You get what you pay for ... an imperfect, larger ipod screen.......2007-12-22
If you have researched this product, you know that some people appear to love it, while others have significant misgivings (though some of the misgivings appear to either be unfounded or corrected in later firmware updates). At the end, I purchased this because the price reduction took it below $100 ... and for that price it seemed to be a good call. My hope was that this was actually a $200 to $250 product that was only reduced in price because of the potential incompatibilities with the most recent ipod (though Sonic Impact has now posted a work around where you switch the video input from ipod to external and then back again). At the end of the day, it was worth no more than the reduced price because of three problems with the unit.
1) Unable to get the widescreen to actually work with the ipod video. When the aspect ration on the unit is set to 16:9 it stretches out the picture (even when video ipod is set to widescreen, it still puts the bars on the top and bottom and then stretches it out on the left and right too much. I have to watch it in 4:3 on the unit so that it puts black bars on the top, bottom, and sides. Just wish I could actually use the screen resolution on the sides for a bigger picture.
2) Hissing of headphones when used with unit. This was discussed in the reviews below and it is indeed real. Interestingly, it is only present on my system when I watch video/not when I listen to music. It's bearable -- but a good quality product would not have this problem.
3) Battery drain. The unit does not easily turn off and will constantly drain (even if it is off). I have to keep it plugged in all the time so that it will be charged when I need it.
4) Buttons are touch buttons that are not lighted -- so it is difficult to control in a dark environment becaues you can't see or feel the controls.
For less than $100 it's a decent product, but it is not a great product and does have weaknesses that you will have to work around. If you are willing to accept these weaknesses, you will be happy with it at this price.
Great Product.......2007-12-20
I purchased mine for $89.00 and I'm very happy with it. I would recommend it to a friend. Great picture, good sound. One downfall, it doesn't work with my new 80 gig classic, but I'll just hang on to my old 30 gig and mate it with the Sonic Impact Video 55. Match made in heaven.
A good player but ... .......2007-12-20
A good player but ... there needs to be a better way to get the ipod out of the player. Once its sunk it its hard to get it back out. Also the resolution is a bit grainy but thats expected since its just stretching out the ipod video
Works with ipod 80gb classic.......2007-11-24
J&R said that V55 will not work with the new ipod models. Based on the review from Amazon, I gave SI V55 a try. Bought the player today from J&R and tried the sound and screen. Sound loud enough to fill my room and screen looks sharp to me. For $80, I cannot find any better bargain.
To see movie stored on the ipod, the trick is you need to turn off the V55 first. adjust your ipod classic: video setting TV Out to ON, then dock it to the V55 at the movie you want to play, then turn the V55 on. My first try was movie starting from the 1st on the list. Then I went to use the video playlist. Now it works well. The remote is very basic, cannot operate the ipod when it docks. Still testing the battery life and other functions, will update it later.
Happy with my new speakers. now I can watch movie at the airport without torturing my eyes. I will bring the ipod 80gb classic and the speakers for my Winter Vacation in Thailand.
not true 16:9 screen!.......2007-11-02
This product does NOT support true 16:9 aspect ratio in that you will ALWAYS have black bars top and bottom. If you set the menu to 16:9 ratio, it stretches the width so the image looks flattened. In order to completely fill the v55 screen, you need to create your videos with non-square pixel and 1.33 aspect ratio... i.e. like anamorphic dvd's but in a dumb way. What a hassle.
The video quality is just barely decent. The edges are rough and somewhat grainy. I would never pay this product at full MSRP.
Product Description
DENON AVR-3805 -- High-end home theater savvy, beefy 7-channel power, and impeccable construction meet in Denon's remarkable AVR-3805. The sound is powerful, pristine, and totally enveloping, thanks to 120 watts x 7 channels of Denon's high-current amplification. 5/6/7 Channel stereo modes New DDSC-Digital EX featuring Analog Devices Melody 100 32-bit DSP processor 24-bit, 192kHz A/D on all stereo analog inputs Sixteen Burr-Brown 24-bit, 192kHz DACs AL24 Processing Plug on all channels Speaker Selector Assignable, Ultra Wideband (100MHz) Component Video switching (3 inputs / 1 output) Video Conversion (Composite to S-Video to Component) Discrete Multi-room, multi-source A/V outputs 7 assignable digital inputs & 2 digital outputs New EL learning / pre-programmed Remote Control Detachable Power Cord
Amazon.com Product Description
Denon's ultimate-performance 7.1-channel AVR-3805 surround receiver is a high-quality, high-value receiver that's loaded with sound-enhancing and image-preserving features, including the finest digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital converters. The receiver provides 7 channels of amplification (120 watts per channel, 8 ohms, 20 to 20,000 Hz, with less than 0.05 percent THD) to drive all the main loudspeakers in a 7.1 home theater surround system. Ensuring high power and stability, the component employs a huge power transformer and an oversized block capacitor.
