Regarding the AVR2400, Does anyone know why the AVR2400 has a pre-out for the surround L/R. I think people would want pre-out for the main L/R. Please advise.

I've been listening to this receiver for a few months now (ever since it was introduced, I think) at a couple of audio stores in my area. However, I have not been able to read any reviews about it on-line. For my modest resources, this seems like a great-sounding 75w X 5 A/V receiver with all the right bells & whistles -- PLUS it's Dolby Digital ready, has S-Video inputs, Cinema Re-EQ, and on-screen menus. I was looking at the AVR-1400 (it's little brother, 65w X 5) for awhile, but at $529 thru OneCall, the AVR-2400 seems like it will fit the bill nicely. Does anyone out there actually own one of these? If so, could you please post your views on it -- before I actually buy one at Christmas time?

can't decide between the kenwood 2090 and denon 2400, any help?

I picked up the AVR-2400 through an online auction for $260 plus shipping and handling for which they raped me for another 45 bucks. The auction was Ubid.com. I swithced from a Sony STD-R 915 that i bought based upon the need for pro-logic. The Sony was a piece of crap so i was looking forward to the Denon.
For theater the Denon is simply awesome I have a Sony 5000 DVD player and this thing sounds great through my old AR TSW-610s. For music the Denon really seems to lack adequate bass. Overall though it represents a respectible value.

P.S. I would'nt pay the $550 that alot of people have though.

Power, personal memory plus. learning remote

nothing major, could use a couple more inputs

I originally had an AVR-1400 and was very happy with it. As I was researching to buy a DVD player, I realized I wanted Dolby Digital but didn't have a lot of cash to spend and wanted to stick with Denon; but Denons with decoders built in are above my current budget. Solution -- buy a player with a decoder and an older Denon with 6-channel inputs. The 2400 was the answer. I got a Toshiba SD-2200 for $240 and this on eBay for $185, what a combo! The 2400 has plenty of power, it's 75Wx5 easily outdoes the 100Wx5 of the mass market Best Buy receivers. The great big heatsink and capacitors inside tell you this is a real amp. Sounds clear (a bit bright sometimes) and detailed, never distorts or colors the sound. I love the personal-memory included on all Denons, the settings for each mode stay where they were. S-video switching is a plus, but a couple more A/V inputs would be nice. The remote learns, so I was able to program DVD controls into a remote that came out way before my player. The one problem with this setup is you are limited to the Dolby Digital adjustments built into the player, and I'm probably missing some bass due to the less-than-ideal bass management of the DVD player. 4.5 stars overall.
