Dementia Overview
A woman in her early 50s was admitted to a hospital because of increasingly odd behavior. Her family reported that she had been showing memory problems and strong feelings of jealousy. She also had become disoriented at home and was hiding objects. During a doctor's examination, the woman was unable to remember her husband's name, the year, or how long she had been at the hospital. She could read but did not seem to understand what she read, and she stressed the words in an unusual way. She sometimes became agitated and seemed to have hallucinations and irrational fears.Auguste Deter was the first person reported (in 1901) to have the form of dementia now known as Alzheimer's disease. The disease is named after Alois Alzheimer, the German doctor who first described it. Alzheimer's disease is a major cause of dementia. After Auguste Deter died in 1906, doctors examined her brain and found that it appeared shrunken and contained several unusual features; including strange clumps of protein called plaques and tangled fibers inside the nerve cells.
What is Dementia?
Dementia is not a specific disease. It is a descriptive term for a collection of symptoms that can be caused by a number of disorders that affect the brain. People with dementia have significantly impaired intellectual functioning that interferes with normal activities and relationships. They also lose their ability to solve problems and maintain emotional control, and they may experience personality changes and behavioral problems such as agitation, delusions, and hallucinations. While memory loss is a common symptom of dementia, memory loss by itself does not mean that a person has dementia. Doctors diagnose dementia only if two or more brain functions - such as memory, language skills, perception, or cognitive skills including reasoning and judgment - are significantly impaired without loss of consciousness.
What Are the Different Kinds of Dementia?
Dementing disorders can be classified many different ways. These classification schemes attempt to group disorders that have particular features in common, such as whether they are progressive or what parts of the brain are affected. Some frequently used classifications are shown in this chart.Some types of dementia fit into more than one of these classifications. For example, Alzheimer's disease is considered both a progressive and a cortical dementia. There are many disorders that can cause dementia.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in people aged 65 and older. Experts believe that up to 4 million people in the United States are currently living with the disease: one in ten people over the age of 65 and nearly half of those over 85 have Alzheimer's disease. At least 360,000 Americans are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease each year and about 50,000 are reported to die from it. In most people, symptoms of Alzheimer's disease appear after age 60. However, there are some early-onset forms of the disease, usually linked to a specific gene defect, which may appear as early as age 30. Alzheimer's disease usually causes a gradual decline in thinking abilities, usually during a span of 7 to 10 years. Nearly all brain functions, including memory, movement, language, judgment, behavior, and abstract thinking, are eventually affected.
Alzheimer's Disease (continued)
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by two abnormalities in the brain: amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Amyloid plaques, which are found in the tissue between the nerve cells, are unusual clumps of a protein called beta amyloid along with degenerating bits of neurons and other cells. Neurofibrillary tangles are bundles of twisted filaments found within neurons. These tangles are largely made up of a protein called tau. In healthy neurons, the tau protein helps the functioning of microtubules, which are part of the cell's structural support and deliver substances throughout the nerve cell. However, in Alzheimer's disease, tau is changed in a way that causes it to twist into pairs of helical filaments that collect into tangles. When this happens, the microtubules cannot function correctly and they disintegrate. This collapse of the neuron's transport system may impair communication between nerve cells and cause them to die. Researchers do not know if amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are harmful or if they are merely side effects of the disease process that damages neurons and leads to the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. They do know that plaques and tangles usually increase in the brain as Alzheimer's disease progresses.
Alzheimer's Disease (continued)
In the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, patients may experience memory impairment, lapses of judgment, and subtle changes in personality. As the disorder progresses, memory and language problems worsen and patients begin to have difficulty performing activities of daily living, such as balancing a checkbook or remembering to take medications. They may become disoriented about places and times, may suffer delusions (such as the idea that someone is stealing from them or that their spouse is being unfaithful), and may become short-tempered and hostile. During the late stages of the disease, patients begin to lose the ability to control motor functions such as swallowing, or lose bowel and bladder control. They eventually lose the ability to recognize family members and to speak. As the disease progresses it begins to affect the person's emotions and behavior and they develop symptoms such as aggression, agitation, depression, sleeplessness, or delusions. On average, patients with Alzheimer's disease live for 8 to 10 years after they are diagnosed. However, some people live as long as 20 years. Patients with Alzheimer's disease often die of aspiration pneumonia because they lose the ability to swallow late in the course of the disease.
Vascular (Multi-Infarct) Dementia
Vascular dementia is the second most common cause of dementia, after Alzheimer's disease. It accounts for up to 20 % of all dementias and is caused by brain damage from cerebrovascular or cardiovascular problems - usually strokes. It also may result from genetic diseases, endocarditis (infection of a heart valve), or amyloid angiopathy (a process in which amyloid protein builds up in the brain's blood vessels, sometimes causing hemorrhagic or "bleeding" strokes). In many cases, it may coexist with Alzheimer's disease. Unlike people with Alzheimer's disease, people with vascular dementia often maintain their personality and normal levels of emotional responsiveness until the later stages of the disease. People with vascular dementia frequently wander at night and often have other problems commonly found in people who have had a stroke, including depression and incontinence.
Vascular Dementia (continued)
There are several types of vascular dementia, which vary slightly in their causes and symptoms. One type, called multi-infarct dementia (MID), is caused by numerous small strokes in the brain. Multi-infarct dementia typically includes multiple damaged areas, called infarcts, along with extensive lesions in the white matter, or nerve fibers, of the brain. Although not all strokes cause dementia, in some cases a single stroke can damage the brain enough to cause dementia. This condition is called single-infarct dementia. Dementia is more common when the stroke takes place on the left side (hemisphere) of the brain and/or when it involves the hippocampus, a brain structure important for memory.Other types of vascular dementia include Binswanger's disease and CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarct and leukoencephalopathy).
Lewy Body Dementia (LBD)
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is one of the most common types of progressive dementia. Lewy body dementia usually occurs sporadically, in people with no known family history of the disease. However, rare familial cases have occasionally been reported. In Lewy body dementia, cells die in the brain's cortex (outer layer), and in a part of the mid-brain called the substantia nigra. Many of the remaining nerve cells in the substantia nigra contain abnormal structures called Lewy bodies that are the hallmark of the disease.The symptoms of Lewy body dementia overlap with Alzheimer's disease in many ways, and may include memory impairment, poor judgment, and confusion. However, Lewy body dementia typically also includes visual hallucinations, parkinsonian symptoms such as a shuffling gait (walk) and flexed posture, and day-to-day fluctuations in the severity of symptoms. Patients with Lewy body dementia live an average of 7 years after symptoms begin. There is no cure for Lewy body dementia, and treatments are aimed at controlling the parkinsonian and psychiatric symptoms of the disorder.
Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
Frontotemporal dementia, sometimes called frontal lobe dementia, describes a group of diseases characterized by degeneration of nerve cells - especially those in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Unlike Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia usually does not include formation of amyloid plaques. In many people with frontotemporal dementia, there is an abnormal form of tau protein in the brain, which accumulates into neurofibrillary tangles. This disrupts normal cell activities and may cause the cells to die.Experts believe frontotemporal dementia accounts for 2% to 10% of all cases of dementia. Symptoms of frontotemporal dementia usually appear between the ages of 40 and 65. In many cases, people with frontotemporal dementia have a family history of dementia, suggesting that there is a strong genetic factor in the disease. The duration of frontotemporal dementia varies, with some patients declining rapidly over 2 to 3 years and others showing only minimal changes for many years. People with frontotemporal dementia live with the disease for an average of 5 to 10 years after diagnosis.Because structures found in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain control judgment and social behavior, people with frontotemporal dementia often have problems maintaining normal interactions and following social conventions. They may steal or exhibit impolite and socially inappropriate behavior, and they may neglect their normal responsibilities. Other common symptoms include loss of speech and language, compulsive or repetitive behavior, increased appetite, and motor problems such as stiffness and balance problems. Memory loss also may occur, although it typically appears late in the disease.
HIV-associated Dementia (HAD)
HIV-associated dementia (HAD) results from infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that causes AIDS. HIV-associated dementia can cause widespread destruction of the brain's white matter. This leads to a type of dementia that generally includes impaired memory, apathy, social withdrawal, and difficulty concentrating. People with HIV-associated dementia often develop movement problems as well. There is no specific treatment for HIV-associated dementia, but AIDS drugs can delay onset of the disease and may help to reduce symptoms.
Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease is a hereditary disorder caused by a faulty gene for a protein called huntingtin. The children of people with the disorder have a 50% chance of inheriting it. The disease causes degeneration in many regions of the brain and spinal cord. Symptoms of Huntington's disease usually begin when patients are in their thirties or forties, and the average life expectancy after diagnosis is about 15 years. Cognitive symptoms of Huntington's disease typically begin with mild personality changes, such as irritability, anxiety, and depression, and progress to severe dementia. Many patients also show psychotic behavior. Huntington's disease causes chorea - involuntary jerky, arrhythmic movements of the body - as well as muscle weakness, clumsiness, and gait disturbances.
Dementia Pugilistica
Dementia pugilistica, also called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or Boxer's syndrome, is caused by head trauma, such as that experienced by people who have been punched many times in the head during boxing. The most common symptoms of the condition are dementia and parkinsonism, which can appear many years after the trauma ends. Affected individuals may also develop poor coordination and slurred speech. A single traumatic brain injury may also lead to a disorder called posttraumatic dementia (PTD). Posttraumatic dementia is much like dementia pugilistica but usually also includes long-term memory problems. Other symptoms vary depending on which part of the brain was damaged by the injury.
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD)
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) is a progressive disorder characterized by nerve cell loss and atrophy of multiple areas of the brain. Brain cells from people with corticobasal degeneration often have abnormal accumulations of the protein tau. Corticobasal degeneration usually progresses gradually over the course of 6 to 8 years. Initial symptoms, which typically begin at or around age 60, may first appear on one side of the body but eventually will affect both sides. Some of the symptoms, such as poor coordination and rigidity, are similar to those found in Parkinson's disease. Other symptoms may include memory loss, dementia, visual-spatial problems, apraxia (loss of the ability to make familiar, purposeful movements), hesitant and halting speech, myoclonus (involuntary muscular jerks), and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Death is often caused by pneumonia or other secondary problems such as sepsis (severe bacterial infection of the blood) or pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs).
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare, degenerative, fatal brain disorder that affects about one in every million people per year worldwide. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease belongs to a family of human and animal diseases known as the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). This includes bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), which is found in cows and often referred to as "mad cow" disease. Symptoms usually begin after age 60 and most patients die within 1 year. Many researchers believe Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease results from an abnormal form of a protein called a prion. Most cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease occur sporadically - that is, in people who have no known risk factors for the disease. However, about 5% to 10% of cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in the United States are hereditary, caused by a mutation in the gene for the prion protein. Patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease may initially experience problems with muscular coordination; personality changes, including impaired memory, judgment, and thinking; and impaired vision. Other symptoms may include insomnia and depression. As the illness progresses, mental impairment becomes severe. Patients often develop myoclonus and they may go blind. They eventually lose the ability to move and speak, and go into a coma. Pneumonia and other infections often occur in these patients and can lead to death.
Dementias in Children
While it is usually found in adults, dementia can also occur in children. For example, infections and poisoning can lead to dementia in people of any age. In addition, some disorders unique to children can cause dementia. These include Niemann-Pick disease, Batten disease and Lafora body disease.
What Other Conditions Can Cause Dementia?
Doctors have identified many other conditions that can cause dementia or dementia-like symptoms. Examples of these include:
- reactions or side effects to medications;
- metabolic problems and endocrine abnormalities such as thyroid disease, hypoglycemia, too little (hyponatremia) or too much sodium or calcium (hypercalcemia), or the inability to absorb vitamin B12 (pernicious anemia);
- nutritional deficiencies such as thiamine (vitamin B1), B6, or B12 and severe dehydration;
- infections such as meningitis, encephalitis, untreated syphilis, and Lyme disease;
- subdural hematomas where there is bleeding between the brain's surface and its outer covering (the dura);
- poisoning such as exposure to lead, other heavy metals, alcohol, recreational drugs or other poisonous substances;
- brain tumors;
- anoxia/hypoxia in which there is a diminished supply of oxygen to an organ's tissues, for example heart attack, severe asthma, heart surgery, smoke or carbon monoxide inhalation, or an overdose of anesthesia; and
- heart and chronic lung problems disease that prevents the brain from receiving adequate oxygen, which can starve brain cells.
What Conditions Are Not Dementia?
Age-related cognitive decline. As people age, they usually experience slower information processing and mild memory impairment. In addition, their brains frequently decrease in volume and some nerve cells, or neurons, are lost.
- Mild cognitive impairment. Some people develop cognitive and memory problems that are not severe enough to be diagnosed as dementia but are more pronounced than the cognitive changes associated with normal aging. Although many patients with this condition later develop dementia, some do not.Depression. People with depression are frequently passive or unresponsive, and they may appear slow, confused, or forgetful.
- Delirium. Delirium is characterized by confusion and rapidly altering mental states. The person may also be disoriented, drowsy, or incoherent, and may exhibit personality changes. Delirium is usually caused by a treatable physical or psychiatric illness, such as poisoning or infections. Patients with delirium often, though not always, make a full recovery after their underlying illness is treated.
What Causes Dementia?
All forms of dementia result from the death of nerve cells and/or the loss of communication among these cells. The human brain is a very complex and intricate machine and many factors can interfere with its functioning. Researchers have uncovered many of these factors, but they have not yet been able to fit these puzzle pieces together in order to form a complete picture of how dementias develop.Many types of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, Parkinson's dementia, and Pick's disease, are characterized by abnormal structures called inclusions in the brain. Because these inclusions, which contain abnormal proteins, are so common in people with dementia, researchers suspect that they play a role in the development of symptoms. However, that role is unknown, and in some cases the inclusions may simply be a side effect of the disease process that leads to the dementia.Genes clearly play a role in the development of some kinds of dementia. However, in Alzheimer's disease and many other disorders, the dementia usually cannot be tied to a single abnormal gene. Instead, these forms of dementia appear to result from a complex interaction of genes, lifestyle factors, and other environmental influences.
