NOTE: This sweepstakes is now CLOSED and we have a winner.  Congratulations to Justin Goldman of Cohoes, NY for winning the Denon AVR-3311CI receiver! Check out our March/April sweepstakes where you can win a Panasonic Blu-ray Home Theater system. 

We're teaming up with high-end electronics manufacturer Denon to give away a high performance AVR-3311CI Network Home Theater Receiver worth $1200 to one lucky Big Picture Big Sound reader.  The receiver recently won one of our first BIGGIE Awards for excellence in consumer electronics.  Featuring a plethora of digital and analog inputs, 1080p upconversion of all sources, 3D passthrough and on-board decoding of the latest surround sound formats (Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio), the AVR-3311CI makes the perfect control center for an advanced home theater or media system.  It will also be one of the world's first receivers to support Apple's Airplay technology (via an optional firmware upgrade coming soon), so you'll be able to stream your music collection in iTunes right from the receiver.  Our own Dennis Burger said, "At its price point, the AVR-3311CI is very nearly the perfect receiver," and you have a chance to get one at the perfect price: free!

You can read all about the receiver in Dennis Burger's review: Denon AVR-3311CI Review.

Please note that the receiver you win is the actual review sample itself.  The box has been opened only for the purposes of this review and the receiver has been handled gently while we put it through its paces.  Denon's full warranty will be transferable to the winner upon verification of eligibility.
