The Denon AVR-1612 is an integrated network AV receiver designed to deliver a comprehensive home theater experience. It serves as the central hub for audio and video components, offering a wide array of connectivity options and sound processing capabilities.

Function Description:

The AVR-1612 functions as a multi-channel audio/video receiver, capable of decoding various surround sound formats and amplifying audio signals to connected speakers. Its "integrated network" designation indicates its ability to connect to a home network, potentially enabling features like internet radio, music streaming, or control via network-connected devices. The receiver manages multiple audio and video inputs, allowing users to switch between sources such as Blu-ray players, game consoles, TVs, and various audio devices. It also provides output to a display (monitor) and multiple speaker configurations, including front, center, surround, and surround back channels, along with a subwoofer. The inclusion of a "DOCK CONTROL" jack suggests compatibility with Denon's proprietary iPod/iPhone docks, allowing for integrated control and playback of Apple devices.
