AVR-4310 vs AVR-4810: are te features on the 4810 worth the extra money?
220885
I just compared the two via Denon's site. Unless you plan on setting up multiple speaker setups, then there's really no point to getting the 4810. Everything else is the same except for the zone outputs (7.1 compared to 9.3) and the 4810 has 140 watts per channel while the 4310 has 130 watts per channel. If you're getting a receiver just for a single room and one set of speakers, then go for the 4310.

I'm not familiar with the features of the AVR-4311ci, but this particular AVR-4520CI is set up with a DBT-3313UDCI media player and a Panasonic PT-AE8000U projector in a dedicated theater in a 7.2 with a zone 2 and zone 3 configuration. The Audyssey MultEQ XT32 on this AVR-4520CI supports up to 9.2 channels for surround playback. I believe Denon would be able to answer you question about 11.2.

The ATV1200 is a larger model with more ports. Both models have the same processing speed.

I've got a Denon AVR-1613 Integrated Network AV Receiver and love it. Damn thing's smarter than I am and it took several calls to both Denon and the dealer before I got it all set up. Partly my fault cause I didn't have all HDMI equipment at first so some manual settings were required. If you have all HDMI, the thing sets itself up beautifully. Don't remember exactly what I paid for it (at ABT Electronics) but they had it on sale ($400-$500 range). Love the speakers too, good luck.

I currently use a Denon AVR 4311CI. It manages 140 W at 8 Ohms or 170 at 6 Ohms on 9 or 11 channels. The sound results precise and musical, the volume level can rise very high without loss of clarity and precision.

I'm in the same boat. I'm trying to decide between the 7411 & the 5914. I've seen the reviews, both seem to be good. It's my assumption that the 7411 is a newer model and it's only $20 more. Is it worth the extra or will the 5914 be just as good?

I purchsed the 663 this spring and couldn't be happier (although it took a while to maximize settings when hooking up a PS3, PS2, Wii, tape deck, DVD, & CD player and programming the settings- you can customize each input. Between HDMI, component video, opitcal audio, and plain old RCA jacks, I almost pulled my teech out). I believe the 861 has a third HDMI input and slightly more power. I would recommend checking CNET and AVS Forum for detailed reviews. I'm using older 8 Polk RM 2000 surround speakers, 1 Polk RM2500 center speaker and 2 Polk PSW300 subwoofers. They may almost be antiques, but it sounds great.

Thanks Mastercard. I'm not sure what an AVR is, as this is my first foray in using an appliance with a different voltage requirement to what we have here in Australia. I should correct my post by pointing out the step down transformer is actually for 240v>110v. The Onkyo TX-NR609 retails for A$1000+ here and our dollar is worth around 105 US cents. So despite the voltage inconvenience, I'm well ahead on the deal. I do wonder however as to what the idle power consumption of the transformer will be.

hey all saw your post about the Denon AVR4310CI and thought I would let you all know electronics expo has a very good deal on this receiver. They are selling it for an unbelievable $1263.50 using coupon code WS901X8108. Check it out!

From my research, the 4660 calculates your power consumption in dollars and cents, hourly, Daily, monthly and yearly. It also has a batery backup so that if the outlet loses power it remembers the data and continues reading when it is powered back on.The 4400 displays usage in Killowatt hours, so with the info, your electrical bill and a calculator you can figure out the cost, assuming you can do math. Now there are 3 kinds of people in the world. Those who can do math and those who can't. Since I am in the latter category, I just purchased the 4460. Worth the extra $15 IMHO.

I went with the E3200 I got for 99 bucks on Ebay. Its real close to this one minus a few features. I love it !

Sorry, but I do not know of any version Just the model number -- The Tescun PL880. I am very satisfied with it, especially when I put a 100' wire on it. SW & FM are great, but AM in this area is very noisy, and only the local stations can be heard. Good luck, tony W8KQM@AOL.COM

It depends on your needs. I have an integrated amp and wanted to add streaming services and an external DAC. This was ideal. However, the functionality is available in most newer AVRs. In my case, where I was looking for an exceptional 2.1 audio experience with Pandora and AirPlay, it was worth every nickel.

I have used a Denon which is great but I since have upgraded (needed HDMI )to Onkyo and I like the sound that the Onkyo delivers a little better. I used the same polk speakers for both AVR'sThe Onkyo seems a little more bright which I like....sounds more crisp but some people don't like that crisp sound.Both brands are work horses so you can't go bad with either. Onkyo's much higherend Integra is nice also.So

9600 is new model. I don't think there is much difference. You would have to go through every spec to see if there is any. I would start with the pioneer website. I love my 9500 I wouldn't change anything about it. If the price is close obviously go with the new one.

I am currently using an SVS SB13-Ultra and I have had no issues with it. This is a great AVR.
