I really wanted a surround receiver to have a much more realistic sound experience watching movies and replaced my Sony stereo amplifier from the ES series for this model. After some years of listening and trying several speakers I was not very satisfied with the Denon and decided to buy back my old amplifier. For only 100 euros I bought back my Sony 590ES and enjoyed listening to music again. What a difference!! Comparing them side by side I found out that the Denon really messed up the... (read more)

After less than a year of use the Denon AVR-1603 receiver began shutting off whenever the volume reached a certain point. I'm not even talking very loud. The whole unit just powers off. Brought it in to get fixed, worked again for just long enough for the warranty to expire and the problem came back. Now I am S.O.L unless I want to listen at minimal volume. Avoid this piece of junk at all costs. (read more)

I bought this reciever to replace my old Yamaha AX-550 integrated amp. Since my budget was low, and I desperately craved a surround receiver, I bought this one at www.hifiklubben.no for around NOK 3500/€420. Prices have dropped much since then (jan 03), they now (sep 04) sell the new models AVR-1604 and 1705 for around NOK 2700/€320.
This reciever delivers a totally different sound than the old Yamaha - which is the only product I can directly compare it with. It's much more forgiving...
