Audio Features
9-Channel Amplifier: The Denon AVR-4311CI features nine
discrete amplifier channels, supplying 140 watts RMS per channel (measured 20
Hz-20 kHz into 8Ω at 0.05% THD). The nine amplifier channels can be used
in several different configurations to accommodate your home theater setup:
- Normal: 7.2 or 9.2 channel output; the surround back,
front height, and front wide speakers are switched automatically based on
the surround mode or input signal
- Zone2: 7.2 channel surround plus stereo speakers are
powered in Zone2; the terminals used for the Zone2 speakers are assigned in
the menu; front height, front wide, or surround back
- Zone2/3: 5.1 channel surround plus stereo speakers are
powered in Zone2 and Zone3; Zone2 speakers are connected to the surround
back terminals and Zone3 speakers are connected to the front wide terminals
- Zone2/3-Mono: 7.1 channel surround plus single mono
speakers are powered in Zone2 and Zone3; the terminals used for the Zone2/3
speakers are assigned in the menu; front height, front wide, or surround
back
- Bi-Amp: 7.1 channel surround and four amplifier
channels are assigned to power the front left and right speakers (they must
have bi-amp terminals); the terminals used to bi-amp the front speakers are
assigned in the menu; front height, front wide, or surround back
- 2 CH: different speakers (other than the main surround
system) are powered when the Direct or Stereo mode is used; the terminals
used for the extra speakers is assigned in the menu; front height, front
wide, or surround back
- 2 CH Bi-Amp: different speakers (other than the main
surround system) are bi-amped when the Direct or Stereo mode is used; the
front height and front wide terminals are used for the extra speakers
- Front B: a second pair of front speakers can be powered
simultaneously with the A front speakers (A, B, or A+B); the terminals used
for the B speakers are assigned in the menu; front height, front wide, or
surround back
- 11 CH: 11.2 channels in the main room, nine powered by
the internal amplifiers; the speakers powered by the external amp assigned
in the menu; front or front height
- Pre Amp: all the speakers in the main room are powered
by external amplifiers; speakers in Zone2 and Zone3 can be powered by the
internal amplifiers in this setting
D/A Converters: The AVR-4311CI uses Analog Devices AKM
Semiconductor AK4358B 192 kHz/24-bit digital to analog converters. The 192
kHz sampling and 24-bit word length capabilities of the DACs allows you to
play high-resolution recordings and hear the increased clarity, detail and
dynamic range.
AL24 Processing Plus: Denon's AL24 Processing Plus
technology improves information volume in the time axis region
using high-speed signal detection and processing technology. In addition to
expanding original 16-bit data to 24 bits, AL24 Processing Plus
uses data interpolation or upconverted sampling to achieve
natural interpolation without losing the original data. A digital filter is used
to further expand adaptability and perform optimum filtering calculations for
ringing-free pulse response, pulsive music data and attack sounds. The result is
reproduction of such spatial information as the delicate nuances in your music,
the positions of the performers, and the breadth, height, and depth of the
concert hall. AL24 Processing Plus is conducted for all channels and modes
other than the DSD Direct mode.
DDSC HD (Dynamic Discrete Surround Circuit): The Denon
AVR-4311CI is equipped with DDSC HD-Digital, featuring dual 32-bit floating
point DSP processors. All elements of the surround processor are optimized
by the use of selected high performance and discrete components, particularly
the A/D and D/A converters and the sophisticated DSP surround decoder.
HDCD Decoding: The AVR-4311CI automatically detects and
decodes the digital bitstream from a CD that has been encoded through the
special High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) process. HDCD discs use 20-bit
encoding and other proprietary processing to provide the ultimate in CD
listening.
Audyssey: This receiver is equipped with an automatic setup
and equalization function to achieve the ideal sound field for your room. The
Audyssey MultEQ XT32 function is designed to optimize the sound quality at each
listening position; the included microphone is used to measure test tones at up
to 8 listening positions. This measured data is then analyzed using a program to
improve acoustic characteristics in the listening area. For best results
multiple positions should be measured. The main position is given more weight in
the calculations.
