c44me Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 This receiver offers true multi-zone HDMI A/V distribution with the inclusion of its HDMI matrix switching functionality. It has three HDMI outputs (two parallel and one discrete) so you can connect three HDMI equipped displays. You can send two different HDMI feeds at the same time directly from the receiver so that you won't need external switches or remote control complexitySO - is anyone using it with any success? seems like it would be great solution and negate the need for a matrix switch (finally) in small install?thanks!

wappinghigh Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 This is a very cool idea... And it has a certified IP driver as well..I wonder how that works on the "inbuilt matrix switcher tasks" as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c44me Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 exactly. I'm glad I waited to see the new lineup since I was about to buy the 3312CI. hope someone has some feedback.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyboy Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I like this idea also... We would rarely want more than two sources playing, which appears to be a limitation, but i could use the 3rd hdmi and the single component out to connect upto my required 4 TVs.Can I ask a dumb question of AV experts... I have 5.1 speaker setup and no tendency to run more cables. Can a 7.2 system like this be configured as a 5.1 system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want the extra speaker zone, then don't wire any speaker cable into this last pair... (and set the receiver to 5.1).. At least that is the case for pretty much all these 7.2 receivers these days. As for the subs, not sure. Check the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c44me Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 they are all backwards compatible not many people even have 7.2 yet (or ever will) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use 5 Channels for Zone 1 and the other 2 channels for Zone 2. Unfortunately the subs can't be Zoned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drmark12pa Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I have the 3311 and overall it's decent except 2 MAJOR flaws.... One of them my friend discovered with his 3311 which forced him to go to the 4311.1) at high volumes the 3311 will overheat and shut down. My friend was using Axiom 4 ohm speakers and couldn't push any volume for more than a minute or 2. The 4311 can handle it.2) I have the Epson Pro Cinema 6010 3D projector with 3D. When attempting 3D through the Denon there was significant red artifact making it impossible to use without buying a DVDO unit to filter and boost the signal. Denon was less than helpful saying hook up a shorter HDMI cable (somehow I'm supposed to mount the receiver in the ceiling?!?!!). Customer service was total crap, ignorant, and couldn't understand how their receiver couldn't handle the 3D which now bypasses the Denon and goes straight to the projector.....

CFUG Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I gotta think that the product Q has gone done or the engineering has gotten dumber. I have a handful of 09s and one 10 and these things just take a royal beating and keep on keep'n on. Fortunately, not had to resort to making a phone call to Denon and wouldn't bother frankly.

c44me Posted June 14, 2012 Author Share Posted June 14, 2012 so does anyone from Control4 want to let us know if there is or will be a certified driver? of if it is or has been tested etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
