Premium Audio Technologies for Superb Surround Sound Fully compatible with the latest HD audio formats, the AVR-3311CI provides a powerful, theater-quality surround-sound experience. It ensures maximum audio performance with multiple cutting-edge technologies: Equal Power Amp Design: Each of the receiver's seven 125-watt channels is powered by its own discrete circuit. This allows the receiver to reproduce the original surround sound more faithfully than conventional models, which use integrated circuits. High-Definition Audio Support: The AVR-3311CI features support for the latest Blu-Ray, high-resolution audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. These formats play back sound with exceptional fidelity, providing you with a more realistic listening experience. Dolby Pro Logic IIz and Audyssey DSX: Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides two additional height channels, adding a vertical dimension to your sound. Audyssey DSX supplements this effect by creating additional channels and dramatically expanding the front soundstage. Audyssey MultEQ XT Support: Audyssey technology helps create an optimal acoustic profile for your home theater. Using a microphone, Audyssey MultEQ XT carefully measures the "acoustic layout" of your listening area, and then adjusts the speakers to perform at their best, making for the finest listening environment possible. Full HD Support and Up-Scaling to 1080p With six HDMI inputs, the AVR-3311CI allows you to route multiple high-definition devices--like game consoles and Blu-Ray players--to your TV. The receiver also upscales standard-definition video inputs to a 1080p HD signal. You'll be able to enjoy older media, such as VCR and DVD, in richer detail. It also allows you to connect all of your devices to your TV with a single HDMI cable, reducing cable clutter. Vivid 3D Visuals with HDMI 1.4a The AVR-3311CI comes equipped with HDMI 1.4a, allowing you to make the most of several premium video features: 3D Pass-Through: With the advent of 3D media, it is important to own a receiver that recognizes 3D video signals. The AVR-3311CI is able to pass through 3D signals from your Blu-Ray player, ensuring that the 3D effect doesn't get lost in translation. It also recognizes signals from 3D television broadcasts. Audio Return Channel: HDMI 1.4a also features an Audio Return Channel, which allows both audio and video content to be sent through a single HDMI cable. This eliminates the need for a separate audio cable running from your TV to the receiver--only a single HDMI cable is needed. Deep Color and x.v.Color Support: The AVR-3311CI also supports Deep Color and x.v.Color schemes, which can display a larger color range than standard-definition schemes. The result is a more lifelike, vibrant picture. HD Radio and iPod Connectivity Equipped with an HD Radio, the AVR-3311CI actively converts analog radio signals to digital, greatly improving the clarity of both AM and FM broadcasts. The receiver also features iPod and iPhone Direct Connectivity, allowing you to stream your music via a USB cable. A compressed audio restorer guarantees that MP3 playback is crisp and clear. Ergonomic Design Promotes Easy Control With its programmable functions and intuitive button layout, the AVR-3311CI is designed to maximize ease of use. The front panel is smartly organized, featuring clearly-labeled buttons and onboard controls for volume and source. In addition, its on-screen display provides quick information about your system's settings.

It can also be easily programmed with macro functions, giving you more flexibility in controlling your home theater.

Great receiver, so far By Mikey likes it Having listened to mid-range receivers from most of the major brands, I liked the sound of the Denons the best..a bit warmer than the Onkyos, which is better for music. The Pioneers sounded nice, but lacked Audyssey (using the proprietary MACC instead). Marantz sounded great but aren't as fully featured as comparably priced Denons. I wanted a receiver that's up-to-date with all of the latest surround sound formats and is relatively future proof, since I don't plan to upgrade again for several years. The 3311 seemed to fit the bill perfectly and I'm very happy with my purchase so far. The sound quality is great. I thought that my old Onkyo sounded pretty good, but this surpasses it by far. Audyssey MultiEQ XT does an excellent job at tailoring the equalization to compensate for the acoustical flaws in the room. I've never had a system that sounds so balanced, detailed and immersive. There's plenty of power to drive most speakers (even my inefficient Polk RTiA7's) to their potential. I was initially concerned about the reduced weight of the newer Denon mid-range receivers compared to older models, but this concern seems to be mostly unfounded, as the performance and adequate power speaks for itself. Pre-outs are included to allow for the addition of external amps, if desired. Last year's models apparently suffered from networking problems. Fortunately, these issues seem to have been resolved in the 3311 and the network features have worked flawlessly so far. By the way, the upcoming model AVR-991 is priced $200 lower and is basically the same as the 3311, except it has no pre-outs, a couple less inputs, one less zone and one remote instead of two. To me, this unit (or the 991) is the sweet spot in the new Denon line as far as performance, features and value. It's reasonably priced, being $300 less than last year's 3310, yet has more features and probably better sound, due to the upgrade to the "XT" version of MultiEQ. It'll cost a lot more to step up to the next higher model (4311?) and, based on comments I've read, the difference in sound quality is likely to be marginal at best. The 3311 comes with a 3 year warranty (the AVR-991 warranty is only 2 yrs). Based on my experience with this receiver so far, I'd definitely buy it again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to a friend. Tip: try to get it on sale. I got mine for 25% off list price despite being a newly released model. 32 of 33 people found the following review helpful. DOA Networking still a problem By Jay If you spend some time reading AVSForums you'll learn that last years model (the 3310) was plagued with dead networking cards. It appears that nothing has changed with there year's model. I ordered the 3311 from 6th Ave and they were quick to ship with a good price but after hooking it up I realized my network card was busted. The unit will hang in the "Network Connecting" screen and never acquire an IP address or permit you to manually change any of the network settings. Again, searching thru AVSForums I learned that this was a common problem on the 3310 and a few folks have had this with the 3311. Since the networking features are the primary reason to step up to the 3311 from the 2311, this is a deal breaker. I contacted 6th Ave and so far they have been great about the return. I'm on the fence on whether to try another Denon or try a Pioneer. After my issues, I read up and realized that the Denons have a serious issue with reliability in terms of the network card. Sure they offer a 3 year warranty, but you'll be without your receiver for weeks and have to pay to ship something that weighs 40lbs across the USA. I have the 2310 now, and it's been a reliable receiver but I needed to upgrade to get 3D support. I upgraded one model to get Pandora support and what I thought was digital source support for Zone 2. After having the unit I now
