Superb Surround Sound with Dual Subwoofer Outputs
Fully compatible with current HD audio formats, the Denon AVR-2312CI 7.2-Channel A/V Receiver provides powerful, theater-quality surround sound. The vibration-resistant construction thoroughly suppresses the adverse influences of vibration on sound quality, ensuring maximum audio performance with multiple technologies:

Equal Power Amp Design: Each of the AVR-2312CI's seven 105-watt* channels is powered by its own discrete circuit. This allows the receiver to reproduce original sound more faithfully than conventional models, which use integrated circuits.
Dual Subwoofer Outputs: An additional subwoofer output proves especially useful in large room settings where one subwoofer may not provide adequate low-frequency output.
High-Definition Audio Support: The AVR-2312CI features support for Blu-ray high-definition audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. These formats play back sound with exceptional fidelity, providing a more realistic listening experience.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz: With the option of two additional height channels, this feature adds a vertical dimension to the soundstage, providing more immersive surround sound.
Audyssey MultEQ XT Support: Audyssey technology helps create an optimal acoustic profile for your home theater by resolving finer details in the response, particular in the low-frequency range. Using the included calibration microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT measures sound levels and adjusts speaker configuration accordingly, making setup fast and easy.
Multi-Zone/Multi-Source Playback: The AVR-2312CI lets you enjoy a program source in the Main Zone (the room where the AVR-2312CI is located) and in one other room. The source can be the same for both zones, or you can enjoy two different sources in those zones if you prefer. Use the Denon Remote App to control all the zones from anywhere in the home.

Full HD Support
With seven HDMI inputs, the AVR-2312CI allows you to route multiple high-definition devices--like game consoles and Blu-ray players--to your TV. It also allows you to connect all of your devices to your TV with a single HDMI cable, reducing cable clutter.

Vivid 3D Visuals with HDMI v1.4a
The AVR-2312CI comes equipped with HDMI v1.4a, allowing you to make the most of several premium video features:

3D Pass-Through: With the advent of 3D media, it is important to own a receiver that recognizes 3D video signals. The AVR-2312CI is able to pass through 3D signals from your Blu-ray player, ensuring that the 3D effect doesn't get lost in translation. It also recognizes signals from 3D television broadcasts.
Audio Return Channel: HDMI v1.4a also features Audio Return Channel functionality, which allows for audio content from your display to be played back through the AVR-2312CI via the single HDMI cable that goes from the receiver to the display. This eliminates the need for separate audio and video cables running from your TV to the receiver.
Auto Lipsync Setting: The convenience of Auto Lipsync allows you to eliminate annoying sync issues caused by digital transmissions. This feature automatically compensates for timing shifts in video and audio outputs to bring picture and sound in sync.
Deep Color and x.v.Color Support: The AVR-2312CI also supports Deep Color and x.v.Color schemes, which can display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture.

Enhanced Network Capability and iPod Connectivity
When connected to a network, the AVR-2312CI lets you listen to Internet radio, play audio files, and display images via an Ethernet connection. The receiver also supports AirPlay, which allows you to stream music wirelessly from an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iTunes. Or, connect an iPhone/iPod/iPad directly to the receiver with a USB cable.

With the Denon Remote App installed on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch, you can perform basic operations, like turning the AVR-2312CI's power on or off, adjusting the volume, and switching sources.

FLAC HD Decoding
For serious audio enthusiasts, FLAC HD decoding support provides for the ultimate playback of your high-definition music files. A compressed audio restorer guarantees that playback of any compressed audio files, such as MP3, WMA, and AAC, is crisp and clear.

Supports Pandora, Flickr, Rhapsody, and More
The AVR-2312CI is DLNA v1.5 Certified and compatible with Windows 7 for audio and photo streaming, as well as giving you convenient web control. This receiver provides online support for Pandora, Flickr, Napster, and Rhapsody, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of online digital content at any time.

The front panel is smartly organized and features a two-line fluorescent display, clearly labeled buttons, and onboard controls for volume and source. In addition, its on-screen display with overlay on HD and 3D sources provides quick information about your system's settings.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I upgraded my small home theater with this from a Yamaha rx-2700. The sound is a huge upgrade. You'll hear things you never knew were there. There are more than enough hdmi ports, and the form factor is beautiful. The Audessey speaker calibration feature and included mic are absolutely crucial and add a level of satisfaction with the unit that will blow your mind. Just one thing should you choose to order. Save yourself some time by checking your packaging closely for the Audessey calibration mic. I couldn't find it in the packaging and thought they'd left it out. I called Denon support and was told quickly to check the side of one of the big foam packaging pieces, and there it was, just as the support member indicated. It's kind of hidden in a little cutout on the side, so don't panic as I did. The sound modes are plentiful and even the virtual surround modes for stereo content outshine my dts decoding on the old Yamaha unit. I use this mostly for movie content, so I can't speak much to the ipod networking or the other music features. Either way, this unit is going to leave most well-pleased. My biggest gripe with the 2312 is that there wasn't a full printed manual included, just a quick setup manual. The full manual is on an included dvd in pdf form, so you have to go to a computer in order to read it which is more of a pain than you would think. Even with that, I'm very happy with my purchase. You add an Oppo bdp-93 to this and you'll never want to go to the movie theater again, much less leave your house.
