Denon AVR-3311CI

The AVR-3311CI is Denon's mid-priced offering in their line of A/V receivers. The high-quality surround sound decoders (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio) that are a fixture of Denon's A/V receivers are present here, though the AVR-3311CI has Audyssey's DSX surround processor instead of the Dolby ProLogicIIz processor that its cousin the AVR-2311CI has.

The automatic room acoustic correction feature, which utilizes the Audyssey MultiEQ XT system's microphone to tailor the settings for the richest possible surround experience, is standard on Denon's A/V receivers. The Anchor Bay Technologies VRS processor, which upconverts standard definition video sources to HDMI, is also standard in the Denon's line of A/V receivers. The AVR-3311CI is a step up from the AVR-2311CI in that it has ethernet connectivity, Pandora/Flickr access and PC streaming (also included on the AVR-4311CI).
