Denon's top-of-the-line receiver
The THX Ultra2-certified Denon AVR-5308CI A/V receiver continues Denon’s tradition of cutting-edge features and functionality. The latest enhancements include:
- 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
- Ultra-high-performance processing and scaling from the Silicon Optix Realta HQV chip
- Built-in Wi-Fi Network audio and IP control
- XM and HD 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-5308CI is Denon’s top-of-the-line A/V receiver, boasting state-of-the-art audio and video technologies to power the finest of today’s 1080p HDTV home theaters.
The HDMI connections boast the latest 1.3a 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 the award-winning Silicon Optix Realta HQV chip.
Built-in Wi-Fi, auto set-up, a new GUI and more
With built-in wireless connectivity and an RJ-45 Ethernet port, the 5308CI 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, jpeg photos and album art, 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 eight 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 AVR-5308CI has a built-in HD Radio tuner that’s multi-cast compatible, so you can enjoy multiple streams from your favorite HD stations that offer them. The 5308CI is also 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).
Multi-room, multi-source, molto bene!
With 4-source/4-zone capability and an additional remote control included, the 5308CI 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 140WPC amplification, so you’ll have more than enough pristine power to feed even the most demanding speakers. Denon’s Advanced AL24 processing reproduces low-level signals with optimum clarity to bring out all the delicate nuances of your music.
