The all new Denon AVR-1509 (Year 2009 model) is here. When it comes to home cinema sound, Denon is one of the best in the home theater brands. Denon has been awarded with many WhatHifi awards (whathifi.com) with its high end receivers and amplifiers. Nevertheless, Denon has never neglected the lower end market and by providing entry-level models such as this AVR-1509 at an affordable price of RM1,799 msrp, most of us can enjoy quality sound from this solid built AV Receiver without worrying a bigger hole in our wallet.
Like the previous model AVR-1508, this is a 7 channels AV Receiver that produces 75watts (8 ohms) x 7 channels power. You get to enjoy DTS surround sound, Digital EX, ProLogic II/IIx, ES Discrete6.1 and ES Matrix 6.1 sound. It supports 2 HDMI 1.3a input and 1 HDMI 1.3a output for your LCD, plasma or project with HDMI input. 
The only downside of this AVR-1509 is that it does not come with the video upscaling features as compared to the higher model AVR-1709. There is no audio transfer via HDMI from your Bluray dvd player. The component video bandwith is also rated at 30Mhz only and there is no bi-amp supports for your speakers.
However, at a price tag of RM1,799 msrp, this is a highly recommend equipment for entry-level user. So? Why wait? Get it at Sound Fusion Sdn Bhd located at 3rd Floor Wisma Satok, Kuching, Sarawak. Malaysia. Tel: +6 082-420020
