Denon AVR-3808CI review: Denon AVR-3808CI

Denon AVR-3808CI

Feature-packed AV receiver; visually appealing graphical user interface; four HDMI 1.3 inputs; can upconvert all analog signals to HDMI and upscale HDMI signals to 1080p; excellent standard-definition video upconversion; onboard Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD...

Main remote isn't intuitive, although included simpler remote can be used; user interface could use some tweaks; graphical user interface crashed a few times; poor 1080i deinterlacing; not Sirius-ready.

The Denon AVR-3808CI AV receiver is absolutely packed with functionality and sounds great, but you'll need to be an AV geek to unlock all its potential.

Denon AVR-3808CI A/V Receiver

Audyssey's MultEQ Pro is a Windows XP software application that connects between the AVR-3808CI and the installer's laptop. MultEQ Pro can then process measurements taken from up to 32 different mic positions to produce the most accurate speaker and...

The AVR-3808CI is a couple of models down from Denon’s AVR-5308CI ($5,500) flagship receiver but still manages to offer a state of the art feature set and awesome performance for a real world price.

Denon AVR-3808CI A/V Receiver

I'm not the sort of guy who replaces his A/V receiver every couple of years when the latest line adds a new feature. When it comes to audio, I prefer to choose a quality component and stick with it. My last receiver purchase was about five years ago,...

As far as I'm concerned, high-resolution audio support is a must-have feature in any new A/V receiver, and I find it disconcerting that some boutique brands continue to release high-priced gear without it. By the same token, decoders for the new...

I found a nice review from CNET which will explain it all.

I had this product for a while but decided to buy something new ; Nice sound ; Easy setup ; Android and IPhone app

Missing WiFi and Bluetooth ; Very big and bulky compared to some others
