Denon AVR-2311CI Specifications page 2

State-of-the-art Denon Solutions for
Maximizing Content Quality
• Fully discrete, identical quality and power
for all 7 channels (105 W x 7ch)
To faithfully reproduce the original surround sound, each of
the AVR-2311CI'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-2311CI, you will have a 3D home
theater where you can enjoy high-definition sound and video
on a level you've never experienced before.
• S u p p o r t s H D M I 1 . 4 a w i t h 3 D , A u d i o R e t u r n
Channel, Deep Color, "x.v.Color" , Auto Lipsync
and HDMI control function
When you connect the AVR-2311CI 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-2311CI'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.
• High-definition audio support
The 32 bit floating point DSP chip in the surround decoder
handles the latest audio formats, including Dolby TrueHD and
DTS-HD Master Audio, found on popular Blu-ray titles.
• Dolby Pro Logic IIz
For a broadly wide and stunningly high front soundstage,
the AVR-2311CI is equipped with Dolby Pro Logic IIz process-
ing. By connecting Front Height speakers and using Dolby Pro
Logic IIz playback, you will be able to experience a dramatically
expanded front soundstage.

• High-bit I/P Converter and Scaler up to 1080p
The AVR-2311CI uses a high-performance video up-scaler
to convert SD (standard definition) video material to HD (high
definition) quality. This means that the 480i/480p (SD-quality)
video signals of DVD programs and other material are converted
to the high-quality 1080p signal of HD video, and output to the
HDMI port. The fuzziness in the details of SD video is removed
to produce a clear picture. Now you can enjoy not only your
DVDs but also your VCR tapes and games with much greater
clarity and detail.
• 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, em-
bodying concepts for thorough vibration resistance
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to
thoroughly suppress the adverse influences of vibration on
sound quality. The power transformers, a source of vibration,
have been securely mounted on the highly rigid bottom chassis.
Direct mounting of cast-iron feet to the radiator in near proximity
to each other serves to suppress mutual vibration with the
power transformers and other sources of vibration.
Connectivity & Future-ready Expandability
• 6 x HDMI in / 1 x HDMI out (Repeater)
• Direct play for iPod and iPhone via USB
You can also listen to music files from your iPod by simply
connecting it to the AVR-2311CI's USB port with the USB
cable that came with the iPod. To start play, just press the
iPod Play button on the AVR-2311CI or its remote control
unit. Digital signals from the iPod are transmitted as is to the
AVR-2311CI where they pass through the compressed audio
restorer and are processed by advanced audio circuitry to
produce a clean, high-quality sound.

• Dock connectivity for iPod and network streaming
Network music can be enjoyed via the Denon Networked Con-
trol Dock. (Requires separately-sold ASD-51W or ASD-51N.)
• Power Amp Assign function, for versatility in using
the AVR-2311CI for different purposes
The AVR-2311CI supports up to 7.2 channels (FL/ FR/ C/ SL/
SR/ SBL/ SBR/ SW1/ SW2) for surround playback defined by
the Blu-ray disc format. To enjoy surround playback with the
AVR-2311CI's Dolby Pro Logic IIz, you can reassign the power
amp from the two surround back channels (SBL/SBR) to the
two front high channels (FHL/FHR). Or by assigning the SBL/
SBR power amp to Zone 2, you can enjoy multi-room audio
playback, or to achieve higher-quality sound for 2-channel
stereo playback, you can configure the AVR-2311CI for front
bi-amp operation. These are just some of the ways you can ar-
range the AVR-2311CI's amps to suit various listening styles.
Ease-of-use
• On-Board GUI via HDMI output (up to 1080p)
The AVR-2311CI is equipped with an easy-to-view Graphical
User Interface (GUI) featuring visual menu displays. These
menu displays can also be output to the monitor over HDMI.
