Description

Denon AVR-1913 630 Watt 7.1-Channel Network AVR x 6 x HDMI, Dual Zone – Tested, with Calibration Mic and Remote

Experience powerful, feature-rich surround sound with the Denon AVR-1913—a well-engineered 7.1-channel receiver designed for intuitive setup and exceptional audio/video performance. Fully tested and working perfectly, this unit includes the original Audyssey calibration microphone and remote control for immediate setup and operation.

The AVR-1913 delivers a robust 90 watts per channel (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD), with all seven channels equipped with fully discrete Class AB amplifier circuits for equal power and high-quality, identical sound across all speakers. The independent power supplies for each channel combined with minimum signal path design contribute to clean, musicially transparent reproduction. The high-current, low-impedance amp design handles demanding speakers with authority, producing dynamic, detailed surround sound for movies and music alike.

Audyssey MultEQ automatic room calibration uses the included measurement microphone to analyze your listening environment across up to six measurement points, automatically optimizing speaker distance, level, crossover frequency, and tonal balance. Audyssey Dynamic Volume adjusts volume levels in real-time, while Audyssey DynamicEQ improves surround effects during low-volume listening. Two Direct Listening Modes bypass tone controls and DSP processing for the purest sound reproduction.

Featuring 6 HDMI inputs (1 front-panel) with HDMI 1.4a, the AVR-1913 provides 1080p analog-to-HDMI video upscaling, 3D pass-through, Deep Color and x.v.Color support, and Audio Return Channel (ARC) for modern home theater systems. Network connectivity (Ethernet; Wi-Fi compatible with third-party adapters) unlocks AirPlay, DLNA, Internet Radio, Pandora, SiriusXM, Spotify, and FLAC HD/high-resolution audio support. The Denon Remote App works on iOS and Android devices for flexible control.

Flexible amplifier assignment allows configuration as 7.1 surround, 5.1 surround with front bi-amp, Dolby Pro Logic IIz height channels, or multi-room Zone 2 stereo output. Supports full range of Dolby Digital, TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-ES, Pro Logic IIz, Virtual Matrix, and DSP modes.

Denon traces its roots to a Japanese record and gramophone company founded in 1910, and its name comes from denki onkyo, "electric sound". For decades it built broadcast equipment for Japan's NHK, and its DL-103 cartridge was developed with NHK. Since 2002 it has shared a parent company with Marantz. We carry Denon AV receivers, stereo receivers, integrated amplifiers and CD players. We've had more than 160 Denon listings so far. Every used Denon here is inspected, tested and serviced as required, then photographed in-house and covered by our Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and Perpetual Trade-Back Program. Every AV receiver we list is tested input by input on our bench: each HDMI input and output, the analog, optical and coaxial inputs, the subwoofer outputs and the wireless features where it has them.

The Denon story

Denon says it first came into existence in 1910 as part of Nippon Chikuonki Shokai, the Japan Recorders Corporation, a record and gramophone company. Its direct predecessor, Japan Electric Sound Company, dates from 1939, and became Japan Denki Onkyo in 1944. The company joined Nippon Columbia in the 1940s.

Broadcast roots. From 1939 Denon supplied NHK, Japan's public broadcaster, with disc recorders and other broadcast equipment. The DL-103 moving-coil cartridge was developed with NHK in the 1960s and sold to the public from 1970.

Hi-fi. The DP-5000 of 1970 was Denon's first consumer record player, and the PMA-500 of 1972 its first integrated amplifier. Denon calls its DN-023R of 1972 the world's first practical PCM digital recorder. Its first consumer CD player, the DCD-2000, came in the early 1980s, and its first AV amplifier, the AVC-500, in 1985.

D&M and today. Denon was spun off from Nippon Columbia in 2001 and combined with Marantz in D&M Holdings in 2002. Sound United bought the group in 2017, Masimo bought Sound United in 2022, and in September 2025 HARMAN, a Samsung company, completed its purchase of Sound United.

Which Denon is which?

DRA stereo receivers: such as the DRA-625R of the late 1980s and the DRA-835R, up to the DRA-800H of 2019 with HDMI inputs.

AV receivers: the AVC line from 1985, AVR-numbered models such as the AVR-1800 and AVR-3808CI, and the AVR-X range from 2013.

PMA integrated amplifiers: from the PMA-500 of 1972 to current models such as the PMA-600NE.

DCD CD players: from the DCD-2000 and DCD-1800 onward, and DCM changers.

DP turntables: direct-drive models such as the DP-3000 (1972) and DP-7000 (1976), and 1980s automatic models such as the DP-47F.

DL-103 cartridge: a low-output moving-coil design, still made by hand at Denon's Shirakawa factory, Denon says.

Buying used Denon: what to check

HDMI boards. On modern AV receivers, HDMI is usually the first thing to fail; owners report failed HDMI boards on models such as the AVR-3808CI. Test every HDMI input and output, with the on-screen menus. We do that on every one we list.

2020 HDMI 2.1 models. Some 2020 receivers, such as the AVR-X2700H, could show a black screen with 4K/120Hz sources; a free external adapter was offered, and later units have the fixed chip. Ask whether the adapter comes with the receiver.

Output stages. Play any amplifier or receiver at a realistic level on both channels; owners report protection-mode faults after abuse.

CD players and turntables. Check tray belts and play several discs, including a CD-R. On an automatic turntable, play a full side, including auto return.

DL-103. It needs a moving-coil phono stage or step-up, and its low compliance suits medium- or high-mass tonearms.

Everything we list is inspected, tested and serviced as required here, and comes with our warranty.
