    Denon reciever Price: $5,199

    If you're like us, you've been waiting for AV receivers to catch up with the digital age. Today, Denon introduced a huge line of receivers, with features that are up our alley:
    • Wi-Fi in the two priciest models, AVR-5308CI ($5,199) and AVR-4308CI ($2,499)
    • USB inputs for bus-powered HDD, along with AAC, FLAC, WMA Lossless, MP3 and WAV decoding
    • Networking connectivity for both PCs and Macs (via Twonky Media)
    • A friendly user interface (don't call it Cross Media Bar!) that makes setup and networking easier, included on the two priciest mentioned above plus the non-Wi-Fi 3808CI ($1,599)—see gallery for examples
    • HDMI 1.3a compatibility and 1080p output across the board; with 1080p upscaling on the higher-end models
    • Auto room setup that starts automatically when you insert the tuning microphone

    Denon Bluray Player Price: $ 2,000

    Denon unveiled its flagship DVD player, the DVD-3800BDCI, coming out this fall. It will be among the first to sport the BD-ROM version 1.1, which means it will have dual audio/video decoders to take advantage of picture-in-picture content, and has an SD card slot, so that you can download web content. It does not have an Ethernet jack, however, so you will have to use a PC to download content to SD. It's also, according to Denon, the world's first high-def disc player to use the Realta HQV video processor for super-badass video cleanup. The processor will clean up Blu-ray discs, if that tells you anything.
