Last month I asked a friend to bring me a Denon AVR 1910 from Singapore, where, as you all know, prices are much lower than here. He called me up and said that they had only the 1911. At that point I was not aware that the 2011 series was available.
So I ran to Google and was checking the specs and realised that the 1611 was now 7.1 with multi-zone. The multizone feature was the only reason I wanted the 1910 and now I had a chance to buy the more affordable 1611.
Of course when it reached I was quite baffled when it said 5.1 on the front panel sticker and had only 5 speaker connections at the back.
Again I ran back to Google and much to my chagrin, realised that the US/Canada spec for the 1611 was 7.1/multizone while the EU/UK/ Asia spec for the same 1611 was 5.1 single-zone.
To make a long story short, I sold the 5.1 and then got the 7.1 from the US though the 110V is a bit of a bother.
So here's a word of caution on the 1611 specs. Make sure you're buying what you really want.
