Denon launching AirPlay enabled AV receivers for 2011

The newly announced range of 2011 AV receivers from Denon consist of 5 different models, with 3 of them being AirPlay enabled.

Denon's new AV receivers are expected to start coming onto the market this month, and besides the 3 models that are AirPlay enabled, all of them will support 3D pass-through, which has been made standard by Denon.

The Denon AV receiver models that feature Apple AirPlay technology are: AVR-1912, AVR-2312, and AVR-3312. In addition to AirPlay these receivers also support DLNA for streaming other file formats (audio and photo) from a computer or NAS device.

The lowest priced of the AirPlay models will feature six HDMI inputs and one output, seven channels of 125w, and Audyssey MultEQ. It is believed the UK price will be about £500 for this model.

Expected to be priced at around £800 in the UK, this model takes you up to a 7.2-channel receiver with 135w per channel, plus an extra HDMI input compared to the lowered price model.

The top Airplay model from Denon will have 165w per channel and will come with an extra HDMI output. UK price is yet to be confirmed for this top model.

All of the AirPlay models from Denon AV receiver range is expected out in June. I will be back with more information and where to buy when it becomes available.

These will surely be much welcomed in the AirPlay AV receiver market.
