The 9.2-channel Network AVR-4311CI includes a host of today’s most advanced audio/video features. It is one of the world’s first AV receivers to include Audyssey MultEQ XT 32 Room Correction, with 32 times the resolution quality of the current MultEQ XT system.

With the addition of Audyssey’s new Sub EQ HT, the AVR-4311CI will provide users with the highest level of audio playback quality even in the most demanding of listening environments. Dolby Volume has also been added to help control the often annoying spikes in audio playback from commercials or program changes.

The AVR-4311CI includes seven HDMI inputs and two parallel HDMI outputs, including a single front-panel HDMI input for added convenience. The highest resolution audio decoders are provided, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for the ultimate in audio fidelity. Audyssey DSX and Dolby PLIIz are on board as well, with multiple amplifier setup options to allow for almost any system configuration.

“Pre Amp Mode” for added flexibility and enhanced performance
The AVR-4311CI is the first Denon AV receiver to feature “Pre Amp Mode,” which allows integrators and consumers to configure it as a true pre-amp/processor. The AVR-4311CI features pre-amp outputs that allow users to add external amplifiers.

In this scenario, however, the internal amplifiers would normally still be active, generating heat and consuming power. The AVR-4311CI’s Pre Amp mode solves this problem by disconnecting the external amplifiers from the power supply section, thereby allowing all other operating components to receive the purest power and also eliminating any chance of “noise” from the amplifier section infiltrating and potentially degrading the audio/video paths.