Of course, you get full compatibility with all the latest advanced audio formats, including 7.1-channel surround decoding of, among other formats, Dolby Digital Surround EX, DTS, DTS 96/24 5.1 for DVD-Video, DTS ES Discrete 6/1, DTS ES Matrix 6.1, DTS Neo: 6 Cinema & Music modes, and Dolby Pro Logic II/IIx (for cinema, music and games). Dolby Pro Logic IIx is the first technology to offer a choice of processing traditional stereo music and movie content into either 6.1- or 7.1-channel signals.
The AVR-3805 marks the debut of a significant Denon feature: Auto Set-Up calibration and Room EQ, making it easier to tailor the performance of the receiver for your specific home theater or music-listening environment. The AVR-3805 analyzes and calibrates 6 critically important speaker settings: connection, phase, size, channel level, time delay, and frequency response.
A feature called Room EQ corrects frequency response with an 8-band parametric equalizer and adjusts to the optimum soundfield, compensating for speaker and room capability issues. Auto Set-Up calibration and Room EQ requires the use of an optional microphone, either Denon's own DMS-305 or another compatible mic. You can disable both the EQ and Auto Set-Up features if you prefer calibrating the receiver in the traditional manner.
The AVR-3805 owes a big part of its great sound quality to its premium digital-audio technologies, such as Analog Devices SHARC 32-bit floating-point DSP processing and Denon's proprietary advanced DDSC-D (Dynamic Discrete Surround Decoder-Digital) circuitry.
The AVR-3805 features 3 assignable sets of component-video inputs and one set of monitor inputs (all with high-definition-compatible 100 MHz bandwidth). Simplifying video connectivity and switching among its 7 (each) composite- and S-video inputs, the AVR-3805 includes video up-conversion that converts composite- and/or S-video sources to component-video without compromising video quality, greatly simplifying your connections between the receiver and your television.
The receiver offers 10 audio inputs plus a tuner with 56 presets, including a phono input for your turntable. Denon's "power amp assigned" function provides a fully-powered, discrete 2-channel second zone, and the receiver lets you send a fixed-level audio output to a third zone, as well.
Like the company's flagship AVR-5803 receiver, the AVR-3805 also features the latest Denon Link 3, which allows the receiver to receive high-resolution, multichannel digital audio data directly from the Denon DVD-5900 and DVD-9000 DVD players (and future Denon products) for the ultimate level of sonic performance. Denon Link 3 is compatible with all previously released Denon Link products, but is now ready to accept digital SACD data from future Denon source units, if and when formal approval is granted. The AVR-3805 also has an RS-232 serial port for external controllers.
Denon's sleekly contoured programmable EL (Electro-Luminescence) remote control lets you command even the most sophisticated home entertainment systems from a single intuitive device.

Customer Reviews:
Faulty unit, very poor Denon customer service.......2006-10-02
Read the reviews of other Denon Products and see how many agree...
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU BUY THIS FROM -- MOST etailers are NOT on Denon's approved list -- and they will NOT honor the warranty if bought through them. Denon has two tiers of product marketing: very high price thru an "authorized" dealer and warranty support or low price thru an "unauthorized" dealer with no warranty support. Visit Denon.com to view the limited authorized supplier list. Denon will have NO MERCY if you buy thru a non-authorized dealer, despite having sold to them in the first place! You won't find this technique employed by Sony, Panasonic,...
My unit performed perfectly for about 4 weeks. The sound configuration takes some figuring but is sheer beauty when done. The 7.1 signal processing works wonderfully. Unfortunately, the component output completely stopped working without any warning and I am left with a large "boat anchor" in need of several hundred dollars of repair. I'm pretty discouraged...
