  • AVR-4310CI
  • AVR-3310CI
  • AVR-990
  • AVR-4810CI
  • ASD-51W
  • ASD-51N

Denon has also said that their new A/V receivers, scheduled to be announced in 2010, will also carry the “Compatible with Windows 7″ logo.

These logos mean that these receivers can take advantage of Windows 7 and you can use Windows 7′s Play Tofeature to streaming your music to your stereo system over your home network.

Denon’s A/V receivers with the Compatible with Windows 7 logo come with built-in Ethernet and wireless allowing the unit to connect right up to your wireless network.

Because Denon’s units are not just audio receivers but video receivers too, one of their devices connected through HDMI to a HDTV can receive HD video streamed from any one of your Windows 7 PCs in your home using Play To.
