How about the performance of the Dolby Prologic IIz for these AVRs1910 and 2310 ?? Are they exactly the same??

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the quick reply...

Yes, it is for CD playback...

I've added my system to the signature now. The speakers are all bookshelf size, so when running direct and pure direct, the bottom-end bass is missing.

Funny enough, after running the audyssey test, it set some of the speakers to large...not very accurate.

Now, after looking at pg 31 in the manual, I set it up so that the sub is present, and the speakers are small...

But, this must be for the '2CH Stereo' part of it, as the input/output side of the display still only shows the 2 front speakers and no sub/LFE. When playing a dvd in surround mode, the direct function works fine.

I suppose 'direct' really means direct Just odd that you can't pass the low freq on to the sub in this mode.

Cheers for your help anyways

Hi guys,

my virgin post on these boards,

I bought the AVR 2310 two weeks ago and haven't been able to enjoy it, as my wife and I are moving into our new apartment in three weeks.

The reason I bought this AV Receiver was that it was within my budget, had good reviews and sounded really well in the showroom. It handles movies very well and it's a pleasure to listen to acoustic music on this amp.  I demoed this for quite a while in the showroom and at first thought that music didn't sound as good on it as on Yamaha and Pioneer amps, but with a bit of tweaking you can get this bad boy to handle various music genres well.

As part of a promotion Denon was giving away a free Boston Acoustic CS2310 5.1 speaker system for free with the Denon AVR-2310, so I went for it.

 While  I was out shopping for a projector today, I saw that there was an in-house promo for the AVR1910 and the same BA speaker system at 200SGD less, which is abut 100 pounds.

At first I was feeling a bit of buyer's remorse, since my new living room will be rather small and the AVR1910 ould have done a great job, but then I joine the people who were testing the AVR1910 and by chance they were watching Transformers 2 and Iron Man on BlueRay (seem to be popular DVDs for testing..) and the free CS2310 speakers.

 The sales man was requested to switch between the 1910 and 2310 and the 2310 just sounded more lively, handled busier scenes with lots of explosions or gun sounds better and the subtle sounds were more audible. 

 All in all I was happy with my purchase and as mentioned the difference here in Singapore is 100 pounds between the two, so my buyer's remorse was quickly extinguished.
