Performance

Denon AVR-3805 (black)

A 7.1-channel receiver; high-end style and feel; graphic-display remote; all-digital hookup for compatible Denon SACD/DVD-A players; turntable input; versatile surround speaker switching.

The included superslick universal remote may be too advanced for its own good.

Denon AVR-3805, review

Being a recent convert to the joys of Denon, I have to admit it feel's a little odd having the ‘competition' in my setup. My interest in the line really started with the addition of an AVR-3802 to my system. It got me thinking this is a decent piece of...

Denon AVR-3805 Receiver

All of the receivers I reviewed for this roundup have learning/preprogrammed remotes, but Denon's backlit blue-membrane remote is the coolest of the bunch. It glows when you pick it up. Touch a source, and the screen layout changes to reveal controls...

Denon AVR-3805 Receiver

Denon AVR-3805

There is something about the new range of AV receivers hitting the market today, they just seemed to have stepped it up a notch in performance and are forever pushing the "bang for the buck" boundary

Denon's latest high-mid priced offering (is that an oxymoron?) is a stunner. Feature packed, great sounding and a great looking piece of gear to go with it

I am not going to go into all of the overwhelming specifics of the receiver because it is way too much to list. You can check www.Crutchfield.com for all of the specifics (as well as other reviews from this site). Im going to give a 'somewhat' short...
