Premium Audio Technologies for Superb Surround Sound
Fully compatible with current HD audio formats, the Denon AVR-2112CI 7.1-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-2112CI's seven 90-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.
  • High-Definition Audio Support: The AVR-2112CI 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-2112CI lets you enjoy a program source in the Main Zone (the room where the AVR-2112CI 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 six HDMI inputs, the AVR-2112CI 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-2112CI 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-2112CI 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-2112CI 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-2112CI 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-2112CI 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-2112CI'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-2112CI 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.

GUI Overlay and Remote Control for Simple Operation
With its programmable functions and intuitive button layout, the AVR-2112CI is designed for ease of use. The front panel is smartly organized and features 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.

The AVR-2112CI's pre-memory remote control with Glo-Key and on-screen programming is easy to setup and use, thus giving you more flexibility in controlling your home theater.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Home Theater Receiver! June 3, 2011
By Pete
Amazon Verified Purchase
My 6 year old Onkyo TX-SR502 was an entry level AV Receiver and it was time to upgrade. It didn't have HDMI connectivity and didn't have an onscreen display. It also did not have an auto speaker setup and I wasn't quite able to configure them myself to produce great sound. We also noticed lip sync problems when watching DVDs on our PS3. So after much research, I decided that my second receiver would be the Denon AVR-2112CI.

First, I'll address the issues listed above. I now have my DirecTV and PS3 wired to the receiver via HDMI and my Wii connected using component cables. From there, we have one HDMI cable running from the receiver to the TV. Using this connection scheme, we seemed to eliminate the lip sync issue when watching DVDs and were also able to eliminate any delay when playing video game systems between the controls and the actual on screen action. The onscreen display is great for a few reasons. It was nice to have something to look at while setting up the receiver, but it is also nice to see the volume level on screen when adjusting the volume. Our coffee table blocks the line of sight to the receiver and we would have to get up and look at the old receiver to see the volume level. Lastly, the included Audyessy MultEQ XT setup configured the speakers so that they sound great. The real test was my wife who said that the sound is much better now with the new receiver.

On top of these benefits, this receiver has some other great features. When hooking up to the internet through your home network, the receiver can stream audio from numerous different internet services. I primarily use Pandora, but Rhapsody and Napster are a few other services available. You can also access your computer music files through DLNA technology. Now if you have Apple portable audio devices with wifi (think iPhone, iPod touch, iPad), then you can listen to music off of these devices wirelessly through the Apple AirPlay feature. I found this feature to be flaky (time to connect and music stuttering), but when it works, it is a nice feature to be able to listen to your iPod library with device still in hand. You can even listen to Pandora this way as well, so it is up to you which method you prefer. AirPlay also works with iTunes on your Mac or PC. Just select the little icon in the bottom corner of iTunes and select "Denon AVR-2112CI." As I mentioned, the AirPlay feature can be a little flaky, but this may be due to a poor connection between my D-Link DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit Wireless Router and my D-Link DAP-1522 Xtreme 4-Port GigaBit Selectable Dual Band Draft 802.11n N Duo Wireless Bridge/Access Point.

Lastly, this receiver features Audio Return Channel and HDMI Standby Passthrough. If you're television also has this feature, then one of the things you can do is run the video and audio signal through the receiver to the television while the receiver is in standby mode. This was important to my wife since she likes to watch TV shows using the television speakers. However since the new receiver produces a much better sound, she's often watching her shows using the surround sound, something she never did with our Onkyo.

My first receiver was a great entry level receiver for a new college grad living on his own for the first time. But this Denon is a great upgrade and is great for watching movies, playing games, and listening to music.

Update 17 Jan 2012: I moved my wireless router to the first floor (where Denon is located) and now the airplay feature works better. I still notice some stuttering to the music, but it is no where near as flaky as when my router was on the second story. Since I am still using a wireless bridge to connect the receiver to the router, the best option would probably have a direct connection (ethernet cable) to the receiver for a seamless airplay music experience. On another note, has anyone else had issues where the GUI for the net/usb function doesn't always appear on your television screen? This happens to me quite often and Denon customer service isn't too sure about what to do.

Update 24 Oct 2012: So I have been getting frustrated with the video not showing up at all when I try to use Airplay, which happens the majority of the time (audio still works, music plays through the speakers, but the receiver is also supposed to show ablum information on the TV screen) This is also an issue when I use the Net/USB function to listen to Pandora. So I contacted Denon's customer support and they suggested I reset the receiver by pressing a few buttons on receiver itself. After running through the setup wizard, I now noticed that the problem is even worse. A new issue that arose deals with standby passthrough. I have it permanently set to work with the HDMI 2 output, rather than the most recent output used. I do this because my wife likes to watch TV using the TV's speakers. Well now if we watch a blu-ray, which is connected to HMDI 1, then switch the receiver off and go to watch TV, which uses HDMI 2, the video and audio signal are not passed through. The only remedy as of right now is to switch the HDMI output to HDMI 1 before placing the receiver in standby, which suggests that the receiver still thinks the settings say "last output used." I know this is not the case as I have verified twice that I indeed set the standby passthrough to always work with the HDMI 2 output. I am getting really frustrated with this receiver.

