Dolby TrueHD, dts-HD Master Audio, and 1080p video
The Denon AVR-3808CI A/V receiver serves as the brains and brawn of your high-definition home theater.
* HDMI 1.3 compatibility, which allows for 1080p signal transfer and decoding of the advanced audio formats used in Blu-ray and HD DVD players
* Analog to HDMI video upconversion, so all your video sources look as good as possible
* 1080p scaling is done with high-performance Faroudja DCDi chip
* XM Radio ready
* PC/Network connectivity provides the option for automatic firmware updates
* Audyssey MultEQ XT audio set-up tailors the receiver for your room's specific acoustics
The AVR-3808CI continues Denon's new tradition of stellar CI-designated products, as it's chock full of the performance and features you require for today's 1080p HDTV home theaters.
The HDMI connections boast the latest 1.3 specification, meaning they pass a full 1080p video signal with 36-bit Deep Color for unsurpassed color reproduction on compatible TVs. Also supported, via Denon's newly developed Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit-HD, are the new Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio surround-sound formats now available on Blu-ray and HD DVD high-definition discs. And your existing 480p DVD collection will look better than ever with 1080p scaling provided by Faroudja's industry-standard-setting DCDi chip.
Ethernet connectivity, auto set-up, a new GUI and more
With an RJ-45 Ethernet port, the 3808CI makes it easier than ever to integrate you A/V system into your home network. Mac/PC audio streaming gives you access to Internet radio as well as all your digitized music, including MP3, WMA, WMA Lossless and now AAC-iTunes files! There are even USB ports (front and rear) with command and control functionality for portable music players, flash drives, and other devices. And of course the optional Denon dock lets you charge, control and distribute the music from your iPod.
This PC/network connectivity gives you the capability to make easy online firmware upgrades, and allows Denon engineers to remotely access your receiver and diagnose and fix many problems.
Another great feature is Audyssey MultEQ XT audio set-up, which tailors the receiver's settings for your room's specific acoustics from six different seating positions! And the new, truly interactive graphic user interface (GUI) for the onscreen set-up menus is much more attractive and intuitive, making it a snap to get your new receiver up and running and performing at its optimum levels.
The 3808CI is XM Radio-ready and Mini-Tuner compatible (with the XM Mini-Tuner and the proper dock, you can enjoy XM using your home audio system's buttons, knobs and display).
Multiple sources in multiple rooms!
With 3-source/3-zone capability and an additional remote control included, the 3808CI can easily be the centerpiece of your multi-room system. The RS-232 port allows integration with Denon's new two-way remote and RF/IR base station as well as third-party remote controllers.
Three independent transformers provide the juice for seven channels of 130WPC amplification, so you'll have more than enough pristine power to feed even the most demanding speakers. Denon's AL24+ processing reproduces low-level signals with optimum clarity to bring out all the delicate nuances of your music.
