It adds along a myriad of advanced functionalities, including advanced networking via Ethernet, Mac/PC content streaming, Internet Radio, Pandora, Flickr, web browsing, and supposedly even more. Like its inferior counterparts, the unit is iPod compatible and includes analog to HDMI conversion, HD audio decoding from Dolby and dts, and 12-bit video processing/scaling from Anchor Bay Technologies (ABT).

#denon_avr_991 I really wish I knew if this had a "phono" input for my turntable. I know the 891 doesn't but the old 990 did. I really don't want to have to get a pre-amp if no new receivers are going to have a "phono" input. If it doesn't then maybe the AVR-3311CI will. Here's to hoping.
