Denon AVR-2308Denon AVR 2308CI AV receiver

7.1 channel

The AVR-2308CI has been redesigned to become the focal point of today's advanced home theater system. The AVR-2308CI's audio and video circuitry have been revised to the latest designs offered today, yielding high-end surround performance in a mid priced A/V receiver. HDMI 1.3a ports allow for playback of many of today's audio video formats, and at the same time, provide ease of use and operation. High power, low distortion rated amplifiers deliver pure clean sound for enhanced liste... Read more

Copyright protection system (HDCP)
In order to play the digital video and audio signals of a DVDVideo or DVD-Audio disc using HDMI/DVI connections, both the connected DVD player and monitor must be equipped for a copyright protection system called HDCP (Highbandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is a copy protection technology consisting of data encoding and mutual identification of the devices. The AVR-2308CI is HDCP-compatible. For details on the DVD player or monitor you are using, refer to its operating instructions.
When the AVR-2308CI and DVD player are connected using an HDMI cable, also connect the AVR-2308CI and monitor using an HDMI cable. If the connected monitor or DVD player only has a DVI-D connector, use an HDMI/DVI converter cable. When using a DVI cable, no audio signals are transmitted. Use a Deep Color compatible cable for connection to Deep Color compatible devices.
When connecting with an HDMI/DVI converter cable (adapter)
HDMI video signals are theoretically compatible with the DVI format. When connecting to a monitor, etc., equipped with a DVI-D connector, connection is possible using an HDMI/DVI converter cable, but depending on the combination of components in some cases the video signals will not be output. When connecting using an HDMI/DVI converter adapter, the video signals may not be output properly due to poor connections with the connected cable, etc.
By default, the HDMI audio signals are output from the speakers connected to the AVR-2308CI. To output the sound from the TV, make the settings at menu Manual Setup HDMI Setup HDMI Audio Setup TV (vpage 27).

Connecting the Monitor

Connect the cables to be used (vpage 8 Video Conversion Function). With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable. To output the audio signals to the monitor with HDMI connections, set menu Manual Setup HDMI Setup HDMI Audio Setup to TV (vpage 27). Monitor
Connecting the Playback Components
Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and the inputs and outputs, and be sure to interconnect correctly.

DVD Player

Connect the cables to be used. With HDMI connections, the video and audio signals can be transferred with a single cable. DVD player
Connections Setup Playback
Multi-Zone Information Troubleshooting
The component video connectors may be indicated differently on your monitor. For details, see the monitors operating instructions. No audio signals are output from the HDMI monitor output connector. To play the sound by monitor, make analog or digital audio output connections to monitors audio input connectors. The audio signals output from the HDMI connectors are only the HDMI input signals. Video-converted HDMI signals are not included in the audio signals.

Connection to the AC outlets
These outlets supply power to external audio devices. The power supplied from these outlets turns on and off together with the sets power switch. Audio equipment with a total power consumption of 120 W (1 A) can be connected. To household power outlet (AC 120 V, 60 Hz)

Auto Setup

This procedure lets you measure the acoustic properties of your speakers and listening room and make the optimum settings automatically. This function provides the optimum listening environment for all listening positions in a home theater where several people view or listen to the video or audio source simultaneously. The measurements are performed by moving the setup microphone successively to the different positions where the family members sit within the listening area surrounded by the speakers, as shown in Example q. For better results, we recommend making measurements in 6 or more positions. Even if the home theater is only used by a small number of persons as shown in Example w, measuring at points around the listening position results in more effective correction. Example q Example w

About the main listening position (*M)
The main listening position refers to the center of the listening position, or the place where you would sit to watch or listen when alone. This position is used as the basis when measuring the distance of the speakers.
When using a subwoofer with a setting function, make the following settings before starting the auto setup procedure: Volume: Center Crossover frequency: Maximum Low pass filter: Off Standby mode: Off

Step 2 : Measurements

The listening environment with respect to the listening position (Speaker size check Crossover Frequency check and Room EQ , correction) is measured automatically at positions 2 to 6. Once a measurement is made, move the setup microphone to the next position.
Do not turn the power off while the settings are being stored in the memory.

Technical specifications

Full description

The AVR-2308CI has been redesigned to become the focal point of today's advanced home theater system. The AVR-2308CI's audio and video circuitry have been revised to the latest designs offered today, yielding high-end surround performance in a mid priced A/V receiver. HDMI 1.3a ports allow for playback of many of today's audio video formats, and at the same time, provide ease of use and operation. High power, low distortion rated amplifiers deliver pure clean sound for enhanced listening enjoyment. External system control has also been considered for integration into home control systems with the employment of an RS-232C control port. The AVR-2308CI also provides IR and D.C. ports for expanded control and integration.
