Greg... I have not purchased from their referbs, but I think they pack the full manufactures warranty. Not sure though. Don't they have any of that info on the site? Kinda bummed in a way because they didn't have any of the DVD50's on this site when I purchased one about 2 months ago. Could have saved about $150.00 or so.

If a AVR-8000 comes up though, I will seriously have to look at one of those. I hear they sound incredible.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help on your question.

i've had the denon 2802 since last october and have not once regretted choosing it over something else. i know this may be a dumb question, but what is the big difference from the 2802 and 3802 besides ALOT of $$$ and a few more inputs? are the amps/components a higher grade, or is it just more bells and whistles that jack up the price?

the 2802 is 90W/channel...and my SF2's ROCK with that. i imagine your Synergy system (and wallet) will thank you if you go with the 2802. Smile.gif

I almost went with an HK before I got my 3802--all I can say is that although a great product, it was just too ugly to put in my living room. That back lit display really bothered me. Enough that I didn't buy it.

I really do love my Denon and to be fair to it, I probably would have gone with the Denon anyway.

bman1, I agree with you. The 3802 has a little more watts per channel I believe, a few more inputs, and a different remote. To me it wasn't worth the extra money. Just like the top of the line receivers, what would I do with all of that. Most people have no use for all of that. I have enough empty inputs in mine the way it is.

You can pick up a Yamaha RX-V1 for $999 right now, I just did. New, sealed, & an authorized dealer. $31 shipping & no tax is nice. This "Flagship" retailed for THIRTY TWO HUNDRED FREAKING DOLLARS! If you can't swing the additional $299, do a Denon. The 3802 can be had for $699 also from the same dealer. Very reputable. Good luck.

WRONG. The Dealer I'm referring to is FACTORY AUTHORIZED Yamaha, Denon, Sony ES, and many more. The manufacturers websites reflect this as well. The LAST thing I would do is steer someone toward some "greaser scam outlet". Been down that road...If someone feels like paying 200% mark up, with TAXES in addition, great. That's not my business. I simply am offering an alternative. I have NO INENTION in being HOSED locally. I used to be in this business, and am well aware of the MARKUP. Tell me ONE REASON I should pay 2-3 times as much for something locally, when I can buy from an AUTHORIZED DEALER ONLINE?
