The 1082 is the same receiver as the 3802.Just different marketing.The difference between the 3803 and the 3802 is that the 3803 has better component switching.If you are connecting your dvd,vcr,etc. straight to your tv,(which is better)then there is no advantage that the 3803 has over the 3802 or 1082.Save yourself the money and get the 1082,that's what I'm doing.Anyone else agree or disagree??? Have a great week people....Sid
