I too have been really concidering the Denon AV-3808CI and trying to find reasons why I may not buy it. I saw this at BestBuy Magnolia theater and thinks its awesome! However, I just found a review and am sort of secod guessing it.
I'm sure other AVReceivers have their issues but do you think this is a concern??
See Review on CNET (see "The Bad"):
http://reviews.cnet.com/av-receivers/denon-avr-3808ci/4505-6466_7-32553611.html
The good: 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 Master Audio decoding; XM-ready; automatic speaker calibration; Ethernet port enables digital music streaming, firmware updates, and remote custom installer logins.
The bad: 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 bottom line: 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.
I'm still going to look at their other Top Rated AV receivers.
