The Denon AVR-4308 is a top of the line home cinema AV receiver with both wired and wireless networking abilities. Denon have managed to cram a huge amount of technological features into their flagship receiver and the result is an awesome piece of craftsmanship.
Featuring a huge array of sockets for massive connectivity, you can plug almost anything into the AVR4308 (within reason of course!). HDMI 1.3a, Faroudja video upscalng to 1080p, support for the 24 frames per second 'native film' format and decoding of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD make the Denon AVR4308 perfect for the HD revolution. Connect the AVR4308 to a Blu-ray or HD-DVD player and enjoy supremely sharp and vivid images and wonderfully immersive 7.1 channel HD surround sound.
The AVR 4308 is ideal for multi-room configurations. Not only does it have multi-zone inputs and outputs, but it also features wireless and wired networking. This means that you can stream media from your computer or access over 7000 Internet radio stations and if you have wireless networking in your home then you won't even need to run any cables! In case none of the 7000 Internet radio stations are to your liking, there's also an integrated DAB, FM & AM radio tuner with RDS.
The AVR4308 is very easy to use and to setup thanks to the very attractive on-screen graphical interface allowing you to control and tweak every setting of the AVR4308. The Audyssey MultEQ XT auto-calibration system, which can easily be controlled using the graphical interface, effortlessly optimizes your speaker setup for maximum enjoyment.
The Denon AVR4308 also features handy USB sockets for connection to compatible MP3 players, hard discs and digital cameras. A sophisticated touch-screen remote control and a separate second zone controller are also included in the package, giving you full sofa-based control.
A hugely impressive and superbly built home cinema receiver, Superfi presents the Denon AVR-4308.
