon IP interfaces. If you do not do this, the airplay icon on your iPhone or iPad will show the Denon receiver but when you try to stream music, it bounces back to the iOS device.The user interface of the Denon is quite basic but does everything that is needed to setup the system. The included Audyssey microphone does a good job of setting everything up. There are firmware upgrades available via the internet so I'm hoping Denon will keep this device in good shape for some time.Overall a solid receiver, with great sound- I also like the clean back interface without unnecessary inputs. With everything plugged in, I still have the front HDMI port available for any future inputs. So if you are looking for the sound clarity and have a limited budget, this denon 5.1 is made for you

As many reviews point it out, after few hours of air play listening the sound is skipping every one or two seconds.it looks like a know issue because it's in the user documentation !So you just need to reboot it and it will work fine again.Except that little issue everything is working fine.On the apps side, Pandora is working really fine but the UI looks quite old and is not as good as the one you can get with a internet browser.You can get almost all the internet radio over the world which is good if you like to listen some music from another country.One feature that I love is that if I want to play a music from my iphone via air play it will turn on the receiver !
