This was the first receiver I have ever purchased. Prior to a recent gap in owning any audio equipment I had been using dedicated amplifiers and a pre-amp. There are trade-offs when going to a receiver and part of that is the complexity of the device and the menus needed to configure it, especially a device as capable as the Denon. from Crutchfield.com This is the first receiver I have ever purchased and I am very happy with it. I was very worried about making sure I could connect everything but once I figured out how it worked it wasn't a problem. from Crutchfield.com I would give this receiver 5 stars, if it were not so difficult to set up. After 2 days setting it up (during which time I was seriously thinking of sending it back for a refund) I finally got it going and the sound is great. I'm glad I kept it, but Denon should have somebody work on making a good, easy to understand manual. from Crutchfield.com Pros: Good sound and quality Cons: Source switching is a bit slow, input assignment is a bit confusing, might want to get the 3808 CI if want more power. from Crutchfield.com I bought this receiver and after some days I got to setup it correctily ... I think. from Amazon.com Got 2 Emmys for my work. I worked everything from uontold numbeer of Wide World of Sports to 12 Academy Awards. I say this because I hope you will understand when I say...."This DENON Surround Sound VR-2809CI IS FABULOUS!" I know whereof I speak. from Amazon.com I researched many A/V receivers and finally settled for this one based on Denon's reputation. I picked this particular model as I wanted to have two independent zones. from Amazon.com I purchased this as an upgrade to my existing AVR-1706. I needed direct HDMI cabling for Blu-ray Disc and some additional watts (heh-heh). from Amazon.com I'm really happy with my AVR-2809CI. The receiver produces remarkable sound; I can hear various instruments precisely. from Amazon.com Hi, I had this receiver (Denon AVR-2809CI) for 2 weeks before I returned it. The sound is great and the remote is awesome. from Amazon.com
