Reviews of the Denon AVR-2307CI

CNET Review
The Good: The Denon AVR-2307CI is a full-featured 7.1-channel A/V receiver highlighted by its ability to switch among its five HD-capable inputs (two HDMI, three component). It converts all incoming analog video sources to HDMI output for a single-wire connection to HDTVs. The receiver offers advanced autosetup capabilities, and it's compatible with XM's HD Surround stations and Denon's optional iPod dock.
The Bad: The potential convenience of the HDMI features is tempered by the dearth of de-interlacing, and the fact that the onscreen display is visible only at 480i resolution; both will prove to be an annoyance for many HDTV owners. The remote utilizes an awkward, two-sided design.
The Bottom Line: Denon's AVR-2307CI delivers a strong combination of advanced audio/video features and high-end sound quality at a great price, but its HDMI shortfalls keep it from being a slam-dunk.
