Can anyone help me with a Denon AVR 1910

[admin_exported]

Im getting myself very confused with how amps work and needed sum help with this amp, this is probably a very simple question but would help me alot, how many scart cables can be conneced to this amp (using the scart adaptors) i got the below from the review section on this website but i dont know what part is for the scart outputs (i know you cant plug in scarts to the amp) .

HDMI Video in
4

Component in
5

S-Video in
0

Composite in
4

USB Video
0

Ethernet video
1

HDMI Audio out
1

Coaxial digital out
0

Optical digital out
0

Analogue audio out
2

Preouts
2

HDMI Video out
1

Component out
1

S-Video out
0

Composite out
1

There are no Scart inputs or outputs on this amp (or indeed any amp I'm aware of).

Hi thanks, i know you plug in a scart into the amp but theres these adapters which have three cables that connect into the scart as far as i know and these plug into the amp but i dont seem to know what the technical name of this is so i know how many of these units can be connected to the amp, sorry im quite a novice with amps

Ahh, okay, what you're referring to for video is a Composite cable (the yellow one). The red and white cables are for audio and are referred to on the WHF Tech Specs as Analogue audio (so one "Analogue audio in" on an amp means you can connect one set of both the red and white cables).

On the Denon and other AV amps, these can plug directly into the amp so need for the Scart adaptor.

Your list shows 4 composite in - which is a 3 plug connection (yellow for video, blue and red for audio) and you can get this 'out of' a Scart - it is the worst quality signal though.

Component is the other 3 plug connection (red/green/blue, seperate audio blue & red), but this does not come out of a SCART, you need the 3 coloured component connections on whatever you are connecting to your amp.

I assume you mean the composite, but be aware that this is a rubbish signal and does not compare in any way to component or HDMI.

Scart (fully wired Scarts) have composite (very poor), S-Video (bit better, but still tizzing) & RGB (which is not the same as component). The current widespread use of HDMI & Component has left Scart old and nearly out of time.

If this does not help, post some more information and somebody on here will know what you mean. They are a helpful lot.

My 1910 is arriving today!

refering to the denon spec it only says 1 composite out, is this right ?

There will only be 1 out of any type (HDMI, Composite etc.) as this is the output you send to your TV.

Outputs don't matter, you need to worry about inputs.

Hello, me again! That's not strictly true, it's entirely possible to get Component out of a SCART socket, provided the device supports it, I have a DVD player that does it, and I use a SCART to component lead to plug it into my TV, the only issue is that it's not very common to find devices that do provide it, most just do RGB and leave it at that. The lead has no audio connectors incidentally but I just use the optical connection for that, so it's no biggy.

I stand corrected. I've never seen anybody get a component signal out of a Scart, but I suppose as these signal types have become the norm, the Scart socket has tried to keep up. They are terrible things to try and reach around to put in though - they just don't self-align. I won't miss them when they do go away.

I may be muddying the water though.

The DVD player in question is at least 6 years old! It was state of the art at the time.

They are terrible things to try and reach around to put in though - they just don't self-align. I won't miss them when they do go away.

At least they stay in once they're in though, but it's not the most space efficient of connectors, granted.

thank you with answers, once i wire in the denon avr 1910 do i specificly require to connect a surround sound for music or will the TV's own sound still be working as ive ordered the denon avr 1910 from richer sounds, which is ment to come by the weekend but the mission mcube which ive ordered from superfi will take a bit longer.

It would help if we knew what you were plugging into the amp.

To be frank until the speakers turn up there's not much point taking the amp out of its box.

i would be pluging - PS3 (hdmi) Virgin Box (Scart) DVD player (scart) Satelite (Scart)

Just want to know if the TV's sound will still work as usuall once all the equipment has been pluggled into the amp

Given your sources, I would not recommend hooking any of the Scart devices into the Denon amp for video - they will likely all have RGB Scart outputs and you'll get a much better picture connecting them direct into the TV via Scart still - so these will still obviously get sound via the TV if you wish. For sound, connect them up to the Denon either via digtial optical / coaxial outputs (if they have one of these in them) or via standard RCA phono outputs if there is no digital output.

With the PS3, you'll want to hook that direct into the Denon via HDMI (when your speaker package arrives). Whether you can still send sound on to the TV through the Denon from the PS3 is down to the Denon - hopefully someone who owns it can let you know on this.

As stated though, until the speaker package arrives, I wouldn't bother doing anything.
