AVR-3311CI

AV Surround Receiver

Network A/V Receiver with 3D Video, Web Audio & Photos, Multi-Room, Multi-Source
With wired LAN connectivity, the AVR-3311CI can connect to your home network and reach out to the internet to enjoy music from subscription services including Rhapsody and Napster, as well as internet radio via Pandora and picture viewing via flickr. It's also DLNA certified, so you can enjoy music, videos and pictures stored on your multimedia PC. Packed with the latest high resolution audio decoders including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, the AVR-3311CI also features the latest Audyssey DSX processing, which provides a dramatically expanded front soundstage via front height or width channels. You'll also find deluxe features such as HD Radio, and the AVR-3311CI is Sirius satellite radio-ready, plus it has three source/three zone capability.

Others

Lower power consumption at stand-by 0.1 W (Standby)
Fully discrete, identical quality and power for all 7 channels (125 W x 7ch)
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each of the AVR-3311CIs 7 channels is equipped with the same power amp of equal power. Since these power amps also use discrete circuits configured with parts strictly selected for their contribution to high sound quality, rather than with low-cost integrated circuits (ICs), the surround sound playback is of impeccably high quality.

Audyssey DSX processing

Audyssey DSX extends 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel sound sources to a wider and higher dimension. Featuring the latest precision DSP processing algorithms, Audyssey DSX creates additional front height or front width channels, for a dramatically expanded front soundstage.
Play button on the AVR-3311CI or its remote control unit. Digital signals from the iPod are transmitted as is to the AVR-3311CI where they pass through Denon's exclusive Compressed Audio Restorer and are processed by advanced audio circuitry to produce a clean, high-quality sound with improved treble detail.
High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p
- Multi cadence detection for SD and HD video signals The AVR-3311CI uses a high-performance video scaler to convert SD (standard definition) video to HD (high definition) quality.
HD Radio provides dramatically improved fidelity Sirius satellite radio ready Power Amp Assign function, that allows multiple amp and speaker configurations

Ease-of-use

Featuring 3D pass-through technology
By connecting a 3D-compliant Blue-ray disc player and 3Dcompliant TV to the AVR-3311CI, you will have a 3D home theater where you can enjoy high-definition sound and video on a level youve never experienced before.
Minimum Signal Path for clear audio and video signal
The simple and straight design concept has been thoroughly implemented in the signal paths to contribute to immaculately clean audio and video playback. Signal paths are as short as possible to keep signal degradation in the audio and video circuitry to an absolute minimum

On-Board GUI via HDMI output (up to 1080p)
The AVR-3311CI is equipped with an easy-to-view Graphical User Interface (GUI) featuring visual menu displays. These menu displays can also be output to the HDTV over HDMI cable.
S u p p o r t s H D M I 1. 4 a w i t h 3 D, Au d i o R e t u r n Channel, Deep Color, x.v.Color , Auto Lipsync and HDMI control function
When you connect the AVR-3311CI to a TV with a single HDMI cable, it supports Audio Return Channel (ARC)(*1) that can play back the TV audio in surround sound. Until now, if you wanted to enjoy surround sound from a TV, you needed to use an optical digital cable or coaxial digital cable to bring sound from the TV to the A/V receiver. The AVR-3311CIs ARC feature, however, helps you keep cable connections neat and out of the way as you build your home theater.
*1: The TV must also support ARC.
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embodying concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction includes design features such as securely mounting the power transformers, a source of vibration. to the highly rigid bottom chassis. Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity to each other serves to additonally suppress mutual vibration with the power transformers and other sources of vibration. By controlling all aspecs of component vibrations, the rigid chassis provides for greater audio fidelity and freedom from vibration-induced extraneous noise, on par of that normally associated with much more costly separate components.
