The AVR-2308CI's audio and video circuitry have been revised to the latest designs offered today, yielding high-end surround performance in an upper mid priced A/V receiver. HDMI 1.3a ports allow for playback of many of today's audio video formats, and at the same time, provide ease of use and operation. High power, low distortion rated amplifiers deliver pure clean sound for enhanced listening enjoyment. External system control has also been considered for integration into home control systems with the employment of an RS-232C control port. The AVR-2308CI also provides IR and D.C. ports for expanded control and integration. Setup has been simplified by simply plugging in the included calibration microphone and starting the calibration process. Dual remotes are provided for multi-room operation.

Found one, after LOTS of research

"I have done plenty of research with different A/V receivers, returned a couple, and finally settled with one quite amazing mid-priced, mid-range receiver. This thing, once hooked up, works perfectly, has AMAZING sound quality (the clarity is kinda freaky...I had no idea my speakers could belt out such highs (or lows) before!), AND the unit itself stayed relatively cool, to my surprise, even at high levels too, w..."

Denon is the King of the Arcane

"Denon receivers have always been difficult to set up and this one is no exception. Beyond that the AVR2308CI doesn't upconvert non-HDMI sources. While it has "Night Mode" audio, it lacks a "Sleep" function, a feature that's standard on almost every non-Denon receiver. The main remote is two-sided, but the most commonly used source buttons are on opposite sides. Denons sound great and provide a terrific picture i..." Read Full Review »

"This Denon A/V Receiver is amazing. You should not purchase this unit, however, if you are unwilling to take the time to read the manual. The remotes can be a little bit "non-typical." I spent needless hours trying to get A/V to work with my new Blu Ray. Finally, I reset the microprocessor, and, "Wa …" Read Full Review »
