Denon AVR-1804
Product Rating  
When it comes to incredible home theater realism, Denon's AVR-1804 really delivers! 90 high-current watts x 6 channels of ultra-clean power envelops you in an engrossing, 360º soundfield. Built-in 32-bit decoding for Dolby® Digital EX and DTS-ES® let you enjoy precise 6.1-channel sound from any Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack. You can also transform any stereo or Dolby Surround source into convincing 6.1 audio using DTS Neo:6 modes. Cinema EQ optimizes movie soundtracks for home theater-sized rooms. Thanks to dual-room/dual-source output, you can enjoy 6.1-channel sound in your main listening room while a housemate listens to a different audio source in another. You can use the preamp-level second-room outputs along with a receiver, amplifier, or shelf system for stereo sound in your second room. Or you can assign the receiver's "surround back" channel to power your second-room speakers in mono, and still enjoy 5.1-channel surround sound in your main listening room. The handy remote not only controls this receiver, but also TVs, DVD players, and VCRs from almost any manufacturer. An on-screen display puts the receiver's control menus on your TV screen for easy navigation. You get plenty of ins and outs for building a great system, too, including HDTV-compatible component video switching for 2 sources, 5 digital audio inputs, and 5 S-video inputs. Composite-to-S-video conversion simplifies hookup to your TV. And the front panel sports S-video and optical digital inputs for easy hookup of camcorders, game systems, and other portable devices.

Very good sound, clean and plenty of power.
The AVR-1804 has a lot of inputs and outputs, so you can virtually connect
what you ever want.
In the beginning I found it not easy to configure, but became friendly with some pratice.
The remote could be backlight.
