Denon AVR-4308CI Multizone Home Theater Receiver with Network Streaming and Wi-Fi

Simply phenomenal HD performance when paired with the Panasonic bdp35k and the Samsung 750 series 52" LCD.
Very high quality and great flexibility with a somewhat challenging set-up; highly recommended!
Lot's of power and clean sound. Each channel is easily idenfitied. Very pleased!
The item is one of the best I've ever bought. The quality of the product is amazing. I already have an AVR 4306, but without a doubt the AVR 4308CI is better and worth the money.
HD radio, 4 HDMI, 140 Watt multizone output, good value for price point.

Denon AVR-4310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver

Lots of power, I like the Audessey eq set up, and the sound is, well, that wonderful Denon sound.
If you like to tinker around, you'll be awarded with a nice, warm, powerful sound, great video, and more than enough inputs and features.
Without doubt the best deal out there for a top rate A/V receiver. Great audio and video. Does SACD and DVD-A.
If you want a solid piece of gear that sounds and looks great, then this is for you. I
The Denon sound has always been pleasing to my ear, but the AVR 4310ci receiver has taken their outstanding sound to another level.

What customers say about "Features"

Denon AVR-4308CI Multizone Home Theater Receiver with Network Streaming and Wi-Fi

This unit was very easy to set up right out of the box. The audio sound from LPCM Uncompressed, Dolby True HD, or DTS MA HD Blu ray's is amazing.
Great quality picture and sound, excellent build quality, nice display, GUI interface, easy to assign/rename imputs.
The important features for me were HDMI switching (with full support for Dolby TrueHD and the rest of the Blu Ray sound formats) and Audissey room calibration.
I have a Mac Book Pro with a Windows environment which is where I tried to get the Media Player and Twonky working properly. In the end, my goals were not being reached.
The Audyssey is a nice feature for setting up the theater room, but the receiver itself has proven completely useless for managing large music collections.

Denon AVR-4310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver

This is my 3rd Denon avr receiver (Avr-3802, avr- 4306 where my first two). Nice update to the GUI interface.
This has seven discreet amplifier circuits so you can drive up to seven speakers, or configure them to bi-amp speakers designed for it.
The menu is clear and convenient, you don’t have to figure it out for a long time, which saves a lot of time.
The user interface is not joyous, and I had to buy a Harmony universal remote because I couldn't deal with the peculiar remote control Denon.
This is my 5th denon reciever and my last...network card problem from day one...not user friendly ...networking barely usable and extremely slow...

What customers say about "Connectivity"

Denon AVR-4308CI Multizone Home Theater Receiver with Network Streaming and Wi-Fi

I had no idea the diversity of content available on the net, and I was happily surprised at the high fidelity when paired with a cable modem connection.
I removed about 20lbs of AV and audio cables from my setup when migrating to HDMI. A nice plus.
I have used the Denon AVR-4308ci receiver for about month now and have been impressed with the improvement of the picture quality produced by my 1080p projector using the HDMI.
The 4308ci is one of a very few home theater receivers that has two HDMI outputs so it can support a projector and a flat panel display concurrently.
The process was easy, except for setting up the wireless network connectivity. I had to use the remote to 'kick start' the configuration.

Denon AVR-4310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver

The denon switching and HDMI boards are some of the most best in the industry!
It offers many choices for multi-media control and playback for both video and audio, with assignable HDMI, component, composite, digital coax, and digital optical inputs and outputs.
Ports work fine, for two years of use there were no problems, recommended!
I have had this unit for 8 months now. It had green video lines on the HDMI output the day I got it.
This is a terrible receiver. I have never had the HDMI switch properly. You need to turn the machine on and off if you make a switch from one input to another.