What Are the Risk Factors for Dementia?
Researchers have identified several risk factors that affect the likelihood of developing one or more kinds of dementia. Some of these factors are modifiable, while others are not.
How Is Dementia Diagnosed?
Doctors employ a number of strategies to diagnose dementia. It is important that they rule out any treatable conditions, such as depression, normal pressure hydrocephalus, or vitamin B12 deficiency, which can cause similar symptoms. "Early, accurate diagnosis of dementia is important for patients and their families because it allows early treatment of symptoms. For people with Alzheimer's disease or other progressive dementias, early diagnosis may allow them to plan for the future while they can still help to make decisions. These people also may benefit from drug treatment.Doctors have devised a number of techniques to help identify dementia with reasonable accuracy such as asking questions about the patient's history, physical examination, neurological evaluations (balance, sensory function, reflexes, etc.), cognitive and neuropsychological tests (memory, language skills, math skills, problems solving, etc.), brain scans (computed tomographic (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), etc.), laboratory tests (blood tests, urinalysis, toxicology screen, thyroid tests, etc.), psychiatric evaluation, and presymptomatic testing (genetic tests).
Is There Any Treatment for Dementia?
While treatments to reverse or halt disease progression are not available for most of the dementias, patients can benefit to some extent from treatment with available medications and other measures, such as cognitive training.Drugs to specifically treat Alzheimer's disease and some other progressive dementias are now available and are prescribed for many patients. Although these drugs do not halt the disease or reverse existing brain damage, they can improve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. This may improve the patient's quality of life, ease the burden on caregivers, and/or delay admission to a nursing home. Many researchers are also examining whether these drugs may be useful for treating other types of dementia.Many people with dementia, particularly those in the early stages, may benefit from practicing tasks designed to improve performance in specific aspects of cognitive functioning. For example, people can sometimes be taught to use memory aids, such as mnemonics, computerized recall devices, or note taking.Behavior modification - rewarding appropriate or positive behavior and ignoring inappropriate behavior - also may help control unacceptable or dangerous behaviors.
Medications for Vascular Dementia
There is no standard drug treatment for vascular dementia, although some of the symptoms, such as depression, can be treated. Most other treatments aim to reduce the risk factors for further brain damage. However, some studies have found that cholinesterase inhibitors, such as galantamine (Razadyne) and other Alzheimer's disease drugs, can improve cognitive function and behavioral symptoms in patients with early vascular dementia.The progression of vascular dementia can often be slowed significantly or halted if the underlying vascular risk factors for the disease are treated. Doctors may prescribe medicines to control high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. Medications to relieve restlessness or depression, or to help patients sleep better may also be prescribed.
Medications for Other Dementias
Some studies have suggested that cholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil (Aricept), can reduce behavioral symptoms in some patients with Parkinson's dementia.At present, no medications are approved specifically to treat or prevent frontotemporal dementia and most other types of progressive dementia. However, sedatives, antidepressants, and other medications may be useful in treating specific symptoms and behavioral problems associated with these diseases.Scientists continue to search for specific treatments to help people with Lewy body dementia. Current treatment is symptomatic, often involving the use of medication to control the parkinsonian and psychiatric symptoms.There is no known treatment that can cure or control Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Current treatment is aimed at alleviating symptoms and making the patient as comfortable as possible. Opiate drugs can help relieve pain and the drugs clonazepam (Klonopin) and sodium valproate (Depacon) may help relieve myoclonus.
Can Dementia be Prevented?
Research has revealed a number of factors that may be able to prevent or delay the onset of dementia in some people. For example, studies have shown that people who maintain tight control over their glucose levels tend to score better on tests of cognitive function than those with poorly controlled diabetes. Several studies also have suggested that people who engage in intellectually stimulating activities, such as social interactions, chess, crossword puzzles, and playing a musical instrument, significantly lower their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia. Other preventive actions include lowering homocysteine (amino acids), lowering cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, exercise, education, controlling inflammation, and long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen, naproxen, and similar drugs.
Caring for People with Dementia
People with moderate and advanced dementia typically need round-the-clock care and supervision to prevent them from harming themselves or others. They also may need assistance with daily activities such as eating, bathing, and dressing. Meeting these needs takes patience, understanding, and careful thought by the person's caregivers.A typical home environment can present many dangers and obstacles to a person with dementia such as sharp knives, dangerous chemicals, tools, and other hazards which should be removed or locked away. Safety measures include installing bed and bathroom safety rails, removing locks from bedroom and bathroom doors, and lowering the hot water temperature to 120° F (48. 9° C) or less to reduce the risk of accidental scalding.
Caring for People with Dementia (continued)
People with dementia often develop behavior problems because of frustration with specific situations. Understanding and modifying or preventing the situations that trigger these behaviors may help to make life more pleasant for the person with dementia as well as his or her caregivers. For instance, the person may be confused or frustrated by the level of activity or noise in the surrounding environment. Reducing unnecessary activity and noise (such as limiting the number of visitors and turning off the television when it's not in use) may make it easier for the person to understand requests and perform simple tasks.Confusion also may be reduced by simplifying home decorations, removing clutter, keeping familiar objects nearby, and following a predictable routine throughout the day.Calendars and clocks also may help patients orient themselves. Normal leisure activities as long as they are safe and do not cause frustration such as crafts, games, music and exercise, and other intellectually stimulating activities may slow the decline of cognitive function in some people.
Driving and Dementia
Many studies have found that driving is unsafe for people with dementia. They often get lost and they may have problems remembering or following rules of the road. They also may have difficulty processing information quickly and dealing with unexpected circumstances. Even a second of confusion while driving can lead to an accident.Driving with impaired cognitive functions can also endanger others. Some experts have suggested that regular screening for changes in cognition might help to reduce the number of driving accidents among elderly people, and some states now require that doctors report people with Alzheimer's disease to their state motor vehicle department. However, in many cases, it is up to the person's family and friends to ensure that the person does not drive.
What Research Is Being Done on Dementia?
Research on the causes of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias includes studies of genetic factors, neurotransmitters, inflammation, factors that influence programmed cell death in the brain, and the roles of tau, beta amyloid, and the associated neurofibrillary tangles and plaques in Alzheimer's disease.Since many dementias and other neurodegenerative diseases have been linked to abnormal clumps of proteins in cells, researchers are trying to learn how these clumps develop, how they affect cells, and how the clumping can be prevented.Researchers are searching for additional genes that may contribute to Alzheimer's disease, and they have identified a number of gene regions that may be involved. They are also continually working to develop new drugs for Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia.Many researchers believe a vaccine that reduces the number of amyloid plaques in the brain might ultimately prove to be the most effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease. Current research focuses on many different aspects of dementia. This research promises to improve the lives of people affected by the dementias and may eventually lead to ways of preventing or curing these disorders.

I used this to replace an aging Onkyo home theater. The install, and set up were a breeze. Very easy with the on screen menu. I am using it as a 7.1, but can expand it to 9.1 for Main Zone. I purchased a Niles amp to power my Zone 2. This way I did not loose the 7.1 in Main Zone, if both are in use. I power and sound for movie viewing is fantastic. The Air play is great too, no other wire/connections needed for my I Tunes and the free app from my apple phone no real need to use the remote. You won't be disappointed with Denon!

