I have a Denon AVR-3808CI that got hit by a lightning surge. Graphically the front panel still functions correctly. All source changes register correctly, I just have no audio or video. I'm guessing it's a blown HDMI board. A very rough estimate on repair puts it in the $250-350 range. I'm...

But a bit of back story first. I did not buy this beast. I married my wife just last year and she got it after her divorce. Says she "kept it out of spite", despite the fact she hated it's complicated nature. I would never have bought such a monstrous and expensive receiver. Although the tech...

The NET/USB -> Internet radio: I'm only able to select once a radio station, and this selection cannot be changed till I power cycle. Somehow the ENTER button doesn't react. I even reset the factory settings, removed the plug at the back and disabled UpnP on the router. But the same power...

The HDMI board of my AVR-3808 is broken, and I'm looking to replace this AV receiver. Which AV receiver would you recommend? My HT room consists of 4x B&W 602 front and rear speakers, 1x B&W CC6 center, 2x B&W DS3 surround speakers and 1 B&W ASW-1000 sub. The AV receiver will have to feed 2...

I searched the forum but can't find the exact same issue anywhere--so I'll start this thread. I purchased new the 3808ci back in 2007 and have it in a cabinet with proper air flow. My setup is as follows: Pioneer 60" Plasma HDTV (kinda craving a new TV--but the picture is still perfect and...

Do you feel a Denon 3808 is enough of a receiver to run the Martin Logan ElectroMotion ESL? Just curious what all the experts think. Thanks.

Well I picked up a full b&w fpm surround sound setup (5.0) and am building my own sub (Marty sub box with inuke 3000dsp) so next on the list is a receiver to finish the setup off! I am not looking to spend much, as my speakers/sub already tapped me out pretty well. My only requirements are...

 OK I have the 3808ci avr shutting off at higher volumes. Have it hooked up to a ps3 and the monitor. Have just turned on the 3808 and let it sit and it didn't shut off. Turned on the Ps3 and let them both sit all's good. Play music from the ps3 at lower volumes and all is good. Turn up the...

 Hi I have a Denon AVR-3808 connected to a JVC projector.   All the HDMI components which are connected to the Denon appear zoomed, even the Denon main menu is zoomed. Everything was working fine until all components were disconnected to paint the room.   Is there a simple zoom in or out...

I am in the market for a new receiver to replace my Onkyo 707. My main reason to upgrade is I want 9.1/11.1 and Audyssey MultEQ XT32/SUB EQ. What are the pros and cons of these two as they are roughly the same price and is it still worth it to buy a 4311?

Hi all, time for a speaker upgrade.. I'm looking for some recommendations and opinions on what I've found on CL .. Current Setup : Room 21 x 16 x 8. This is a finished basement with carpeted cement floors. Epson 6500 UB HD Projector with 110in Screen Denon AVR-3808CI running 7.1...

I've got a single in-ceiling speaker in the kitchen for zone 2. I know that the Denon 3808 has a mono option for zone 2. Other receivers with this option? The reason I chose one speaker was because I have a 5.1 setup and the speakers come in pairs, and the kitchen does not have a lot of...

I don't mean between a $10 PC speaker and a $10,000 speaker... I mean, can the average guy, in the average American home, in the average sized room (20' x 20') really hear a difference between say a $300 speaker and a $700 speaker? Serious question. Right now, I have Polk RT400s. I think they...
