State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality

• 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-3311CI’s  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.

• Featuring 3D pass-through technology

By connecting a 3D-compliant Blue-ray disc player and 3D-
compliant TV to the AVR-3311CI, you will have a 3D home 
theater where you can enjoy high-definition sound and video 
on a level you’ve never experienced before.

•  Suppor ts  HDMI  1.4a  with  3D,  Audio  Return 

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-3311CI’s 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.

•Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit, D.D.S.C.-HD

 - 32-bit floating point high precision DSP processor
 - AL24 Processing Plus provides improved fidelity and clarity
 - High-precision 24 bit/192 kHz  D/A converters

• Clock jitter reduction on all digital inputs

• High-definition audio support, with Dolby TrueHD 

and DTS-HD Master Audio, high resolution audio for-
mats found on many Blu-ray titles

• 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 ad-
ditional front height or front width channels, for a dramatically 
expanded front soundstage.

• 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. 

• 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

• Direct Mechanical Ground Construction, embody

-

ing 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 trans-
formers 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.

Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability

• 6 x HDMI in / 2 x HDMI out (Repeater)

• 

Selectable 

Dual HDMI outputs 

allowing for easy

switching between

or

 flat panel HDTV

s.

• Direct play for iPod and iPhone via USB

You can also listen to music files from your iPod by simply con-
necting it to the AVR-3311CI’s front panel USB port with the USB 
cable that came with the iPod. To start play, just press the iPod 

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 pro-

duce a clean, high-quality sound with improved treble detail.

• HD Radio provides dramatically improved fidelity
• Sirius satellite radio ready
• Power Amp Assign function, that allows multiple 

amp and speaker configurations

Ease-of-use

• 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.