Yes No Denon AVR 3313 Written By Couldn't be happier, North West on Monday, December 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) After spending a long time reading specs from more than a dozen receivers, I finally pulled the trigger on the Denon when the price dropped. Wow, what a deal. At this point, I have only had the unit for a couple of weeks, but it is doing everything I had hoped. I am pushing a pair of Def Tech studio monitor 450s in the bedroom on zone 2, and the main zone is running a pair of B&W 685s, an HTM61 center and an Infinity PS-212 sub. My main motivation for buying this unit was its ability to multi-zone with different inputs. Thus far, it is doing that wonderfully. I can be watching a movie at the same time my wife is cranking Pandora and the Denon doesn't miss a beat. We will see what the longevity of the unit is running it this way, but I am excited at this point. Pros: Quite user friendly, easy set up, multi zone with different inputs at the same time, home network connectivity, Cons: remote was designed for a 5th grader (no bells or whistles), droid app is just "OK", generates a lot of heat. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Receiver Written By DougH, Lexington, KY on Friday, November 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent AV Receiver for the price. Unfortunately, no longer available at Crutchfield. Wish the unit came with a hard copy of Owner's Manual because there's lots of information in the CD version that accompanies it and its difficult to keep flipping back and forth among the pages to learn the various tasks. Speaker set up and balancing greatly aided by the automation built into the unit. It literally walks you through each step of the initial set up. Liked this one so much, I bought a second one for use with system in basement family room. Pros: Guided initial setup Ample HDMI connections and other connections Cons: No hard copy owners manual No switched electric outlet(s) Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon ARV-3313CI Written By Steve, Ontario, CA on Thursday, October 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) A wonderful machine! I needed to replace an aging Bose LifeStyle system and,after many nights pouring over the specs of many of the AVRs out there, I had my choices narrowed down to 2 Denons (the X3000 and the 3313CI) and a Yamaha (RX-A1020). Sound is subjective.... we all hear things a little differently, and to me, when I pitted the Denon against the Yamaha using the same ML15s, the Denon easily won The 3313CI pushing out 125 watts ...and at this price, I couldn't let it go....! Pros: Crisp, clean sound Excellent video processing Excellent value Cons: lack of a secondary USB port (5W dc) on the back panel.. would have been perfect to power the cabinet fans 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No The Jury Is Still Out Written By StevenB, Southeastern PA on Sunday, October 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've had the receiver hooked up for just a week now and I'm still trying to figure it all out. Either I need to spend more time with the owner's manual or my connections are not right because I can't seem to get all the features and components to work. This unit replaced a 12 year old Denon that still works and was easy to use, but when I upgraded to a new Smart 3D TV and Blu ray player, I decided to splurge on a new receiver as well. Connecting everything was not a problem, but figuring out how to get sound from my CD/DVD player to a second set of speakers (for example) is still a mystery. I'll keep working on it, I just didn't expect such a steep learning curve. Pros: Looks good as many of the controls, USB, earphone jack, etc. are under a drop-down cover. Has inputs for more than you have to connect, most likely. Cons: Controls are not logical or intuitive; hard to learn and it weighs a ton. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I had a 10 year old Denon and it was much harder to set up. All you need to do is run a hdmi cable to your tv and any other components and attach your speakers. It will adjust the sound in setup mode. Cons: None yet. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Not really being a tech guy so I was very skeptical that I could to try and swap receivers when mine died. Since none of the local tech guys wouldn't respond I took a chance figuring Crutchfield support would bail me out. As it turns out, it was a breeze.

Pros: Easy Setup Cons: None so far 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great AVR Written By Jim, Charlottesville VA on Tuesday, October 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Through the years I have used Sony and Onkyo to run my 7.2 home theatre and everything always sounded okay but I was never overly impressed. It was good and I liked it but it was never great. After reading a lot of positive reviews on AVR sound quality from companies like Denon and Marantz I decided to make a change. I was on the fence between the Denon 3313CI and the Marantz SR6007 but since the Denon gave me 125 wpc and the Marantz only had 110wpc I decided to go with the Denon. I have Polk RTI-a7 speakers for my front channels and they need lots of power, the more the better so the extra 15 watts that the 3313CI provided was important to me. I replaced my Onkyo with the Denon 3313CI. When I got the new Denon I ran Audyssey and WOW, the sound of my home theatre was immediately transformed for the better. It went from okay to fantastic! I am very happy with this purchase. Pros: Grat sound, great features, easy to set up and use. Transforms your home theatre. Cons: The remote leaves a lot to be desired. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon AVR 3313CI Written By Anonymous, Augusta, GA on Friday, September 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This receiver is much easier to use than our previous Denon AVR 1910. It provides more power and clearer sound. The setup and remote are also much more user friendly - All of the setup is done on your tv screen and it is easy to identify sound problems during the setup process. Anyone who had the 2 sided Denon remote knows how awful it was; this is much better with a single on/off button instead of 2 buttons (allows for much easier universal remote programming). The only thing to note...If you want to run AppleTV (or any other digital audio output) in Zone 2, you will have to purchase a converter. It's not difficult, just a pain if you aren't expecting it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Denon AVR-3313CI just fair Written By JoeG, Springfield, VA on Tuesday, September 10, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Used with B&W 604-S2 Front speakers, Polk CSI-6A Center, and REL Q150E Sub. Listen to Music in 2.1 Stereo mode and TV/Movies with 3.1 Cinema mode, both with Audyssey active. Sound only decent with Audyssey active. Sound disappointing in Stereo Direct Mode. Dialog clear for movies, but voices can be a bit hollow sounding, as noted by another reviewer. Runs hot regardless of volume setting, limiting placement. Easy to get caught in firmware update loop, if Ethernet cable not "directly connected" to cable modem. Very confusing manual. Remote and front panel lack too many features. Denon Ipod/Iphone App clumsy too. FM/HD tuner is very good, main reason I bought this model. Audyssey setup very easy and good. Audyssey "saves" the system from being "poor" sounding. Like the sound of my old Denon AVR-2802 as much or better and it ran cooler. Mid to lower bass is weak in Stereo Pure/Direct mode. Not a good value for the money. Should have tried a Marantz as others noted. I do not send video thru the unit so I can't comment on video processing. Pros: Good HD/FM/AM Tuner. Audyssey setup was easy and its sound settings made for clear dialog. Nice spatial sound even in Stereo with Audyssey active. Good mid and upper frequency range without being harsh sounding. Audyssey enriches mid to lower bass frequencies too. So Audyssey processing was quite impressive Cons: Runs much too hot at all volume levels, limiting placement. Sound is only decent with Audyssey active, though voices can be a bit hollow sounding in Cinema Modes.Easy to get caught in firmware update loop, if Ethernet cable not "directly connected" to cable modem. Very confusing manual. Remote and front panel lack too many features. Denon Ipod/Iphone App clumsy too. Internet radio tuning/selection awkward and seems to drop stations.

