RATING: 4/5

Welcome to a review of the DENON DHT-1513BA HOME THEATER SYSTEM. The strength of this system is definitely the sound quality. The Boston acoustic speakers sound clear and pleasant even at low volumes. With these acoustic speakers the highs are clear and the bass is full and strong. It really stands out, and the mids & vocals really shine as well.

The AVR-1513 AV surround receiver adds to the sound make up as well. The audio delay adjustment is located on the remote control, part number RC-1170. When you are watching TV and vocals are slightly off, you can adjust it easily and directly without pausing the movie.

The compressed audio restorer offers enhanced sound for content stored on your Apple iPod or iPhone. Discrete circuitry delivers powerful surround sound for 3D movies. The speaker system includes two front satellite speakers, two surround satellite speakers, a center speaker, and a powerful, compact subwoofer. This sound system is solid home theater system and for the price, an excellent purchase.

REMOTE: RC-1149

RATING: 3.9/5.0

Welcome to a review of the DENON DHT-391XP HOME THEATER SYSTEM. The overall sound quality on this device is fairly good. The subwoofer is also very powerful and responsive, without overpowering all of the audio. However, one issue about this model is the satellite speakers. It has been stated that the treble lacks a bit and even with the treble maxed out, it still feels like you are missing out on the clear high pitched sound effects. This device does provide quality mid tones, but in in the opinion of some, without crisp highs, therefore the overall sound suffers.

This model is built sturdy, looks great, and presents very good options, plus you will receive an easy to use remote control, part number RC-1149, that will get you through the setup and menu options with ease.

Some people have had a problem with the lack of inputs on the back of the receiver, however it has been found to be perfectly fine because all of the components can go into the TV first, with a single optical digital audio going out to the receiver. Overall this model is fairly solid but it does seem per some, that you need to work with this model a bit more to get it setup but once that is completed, the system is sound.

PROS:
• Price
• Great subwoofer
• Compact and powerful

CONS:
• Freezes up
• Manual is not helpful
• Lack of inputs
