Follow Up: Denon’s HDMI 1.3 Receivers

Back in November Audio DesignLine unveiled new window some of the first details surrounding (pun intended) Denon’s forthcoming A/V receivers with HDMI 1.3 support, we now have a few more tentative details about the new ‘08’ series of receivers from Denon. It appears as if the receivers will be rolled out in two waves, the first wave in July will include the AVR-4308ci and AVR-3808ci with the AVR-1508, AVR-1708 and AVR-2808 following in September.

Again these are tentative details but should remain accurate baring any last minute launch snafus. The AVR-4308ci ($2,499) will sport four HDMI 1.3 inputs with two parallel HDMI outputs, support for internal Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio decoding over HDMI, auto lip-sync correction, 8-position Audyssey MultEQ, Ethernet & Wi-Fi capabilities for internet radio and presumably support for Windows Media PlaysForSure new window functionality. The 4308 will also support second zone component video output and digital to analog conversion for multi-zone applications.

The AVR-3808ci (also tentatively expected in July) will retail for $1,599 and features four HDMI 1.3 inputs, support for internal Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD audio decoding over HDMI, auto lip-sync correction, 6-position Audyssey MultEQ, Ethernet connectivity and again presumably support for Windows Media PlaysForSure. The 3808ci also supports digital to analog conversion for multi-zone applications. Both the AVR-4308ci and AVR-3808ci are said to have had their on-screen graphical interfaces redesigned as well.

The second wave of receivers in September will include the AVR-1508, AVR-1708 and AVR-2808 (no pricing as yet). The AVR-1508 AVR-1708 will support HDMI 1.3 but ‘switching mode’ only, in a nutshell that means that they will support HDMI audio, ‘Deep Color’ and 1080p pass-through but not internal Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD processing, although you can still achieve lossless audio from Blu-ray and HD DVD output as PCM from the players over HDMI.

The AVR-2808’s HDMI 1.3 path is said to offer the same functionality as the AVR-4308ci and AVR-3808ci, i.e. internal Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD decoding as well as auto lip-sync correction. Good stuff indeed, I can’t wait to get my hands on the AVR-3808ci.

ayan napo sila....   mura ang onkyo sa denon....but I need pre-outs.......maybe the cheapest one with internal decoding of dolby trueHD and DTS MA and with pre-outs, will be the most viable proposition.....

Ok din yang option, para try mo naman Onkyo. Bagay din daw yan sa B&W's mo.

Since naka power amps ka na, your options are not limited!  No need to get the highest model anymore since the power amps will pack the punch.

Based on our experience past Denon flagship receiver models, especially the AVR-5805, Denon's new A/V Separates solution has the potential to re-define the market based on performance and feature firsts to the marketplace.

Pricing has not officially been announced but we'd expect it to be less than a small import car.

worth it bitbitin yan? thanks..

okay...will check...coz the last time that i've been on the shop, they still dont have the pricing....they are just testing their newly arrived merchandise, its not even on the display area yet......IMO, it is worth na bitbitin ito pauwi dyan sa atin....hehehehe

have you noticed any issues like dropping of HDMI signal, popping/clicking sound on change of sources? Does it run hot?
I guess the price of this is similar to Onkyo 805 but if this do not have the issues like that of onkyo then this is a better buy.

[mike c]

FYI lang

the models we get here are NOT CI versions ... they have fewer switched outlets, lower models probably have no 12v triggers

and then unlike the 07 series na 1907 lang may preout na
preout sa 08 series I think starts at 2808

[redhorse]

@5speed,

thanks.. will wait for d reply

when I saw it in the show room, they are just testing it for pure audio....in fact, it is just out of the box at that time, they say they will try a series of test first before they officially put it side by side with other new receivers on their shop.   they hooked it up with B&W CM1.....sweet sound...

[5Speed]

@5speed,

thanks.. will wait for d reply

redhorse,

I will try to get you the price....basta nagawi ako don sa shop....malayo kasi yon sa workplace ko.....hehehehe

[lakambini]

mike c

i was already keen on acquiring a new denon 1908, mabuti na lang na-double check ko sa shop at tama ka nga na wala siyang preouts, ok na sana lahat, haaaaayyyyy, so disheartening naman, got to look for another.

good to have helped someone   gulat din ako nung hindi ko makita pre-outs sa pics ... sa denon HK website ako tumingin.

nung bumili kasi ako ng 2307 ... di ko alam na hindi CI, so walang 12v trigger.

pero wala pa naman player na nakaka output ng DTS-HD, so wala pang benefit sa atin yung HDMI 1.3.  the 07 series na HDMI 1.1 will output the same high res audio just like the new 08
