Review on Denon AVR-2113CI Networking Home Theater Receiver: AirPlay, Powered Zone 2 | Discontinued by Manufacturer by Mario Madden

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Excellent unit, the best of receivers and amps

This unit is part of my upgrade of a two channel Denon amplifier system. I use it with Chario speakers, Denon Bluray, TV and Apple TV. Processing and quality are great. What surprised me the most was the improvement in the sound quality of music. I had to buy an internet bridge to connect a network cable and it worked really well - internet radio works fine. I've noticed that the radio cuts out sometimes, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with the station in question. I can't get normal FM radio to work properly. For some reason there is no reception - an external antenna may be required - and the frequency is only 1 or .5, which doesn't fit where I can't eg 105.4, only 105.5. I don't have surround speakers yet, but I do have external speakers and it's great to be able to use them for whatever audio source you want. When I used the speaker setup system it told me that one of my speakers was connected incorrectly - after googling I found this to be a common obvious and nonexistent error. The iPad app is fine, but it seems like it needs to be reinstalled every week or so. Overall very happy with the device.

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Annoyed
