 It's a Denon, what more can you say. May 29, 2010
D. Mohammed (Doral, Fl)
OMG ! OMG ! Wow!!, this bad boy packs a punch with both video and audio. Upconversion is fantastic due to anchor bay chip. HQ Renon doesn't have anything on this. I've been comparing receivers for a while now, narrowing it down to Denon and Yamaha. Both are pretty well built, but the Denon has more bang and features over the yammie. For the price you get what you paid for....excellence. I saw that owners had problems with updates, well out of the box this things rocks. Denon will eventually smooth out the bugs and then I will problably update.but if it isn't broke why fix? I paired this with Kef's 2005.3 surround speaker package........marvelous. I can throw a street party with the sound. I wanted to try the mirage nanostats, but the sub only offered 75 watts RMS, the kef sub is 1) Class D 2) 200watts Rms = 800watts peak.....seriously i think this thing is UNDER RATED !!!!. This thing deserves 6 stars.
 Terrible customer service April 2, 2010

I sent Denon customer service two emails, for two separate issues. They didn't reply to either of them. One of the problems I have is that the second HDMI output port doesn't work. The primary output port, i.e. the TV, works fine, otherwise I would send the unit back. If I had do it over, a) I wouldn't buy from Denon, and b) I would buy the 9 channel model, not 7 channel model. I thought 7.1 would be sufficient, but I've used all 7 channels and could do with two more for the rear surrounds. I.e. I have 1) front left, 2) front right, 3) center, 4) surround left, 5) surround right, 6) front height left, 7) front height right. Of course, I am missing rear left and rear right. If you haven't heard of 'front height', look into it, the difference is quite noticeable. A few more comments: Sound quality is generally good. The unit gets very hot, we have to leave the cabinet door open even though the cabinet is vented at the back. The user manual isn't written for the novice (and believe me, you need the user manual), and the remote control is hard to work. I would avoid this model, and Denon in general.
Awesome Receiver somewhat complicated to setup March 18, 2010

I have had the Denon 4310 for 3 weeks. I'm extremely satisfied with its options and sound quality. Beware if you are not really into fooling around with electronic setups. I'm very experienced with home theater equipment and it took me several days to really set it up right after wading through the user manual. The only problem I had with this product is the instructions which are unnecessarily complicated. To actually do the setup is easy, but getting the info from the manual on how to do it is very time consuming.
 video artifacts March 13, 2010

I purchased an AVR-4310CI primarily for its HDMI capabilities. I was used to Yamaha receivers, but thought I would venture out to Denon since their 4310 had more features associated with the video aspect of the AVR. If I only cared about sound, I wouldn't be buying an AVR. I wanted to be able to run audio and video through one cable (HDMI), to one device in the audio cabinet, and have one cable coming out to my TV. Unfortunately I have discovered that in certain color situations, like large flesh or earth tones, I get green pixelation in the highlights. The most obvious situation is when watching basketball, and the glare off of the court, or even the reflection of a player on the gloss floor at the right angle will be green. Not just a green hue, but obviously opaque green pixels - as if you froze the picture, imported it into Paint, and started painting over those areas with green using a big blocky pen setting. I have tried changing almost every setting I can find, and nothing has helped other than turning Chroma all the way down. Sorry, but that results in my TV being very bland. Why do I have a 58 inch plasma if I have to reduce the vibrancy to that of a near death CRT?
Other than that, I do love the ease of use, the menu guides, and yes, the sound. Sound experience is subjective, but I am more of a rounded sound fan, and Denon appears to be more consistent across all the lows, mids, and highs. I also like the styling of the component. Seriously, Yamaha hasn't done anything new with their presentation aspect other than finally changing from orange to a kind of blue display. I do like Yamaha, and will honestly probably try their receiver next if Denon can't come up with a solution for the green issue.
Good luck finding a store that will demonstrate the actual video passthrough capabilities of the receiver since most stores have those external switching systems so they can pair up every different system. Make them pull it out and hook it up directly so you can truly see what is happening when the video is processes or passed through the AV receiver.
It is a Denon, consistant sound quality from product-to-product October 21, 2009

This is to share my experience with a new 4310CI for a week:
PRICE - I just upgraded to this 4310CI from an old Denon AVR3801 which has 7x110W. From all the articles I've read which indicated 4310CI is more likely an upgrade of the 3808CI instead of 4308CI, and price was raised form the 1699 for 3808CI to the 1999 MSRP. However, I had the 4310 for 1248 ([...].) I paid ~800 for the 3801 in 2001. I think 1248 for the 4310CI is alright as of this time.
AUDIO - 1) In stereo mode, I cannot tell of an improvement immediately over the old 3801. However, 4310CI's HD radio locks in more stations (with the 4310CI, signal dropout completely if signal quality is poor) and offers pleasant radio listening experience. I don't have XM and Sirius satellite; therefore, I cannot share any experience for those. 2) In AV mode, 4310CI does differently sensationally and somehow better than 3801; however, 3801 is doing great basic 5.1 decoding, IMO. No need to upgrade to 4310CI just for this if I am not looking for HDMI connections. 3) The internet radio is cool, and sound quality is not bad. However, it froze on me a few times thus far; power cycle brought it right back.
VIDEO - 1) no HDMI handshake issue so far with my LN52A750, and 1080P really does significantly better job than 1080i via component cables with my old 3801. 2) ABT-2010 does a super job up-scaling my DVD's 480i and 480p output. IMO, it does the best up-scaling job (very SMOOTH, although yet Bluray quality) while PS3 does good job and LN52A750 does poorly. This alone would make 4310CI a good buy if you don't have a higher end DVD or Bluray player.
OTHER - 4310CI gets kind of hot. My 3808 is running cool to touch from the top, no heat at all. I was concerned about the heat when I first had the 4310CI all connected and ran for just about 15 minutes in -30db. Don't know if this normal; however, user manual does say it would get hot and it needs room for ventilation.
It is somewhat expensive; however, I'd recommend this 4310CI for the price I paid for.
UPDATE:
I think my 4310CI ran hot was due to vedio processing from up-scaling 480p DVD input. I checked again yesterday while I was watching 1080i input from DirecTV, it stayed warm although not cool but not hot.
Audio signal comes right in at power-up and dropout while syncing with video via HDMI. Video wouldn't show on TV at least for the first 3-5 seconds. This only happens at start-up, have not run into a similar situation while watching DirecTV, DVD, or with a PS3.
