Denons basically have no error reporting; they just eat anything they don't understand. So here we go:Cynical Denon AVR -> TFHD?
"Hey, Denon, what's your HD radio frequency?"Cynical Denon AVR <- <Ctx:<attr:tuner_frequency>> HD 008750
"I've got an HD radio tuned to 87.5FM!"Cynical Denon AVR <- <Ctx:unknown> TFHDMCA
Cynical Denon AVR -> TFAN?
"Hey Denon, what's your analog frequency?"Cynical Denon AVR <- <Ctx:<attr:tuner_frequency>> AN 052000
"My analog frequency is 520KHz."
And the plugin panics (wisely - it's not written for what's reported as two different tuners).
Now I can't find a protocol description for the AVR-4308CI anywhere online (how old is this thing?). Is it supposed to really have two radios, or is the firmware just getting a bit, well, confused?
Cheers

The 4308 is about 5 years old.
I have all of the protocol docs; It lists valid input sources as:
PHONO CD TUNER DVD HDP TV/CBL SAT VCR DVR V.AUX NET/USB XM HDRADIO DAB IPOD
I can send you all of the docs, if you would like them.
