  • Great pre HDMI AVR

    I purchased the very similar Denon AVR 2805 back when it was new for nearly $1000 from Crutchfield. I still have it and it is great honestly. It has survived some hard use with both zones playing at the same time (5.1 in the living room and stereo outside). I saw a great 3805 recently on Ebay and I could not pass up on a slight upgrade and now I have another AVR to use in my media room. The 3805 has superior DAC units and a few other options but very similar to the great 2805. I can tell of slightly better sound/build quality (the 3805 has a much larger power transformer) overall the 2006-8 models (in general) had/have HDMI issues, so unless you want to pony up and get a AVR a couple yrs old, I would go with one right before the HDMI craze started (2005 models and before).

  • Great Sound

    The receiver has great sound and it is easy to use. Although it's not HDMI, it is still very usable with coaxial and toslink digital audio. The DTS surround fills the room. I have an OPPO BDP103 hooked to the receiver via toslink and the HDMI to the LCD. Still great with analog sources also.

  • great receiver but a little dated

    It doesn't have the latest and greatest features (like HDMI inputs and Dolby TrueHD) but what it does have is excellent sound quality. This was a high level receiver when it was made. It does have plenty of digital hookups and outputs. And it has lots of features rarely seen anywhere. I have no problem with the lack of HDMI. I just use my TV for video selection and do the audio selecting with my receiver. It takes an extra push of a button to switch inputs. But the system sounds great overall. I love the fact that it has pre-level out connections for separate amps to run your speakers. I only use the Denon to power my surround speakers which it does very well. I have separate amps for both the front channels and the center channel. I do that because nothing made currently puts out the power of my vintage amps. Very few walls rattle like mine do as a result. This receiver was a great bargain for me. It replaced another Denon with similar features but less power. I need the extra power to the surround channels to keep up with the high power fronts and center channel. There are features on pretty much all Denon amps that prevent the "too much theater sound" effect where systems effectively reproduce the sound actually played in a theater. That's great if you have a theater. If you have your system in a man cave, like I do, you want a little more control. Keep in mind that true theater sound had speakers behind the screen and the sound is mastered to work with that setup. I have a different setup. I can use Cinema EQ to make the sound right instead of copying what was right for an actual theater. It's a great benefit. Denon makes quality stuff. That's the bottom line. And if you're willing to settle for older technology as far as hookups go and surround modes these older Denon receivers are a steal. You get great sound at a truly great price if you look around a little.

  • Great Value at a great price

    It looked better than the open box Denon AVR-589 new that I purchased a few years ago. The remote for the 589 also works with it. It looked brand new plus I think that it was one year newer than stated in your ad. Everything works as stated and it fits in nicely with my video and sound system, I just have to purchase some more speakers.

  • I love it..

    Sounds very good for a budget receiver with lots of inputs for most of my gear. One of the coolest remotes ever made tho kinda a learning curve to use..

  • Great Receiver

    Great receiver. Easy to setup. I am using it as an amplifier to my computer and the multiple optical audio and 2 optical audio recording outputs makes it perfect for my system.

  • Great older unit.

    If you're looking for modern connections it's not for you. One of the few last units with direct 7.1 inputs. Has many uses. Sounds great. Takes a bit of setting up and normal banana adapters don't fit for speaker connections.

  • Best bang for the buck.

    I'm using this primarily for audio for a 2.2 setup. I have my desktop computer hooked up to it. These units are a great value and were up near the top of their class when they came out. Aesthetics are nice, sound quality is excellent, with more than enough power for an average sized home listening area. With average maintenance (keeping the dust out of it) it should last for years.
