 real upgrade over theater in the box March 18, 2010
Don S. Rule (knoxville, tn)
don't even think about reading and using the manual that comes with the receiver from denon. look up "badpigs" translation on the avs forum and save yourself some headaches.
the receiver works as it should. still tweeking the settings. the audyssey setup works very well and is a good starting point for the settings.
I am only using 3.1 as I have not yet hooked up the rear suround sound speakers but it sounds great. Using some old Genesis 1+ speakers I purchased in the early 80's ( they do have new foam around the woofers and sound fantastic), a bic center speaker, and an inexpensive 50 wt polk subwoofer ($100).
I realize that there are better options out there but for the money spent I am very pleased.
Great AV Receiver at entry-level price March 7, 2010
W. M. Black (South Carolina,USA)
This is a well positioned device with many desirable features one might expect for an upper-end receiver. As such, it is a great value. Set up requires patience and the willingness to read the instructions before you begin. This receiver is complex enough not to be intuitive because it has features that are new enough not to be familiar.
 Excellent receiver for 5.1 surround sound February 22, 2010
Musicfan (Belmont, CA)
My setup is very straight forward: DVD -> HDMI -> 1610 -> HDMI -> TV. I found the manual usable, though missing many details. I was fortunate to have picked up some of those details during my research, like the HDMI connection to the TV to be able to use the onscreen menu.
Setting the whole system up, including running the wires to the speakers took about 3-4 hours. Setting the surround using MultEq was a breeze. Although I am not a pro, the result sounds fantastic to me. One note: while it made the right decisions about the speaker configuraions (all the speakers were set to 'Small'), the crossover frequency was set to 40Hz rather than the recommended 80Hz. Not sure why that was the case. You may want to manually verify the setup details after the MultEq process completes.
The jury is still out on the HDMI connectivity. I have had a couple of glitches while playing movies. Once the signal gets messed up, I need to turn off the DVD player and power it back up to get a reliable link. No idea why this is happening. I do not recall having had this issue while the DVD was directly connected to the TV.
I can't comment on the video conversion feature of the receiver. The signal is 1080P from the DVD player -- so the video signal is a straight pass-through.
The sound is absolutely gorgeous. I am using NHT speakers & sub with the receiver, and the sound is very satisfying whether playing movies or concert videos. I have not played my CDs yet through the receiver -- so I will add any comments on the stereo performance later. So far, it seems like excellent value for the money.
Added after listening to enough music: With my setup, the 2.1 configuration works best for CDs (Stereo vs. Direct on the Denon receiver. Stereo is the 2.1 mode while Direct is just the two front speakers). With my speakers, it just does not feel right unless using the sub. Although most experts say that the best way to listen to stereo CDs is to not using the surround feature, personally I find it a toss up. Both surround & stereo sounds great -- just a different feel. The 1610 is turning out to be just an excellent receiver.

I picked this unit up from a local shop who highly reccomended this receiver and started my research. It does everything I want, switch HDMI, video, pass through video, and produces great surround sound!
My budget would be considered low to audio/video freaks, but I believe this receiver is the best bang for the buck! Currently I have: HD settop cable box, Blu Ray, Wii, and the boy's Click Start running through it. I love the HDMI switching for the simple fact that it allows me to run 1 HDMI from the receiver to the TV!
Thanks Amazon for having a review section which aided me in my research to purchase!
Excellent product and service. December 27, 2009

Great product, and I saved about $300.00 vs purchasing it locally. Buying electronics locally is a joke. It is extremely easy to hook-up. The auto calibration feature on most Denon receivers is a must.