Why would Amazon sell discontinued products?.......2006-06-10
I bought this receiver a couple of months ago. I am generally satisfied with the quality albeit, I was shocked to know that this is a discontinued product! This means, there is virtually no chance of Denon offering any updates/patches on this product.
I hold Amazon is high esteem but I am very surprised to find it discontinued products on the catalogue. For couple of hundrer dollars, I could have bought something is HDMI switching right on this website.
Fabulous unit that will drive you nuts!.......2006-03-26
I am proud owner of one of these, hooked up full THX with (big) Bose (not the tiny uppie systems for people who want to hide their speakers) and Snells. It replaced a 5700 when I added the 2 extra channels. Up until the 5700, I never had to read a manual in my life (62yo), and even that wasn't too bad except the 5700's remote wasn't very friendly). This beast (3805)is a different story, the remote doesn't make sense, the manual is impossible to figure out, and what a pain in the butt to program every input to the format you want to use (i,e, analog, coax, optical, VHS, S-VHS, component, composite --you get the jist) And if you want to plug something else in temporarily (like my car Sirius recever in its home dock) you're going to get a migraine trying to figure out what to unplug to plug the Sirius in before the program's over.
SOUNDWISE THIS UNIT IS FABULOUS--MORE THAN MATCHES THE 3 LEXICONS I'VE OWNED, but finally gave up on because of their total lack of versatility for use in the real world.
BOTTOM LINE I ENTHUSIASTICALLY LOVE THE RECEIVER, HATE THE REMOTE, AND ALWAYS TAKE MY SHOES OFF WHEN I CHANGE ANY SETTINGS SO I WON'T BE TEMPTED TO KICK THE #### OUT OF IT IF IT STILL DOESN'T WORK AFTER THE 3RD TRIAL SETUP
Great Performance and Quality / Attrocious Manual.......2006-01-05
I just installed this receiver over Christmas. It was a bit of a jump from an older Denon receiver (still perfect after 13 years), but we need surround sound and 3 zones of music. We basically used all of the surround sound and multi-zone features in this unit.
The positives:
It performs as well as could be hoped for. Sound quality is amazing and build quality is better than I thought was available from a large manufacturer.
The interconnect options are unbelievable. Other than no DVI (which a friend who's a pro camera man recommends), it's got everything.
It does everything as advertised.
The negatives:
It's heavy (44 pounds) Watch your back! As an engineer, I find it reassuringly heavy (high quality), so this is a positive to me.
Setup took ridiculously long because of the manual (2 hours to get a Denon CD changer to output sound to zone 2/3). I'm an engineer in a high tech company with tons of electronic integration experience, so I don't think it's me. If you only hook up the 5.1/7.1 speakers with a DVD player and a couple of stereo inputs it shouldn't be bad. But, when you start using multi-zone, etc. it gets very involved. My observations on the cause:
First, there are many undocumented limitations (E.G., which input formats will drive which outputs for audio multi-zone).
Second, the manual was apparently translated from Japanese to English by someone who spoke neither Japanese, nor English. It's a confusing mess.
I talked to a local Denon shop and they said they send a tech out to do the setup with every unit they sell.
My overall opinion: It's a beautiful piece of work, but prepare your significant other for 2-3 days of immersion in the project if you are going to use all the system capabilities.
the ups and downs of Denon.......2005-12-11
Denon AVR-3805
Pros:
+7.1 surround (this is a con for your bank account)
+Clean pure sound without coloration
+Nice display
+Automatic room EQ settings via microphone
+Lots of connections
+Good build quality
+Pre Ins/Main Outs
+None of the costs went to George Lucas or Creative Labs for a now meaningless THX rubber stamp
+Overall build and sound quality are much better than the price would suggest
+Not Bose
Cons:
-Remote usability sucks--most Denon remotes do so you may expect that
-Because remote lights up whenever touched, it eats through batteries quickly
-Amps could not drive my main speakers that were 6ohm (but sometimes likely dropped to much lower)
-I solved that by adding an external amp to drive the mains, but then the automatic room EQ setting did not work at all
-Somewhat difficult to navigate the UI from the display alone, somewhat dependent on the on-screen display
-No DVI switching or pass through
