    CNET Review

    May 2, 2006

    The Good: The Denon AVR-2807 is a full-featured 7.1-channel receiver highlighted by its ability to switch between two HDMI sources and convert analog video inputs to 480p HDMI output. It also offers advanced autosetup capabilities and compatibility with Denon's optional iPod dock.

    The Bad: The Denon AVR-2807 has only two HDMI inputs, its built-in XM radio function won't play the new XM HD Surround stations, and the XM and iPod functions require additional accessories.

    The Bottom Line: The Denon AVR-2807's keen balance of superb sound, gotta-have HDMI features, and an affordable price put it in the sweet spot in the company's line.

    Review Summary: Denon's AVR-2801 is a reasonably priced midrange receiver with a decent specification and flexible functions but the insightful sound isn't as energetic as some of its rivals.
