Analog video input signals (composite, S-video, component) are converted to digital video signals and transmitted to the HDMI output port. Digital video signals are sent to HDMI output even when multiple HDMI devices such as a video camera or a game console are connected to the AVR-1610. One HDMI cable is all that’s needed to connect the AVR-1610 to a TV (monitor).
 

This Denon AVR uses three Audyssey technologies to give you the best sound possible in your home theater.

• Audyssey MultEQ is the award winning room equalization solution for calibrating audio systems to overcome acoustical problems in your listening environment.
• Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of having to adjust the volume control because of significant shifts in level between TV programs, commercials, and within program material.
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ enables rich, full sound at any volume level by taking into account human perception and room acoustics and making moment-by-moment adjustments as volume is changed.

The new Dolby Pro Logic IIz decoder now includes the option of additional dual front height effects speakers to provide a dramatic expansion of the front sound stage, and is completely compatible with all current stereo and multi-channel formats.
