Denon is offering 10 new A/V receiver models for 2010, which are all HDMI 1.4a certified for 3D TV compatibility. More importantly, all models, except the AVR-391, offer Audio Return Channel which enables a single HDMI cable to send audio data "upstream" or "downstream" from the A/V receiver, greatly simplifying connectivity.
Also, see videos below where Denon's Jeff Talmadge talks about the new 11 series A/V receivers.
