Disappointed - No Audio over HDMI - 4/5 IMHO! August 25, 2008
Tarun Chachra (Hillsborough, NJ)

Disappointed...... br /I am a loyal Denon fan....I currently own the Denon AVR-4308 which gets 10 stars out of 10.... br / br /This received disappointed me ... the quality is there, the options are there, but no AUDIO over HDMI.......WHAT? Why spend $400 for an expensive hdmi switcher - which is what this becomes since you need audio to run through coax/optical. br / br /You can never say enough about the build quality, sound quality, and or feature set of Denon.... br / br /The box includes the basics....remote, batteries, am/fm antennas, manuals, audessey mic, etc... br / br /The remote is great - well designed - although the sliding buttons at the bottom to make certain selections worry me. But that is due to my LACK of knowledge on the product thus far. br / br /The sources I used to test the video output was a Dish Network VIP 622 HD receiver with HDMI Out and an old HDMI Upconversion 1080i dvd player. The receiver handled both video signals to our Sharp Aquos without flaw....the sound again had to be streamed via optical connections and was ok....(except my disagreement of them not having audio over hdmi..dont know why it matters so much to me...but it does.) br / br /ONE Thing to NOTE : If you have some sources that connect via Component and or Analog video, this receiver does NOT upconvert them and send them out via HDMI.... In other words...if you have an XBOX 360, for example, and it is connected to the receiver via component cables...then you must use the component monitor outputs on the receiver to the component inputs on your tv to get an image... The HDMI monitor output will only show whatever is input via HDMI. Please correct me if I am wrong. br / br /The receiver is solid, built like a rock. br / br /I am giving it a 4 out of 5 star rating because while it is a solid receiver with good power and great build quality, it lacks the audio over HDMI....which to me should be quite an easy feature to add since the HDMI is already there.... I also believe that in the days where HDMI has taken over, that the receiver should, as a basic feature, output/upconvert everything to hdmi. br / br /Maybe I am missing something, or my expectations at this price point are too high. br / br /Thanks All...Hope my review helps. br / br /UPDATE: br / br /RETURNED. Could not cope with the fact that this didnt do what we needed. We will wait for the higher end model to become available. Denon still gets a 10/10 in my book...but not for this receiver.
