Denon 735 Watt 7.1 AVR with 5 x HDMI, Phono, Dual Room, Bi-Amping
Brains and brawn deliver enhanced home theater realism
Fill your home with rich, enveloping surround sound. Denon’s versatile AVR-2310CI teams high-current power for seven speakers with sophisticated digital processing to deliver a riveting home theater experience. You get decoding for the superior high-resolution surround sound formats available with many newer Blu-ray players and discs.
Denon also included the very latest Dolby technology — Dolby® Pro Logic® IIz. This cool new processing lets you add an optional pair of front “height” speakers to create a larger soundstage with an expanded vertical dimension — an exciting sonic enhancement for movies and video games.
Versatile video connections and maximum picture quality
The ‘2310CI provides 1080p HDMI switching for your five best high-def video components. Analog-to-HDMI conversion lets you send all your video sources to an HDMI-capable TV using a single digital cable, simplifying hookup and maximizing picture quality for each source. The receiver’s high-performance Anchor Bay VRS™ video processor delivers superior video scaling and deinterlacing — it can upconvert all your video sources to resolutions as high as 1080p. You’ll see improved detail and cleaner images from all your video components.
Flexible entertainment options
Dual-room/dual-source audio capability lets you enjoy home theater in your main room while a housemate enjoys stereo music in a second room. You can integrate your iPod® by adding one of Denon’s control docks, and tune in to SIRIUS Satellite radio with the addition of an optional SiriusConnect™ home tuner kit. And if you’ve recently discovered — or would like to rediscover — the sonic bliss of vinyl records, the AVR-2310CI includes a phono input.
