State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Fully discrete, identical quality and power for all
7 channels (90 W x 7ch)
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each
of the AVR-1912’s 7 channels is equipped with the same
power amp of equal power. Since these power amps also use
discrete circuits congured with parts strictly selected for their
contribution to high sound quality, rather than with low-cost
integrated circuits (ICs), the surround sound playback is of
impeccably high quality.
• Featuring 3D pass-through technology
By connecting a 3D-compliant Blu-ray disc player and
3D-compliant TV to the AVR-1912, you will have a 3D
home theater where you can enjoy high-definition sound
and video on a level you’ve never experienced before.
• High-denition audio support
The AVR-1912 has a decoder that supports Dolby TrueHD,
the audio format of Blu-ray disc players, and DTS-HD Master
Audio, another high-grade digital audio format.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIz
To let you enjoy an even richer spatial expression, the
AVR-1912 is equipped with a Dolby Pro Logic IIz processor.
By connecting Front Height speakers and using Dolby Pro
Logic IIz playback, you will be able to enjoy surround sound in
the vertical as well as horizontal direction.
• Minimum Signal Path for clear audio and video
signal
The “simple and straight” design concept has been thoroughly
implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately
clean audio and video playback. Signal paths are as short as
possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video
circuitry to an absolute minimum
• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embody-
ing concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thor-
oughly suppress the adverse inuences of vibration on sound
quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration, have
been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct
mounting of feet to the radiator in near proximity to each other
serves to suppress mutual vibration with the power transform-
ers and other sources of vibration.
• Compressed Audio Restorer to enhance
digital music files
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• Supports AirPlay
• Internet Radio and network audio / photo
streaming via Ethernet
When connected to a network, the AVR-1912 can play
audio les and still images such as photographs that are
stored on your computer. You can also listen to internet
radio and a host of other online music sources that use
network technology. The AVR-1912 also supports AirPlay
that lets you stream your music library from an iPhone,
iPad, iPod touch, or iTunes.
• Supports HDMI (V.1.4a with 3D, Audio Return
Channel) Deep Color, “x.v.Color”, Auto Lipsync
and HDMI control function
• Direct play for iPod and iPhone via USB
You can also listen to music les from your iPod by simply
connecting it to the AVR-1912’s USB port with the USB
cable that came with the iPod. To start play, just press the
iPod Play button on the AVR-1912 or its remote control
unit. Digital signals from the iPod are transmitted as is to
the AVR-1912 where they pass through the compressed
audio restorer and are processed by advanced audio
circuitry to produce a clean, high-quality sound.
•Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in
using the AVR-1912 for different purposes
The AVR-1912 supports up to 7.1 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/
SR/ SBL/ SBR/ SW) for surround playback dened by the
Blu-ray disc format. To enjoy surround playback with the
AVR-1912’s Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power
amp from the two surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the
two front height channels (FHL/FHR). Or by assigning the
SBL/SBR power amp to Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room
audio playback, or to achieve higher-quality sound for 2-channel
stereo playback, you can configure the AVR-1912 for front
bi-amp operation. These are just some of the ways you can
arrange the AVR-1912’s amps to suit various listening styles.
