Denon avr 2809 January 7, 2009
The options on the av receiver rival those of most comparably priced av receivers. The Audessey features are undoubtedly what make this a standout receiver. The set up is a bit confusing but once completed it is well worth the effort
Denon AVR-2809CI January 6, 2009
The unit arrived on schedule and works as I expected it to. The price was exceptional and allowed me to go up to a higher level receiver than I had originally planned on. The receiver allows full EQ on each audio channel unlike the comparable Sony. The menu interface is simple text rather than fancy graphics on the Sony but for me the audio EQ was much more important feature. Over all it is a winner!
Great receiver for anyone serious about sound. Not entry level. January 1, 2009
I sifted through a ton of reviews and product comparisons before I settled on this Denon receiver, and I'm very happy with it. In the end I had it narrowed down between a Denon and a Pioneer Elite (which are great products, too). The salesperson in BB tried to sell me either the AVR-2808 (the step down, which only has 2 HDMIs for $999) or the 3809 (the step-up, which had a lot of nice features, but probably unnecessarily high-end for the average person and was out of my price range at about $1499).
So I did some research and found the AVR-2809 on here for $999. It's a perfect balance between the 2 models I described in the above paragraph. It has a very adequate 115 Watts x 7 and 4 HDMI inputs, twice as much as the step down. The sound quality is excellent. It was easier to set up than I thought it would be. I may just be saying that because I'm pretty good with electronics, but as long as you look at the instructions (you don't need to read them cover to cover), it shouldn't be a problem. It does a lot for you, and it has on-screen setup. I won't go into too much detail, but it also has a feature to optimize sound quality for each of your listening positions in your living room. It's part of set-up, and all you really have to do is move a little microphone to different spots and press a button. Really a great receiver.
Great Deal!! December 10, 2008

Denon top of the line... November 22, 2008

When researching AVR head units years ago I settled on Denon's AVR-3802. It performed flawlessly for years and years. The drawback was its limited HDMI support - which really wasn't very popular then and HD did not exist.
During the process of upgrading to HD (shocked to see that Sony's PS3 was the BEST Blue Ray player! gads...) required replacing this Denon head unit. Sadly it still works flawlessly!
After an extensive research and considering other units (Onkyo - owned by my brother) I really could not stray from Denon. Hours were spent finally comparing one Denon unit to the other. What made me settle on THIS unit was a combination of cost and the generous HDMI input (4).
Set up wasn't difficult IF YOU READ THE DIRECTIONS. If you're like most guys and try to blow through it and "plug and play" the thing - forgetaboutit. Really suppress your male genes and actually READ the process and follow it to a "T". You will be grateful in the long run. Allow a couple hours or so for this process.
Right now my Denon's like a good football referee. I don't even KNOW it's there. Just FLAWLESS, CLEAR operation with a single click. PHENOMENAL sound and video pass through.
Bottom line: you just can NOT go wrong with a Denon unit. WHICH Denon unit is your only dilemma. Price point and features your require are what should guide you to the exact model number.
Can I give it a 6-star rating?
