I seem to recall that you were not in the states, but I wonder roughly in
USD what you'd be looking at for a good price for this receiver, seeing that
I already have speakers I can use. I just need the receiver itself. The
only concern I do have is that the sub woofer I now have doesn't plug into
an electrical outlet, so it's passive. It doesn't have a pre built into it.
Would that be an issue with this receiver?
Chris.

Subject: Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound receiver, Accessible Via An App
Hi!
I've had the Denon AVR2113 Surround-Sound Receiver for just over 3 months
now and - with the help of the Denon "remote App - the device is a joy to
use, I can use much of the functionality of the Receiver without the App
but using the app gives me so much access to so much more information on
the receiver, its status and its functions than the remote controller
alone could do.
There are many points to this Receiver and - in some ways - I really do
think that the word "Receiver' is the wrong word to describe such a unit,
perhaps "Entertainment" or "Media" Center would be more accurate.
The Receiver has built-in Internet radio thanks to the vtuner Internet
radio system, allows access to Spotify, Last.Fm and so forth through the
menu system of the Receiver and through the Denon Remote app itself, you
can even access Podcasts and video services such as Flicker.
I won't write at length about the functionality of the Receiver through
the app as this would take around 3 weeks to sum up so perhaps if people
are interested enough then they can ask specific questions and I'll do my
best to answer them given the fare knowledge I now have of the Receiver
gained over the last 3 months.
I would like to touch on what I regard as being an incredible feature of
this Receiver and its associated app and that is the built-in FM tuner and
the tuners RDS feature.
RDS stands for Radio Data System, this allows for transmission of data on
the FM band using a sub carrier of a transmitter, for example BBC Radio 4
could transmit data alongside the audio signal which might display the
name of the current aired programme, the current time of day and so forth.
Smooth FM might use the RDS to display the current title and artist of the
track playing or what the next track might be.
In any event you can actually have your IOS device read the RDS data to
you from the Remote App, this is the first accessible way I've seen of
accessing RDS data.
