RATING: 3.9/5

Welcome to a review of the Denon DHT-1312XP Home Theater system. Add immersive, 5.1 surround sound to your home theater with the Denon DHT-1312XP Home Theater System. This powerful system pairs an AVR-1312 receiver with five speakers and a subwoofer to create a cinematic and detailed soundstage. The receiver supports high-resolution audio formats–including Dolby True HD and DTS-HD which makes for a dynamic surround-sound listening experience. This model is compatible with HDMI v1.4a and 3D media and the receiver serves as a quality foundation for your complete home theater system.

It has been noted that both the build quality and the aesthetics on this device are a little below average, though it is by no means a poor looking model. For an entry-level product, it is incredibly well built, featuring sturdy bodywork and slick controls on the front panel.

The DHT-1312XP comes with a fully functional remote control, part number RC-1158, which makes navigation that much easier with the touch of a button.

Overall this model is far from spectacular but will certainly get the job done for most consumers. The DHT-1312XP’s greatest plus is its price and value and will give you a complete surround sound system that fits the needs of most people looking for a sound system.

PROS:
• Solid sound quality
• Great value

CONS:
• Speaker build quality
• Light on features
• Overly brash at times, lacking Denon’s usual smoothness