Yes No Denon AVR-3313CI Written By Cranky_Frankie, Guilderland, NY on Thursday, August 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Here is my review of the Denon AV3313CI home theater receiver that I purchased from Crutchfield. First a little background: this is the first home theater receiver I've ever purchased, and is easily the most expensive and complicated piece of audio gear I've ever had. Though I've always considered myself an audiophile I'd never bothered to setup a good system because my wife and kids don't like me playing anything really loud or for long periods. But my daughter's boyfriend works for Bose and got me a really good deal on the Acoustimas 10 5.1 speaker system, so I had to buy something that would do justice to that. I'd done a lot of research and wanted very badly to buy a Yamaha home theater receiver because I like Yamaha products and their receivers have HD radio which I really wanted. When I started shopping I naturally looked at Crutchfield because I've been buying from them since the '70s. They are a great company and I love to buy from them whenever I can because they have fair prices and great customer service. In searching for home theater receivers with HD radio at Crutchfield the Denon AV3313CI was $400 less than the equivalent Yamaha, plus I was able get an "open box" one for $80 less. So figuring all of that in I wound up with the Denon. They tell me at Crutchfield that the AV3313CI is last year's model which is why it was being sold at a discount. Still, this model has so many great features I'm just blown away by it. Pros: - plenty of power at 150W/channel. - HD radio support. There are only three HD stations in my area of upstate NY but one of them is the oldies channel, which means I get oldies all day and all night with no commercials every day, which is great, plus they play tracks you never hear on the main station. I think HD radio is terrific and I don't know why there isn't more of it. - It connects to the Internet via Ethernet cable. Some folks may think that wireless Internet access should be inclu Cons: - the speaker connection terminals are very close together, making it hard to attach the wires. - It's Internet connected and lists Spotify as one of it's sources, but when I try to connect using my Spotify ID it tells me you need a premium Spotify account to connect. I've been using the free Spotify for a long time and love it. I don't see why you should be forced to get the premium account just to listen on the receiver. Spotify premium is only about $9/month, but as I don't have a smart ph 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Great sound and features, not perfect Written By Chrismo, La Costa, CA on Sunday, August 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Yes, I probably want it all. Lots of reviews here that I agree with. I did get a buggy unit (picture cutting out and very loose power cord) that I ended up bricking after a failed firmware update. Exchanged easily with Crutchfield and was ready for round 2. Sound: so much fuller than my 10-year old Yamaha 5.1. My wife thought that I had replaced the speakers inside and outside to make it sound so good. Has plenty of power for my family room/great room and my outside Zone 2 speakers, but other reviewers are correct in the fact that you have to crank the volume to get enough sound and then room filling sound. I like the non echoey room sound modes like Dolby and DTS, but I miss having music modes that preserve the stereo by using all of the speakers except the center. I can always use the stereo modes if I'm irked by it. The sound restorer gives the music a nice full sound compared to direct mode. Features: good as expected, with pros and cons. All HDMI sources and the component Wii go through perfectly with no cutting and fast enough switching. The AirPlay from iPad and iPhone have a nice interface for music on the devices or our upstairs Windows 7 machine running iTunes. However, I REALLY wish I had the option to play AppleTV outside by itself or with the main zone, but it only has HDMI and I haven't bought a DAC to make that work: Denon should have that built in. When controlling the iPod Classic with remote, there was quite a lag in the response. Pros: Huge sound upgrade over 10-year old Yamaha, excellent picture and switching with HDMI, AirPlay works well, Pandora working now, Zone 2 control, free decent Apple Remote app for graphically choosing music on iPad or iPhone, updated Denon remote app does more and had good zone controls, easy set-up, two sub outs, simple remote, looks good and chassis fairly shallow for cabinet, can IPad in by Wi-Fi for full control, sound restorer for compressed music works well Cons: Had to return buggy first unit (but Crutchfield service is a pro), iPod Classic control very sluggish, No digital sources other than main zone even when Zone 2 is mirroring the main zone, no music modes that omit center speaker, loose power cord, USB only in front but don't want to clutter front with permanent iPod connection, may not have enough power to really fill a large room 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Sonic Awesomeness Written By Hardisk, Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've been a Denon fan for a LONG time. From my first cassette deck, to my first CD player, there has always been at least one Denon device in my home. So, when shopping for a new AV receiver for my Home Theater I didn't have to look very far. The latest crop of Denon In Command receivers really are awesome! I was looking for a model with all the bells and whistles including SiriusXM Satellite Radio and 4K video, so I settled on the AVR-3313ci. Surprisingly it's the ONLY higher end model that has HD Radio! Installation was fast and straight forward. The menus are easy to figure out and configure. The unit is powering my new Klipsch Reference Series speakers and let me to you, it sounds AMAZING! The only reason I gave my review 4 stars instead of 5 is because the weakest part of the receiver is it's GUI (Graphic User Interface). Overall it is simple and unimpressive. It looks like something out of the 1990's. Just awful. My Roku box blows it away with it's beautifully designed interface, graphics, and simplicity. If Denon can redesign that, the unit truly will be the best on the market. But don't let that stop you from buying it, because once you get it all set up and programmed properly you really don't even notice it. Overall, I'm sure there are fancier models out there, but this one is definitely worth every penny I paid and I'm sure it will be part of my home theater for years to come...... Pros: 4K Video, Sirius XM, HD radio, iPhone control App Cons: Terrible GUI (Graphic User Interface) 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

You have to think as you enable various components. Was this review helpful? Yes No Just what I needed Written By Billy, Woodbridge, VA on Thursday, August 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great receiver. The only issue that I have is with the AirPlay. I'm having to bridge my wireless connection to give the receiver a wired connection which sometimes causes issues. I know it's a bandwidth issue, but kinda sucks. I wish it were wireless. Aside from that, it works great and I am happy with my purchase. Pros: Lots of connections (inputs) and 3 zone outputs. Cons: Can't put all zones on for all speakers at once and isn't wireless. No dealbreakers though. Was this review helpful? Yes No the little things are so nice Written By PhatPat, Austin, TX on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Beyond just the well-marketed features (power, inputs, etc.), I really like the little things about this receiver. The fact that the Denon GUI overlays on top of whatever you are watching so you can actually see what volume you are at from across the room makes me very happy (my old Denon didn't do that). If you turn on AirPlay, the unit powers up if off. That makes it super-easy for my wife to play her tunes whenever she wants. A couple cons (which us why I gave it a 4): It is 3 zones, but if you want to use your extra channels to power another zone, it only works with an analog source. Who listens to analog sources any more? The nice thing is that if you use the Media Server option it will play through those other zones; you just have to set up your computer to do it. I have Zone 3 running to a in-wall speaker in my bathroom, and I can run it from my phone which is nice, when the Denon App works. I will also note that the Denon App is a little unstable, but still usable. I have Zone 2 set up to run a computer monitor, so I have Zone 2 always on, and even with only Zone 2 on, the unit is pretty hot. That has me a little concerned about long-term reliability, but I guess we will see... Pros: all the usual stuff (power, inputs, multi-zone); GUI overlay; Airplay automatically turns on the unit Cons: using built-in amp for multi-zone only works with analog sources; app is a bit unstable; gets pretty hot even when no speakers are being powered 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I upgraded from the Denon AVR-3805 since I was using a separate HDMI splitter/amplifer. Trying to cut cords in my entertainment center I opted for the the AVR-3313Cl. So far it has been great. Setup and the interface were easy to use. The dual video output makes for a seamless transition between projector and tv that is usually found on much more expense AV/Receivers.