Audyssey Settings:
- MultEQ XT32: The MultEQ XT32 function automatically
determines the number of speakers and optimizes the crossover points, output
levels, delay times, and equalization of all speakers based on speaker
frequency response, speaker location, and room acoustics measurements.
- Dynamic EQ: Audio engineers mix music and movie
soundtracks at reference levels much louder than typical home listening
levels. At lower volumes the human ear perceives sound differently; voices
change, bass dissipates, and the surround effect becomes less enveloping.
Dynamic EQ adjusts the frequency response curve based on volume to maintain
consistent bass output, octave-to-octave balance, and surround impact,
resulting in rich sound at any volume.
- Multiple Subwoofer Calibration: When using
two subwoofers, the level and delay are adjusted individually,
but optimized simultaneously to eliminate phase cancellations
between the two.
- Reference Level Offset: Dynamic EQ is referenced
to the standard film mixing level and makes adjustments to maintain
the sound quality, envelopment, and intelligibility as the volume is
lowered. Three additional offset positions are available, useful when
listening to non film-based sources:
- 0 dB: default; standard film
reference for viewing movies
- 5 dB: classical music or other
content with a very wide dynamic range
- 10 dB: TV viewing or listening
to Jazz music
- 15 dB: pop or rock music
- Dynamic Volume: Dynamic Volume addresses the issue of
commercials that are too loud and movie soundtracks with vast differences
between soft and loud passages; the results are more intelligible dialogue,
loud passages maintain impact, and soft whispers are clearly heard. When the
volume level changes, Dynamic EQ also adjusts the frequency response to
maintain sound quality.
Note: You can also setup your speaker system
manually; adjust speaker configuration (large/small/none), bass
setting (LFE/LFE+Main), low-pass crossover
(80/90/100/110/120/150/200/250Hz), speaker
distance (0-60'), channel level (-12 to +12dB), and high-pass
crossover frequency (40/60/80/90/100/110/120/150/200/250Hz)

The receiver features 11.2-channel pre-amp outputs (standard 7.1 plus a second
subwoofer and front height and front wide channels) for connection to external power amplifiers.
Personal Memory Plus: For each input, the receiver automatically
memorizes the settings for input mode, surround mode, HDMI output mode, MultEQ, Dynamic
EQ, Dynamic Volume, audio delay, etc. When the input source is switched, the settings
last used for that source are automatically recalled. The surround parameters, tone
control settings, and playback levels for the different output channels are memorized
for each surround mode.
Sleep Timer: This function allows you to automatically set the
power to standby after a predetermined amount of time has passed. You can set the
sleep timer from 10 to 120 minutes in 10 minute increments.
Video Features
Noise Shaped Video (NSV): The NSV precision video feature
works in the digital domain to reduce noise in the video signal frequency band
in order to enhance video signal linearity, provide accurate signal representations,
and enhance the picture quality. Noise shaping techniques are combined with dynamic
element matching techniques in order to reduce the matching requirements of DAC
elements by converting the analog mismatch into and out of band noise. This
approach of dynamic element matching and noise shaping has been shown to allow
the use of sigma delta modulation at video data rates. NSV can achieve ultimate
precision with 12-bit fidelity in both digital-to-analog and analog-to-digital
domains.
HDMI ver. 1.4a: This unit has 7 HDMI version 1.4a inputs and
2 HDMI version 1.4a outputs. The HDMI inputs are assignable to different input
sources. The 2 HDMI outputs are parallel so the same video signal is output through
both and both can be used simultaneously. The HDMI jacks support HDCP copyright
protection and are compatible with 30 and 36 bit Deep Color, xvYCC technology,
3D, and ARC.
3D: The AVR-4311CI will pass the 3D signal when connected to
a 3D source (3D Blu-ray player, 3D cable box, etc) and a 3D ready TV.
ARC (Audio Return Channel): This feature allows audio to be
sent from your compatible HDTV to your receiver through the same HDMI cable
already being used to send audio and video to your HDTV. This eliminates the
need for extra cables connected to your television.