Update 12 Dec 2012: I now have an iPhone 5, which works on the 5 Ghz Wi-Fi band; previous iPhones only worked on the 2.4 Ghz band. When listening to Airplay through the Denon with my iPhone 5, I get no drop out whatsoever. My wife's iPhone 4S (2.4 Ghz) on the other hand gets frequent drop outs. Basically having a better wireless network improves the Airplay functionality, indicating that any drop out problems were not the fault of the Denon receiver.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, but Airplay is not perfect yet. July 1, 2011
I've had my AVR-2112CI for about 2 weeks. I bought it for two reasons. I have an odd sized room with hardwood floors and odd speaker placement (4 ceiling speakers are centered on 4 vaulted parts of the ceiling with the center over a fireplace in a corner). I needed the Audyssey MultEQ XT to get the sound right. Secondly, I wanted the use of Airplay for our two iphones and our ipad 2.

The MultiEQ XT is great! I have nothing but praise for the difference it has made over my old Onkyo receiver. The sound is very full and I have had several people comment on the sound difference.

Airplay started off with problems. I tried hooking it up with two different repeaters with no success (sound was continually breaking up). I then tried using Trendnet 200 mbps powerline. I had the same problem with the music cutting out and for some reason my internet was getting cut out every day. Finally, I hired some professionals to fix my old cat5e cable that needed to be repaired. I hooked it up directly to a gigabit Netgear N600 router and things have improved significantly. I have 10 meg internet at my house, so my speed is pretty good via gigabit cat5e. My iphone 3gs still breaks up when using Airplay. There may be a compatibility issue with the 3gs. It does have the most recent firmware update, but still has issues. However, my ipad 2 and iphone 4 work great. You can put the receiver in network standby and use the Airplay icons (in Pandora, Slacker, Rhapsody, Youtube and Ipod) to turn the system on automatically and start playing music via Airplay. You can also control the volume with your iphone/ipad when using Airplay. The quality of sound from Airplay is great!

Sometimes, the Airplay icon will not appear. If it doesn't, I've found turning off the phone/ipad and turning it back on will often fix this issue.

I can't say much more about the receiver, because I really haven't had the time to test all of the other options. Mostly, I got it for the two reasons above. I will be replacing my iphone 3gs in a couple of weeks with the iphone 4, so I expect the Airplay issues will disappear for me.

Overall, I am pretty happy with system. Airplay is a little finicky, but my guess is future firmware updates on the apple devices will remedy this.

UPDATE: 7-24-11. I finally got my iphone 4 and Airplay is still cutting out intermittently. Mostly it works, but it is not uncommon for it to cut out for anywhere between 5-15 seconds in the middle of a song. My wife has an iphone 4 that cuts out less for some reason. My wifi signal strength is full when this happens at times. I'm not sure what this issue is. I'm hoping a firmware update on the phone side or on the Denon side will eventually fix this.

UPDATE: 9-6-11. I finally figured this out after reading lots of posts of forums. There seems to be an issue with a couple of the settings on the iphone interfering with Airplay. Go to your iphone settings and turn off bluetooth. Then go and turn off "Ask to Join Networks" in the wifi options. This fixed my problem and now Airplay works great! I hope this helps some others that are having this problem with Airplay on this Denon or any other Airplay device. The problem was with my iphone, not the receiver. The reason why my wife's phone had not been cutting out was because these options were off on her phone.

UPDATE: 5-6-12. I just wanted to let everyone know that I have not had to "turn off bluetooth" and turn off "ask to join networks" on our Apple devices for a long time. I'm thinking that Apple has addressed these issues in firmware updates. Airplay works flawlessly now without making these adjustments on our iphone 4, iphone 4s and our Ipad 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Sound! December 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase
I can not sing the praises of this receiver high enough. I spent an awful lot of time researching what Airplay capable receiver to buy and settled on two, this and the Pioneer 1121K. I had originally considered getting the Denon 1912 but Batpig's thread on avsforum.com convinced me to upgrade to the 2112 for the better calibration system. Having a hell of a time trying to decide between this and the Pioneer, I ordered both and decided to try them in my home hooked up to a set of fantastic Energy Take Classic speakers. The result: the Denon blew the Pioneer away. Now maybe Pioneer's MCACC calibration system just can't compare to Denon's incredible Audessy MQ and perhaps with some tweaking it would have approached the Denon in sound quality but I figured if Pioneer couldn't get that right, what else didn't they get right. Whereas the Denon is crystal clear with every note distinct and crisp, the Pioneer had a muddled, muted sound to it. Both I and my spouse could not believe the difference. I honestly don't think I would have kept the speakers had I gotten the Pioneer first, blaming the speakers rather than the receiver for the mediocre sound.

When I Airplay through this receiver, it's like I have never heard this music before. It sounds so good and immediate! Far better than when I Airplay the same music through my Apple TV. I can only assume that Airplaying directly through the receiver takes full advantage of its amplifying and sound processing powers. The fact that I can also Airplay my music to Zone 2 which runs my outdoor speakers is a very nice plus given the great sound.

I've had no network issues whatsoever with this unit unlike others but I do have the receiver hooked up to an Apple Airport Express that is in turn wirelessly communicating with an Apple Extreme Base Station so that may be the reason it works so well for me. I thought setup was far easier than with the Pioneer which I found unnecessarily complicated and convoluted. The onscreen volume indicator is also a nice touch missing from the Pioneer.

No, it doesn't have as many inputs as the Pioneer but since everything I own has an HDMI output this wasn't an issue for me. If there is a weak point about buying this Denon it's with the ridiculous decision to put the owner's manual on a CD rather than provide you with a paper copy. Not only is this highly impractical unless you have a computer or laptop in the same room as the receiver, navigation through the manual, even after copying it to your hard drive, is slow. Out of utter frustration I decided to print out the 100 plus pages to have at the ready. I would have gladly paid a little extra not to have to do this.