Yes No Consistently Quirky and Underwhelming Written By BillU, Charlotte, NC on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) In short, its' most consistent feature is its continued inconsistency. I bought this as a centerpiece to my Klipsch Left/Right, Polk Center, and Polk subwoofer. Besides being insanely non-intuitive to setup, with way too many options and menus, in the end, this unit is an expensive Duck. Like a duck that can do many things, such as swim, fly, walk, but yet do none of them well, this Denon unit is at best that and usually worse. So far, it: 1) does not do Airplay correctly for all of my iOS devices; with some seeing it and some not or in part; 2) does not consistently turn off or on the LSF subwoofer - so I wind up doing it manually most times; 3) does not consistently enable sound when on media or cable sat, etc...i wind up turning unit on and off to get it to recognize such fact; 4) cannot even keep a simple local FM radio station in-tune...even using a powered FM antennae externally, which has served well for years my $50 cheapie receiver this one is replacing; 5) in no way shape or form works as a single remote for my TV, Cable/Sat etc; even frustrating Crutchfield tech support; 6) Never acts consistently the same twice in a row - it's always new to find out what button-pushing sequence will make it wake up this time; 7) requires a full-on turn it up to 55+ on a scale of 0-80, before it even MAKES a sound...hence, it's underpowered even though it is a wattage monster 8) requires vampire-electric sucking on-standby to even do minimal remote functions. A complete $ hole Pros: - Honestly, none Cons: - Inconsistent behavior - large, bulky, weighty - apparently underpowered and/or inefficient - does nothing well - AirPlay will not work - Single remote control will not work - Terrible as a basic FM radio - Terrible non-intuitive menus and settings - Terrible documentation and as PDF, even worse - Too many fancy settings and cannot even do basic things first - Way too expensive for its alleged quality 4 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I needed a receiver that supports 4K,3D and ARC to compliment my new 65" 3D Plasma HDTV.Watching PROMETHEUS in 3D was stunning! This is the unit to buy if you are upgrading older technology. Audio and video quality are superb! Pros: The set-up assistant is very intuitive and easy to use. Cons: NONE Was this review helpful? Yes No Wow, Terrific AVR Written By GeneA, North County San Diego, CA on Sunday, June 09, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Upgraded from an ancient Denon Receiver. I've been eyeballing this AVR for quite a while and the release of the new AVRs and price drop for this made it a go. I needed a receiver with at least three zones and this one fits the ticket perfectly. Setup took a bit but was largely painless with the on-screen/monitor step-by-steps. The sound is terrific and it is great to be able to finally port almost everything through HDMI (was running composite, optical, digital, and RCA on old system). The sound and video quality is fantastic in my space. I am using this to drive 5.1 surround and a second zone a the moment. Great buy. Pros: Great sound and video. 3 zones available. Denon Control App and airplay really brings this AVR to life in our home. Setup was easy enough for what you gain as a result...very good on-screen step-by-step. Cons: Frankly, None that I have found yet. Was this review helpful? Yes No SOUNDS GREAT!!! EASY SET UP FOR THE MOST PART Written By SCOTT F, BAKERSFIELD, CA on Friday, June 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was replacing an earlier Denon AVR1082 which back in the day was a pretty stout reciever but did not have HDMI back then. so it was time to update the audio side of my audio/video theater system. the set up was fairly easy for me but when it came time to try the apple AIR PLAY it was new territory for me and i still havn't figured out the Denon Remote App yet. but thats not a big deal to me at this point. The system sounds great, more power than i expected to it to have. It made my Klipsch Reference series speakers come to life. the HI's are brighter than ever before. The osd was something to get used to and some of the settings for sub were a little confusing at first. if all else fails... read the manual... Right!!! once i read about some of the settings and was able to dial in the sub and now it plays on all modes.(at first it only workd on surround modes not stereo) all in all i love this new reciever and would recommend to anybody looking for a great upgrade. Pros: LOOKS, STRONG POWER AMP, CLEAR SOUND, BRIGHT HIGHS, MULTI ROOM, APPLE AIR PLAY Cons: SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT SETUP, FOR ME ANYWAY.... 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wow! Written By Paddy O'Furniture, Rhode Island on Thursday, June 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I consider myself to be a home theater enthusiast and have had high-end receivers from Yamaha and Nad in the past. I had my eye on the Marantz SR7007 for quite some time and compared it to the Denon AVR-3313CI. Both units have nearly identical specs and features but at $1,000 cheaper, I decided to give the Denon AVR-3313Ci a chance. And boy am I glad that I did! So far it has behaved flawlessly. It has been on almost non-stop since I hooked it up. I am rediscovering my music collection and taking full advantage of AirPlay streaming, built-in Pandora, Spotify and Internet Radio. Setup was a breeze. I will soon be adding multi-zone audio and video. This thing is packed with features and at 125 watts per channel, it has plenty of horsepower to fill the room with amazing sound. Every so often I make a smart purchase that I want to tell the world about and this receiver definitely fits into that category. Pros: Feature rich. AirPlay, Pandora, Spotify, Internet Radio. Great separation of multi-channel audio. 3 audio/video zones. 125 Watts per channel. Great value! Cons: None yet. Still amazed at how much product I received for the money. Was this review helpful? Yes No Love it Written By Whidby, Draper, UT on Monday, June 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had it several weeks and so far it rocks! I bought it as a replacement to and older Harmon Kardon. This receiver has brought out more of my system than I thought possible. I heard sound in Pirates of the Caribbean that I haven't heard since seeing it in the theater. The Oddesy works great for movies but we found it better to manually adjust for music. The app works great too. My main complaint is that iTunes runs off the Apple Remote app and not off the Denon app, but it could be that I haven't figured that part out yet. When you switch inputs to Network, the receiver's control capabilities seem to end. There are so many ways to adjust this it will take me several more weeks of playing with it to get it dialed in. Pros: Sound is awesome. Turntable input is great. Pandora and HD radio work great. LOVE being able to listen to my iTunes catalogue and control it from my phone. Cons: Wish it had a back-lit remote. Huge manual is a pdf, not printed and having a computer in one room and the receiver in another makes it hard to adjust quickly. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon 3313CI Written By Handyman, Duluth Mn. on Sunday, June 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an outstanding, feature packed AVR. I received it two days after I received it from Crutchfield and had it up and running in less than an hour. This is the 4th Denon AVR I've owned and unless something changes my mind in the future, it is the best value considering the price from Crutchfield. Pros: The great sound and picture I've always experienced from Denon. Ease of setup. The network system and Tuner.Plenty of power to drive my 7.2 speaker system in a 3800 cubic ft. room. You just can't find a better product for the price. Cons: maybe the remote. Also the build quality compared to the Japanese built Denons. Time will tell on that. Was this review helpful? Yes No Great mid-level receiver. Written By Bart, Texas on Sunday, June 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Was waiting for this receiver to go on close out - needed to upgrade my 3310 for 3D support. The new X-4000 has some important features that would be nice. X-4000 vs 3313 full retail is a no brainer - X4000 all the way for the X32 Audyssey, true dual sub support, and more pre-outs. At the current pricing, the 3313 had everything I really need for nearly half the price. Pros: Solid upgrade from my older 3310 receiver. Missing minor features but the added features more than offset these. Cons: No X32 or true dual sub support in Audyssey. Doesn't have pre-outs for all channels, only the main 5. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Love Airplay Written By RobW, Wyoming, MI on Sunday, June 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Only had this receiver 3 weeks. This replaced a 75 w/ch Denon AVR-1609 which sounded great. Just wanted more power. This receiver delivers lots of clean power. I play music using itunes from my desktop. I used to use a 50 ft toslink optical cable to link the computer to the AVR. Now I can send the audio via airplay over my home network. Now, I can control the song selection from AVR remote. I'm a huge fan of Crutchfield's return policy. I tryed a Marantz 6007 receiver before this Denon and was not impressed. I returned it, it was easy, no fuss, only cost me shipping. Pros: Lots of clean power. Better defined center image. Airplay simplifies playing music. Audyssey can show me the frequecy response of the loudspeaker + listening room system. Crutchfield Cons: The audyssey setup is not as accurate (reproducable) as my older Denon AVR-1609. I'm trying to use the bi-amp feature, but still sounds better without bi-amp (so far). Was this review helpful? Yes No My first Denon receiver. Written By TallEars, Hazard. KY on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Looks good, very clean, easy to navigate and lots of watts and lots of features including D-link and phono-in. Pros: What else could you want from a receiver? Cons: Except maybe a mono switch. Was this review helpful? Yes No Very Pleased Written By GJW, Melbourne, fl on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well worth the money. Fairly easy set-up- enhanced by great customer service from Crutchfield. Tech support answers quickly and has answers. Although the unit didn't drive my speakers much more than my previous receiver, the sound is warmer and infinitely more controllable. Remote is easy to use. Pros: I bought it from Crutchfield. They were helpful in the selection process and walked me through the operational questions I had. Much more helpful than you might expect, especially when compared to a few stores I visited where answers were few and far between. Cons: None that I can see Was this review helpful? Yes No Replaced Denon AVR-2803 Written By KGM, Milton, NH on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My old Denon AVR did not have HDMI switching. This was the basis for upgrading. However, the new AVR is capable of decoding many more audio formats and solved a few audio decoding problems with some TV channels. Pros: Audysee speaker set up, Analog video up conversion, phono input, remote includes 4 favorite station buttons Cons: Universal remote doesn't work with INSIGNIA TV 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Loving My Denon Written By Doug M, Batavia, NY on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) First of all I would like to Thank Crutchfield for their fine service. This is the place to buy equipment. No muss ... no fuss in the ordering/delivery process. 2 day delivery outstanding and FREE shipping. Couldn't ask for more in this department. Now on to my story .... I originally purchased a Denon AV-1913 and was extremely impressed with what I received for the dollars spent. However, the room I am filling is 38 X 30 and I knew (even though I'm using fairly efficient Polk speakers) I was using too much of the gain on the AV-1913 for that sized room, although it still sounded very clean. I called Crutchfield, after seeing the Denon AVR-3313ci on sale and upgraded to at the NEW SALE price, a real bargin. I shipped the AV-1913 back and they credited my account. Seamless and NO hassle whatsoever. Congrats's to Crutchfield .... this the way to run a business. Now, on with my story. I could not be happier, this AV receiver is a real powerhouse, does the job in that sized room. What was really noticeable was the added detail I got from this receiver. I could hear more depth and all the nuances in the music were more apparent .... outstanding clear, clean sound. Now, I'm prepared to order more speakers, a pair of Polk Floor Standers. This then will upgrade my 5.1 Polk system to a 7.1 positioning my Polk RTI4's I am currently using as Left and Right "Front' Speakers to Left and Right "Front" Height Speakers. I can't wait to experience the next step ... 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No So far so good Written By Happy, Tejas on Monday, May 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) No problems yet, all works as stated and like the receiver. Runs fine on network, app works good to! Pros: Features, ease of use and sound quality Cons: None yet 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No I like it!! Written By tpj1959, Lemoore, CA on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this as my Denon 3808CI will not pass 3D from my blu-ray player. First thing I noticed was it was quite a bit lighter than the old unit. I use the pre-outs so I'm not sure if the power out of the speaker connections would be affected. I currently have 4 Ohm speakers and need good clean power. I did the Audessy thing and was very pleased with the results. Our first movie was Top Gun in 3D. IT WAS GREAT!! Then watched Daryl Hall's House on Palladia...Couldn't be happier with the sound and video switching. If you're looking to play your iPhone through this device you will be disappointed..for some reason that function locks you out of EQ settings and the sound lacks bass. I have Apple TV and that works fine running my songs through that. Pros: Great Sound for music and movies. Cons: Apple Play (Air Play) is useless...does not allow any EQ so sound is very bad. 4 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon AVR 3313CI 5 star deal Written By Gary, Stockton, CA on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) One of Denon's best at one of Crutchfield's best prices, a 5 star deal. Can't miss with this one if your looking for an amp in the 125watt range! Pros: Easy to set up and operate. Cons: Remote is too big and has too many buttons. Was this review helpful? Yes No Fantastic Receiver Written By RM, Colorado Spgs, CO on Saturday, May 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a great receiver right out of the box. Denon made an all around quality product with this receiver. It's extremely simple in design, easy to set up, and powerful! I was looking for a quality receiver that could power all of my components, especially my turntable. The multi-zone feature has been great! I've been able to listen to music out on the patio, while the wife watches movies in the living room! Finally, you can't beat the price that Crutchfield was offering on this system during their Denon sale! Pros: Phono input, multiple HDMI, multi-zone capabilities, sleek features, easy to use, powerful. Cons: The old receiver I replaced offered up an equalizer, which made it easy to adjust the sound. I wish this receiver had more options to really adjust the sound. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Upgrade Written By ChrisS, Sacramento, CA on Thursday, April 25, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Replaced an 8 year old Denon 3805. The old unit didn't have HDMI but was a great receiver. I purchased this unit for the HDMI. Very easy to set up and sounds great. My plasma display looks better than it did going through an HDMI switch. Pros: Audyssey MultEQ XT Set up assistant Cons: None so far 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent AVR, best one yet Written By GregoryP, Caledonia, WI on Thursday, March 07, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have owned several Denon AVRs in the past 8 years and this one is the best one I have ever owned so far. This model has the easiest setup, very good GUI and options I have seen. My last Denon, the AVR-3808CI, had great sound, but it was missing some of the things I wanted I now have in this AVR. What did I do with the other AVRs? I put them in other smaller HT rooms like my master bedroom or sell them to friends who know me and enjoy good HT setups. This model has HD radio, plenty of HDMI inputs and outputs, among others, including a turntable input, a great front panel display, an easy to use remote, excellent sound and video up-conversion, 2 outputs for my subs, among other things that are often optional in some other mfg. models in this price range. Although it has only 7.2 outputs for speakers, if you don't have or want to have 4 speaker surrounds, you can easily set it up for more front speaker action, either wide or height wise, a nice touch and then set the surround for Dolby PLllz instead of Dolby PLllx. The only thing I would have kept on this newest model is the front display showing my input signal AND the output in the speaker-box display as on older Denon models, just to make sure I am getting signal out and in at the same time, but I usually just set it to IN for now. Sony has its blue light, I prefer the boxes display. I would definitely buy this model again and am going to use this model as a reference for future purchases and recommended HT setups. Pros: Excellent sound and video up conversion, easiest setup ever, quick operation, good front panel display, good layout of back panel for connections, many useful features and options available for your use, including 4K and 3D pass through, HD radio and front speaker options if you don't use all back surrounds. Cons: Remote could be backlighted at this price point, the IN and OUT signals could be displayed at the same time as with previous Denon AVRs. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon AVR-3313CI Written By Anonymous, Albuquerque, NM on Tuesday, February 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was very excited about this receiver. This is my first home system, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I loved it at first. Now, I am frustrated with it. I had to download an upgrade to get Pandora to work. This receiver is buggy. For example, when I turn it on and hit the cab/sat button, it seems to work fine. Then within one minute or so, it turns to tv/audio. Sometimes, when playing Pandora, the screen to my TV will flash green and then the whole unit turns off. Tonight, as I was watching TV, it stopped and then went to some really odd Pandora station with a bunch of static. Not only did it switch, but as I was turning the volume down, the receiver was turning it up...and down, but mostly up. It was really loud. I had to shut off the power in order to get it under control. I am NOT happy with this receiver. Unfortunately, my 60 days has passed and I cannot return it to Crutchfield. I will be contacting Denon. Pros: Looks nice. Cons: Too buggy 6 out of 11 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Far from thrilled Written By Chris, SoCal on Monday, December 24, 2012 Where to start...I compared the Denon line up to the Marantz line up for some time before making my decision to go with this unit. On paper it seemed like you where getting more for your money. And as both brands are essentially identical (chip sets for DAC, DSP, etc.) and the audio specs where almost identical, I figured why not go with the more loaded up Denon? Especially since the Denon in my opinion is a bit better looking, as it features a front cover....all in all, a terrible mistake. A mistake at least if you actually care about how your music sounds. The picture is terrific, and I have no complaints about the video ability at all. but unfortunately for me I am a bit of an audiophile, and the sound was just terrible, whether manually tuned, or via Audessey. First off, I always manually tune, as I feel I have yet to encounter an setup mic system that gets it even close to right, and this was the case here as well. But even after carefully tuning, it had lackluster bass response, unrealistic mids, and harsh highs that ran together. The soundstage was small, lacked any clarity and depth, and some instruments were just plain horribly reproduced. The build quality of the unit is very sad too, especially for an expensive Denon. The back panel flexes when inserting speaker plugs, and the power cable fits very loosely. I can go on and on, but am running out of review space. Got myself a sr6007 instead, slightly better build quality, and thankfully much better sound Pros: video quality, ease of use, good looks Cons: almost everything else, sound quality, build quality. Denon and Marantz need to step up the build quality, which has taken a huge turn for the worse since moving assembly to China. 21 out of 27 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No 3311 Written By pappy, drums, pa on Friday, December 21, 2012 purchased the 3311 in Mar 2011, have become completely disgusted and frustrated with 3311ci AVR, internet radio is unreliable (drop outs, gui response time is terrible) all video sources now have a series of red and/or blue horizontal lines displayed, picture quality has degraded, unit frequently 'locks up', need to unplug to 'reboot' unit, these issues have been a problem shortly after purchase, Denon support and service has been for all practical puposes nonexsistent, I decided on this unit for internet radio, optical digital input and output, and claimed exceptional video processing, I have been a Denon fan and had other products since the 1970's, no more, I suggest caution when purchasing a Denon product and at the first sign of troubles RETURN IT I do want to say Crutchfield has been and is a good company and will always be one of the first I consider doing business with, the issue is not with them but with one of the companies they represent and it's products Pros: none Cons: no customer support 11 out of 35 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Getting used to it Written By jllaclair, Towson, MD on Thursday, December 13, 2012 It has been almost 14 years since I purchased my last receiver. The technology that is in today's receivers is incredible. I've had issues when switching from one audio source to cable source and fiddeling with the remote for 15 minutes trying to get the sound back. Simple solution was to turn the receiver off and on again. Then it happened again, and after about anohter 30 min I found out that it kept switching from digital to Analog, and I finally found the setting for Auto. It's a lot to setup at first and learn all the functions of the receiver, but it does sound great! I do feel I am sometimes switching back and forth from Dobly and Neo 6 for theater and music, and I don;t know why under stereo I don't get sub, sub is only offered on Dolby or NEO. I do have a little bleed over from the tuner through the speakers when I switch to a CD or DVD, prior to turning on those systems, but when I turn them on the bleed over stops. Not sure if I will take it back or try to investigate further. overall I am impressed with all the offerings this system has and love the airplay... some of the HD stations don;t sound particulary great when broadcasting below 128Kbs.

This machine is fantastic for a multi room audio and video set up. The on screen user interface is easy to use and is intuitive. Switching ins and outs to the three different zones is easy. The machine does not run as hot as other receivers I have had. Pros: versatile multi room functions, easy to navigate on screen display, reasonable price Cons: no wi fi capabilities Was this review helpful? Yes No Denon 3313 Written By Steve, BHC, AZ on Monday, November 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is a very good receiver, if you do not plan on using the FM Tuner in the 96-101MHz area. I have tried two of these units and both will "cut-out", no sound output for a second, after about 10 minutes of playing. That ruins a lot of great music! None of the other modes have this problem, just the FM Tuner mode. This is unacceptable for the price! I won't put up with it, give me a Yamaha or (yuck) Onkyo. This Denon fails to deliver so only 2 stars. Pros: Terric sound, just do not use as an FM receiver, you will be disappointed.. Cons: It's too bad Denon released this unit with defective FM circiutry. I will NEVER purchase another of their products. 7 out of 28 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Great package, well pleased with the available features, still learning what's available. Have not tried to run video (sat) through the amp yet, results to be determined for loss of picture clarity Pros: Sound is beyond crystal clear and well above what I expected. Easy hook up. Easy menu. Cons: Once connected to the net, took 2+ hours to update (may have been server). Does not have sufficient power to feed my tower speakers 4 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Receiver! Written By Kevin D, St. Louis, MO on Tuesday, September 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Long time Denon owner, they make solid products and well worth the price for the quality and features you pay for. This receiver is no exception. Upgraded from a 2808CI as I needed the HDMI 1.4 for 3D pass through. Product setup was simple, the onscreen setup and Audyssey speaker setup worked perfectly for my room, and the power and sound quality coupled with my speaker setup brought the whole system to a new life. The additional features, multiple-zones, internet access (SiriusXM, Pandora, etc.), firmware updates, Apple AirPlay, on-screen display for volume adjustment, setup, etc. made this well worth the money. Pros: Setup, power and output, on-screen display, multiple zones, internet connectivity, AirPlay, ports and connections. Cons: Not really a con, but a higher-end remote for the high-end receiver would've been a great compliment. 12 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
