I can't believe it's not offered in more mid-level receivers. Listening to CD's, FM radio, or Cable/Satellite simply fills the room with music. 5 Channel Stereo is such a great feature. The DSP modes are average with the exception of "5 Channel Stereo". This makes setup "friendlier" and easier.

**TIP** Connect a cable from Monitor Out to any Vdeo In on your TV for On Screen Display. The 2800 is very powerful and feature-rich. You could use video sources plugged into the receiver without having to turn it on. One feature I loved on the Onkyo was that I upgraded from an Onkyo Prologic unit which gave me years of satisfaction. The 2801 was selling for $799 and after some research the only difference was the 2801 had about 5 watts/channel more power, two additional pre-outs and one or two other insignificant features. It was displayed right next to the AVR-2801 and the two looked like identical twins. I bought this unit as a closeout from 6th Ave in NJ. Purchase Stereo Review's Sound & Vision Buyers Guide. It was very helpful to me when doing research. Rest of system: Panasonic 32sf36 flatscreen tv, Sony 650 DVD/cd changer, JVC 7600 VCR, Paradigm Speakers (Mini Monitors- to make my wife happy, cc-170 center channel, PS-1000 sub-woofer- to make me happy, AMS-100 for rears and kitchen. They are now selling receivers capable of "6.1" surround sound. I can afford more, but it makes no sense. For the 99% of the rest of us, save your money and spend more on better components such as this one.īe practical, if the thing looks and feels solid and the company has a good reputation, and it sounds good, don't feel that you're missing out on something because your not buying the $3000 latest and greatest receiver out there. I'm not an audiophile and for those few of you out there I'm sure you think you hear a difference using very expensive cables. My guy set-up my whole surround sound system and to save $50-$75 and risk having the unit die prematurely isn't a wise decision. You may be getting a demo model or a used model and not know it. many of those "stores" are not authorized dealers. Beware of buying this or other models on the internet. He did discount the unit to me, but it wasn't as cheap as the internet. I paid a bit more for it but my warranty is covered by doing so. My local guy is an authorized Denon dealer and doesn't carry Marantz Products. I have 2 satellite speakers in my adjoining kitchen. I was going to buy the 3300 because of the incredible reviews, but discovered that there is no "B" switch on that model. I find the remote perfectly satisfactory. Those that complain are comparing it to a $400 Philips Pronto which is the audiophile's dream unit.
It doesn't overheat the way the Sony models tend to do. I love the 5 channel stereo sound my car has it and I truly enjoy it more than traditional stereo. It has all the inputs/outputs that are needed. I would recommend this receiver to anyone.
The instruments sound more defined and less muddied than 5 channel and the sound is more spread out than in 2 channel mode. When I listen to CD's I like matrix mode best over 5 channel stereo. Eventually I plan to get a DVD player but am waiting for them to include DVD audio in the players. The home theater performance is great with my VCR. I think some of the receivers, with lots of buttons and knobs are confusing to use and look junky. It's a piece of cake to use once you get use to the system, accessing the functions is easy and quick. Some of the letters mentioned the lack of controls such as bass and treble but I like the simple, uncluttered panel on the Denon. It's because of the vast improvement in sound quality. Before I was too restless to actually sit and listen. It's so clean sounding on my system that I actually enjoy sitting and listening to the music. I used to be a big rock and roll fan but as I get older I like the new age music now, My old pioneer served me well for 20 some years but the Denon blows it away performance wise. I bought this receiver back in November and love it.
