I have the AVR-4311CI and it is amazing! Run as fast as you can to get one before they are sold out. Magnolia Hi-Fi has a 4 month wait on them from Denon. All sold out they told me. Had a Denon AVR-5802 and it kills the 5802 in sound in DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, multichannel stereo, virtual, II and IIZ True 3-D and everything else. There are too many new sounds to mention. It's about the size of the 5200 but about 2 inchs less height. I was blown away by the sounds I never heard in previous movies I had watched. Ordered it at Best Buy (Magnolia Hi Fi) paid 1999.00 for it. Paid 5500.00 for 5802 and this thing kills the 5802. Looked at Marantz but I am super glad I bought the 4311CI. Nothing better on the market in this price range. This is the reiever for the next 4 to 5 years. Running a Panasonic Plasma 65 inch 3D TV and the new Panasonic BD 100-7 (700) series and the new Direct TV 3d Sat Box DVR-21. Just came out. The Direct TV 3d will blow you away. The 3D comes out 12 to 17 feet out of the TV in 1080P with the sensor #D glasses. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Your body reacts to things thown out of the TV at you. Like moving you head or body the oppisite way. Running all M&K Speakers and M&K Satellites and M&K 18 inch Powered Sub Woofer. Watched the Miami and Crimsome game the other day in 3D by ESPN (Amazing) I felt like I was on the field and the players were in my living room. Running all Monster THX 1000 17.6 Gig cables for true 3D at the max. Take my advice get this AVR.
My question is on HDMI (1) from TV straight to Sat box so my wife can watch TV easily. HDMI (2) TV straight to Blue ray 3-D. My problem is I cannot plug any HDMI out put from Sat Cable box to the Denon because it only has one output HDMI on the box. The same with the 3D Blue ray player, only one HDMI out going to the TV. I am using a Digital optical from Blue ray into Optical in port on Denon and another optical cable from Sat box to the Denon. Am I loosing anything like 3d sound or true 3d or Plz 1 and 2 by using optical cable insead of findin another HDMI out port that I don't have on the Sat or Bluray Box?? I am thinking about running another HDMI (3) on TV in to the Denon out. Will I notice a difference? Should I just run another optical cable into the Denon from the optical in on the TV back? Also is Optical better than Coxial Digital. Please help me. I need to know as soon as possible because I want to go Magnolia Hi Fi and get all the cables I need.
Thank You