Video Converter and Scaler: The AVR-4311CI is equipped with
a flexible video switching system that converts video signals in an effort to
require only one video connection from receiver to TV. The 480i/480p (SD-quality),
720p, and 1080i video signals input as component, composite, or S-video are
converted to HDMI and scaled as high as 1080p resolution (output resolution
set in the menu). Composite and S-video signals are also converted to component
video, and S-video and component (480i only) are converted to composite video.
Note: Video signals input as HDMI must be output via
HDMI, but can be scaled if they're not already 1080p.
Component Video Inputs/Outputs:
The receiver features 3
component video inputs and 1 component video output. The component video
inputs are assignable to different sources.
Picture Adjustments: The receiver allows you to make the
following picture adjustments to incoming video - Contrast, Brightness, Chroma
Level, Hue, DNR, and Enhancer.
On-Screen Display (OSD) With GUI Menus: An OSD with GUI
menus can be displayed on your television for easy system setup. The OSD and GUI
menus are sent through all monitor outputs (composite video, component
video, and HDMI).
Dimmer: The receiver features four
display brightness settings; Bright, Dim, Dark and Off.
Radio Functions
HD Radio Tuner: In addition to receiving standard analog AM
and FM broadcasts, the AVR-4311CI features a built-in HD
Radio tuner. HD Radio stations offer higher sound quality than conventional
FM/AM broadcasts; typically FM HD Radio stations are CD quality while AM HD
Radio sound similar to analog FM stereo. It is also possible to receive data services and
select broadcasts from among up to eight multicast programs. You can store up to 56
radio stations presets (8 stations each in 7 separate banks) and name each
preset with an 8 character ID.
Sirius Satellite Radio Ready:
The AVR-4311CI can be
connected to the optional SiriusConnect home tuner kit (item numbers
607SCH1 or
220SCH2P, sold separately), allowing you to receive Sirius Satellite Radio.
The display shows channel name, number, category, artist, or song title. Sirius
channels are stored as presets and recalled in the same way AM and FM stations
are. A subscription to Sirius Satellite Radio is required.
USB/PC/Network Functions
USB Terminal: A mass storage class or MTP (Media Transfer
Protocol) conforming USB memory device can be connected to the front or rear
panel USB port. WMA (48-192 kbps), MP3 (32-320kbps), WAV, AAC (16-320kbps), FLAC,
and JPEG files are compatible. When a music file includes
album art data, the album art can be displayed on your connected TV while
playing the file. You can also play JPEG still picture files in a slideshow.
Note: You cannot use the front USB port and rear USB
port at the same time; you must select which port you want to use.
iPod Compatibility: The AVR-4311CI is Made for iPod and iPhone
compliant; using a USB to iPod Dock cable plugged into the front panel or rear
panel USB port music can be played directly from an iPod/iPhone, bypassing the
iPod's D/A converter. The iPod is controlled by the receiver's remote and text,
album art, and elapsed time are displayed on the connected video monitor. Video
and still photos (as well as music) can be played from an iPod using an optional
ASD-11RK iPod dock. Using the USB/Dock cable to connect directly, iPod

Custom Integration: The AVR-4311CI carries the CI stamp,
which is Denon's certification to custom installers that the receiver has
advanced connectivity and control features often required for custom home
integration and theater applications using premium control systems. These
features include a RS232C jack for use with whole house control systems, remote
in/out IR command control, and assignable +12 volt triggers:
- RS-232C Port: The AVR-4311CI includes an RS-232C port
for connection to external whole-house control systems, from companies such
as AMX and Crestron.
- Remote Jacks: The receiver has a mini-jack
input and output for use with other compatible Denon components or an
external IR repeater.
- 12V Trigger Outputs: The AVR-4311CI has 2 mini-jack
outputs to send a 12-Volt DC turn-on signal to another component that
accepts a 12V trigger, such as a power amplifier. The conditions under which
each trigger output activates is programmable.
