Denon AVR-4311CI AirPlay Receiver First Look

So, what do you want in a receiver? What do you need? More importantly, what do you think you'll need a year from now? Two years? Three? Are you interested in the latest protocols, like Apple's new iTunes AirPlay? If you are only shucking out $200,...

What do you want out of a receiver? Do you want power? Video upconversion? Networking and streaming? 9.2 decoding and amplification with the ability to expand to 11.2? Do you want it all plus the ability to shutdown the internal amps to use your...

Denon AVR-4311CI AirPlay Receiver Preview

Power, new Audyssey MultEQ XT 32, networking, Pre-amp mode, 9.2 channels... the Denon AVR-4311CI has it all. All for the same price as last generation's model.

Denon AVR-4311 review

There's much to admire in Denon's AVR-4311 amplifier, including great functionality, but it lacks the balance of the best

Great functionality and flexibility ; big and bold with multichannel audio ; richly informative midrange

Bombastic low frequencies make for a rather lopsided sound

Lots for consumers to admire and rivals to envy, but lacks the balance of the very best

Denon AVR-4311 review

Denon's AVR-4311 is the first serious AV receiver to feature Apple's AirPlay media streaming technology. The latter was part of Apple's iOS 4.2 launch last November and is essentially a new version of AirTunes for Apple's AirPort Express wireless...

Polished sound; fabulous networking features including Airplay; nine powerful channels of amplification

Manual EQ required to elicit the very best sound; lacking those last two amplification channels for 11.2

Great receiver but crummy shipment

I have owned tons of audio gear dating back nearly 50 years including some extremely high end stuff. This is a very nice all-in-one box which does just about everything very well. The user interface is not particularly well organized, the menu overlays...

Great receiver with vast set of features ; Powerful amps ; Pretty cool iPhone app control ; Free Airplay upgrade ; Lots of nice Internet and USB sources

Newegg shipment method was an absolute disgrace. The receiver was not shipped in an outer box, only the product box itself. UPS left it on a stair case outdoors in the puring rain with no plastic, no covering, and did not bother to even ring the...

4311

Previous reviewer hit it right on the head. The 4311 is simply one of the best AVRs on the market. I am currently running 9.1 (FH and rears. not wides) and am loving it!!! My usage is 50/40/10 TV+movies/music/gaming. Most of my first few weeks with...

Ability to customize up to 9.2 native channels (11.2 if running a pre-out) ; Audyssey MultEQ XT32 gives room correction capability with an included mic and fairly intuitive setup feature (more on this later) ; More audio pre-set modes than I know what...

May be overkill to the general enthusiast. By this I mean that unless you are specifically wanting to run 9 channels or more, 7+2 or 5+2+2 you are probably barking up the wrong tree ; It also exposes weaknesses in speakers and/or requires higher than...

One Very Nice AVR

Debated long and hard whether to buy the Denon AVR-3312CI or the AVR-4311CI. Just NO Comparison, the 4311 sound quality SQ is much better, and XT32 w/dual sub EQ is phenomenal, plus being able to get 184W/Ch. for two ch. stereo is what it can do with...

Good Remote Control, Accurate Controls, Great Sound Quality, Easy To Setup, Good Power Output, Energy Efficient
