Denon AVR-2311CI is GREAT!!!
By Joe
From the initial Power-Up to now the receiver has worked flawlessly.
It replaced a Denon AVR-3806 because it has 3D capabilities and many
more HDMI inputs available. We recently got a Panasonic VT25 HDTV set
which has these features so we needed a *newer* Receiver. I was going to
order the Pioneer VSX-32 but saw too many problems (power-down probs)
on the Oppo-93 Forum. One thing the Denon has (which works very well, I
might add) is the HD radio tuner. We're in the Washington, D.C. area and
can receive many of them. Very nice and at no extra cost. All-in-all, a
very good purchase.

Excellent sound, iPod support and easy set up
By R. M. Wheeler
Right after the warranty expired on my Onkyo TX-SR606 the HDMI ports
starting acting flaky. After some research I found that this
receiver did have some issues with the HDMI processing board. Instead
of sending it off for service, I decided to get a new AV receiver and
started the process of narrowing my choices down. As you know since
you're reading this, the task can be daunting to say the least. You
can read dozens of favorable reviews on certain receivers and then read a
few bad ones and you're off in search of the next "perfect" receiver.
Also, at this point in the year we are just months away from the 2011
models so then you wonder what you're going to miss out on if you don't
wait. I decided to not concentrate on every single specification but on
what is most important for any av receiver: SOUND!!! Next I wanted
iPod connectivity and finally reliability since my other receiver lasted
a little over two years. The problem with choosing a receiver based on
its sound quality is that this subjective and can mean a lot of
different things to a lot of different people. I listen to a lot of
music and well as enjoying Blue Ray movies for their clarity and digital
sound so I wanted a receiver that could handle both well. As I was
researching the thing that kept cropping up about the Denon receivers
was their excellent sound. I still use my 15 year old Denon receiver on
the back porch and have always liked their products so Denon was
definitely at the top of my list. I narrowed it down to the Pioneer
VSX-1120-K and the Denon AVR-2311CI. The deciding factors in choosing
the Denon were the reviews that kept saying how good this receiver
processes both the digital video audio as well as music, the USB port
for direct iPod connectivity and the 3 year warranty vs. the 1 year on
the Pioneer (the Pioneer was a slight bit less expensive but by the time
you purchased a 3 year warranty the prices were about the same.) I
have had the Denon now for one week and I couldn't be more pleased! It
worked flawlessly right out of the box and the Audyssey set up was
accomplished without even cracking open the manual (one flaw of the
receiver is the plastic cover that covers the front inputs for a digital
video camera and the Audyssey mic. You press in on it expecting it to
open like a hinged door. Instead it pops completely out). I have
Mirage M490 bookshelves as my fronts and a Polk RM85 surround system
(using 5.1 with no rear since almost no Blue Ray HD audio processes 7.1
channel), a Polk PSW110 powered subwoofer and a Panasonic DMP-BD55
Blueray. My TV is a Samsung LN52A630. The first Blueray disk I tested
was The Lord of the RIngs The Fellowship of the Rings and I must say I
was blown away!!!! My Onkyo sounded good but the overall sound quality
of the Denon was unmistakable!! I was hearing things I had not heard
before and the surround separation was superb. When I plugged in my
iPod I was disappointed in the sound so I know I had some adjusting to
do so I grabbed the manual. Some reviews of this receiver indicated
that you had to be a true Audiophile to accomplish some of the more
nuanced features of the receiver and this is true to an extent. If I
had not had previous experience with my Onkyo some of the setting would
have been difficult. The manual assumes a lot in my opinion but in
many respects it is very thorough which is a good thing. Believe it or
not, the most complicated task was getting the remote set up for it to
control all my other components. The only component I couldn't get it
to control was my PS3. Other than that, I now have only one remote (it
easily set up to control my Disk Network DVR)!!! The remote could use
some updating as the buttons are small and not intuitive in many cases
(e.g. you press the "Standard" button to switch between the different
Dolby Digital outputs). One plus on the remote are the three Quick
Select buttons that you can easily set up to access your TV, Cable/Sat
and Dock with the touch of a button. There are separate surround modes
for video and music output which, when set up, makes the music come
alive!! In the music mode, you can adjust the surround depth "forwards
and backward" the sound coming from the center out towards the fronts
left and right to give a more full sound for music. There are also
treble and bass adjustments under "Tone". Once I got this set up the
music from the iPod was exceptional!!!! The Graphical User Interface is
very good and easy to use. When the iPod is attached, you can navigate
all the menus on the iPod on TV screen using the remote. Other
functions such as switching from surround video to music are easily
accomplished. Video upscaling to 1080 is excellent as well. The
display on the receiver gives you all the information you need.
Overall I couldn't be any happier with this receiver and the sound
it is producing and its overall look and performance. I highly
recommend!

Denon AVR-2311CI Produces Sweet Music
By Altaf H. Lookmanjee
AVR-2311CI was replacement for my 10 year old Kenwood AVR. I
compared this unit to Onkyo 708 and Pioneer 1120 and all of them would
be a good choice and less expensive, but what really decided for me was
the music output on Denon's was excellent. Also, it offered 3 year
warranty and Pioneer offers only 1 year.
Since my HDMI input on 5 yr. old Samsung has gone kaput, I can't
truly make a fair evaluation of its highly acclaimed video processor but
with component hook up it does a very admirable job. GUI works even
with component hookup, which is not possible with Onkyo, must use HDMI
out to TV and I think its true of all other brand names.
The HD radio sounds so much better than normal FM radio without even
hooking up to outside antennae. Playing CD on my Sony Changer using
digital toslink cable makes it sound amazingly better than ever before.
Setup was slightly difficult because of my TV's HDMI problem and
it's a complex product and requires reading manual unless you are very
tech savvy or Denon user. Denon's CS was very good in helping me out!
I did get a great deal at Electronic Expo, an authorized Denon web retailer. It was shipped very fast in well packaged box.
If 3D and USB is not a must than last year's models 2310/3310 or
890/990 are available at a very reduced price but make sure they are
authorized Denon seller or warranty may not be honored.
