I suppose I should have said a serial port that complies with RS-232.

Sorry, just thought [that while correct] it was funny to call a serial (clunky, legacy) port on a PC -> RS-232 (high-end A/V feature).

Is there some new feature called “RS-232” on A/V equipment these days, or is it just the same clunky, legacy port found on PC’s that’s now new and exciting because you can use it to control your A/V gear?

The latter. It’s been in the higher-priced A/V equipment for a while now and mostly been used by custom installers. Denon is bringing the feature into some of its middle tier receivers this year.
