 An Outstanding Piece of Equipment January 3, 2009
Fogerty Fanatic (Mid South)
Let me start out by saying that two things prevented me from giving this receiver 5 stars: the remote (I had to return the first one as it was defective) and the user's manual. Both leave much to be desired. However, with that said, once I got this thing up and running and played around with the various audio settings, I was thrilled. What really impresses me is the audio performance at low volume. The bass is crisp and clear and the highs are excellent. One thing to note about using a subwoofer. I have a Polk Audio PSW 111 and when I first hooked it up I couldn't hear a thing. I finally had to go to the remote (use ch sel enter) to bring up the subwoofer's volume. I couldn't find anything in the manual and was getting very frustrated. I noticed that some of my DVDs that I initially found lacking in great sound quality really shined with the Denon. Be patient with the set up and all the buttons on the remote. The auto setup feature is great and gives you a good start.

HI. br /I already own a Denon AVR-4308CI which I use for my main home theater.....now I needed a receiver for my family room because our LCD tv sound was horrific. I decided to try a bunch of Home Theater in a box and a sony receiver...but NO can Do....I had to get a Denon. I decided on the 789 which is similar to the 1909 ( the 1909 has some extra capabilities for multiroom remote controls etc...which I dont need). br / br /The 789 is a great 7.1 Channel Receiver with Audessey setup and Dynamic EQ/Dynamic Volume. For those that know what this is, GREAT...for those of you that do not know what it is...I will quickly explain. br / br /Audessey simply runs a program on the receiver with the included calibration microphone...u plug it in and off you go. The microphone tests and measures all of your speakers and then adjusts them according to your room, speaker type, distances etc... It does the work so you dont have to. br / br /Dynamic EQ is like above....it controls the sound - bass/treble/etc dynamically based on the content that is being fed in to the receiver. br / br /Dynamic Volume - AWESOME - this is that feature that we all have been waiting for. Ever watched a football game in Hi Def and had great sound...then a commercial comes on and its either too LOUD or too LOW.....you keep having to fiddle with volume buttons....NO MORE. Dynamic volume adjusts the volume (based on day/evening/night) for the source. Its pretty amazing. br / br /Pros: br /7.1 Receiver with plenty of power. br /3 HDMI Inputs br /1 HDMI output br /Up conversion of all analog video to HDMI. br /Audessey - all 3 features. br /Denon Quality and Build.... br /Ethernet connectivity for future upgrades. br / br /Cons: br /1 - REMOTE br / br /I cant stand the remote - Its very functional on the main side...but if you need to adjust menu's etc...you have to flip it over, open the door, and go at it....this annoys me....but its a personal preference. br / br /Apart from that I cant say enough good things about this receiver and so it will still get a 5/5. br / br /ps. If you are a dish network vip hd dvr user....your remote will control the power and volume on the Denon without issue....another reason I chose Denon. br / br /Enjoy!

I recently upgraded from a Onkyo TX-SR601 to the Denon 789, WOW how things have changed, Audyssey MultEQ, Dynamic EQ, and Dynamic Volume are unbelievable!! Don't get me wrong my Onkyo served me well but there is a huge difference, compared to the Denon on a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate the Onkyos sound quality a 3, and this is from a guy who liked Onkyo. I almost bought the Onkyo 606 but the reviews continued to concern me: heat, noise, and poor video up scaling. Then I stumbled on the new line from Denon with Audyssey MultEQ, Dynamic EQ, and Dynamic Volume, again it's unbelievable!! My room layout is difficult to work with (corner setup) and Audyssey got it perfect. A friend bought the Onkyo 606 we have similar speakers and he is pissed. There is a BIG difference between the Onkyo 606 with Audyssey 2EQ (2EQ measures 2 room positions, uses a basic resolution filter for the satellites and does not apply a filter to the subwoofers) and Denon with MultEQ (MultEQ takes up to 6 room position measurements, and uses mid-level resolution filters for satellites and subwoofers). We each have the same Sub Velodyne DLS-4000R and my sub sounds A LOT cleaner with the Audyssey adjustments. The Denon also remembers all my listening preferences and automatically make the changes. Dynamic Volume Works as advertised. You will not be disappointed with the Denon, took me about 2 hours to have everything Rocking. Exceeded all my expatiations.

I think this is an excellent unit for the price. It has all the features that I was looking for. My order arrived without incident; on time and in excellent condition. The unit was fairly easy to set up, but I would definitely recommend that you read the manual. The AVR-789 has plenty of power and features for my needs (which is for a home theater setup in my master bedroom, where I have an SVS SB12-Plus subwoofer and Klipsch Quintet SL speaker system). The included microphone really made it easy to adjust the speaker levels. I was enjoying my blu-ray movies (in Dolby TrueHD) in no time at all. br /I'm thinking about getting another one for my front room setup.

I've done tons of research on a receiver in this price range. I can tell you that this unit is the best for the money. I've research the yammy 663, onkyo 606, and the 789/1909. The 789 and the 1909 are the same unit just made for different retailers. The four digit receivers from denon are for local retailers and the 789 is manufactured for higher volume retailers like BB or CC. I tried two 606s before spending the extra $150 on this model. The first 606 i had suffered from the humm/buzz problem that's all over the avsforum. The second unit i had dropped the video signal after a couple minutes of switching sources or powering the unit on and off. So i went with the 789 and couldn't be happier. My new 7.1 sounds amazing and the Audessey features are the best. i wouldn't attempt to set up a 7.1 with out it. The remote kinda sucks, but i got a Harmony 890, so all remotes go into storage anyway. I have it hooked up to a ps3, 360, comcast cable box, denon dvd, vcr, and ipod. All the SD signals get pushed to 1080p. The upscaling is so much better than the 606 it's not even funny. i would recommend anyone looking for a hdmi receiver that upscales to get this model.
