Steve Bonilla by Steve Bonilla on amazon.com May 29, 2012
Where do i start: this product is amazing. I got it paired with Energy Take Five Classic Speakers and the sound coming out of it is music to my ears. So many features. I really dig airplay aven though it it disconnects every once in a while. Streaming ...
 
Excellent by ChrisL on crutchfield.com Feb 4, 2012
We have had this receiver for a few weeks. Installation was very easy. I love the Internet radio feature. Highly recommend this receiver for someone looking for a mid-priced receiver with Internet connection and the ability to run a second zone. The app ...
 
Denon AVR-1912 by Bryan K. on vanns.com Jan 4, 2012
What more can you ask for out of a receiver. The 1912 hass many great features that usually do not come in its price category. 6HDMI Ports, AirPlay, Audysset multiEq and much more. It is easy to use and offers more than most for the cost. Denon has always ...
 
It delivers as promised!!! by Greg Dom on bhphotovideo.com Jul 11, 2011
After auto setting up my 5.1 channel BandW speakers, i thought I was listening to a new set of speakers. Wow! the sound is so alive and clear. I reconnected all my gears to the HDMI input of Denon's AVR 1912 - Blu Ray, Sat/cable, DVR, Media Player, ...
 
Great receiver! by Raginbird on cnet.com May 29, 2011
This is why you should always read reviews, rather than just go by the average rating. I don't know why some people feel the need to give a low rating for reasons that have nothing to do with the product...get a life. Bottom line: This is a great receiver, ...

HDMI video output has serious flaws by K. Rowert "coolkyote" on amazon.com May 31, 2012
I have owned Denon receivers for the past 15+ years and have never had a problem with any until I bought the Denon AVR 1912. The sound quality is actually very good but I have a MAJOR problem with the HDMI video output. It RARELY works. I have a Sony ...
 
Great hardware, poor software.. Shame! by vj_pavan on cnet.com Dec 12, 2011
Great hardware, software needs a lot of work. If you take it thinking you will control the AVR flawlessly in either zones, this is NOT the right choice. Wonder how it won the CNET AVR of the Year,especially considering Cnet emphasised so much on Airplay ...
 
Difficulties by RonB on crutchfield.com Jun 13, 2011

Miserable by Highly Opinionated Man on amazon.com May 6, 2012
Absolute worst worst worst purchase in 35+ years of buying hi-fi equipment. I'm not an idiot. I know my way around technology. But the UI for this thing is awful. The remote is awful. The documentation is terrible. the iOS app is an embarrassment. It ...

1) Beautiful sound!

Ironically, if you do a little research, you can get XT AND Airplay on the 2112ci for $100 less than the 1912! Either way, Denon is making the best AV receivers hands down but be mindful of the cons I list...Yamaha deals with the cons, but their EQ technology is far worse than Audyssey EQ and it sounds worse (different maybe a better way to put it...1) Beautiful sound!

Fine build; good specification; AirPlay built-in; easy to set up; weighty, detailed sound; open, expressive midrange...Lacks the dynamic versatility and detail of rivals; soundfield cohesion between channels could be more...The AVR-1912 is the first of Denon’s 2011 range to make it into our test rooms...Spin a Blu-ray disc and your attention is immediately drawn to the amp’s midrange – but not in a bad way......
