Denon AVR-5308CI Features

Stop dreaming — Wireless audio streaming

Want to listen to your digital music in the garage, but your computer is in the home office? How about internet radio in the kitchen, or satellite radio in the backyard, but you don't have a device to play these music formats in those places? This all may sound familiar, but now that you've purchased the Denon AVR-5308CI with wireless networking capability, such conundrums are a thing of the past. With WiFi certification, your new AVR-5308CI allows you — given that you have a wireless internet connection in your home — to wirelessly stream audio from any device connected to your wireless network. If all you have is an internet connection, satellite music subscription and music downloads on your computer, cool, you'll be enjoying all these formats on your AVR-5308CI, from any room. Now, if you also have select other Denon audio components (the AVR-4308, S-302 and S-52 or S-32) you can also wirelessly stream audio from any of these sources, too. Walls mean nothing with Denon wireless-network audio streaming and the AVR-5308CI.

At the heart of home theater

Your home theater is full of components that give you the best audio and video entertainment possible. Make it all one big happy electronic family with a receiver that can take it all in and send it all out in high definition splendor. Denon's AVR-5308CI has the standard features you expect on a receiver, plus networking and WiFi capabilities. Four HDMI connections work with your most advanced technologies, while component, composite and s-video connections let you enjoy your old favorites. Analog-to-HDMI and HDMI-to-HDMI video conversion, with video scaling to streamline video switching, provide maximum content quality for every source in your system. XM satellite radio readiness and an iPod port increase your listening options. And four-source, four-zone capability adds custom integration potential to your home theater.

Super crisp — and we're not talking about lettuce

We're talking about the image you'll see on your screen when you use the AVR-5308CI. 6 HDMI (version 1.3a) inputs and two outputs mean you can use today's newest technology in your home theater and enjoy the highest definition audio and visual content possible. Simultaneous dual HDMI ouput means you can set up two HDMI-equipped components in different zones and run them at the same time. HDMI version 1.3a has more bandwidth which allows more information to be passed, so it supports Deep Color's 36-bit color depth and xvYCC color space, meaning an even broader range of colors can be used. More colors equals more realism. Even if you don't have the most current components, you can still get high definition entertainment thanks to analog-to-HDMI upconversion. This means that standard definition content can be improved to look like high definition. A high-speed, high-accuracy 12-bit/216 MHz video DAC is used in the video circuitry for component video, S-video, and composite video signals. This DAC enhances the reproducibility of delicate-level video signals, allowing high-definition video to be played back with greater fidelity to the original images. In addition, noise shaped video (NSV) technology improves video S/N for greater signal linearity.

Audio to match your video

A really great picture isn't that enjoyable if your sound is only so-so. The AVR-5308CI is equipped with the kind of audio technology that will make the most of your audio content. First, with 150 watts on 7 channels, you can enjoy full, powerful surround sound. You'll also get the best of high-definition content with HDMI version 1.3a. More bandwidth equals more information transmitted through the cable, so the audio can reach its full potential through stereo, 5.1, Dolby Digital TrueHD, 7.1, and DTS-HD. The AVR-5308CI features Dolby TrueHD and dts-HD Master Audio decoding. With 100% lossless coding technology (thanks to very high bit rates), you'll hear sound identical to the studio master. Denon also includes their new technology to restore compressed formats including MP3 and WMA. It will reproduce higher frequency range and deeper bass sound.

Zone and network capabilities

Don't limit the use of your components to your home theater room. Expand your horizons to four zones (three analog and one digital) and four sources with the Denon AVR-5308CI. Get digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital conversion for multi-zone output, simultaneous dual HDMI output, dual component outputs, and independent zone 2 component output. Experience the maximum freedom with multi-zone setup. The AVR-5308CI also has extensive networking capabilities. Connections like USB, Ethernet, and RS-232C let you play back music files from your PC or DLNA server, access over 7000 Internet radio stations, and show a JPEG Photo slideshow. Your options are almost limitless with the connectivity in this receiver.

