NEW Denon AVR-X1100/2100/3100 IN-Command AV Receivers

[admin]

Denon's got some new IN-Command AV receivers; the AVR-X1100W, AVR-X2100W, and AVR-X3100W which are priced from $499-$999.

Boasting 7.2 channels of audio, HDMI 2.0 compliance, as well as integrated WiFi and Bluetooth antennas, Denon's midrange A/V receiver refresh appears to offer a lot of bang for the buck. Fortunately, it doesn't appear that corners were cut when it comes to sound quality: Audyssey MultEQ XT is on board even for the least costly AVR-X1100W, while the AVR-X3100W steps things up with Audyssey Pro and 7.2 channels of preouts.

Will there be an upgrade to the X4000 soon to support HDMI2.0 I wonder? That's all it's missing for me.

Thanks & updated.

Too bad the X3100 does not have Audyssey XT32 + dual Sub EQ. I guess you'll have to spend a little more for the X4100.

This is good news for those wanting the current X4000, which will have some huge discounts with the newer models release.

I have a Roku3 that has done away with the analog audio output. So can these new Denons send digital audio to zone2?

Looks like the X3100 won't have the capability, judging from the pic of the back panel in the main article. The current X4000 will pass through HDMI to zone 2, though. The original source also has to be connected via HDMI, though. It won't, for example, pass optical to zone 2 over HDMI.

Also, check out the Marantz SR6008 for the same functionality.

It's not to my liking. Apparently, Marantz is rubbing off on them.

Anybody know the release date on the AVR-X3100W? Also, where is the IR receiver located on the front of the unit? I need to put it into our new Entertainment Center (at the bottom behind the glass). The sides would be behind the wood trim.

Two posts from now, I will even be able to post a picture unless this forum software is really really smart.

 

[ckenisell]

Are you ready for it?

Here's that picture you've been waiting for...

Did I miss something, I take it you got rid of your AV8801?

I sold it after it came back form its second trigger repair. A transistor cooked, again.
My dealer also told be that he has had about 5 of the 200 units he sold had trigger problems.

The repair shop called me and asked if I was using the trigger output to charge my Prius.
That did not go over well. After the repair, I tested the AV8801 to make sure it was working and sold it on eBay (with a description of the trigger repair).

So, I programmed the Pronto to use the Oppo BDP-105D as the preamp.
It lacks the volume knob, HDMI inputs, and elegant input switching found in a AVR/Processor but no one in my family is complaining.
The push the button it comes on, the volume works, Netflix works. Everybody is happy so it if aint broke...

anyone have a clue why the center speaker and side speakers go out when in pro logic ii setting to sometimes come back on when turned off and on again? all other audio setting work except when center speaker goes out first in pro logic ii setting. checked wires to center speaker and in back of receiver and it appears fine

thanks in advance
