The Denon AVR4310CI 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver with Networking Capability and 1080p HDMI Connectivity - Includes Network Audio and Photo Streaming
The AVR-4310CI is a 7-channel A/V surround receiver that not only offers DENON LINK 4th and high-bit i/p conversion and scaling along with other acclaimed Denon audio and video technologies, but also lets users enjoy a wide variety of media such as Network Audio and Photo Streaming. The AVR-4310 A/V surround receiver features Advanced Connectivity and an interface that enhances your level of entertainment enjoyment.
A Multi-Channel Experience
Discover a whole new world of multi-channel surround sound with Denon's AVR-4310CI A/V receiver, which is among the first to include Dolby's latest Pro Logic IIz decoder, which provides for front height channels to dramatically expand the front channels' soundstage. The highest resolution audio decoders are provided, including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio for the ultimate in audio fidelity. Audyssey's newest technology, Dynamic Surround Expansion, provides a more enveloping soundstage by deriving front height or front wide width channels for the most immersive surround sound experience.
Analog and digital video sources are upconverted via Anchor Bay VRS processing to HD quality (up to 1080p/24/60), and the AVR-4310CI features no less than six HDMI inputs along with two parallel HDMI outputs. The Audyssey MultEQ XT room acoustic correction system features a supplied microphone that measures and corrects speaker/room response for up to eight measurement points, and the Dynamic Volume and Dynamic EQ systems provide rich, extended response at any volume level with no annoying volume jumps during commercials. With XM and Sirius satellite radio options, the AVR-4310CI also features built-in HD Radio for dramatically improved fidelity.
HDMI Clock Control via DENON LINK 4th
DENONLINK is proprietary high-quality digital audio transmission technology that uses a real-time balanced transmission system to protect the signal from external noise. With the more advanced Denon Link 4th used in an HDMI connection, for HD audio read from Blu-ray disc as well, the master clock that operates the D/A converter of the A/V surround receiver is transmitted to the player, enabling the circuitry to be operated while sharing the same clock in order to achieve digital audio transmission with negligible jitter. Sound localization becomes more precise and a greater sense of space is produced in the sound images. When combined with a Denon Blu-ray player that supports Denon Link 4th, users will be able to enjoy the highest level of sonic quality that is expected from HD audio.
Clock Jitter Reducer Available for All Digital Inputs
The Clock Jitter Reducer thoroughly suppresses fluctuations on the clock waveform to remove distortion from the digital audio signal and minimize adverse influences on sound quality.
Audyssey DSX Processing
Audyssey DSX extends 5.1-channel and 7.1-channel sound sources to a wider and higher dimension. A sound that is wider to the left and right is achieved by adding a sound source (LW/RW) that is wider than the usual placement of the front (FL/FR) speakers, and a greater sense of height in sound space is achieved by adding a sound source (LH/RH) in the upper area between the FL(FR) and LW(RW) channels.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Processing
Dolby Pro Logic IIz is surround technology that adds front height channel sound sources above the front left and right speakers to enable 7.1-channel playback for 5.1-channel program sources or 9.1-channel playback for 7.1-channel sources such as Blu-ray. Since the dimensions of height is being added to the conventional surround sound, you can experience sound movements above you while watching movies or playing games. With music, the sound space of a concert hall is more realistically reproduced.
USD Digital Direct Connection of iPod (audio only)
The AVR-4310CI has USB ports for digital audio input from an iPod to let you enjoy music in high-quality sound made possible by acclaimed Denon audio technologies such as DDSC-HD and the combination of AL24 Processing and high-performance D/A converters. You can also operate the system while viewing information from the iPod, including music information, on the TV screen through the AVR-4310's GUI fuction. Simply use the USB cable that comes with your iPod to connect to the AVR-4310CI.
Direct Mechanical Ground Construction
Vibration-resistant construction has been reviewed to thoroughly suppress the adverse influence 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.
Advanced GUI Superimposed on HDMI (up to 1080p)
The AVR-4310CI is equipped with an easy-to-view Graphical User Interface (GUI) featuring visual menu displays and hierarchical directories. The hierarchical directory displays let you easily see where you are and what settings you want to make. Operation has been simplified as well. These menu displays can also be output to the TV monitor over HDMI.