Powerful converters

Three of the latest 32-bit floating point DSPs are used in the AVR-5308CI for decoding. The latest high-accuracy 24-bit/192-kHz D/A converter has been employed for the audio DAC, while a high-performance A/D converter of 24-bit/192-kHz quality has been used to significantly boost S/N and dynamic range. The AVR-5308CI also utilizes AL24 Processing Plus, the latest technology for high sound quality giving you the most bang for your buck available in an audio system. Package all that with DENON Link III (enabling high-speed, high-grade digital signal transmission), and a large-output power amp section and power supply configuration for stable high-power output, and you're ready to rock 'n' roll.

Getting the best sound

A new auto set-up and Room EQ, featuring MultEQ XT from Audyssey, gives you overall listening-area support using the supplied microphone. You'll quickly get just the right set up for your listening area. With configurable center, surround, and surround back amplifiers, you have some options for multi-room use. For example, you could enjoy 5.1-channel theater sound in the main room and a monaural environment in a second and third room. The AVR-5308CI also provides full support for the most advanced surround playback formats. In addition to the powerful THX, THX Surround EX and THX Ultra2 post-processing modes, you get support for Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24, DTS Neo:6 and HDCD. The AVR-5308CI is also XM Satellite ready with an optional "connect and play" antenna. Of course, you also need a subscription to XM services.

Connectivity/expandability

The AVR-5308CI is equipped with an Ethernet port that lets you build various types of network environments. You can use these network environments to take advantage of three new home audio network functions. The Audio Media Client function lets you stream audio over the network from a Music Server. This network connection uses two standard technologies: The Designed to DLNA (DLNA: Digital Living Network Alliance) Guidelines, and Windows Media Connect. Supported audio formats are MP3, WAV (LPCM), and WMA. Internet Radio is a system that lets you hear radio broadcasts from stations on the Internet. A wide variety of stations, both large and small and some of which are operated by individuals, can be found on the Internet. Until now, radio stations could only be heard if you were within listening range of their radio waves, but with Internet Radio, you can listen to broadcasts from all over the world. The list of stations that the AVR-5308CI uses comes from the vTuner radio station database that has been customized for Denon. Finally, A/V Receiver Network Setup (Web Control) lets you set up and control the A/V receiver over a network using Internet Explorer on a PC.

DDSC-digital

The DDSC (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit)-Digital is a high-quality surround sound reproduction circuit designed for Denon, and forms the core of the design concept that Denon pursues for all its A/V amps: to faithfully reproduce the original intent of content producers. With the AVR-5308CI, Denon has succeeded in developing a fully discrete design for the new DDSC-Digital in which high-performance ICs are used in independent blocks to form a signal processor that reproduces surround sound, and the discrete design ensures that all channels are endowed with identical response and quality of sound.

Connect your iPod

The AVR-5308CI provides a terminal for connecting your iPod on the back panel. With the separately sold ASD-1R, you can connect and play your iPod. A USB terminal that lets you connect your USB-compatible portable music player is provided behind the trap door on the front panel. You can connect the player to this terminal and play the MP3 or WMA (Windows Media) files directly through your AVR-5308CI system.

Enhanced audio is happy audio.

Taking the experience of your portable audio at home one step further, the AVR-5308CI features compressed audio restoration technology. Most portable audio formats — like MP3, for example — are compressed audio formats. This means that some audio information (usually higher and lower frequency information) has been removed in order to shrink the file, allowing you to fit more songs into the same memory space. Your AVR-5308CI's sophisticated digital signal processing with exclusive algorithms enable playback that improves the performance of compressed music formats, including MP3 and WMA. With the Compressed Audio Restorer, highs and especially lows are richer and smoother, bringing music back to life and as close to the original as possible. Experience your portable audio like never before, at home.
